The government at its session on Tuesday adopted proposals and amendments to a series of laws under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Interior in order to comply with the previously adopted Law on Misdemeanors, which provides for significant reductions of penalties in the area of penal policy in the Law on Road Traffic Safety. It also regulates the participation of electric scooters in traffic.

The fines will range from 15 to 250 euros as the highest limit, except for life-threatening offenses that remain the same, and the mandatory payment order will be canceled, ie all payment orders will be misdemeanor. Apart from the penal provisions, the participation of electric scooters in traffic is also regulated in order to protect those who drive them, but also to protect citizens with provisions that mean determining the place of movement of scooters, the age limit for managing this type of vehicles, as well as the obligation to use safety equipment, the government’s press service said.
