Grecia, interzis la trotinete electrice sub 17 ani. România, număr mare de accidente, dar legislație blândă • Newsweek România

Greece is implementing stricter regulations on electric scooters, prohibiting their use by individuals under 17 due to rising accident rates. In Romania, while accidents involving electric scooters are increasing, legislative measures remain lenient. The new Greek law includes mandatory insurance and harsher penalties for reckless driving. In Romania, there have been 181 serious accidents this year, resulting in 27 deaths and 150 injuries, with expectations of further increases as the season progresses. Current Romanian laws restrict scooter use for minors under 14 and require helmets for those under 16, but enforcement is lacking.
