State Duma deputies proposed to register individual mobility aids (SIM) and receive numbers on them. Such an initiative is reflected in the amendments to the bill “On state registration of vehicles in the Russian Federation,” Izvestia learned. Penalties are offered for not registering.
SIM includes electric scooters, electric skateboards, segways, gyro scooters, monowheels. The modifications propose to oblige the owners of these funds to register them within 10 days after the acquisition.
The service is supposed to be available online on the Gosuslug portal.
Parliamentarians also developed amendments to the Administrative Offenses Code, providing for more serious liability of SIM drivers for violating traffic rules.
It is proposed to fine for non-registration (up to 800 rubles for the first time, 5 thousand rubles for a second offense), for leaving the scene of an accident and driving while intoxicated. If drunk driving is allowed a second time, the offender may face 10-15 days arrest.
It is also proposed to fine for driving on sidewalks. In this case, 2 thousand rubles will be collected. And if the SIM administrator ran a red light, he will have to pay from 1 to 5 thousand rubles.
The amendments have already been submitted for government approval.
Since March 1, new traffic rules have been in force in Russia, which clarify the requirements for managing SIMs. For example, the speed of movement of such vehicles should not exceed 25 km / h.
Previously, the Ministry of Transport sent recommendations to the regions on the integration of SIM in the transport system. The agency advocates providing the necessary infrastructures (car parks, bike paths, etc.) and motivating citizens to use this particular type of transport.
