Representatives of the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Digital Development, the Ministry of Justice, the Moscow Department of Transport and State Duma deputies came to a decision to raise the new age for driving electric scooters and other SIMs.
A license is required to use these vehicles. What category is not specified. The riding age is 16 years.
The department held a meeting to develop a complex, comprehensive regulatory session. The public demand is discussed here, both on the part of pedestrians in restricting the movement of SIM on sidewalks, and on the part of drivers in prohibiting their movement on the roads.
