Kicksharing services will increase fines for violations to 150 thousand rubles

These are violations such as refusing to get off at pedestrian crossings or driving while intoxicated. According to the services themselves, less than 1% of users ride electric scooters with violations.

The amount of fines for companies will range from 500 to 150 thousand rubles:

• Transfer control of an electric scooter to a child – 10 thousand rubles;
• trip with passenger – 5 thousand rubles;
• refusal to get off at a pedestrian crossing: one thousand rubles;
• Incorrect parking (the scooter is left on the other side of the sidewalk or outside the parking zone) – 500 rubles;
• Operating an electric scooter while intoxicated or causing damage to health or property as a result of an accident through the fault of the user – 100-150 thousand rubles.

As noted by Ksenia Erdman, director of the Association of Micromobility Operators, the increase in fines is aimed at developing a driving culture among users and making electric scooters safer.

The association also recalled that the traffic rules provide for fines for scooter drivers under articles 12.29 to 12.30 of the Administrative Code. Its size is from 500 to 1.5 thousand rubles.

According to Erdman, the services are not intended to replace government control; The new measures are intended to complement traffic regulations.

In the future, a special unified registry of dishonest users may be created. In case of regular violations, they will be deprived of access to the services of major kicksharing operators.
