Perhaps today a scooter is the most ideal means of transportation in this situation. Its advantages are quite obvious. First, freedom! Secondly, a fairly high speed (by city standards). Minimum physical effort and maximum pleasure.
What type of transport is a scooter? This question remains in a "suspended" state until now. For a motor scooter with a motor volume of not higher than 50 cm cu. and a speed of not more than 60 km / h does not require a driver’s license. But with other technical characteristics, registration in the traffic police, regular inspection, the presence of a helmet, etc. are already required. Such a gradation existed until recently. But now drivers are deprived of the ability to drive any kind of scooter without a driver’s license.
Some supporters of this bill believe that in the current situation on the roads, the rights to a scooter are simply necessary.
In addition to the mandatory obtaining of permits for the management of this type of transport, the draft proposed in the Duma also implies an increase in the age limit (from 16 to 18).
Until a scooter driver license is required, the depressing situation on the roads will not change. The problem is exacerbated especially in the summer. Teenagers driving on mopeds become almost the main culprits of the accident. In America, for example, not a single teenager will drive a moped until he has completed a special training course. The rights to a scooter are issued here separately for driving on sidewalks and separately for driving on a pavement. It is absolutely true that any road user must know his rules. And it is absolutely logical that he is obliged to confirm his right to operate the machine. After all, a car is a threat to the lives of other people. Although the scooter, rather, is a danger to the driver himself. Neither the elbow pads nor the helmets can be compared with the body.
It turns out that the right to a scooter is such a compulsory concern. Do not want to take care of yourself, we will force you.
You should be more serious about scooters. In the traffic flow it is necessary to be extremely careful and careful and mature enough not only to make decisions quickly, but also to bear full responsibility for them.
Many parents perceive the desires of their children as law. But they must understand that children's scooters are far from a toy. And they are potentially dangerous for the child. Is it really worth satisfying the desire to show off his life? The child must understand that the vehicle is a big responsibility.
The rights to a moped, scooter and other motor vehicles are an indicator of a teenager's maturity and ability to drive vehicles. Today, almost anyone can drive a scooter, regardless of their mental and physical condition, which significantly reduces the level of safety on the road.
Mopeds and scooters have long passed from the category of simple light vehicles for driving on country roads to the category of a full, and sometimes the only means to get to the place of study or work. They are not afraid of rush hours, when cities are in traffic jams and congestion, they easily sweep past them, astonishing those around with their mobility.
