It is proposed to impose a fine of up to 30 thousand rubles for driving an electric scooter and up to 5 thousand rubles for speeding. If, as a result of an accident with an electric scooter, minor damage to health is caused, the fine will be up to 5 thousand rubles, moderate damage – up to 15 thousand rubles.
Fines are also planned for driving an electric scooter on a motorway, crossing intersections, leaving the scene of an accident and driving on pavements.
