Traffic enforcement of electric mobility in Poland
Overview
Recent reports from Poland highlight various traffic enforcement actions involving small electric vehicles and personal mobility devices.
In Świnoujście, a disabled resident was fined 1,500 PLN for operating an electric three-wheeler on a pedestrian crossing. Although the vehicle is used for independent mobility, police classified it as an L2e category moped, leading to a fine under the Code of Offenses. This incident has prompted discussions regarding the proportionality of penalties for low-speed mobility aids.
In separate incidents, police in Dąbrowa Górnicza and Ciechocinek issued fines to individuals operating electric scooters while intoxicated. One driver, who collided with a parked vehicle, faced a 4,500 PLN fine after testing at 3 per mille of alcohol. Authorities continue to remind the public that electric scooter users are legally considered road participants and must comply with all traffic regulations.
