Polish police fine electric‑scooter riders in Koszalin and Jelenia Góra
In Koszalin, a collision between a Dacia car and a 14‑year‑old riding an electric scooter resulted in only minor abrasions. Police fined the driver 1,500 zł and added 12 penalty points for failing to yield, and fined the teen’s mother 1,000 zł for allowing an unqualified minor to ride.
In Jelenia Góra, police stopped a person riding an electric scooter while intoxicated. A breath test confirmed alcohol above the legal limit, leading to a fine and possible court referral. Authorities highlighted the danger of operating scooters under the influence and urged continuous public awareness of road safety.
Both incidents reflect heightened police enforcement of traffic regulations for electric‑scooter users in Poland.
