"The measures taken are insufficient, you have all seen the statistics. Not only do we have over a thousand incidents, but also at least 13 fatalities due to the use of SIM. And the most important thing is that these are incomplete statistics, because not all incidents are recorded. I am not against scooters, the question is how to separate the flows. Of course, we need infrastructure. In the spring, I suggested driving the scooters that are scattered around the city to paid parking lots. Charge each person half the cost of a motorcycle for parking. Roughly speaking, this is 1.5 billion rubles a year. Build infrastructure bolivia whatsapp resource with this money, separate paths, separate flows, discipline. Everything can be solved gradually. But the issues are not being resolved, money is not being invested. Two or three years ago, kick-sharing companies promised to invest in infrastructure. Have they done anything? No. Scooters are still scattered around the city. Therefore, an attempt at systematic work is not working here. Kicksharing companies perked up this summer when there was an incident and the Investigative Committee got involved. When it smelled like criminal cases, they stirred a little. Business does not understand calm language! The existing regulation does not work. Therefore, our position did not appear out of nowhere, - said Pavel Itkin, Vice-Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg
, should be banned in the center of St. Petersburg. Or the liability should be increased many times over. In a number of cases, as follows from court decisions, the guilty parties directly admit their knowledge of the violation of the rules (for example, riding in pairs), but, understanding the insignificance of the fine, they consciously do it. In addition, even with the increase in liability, the control system remains undeveloped. It is much easier to leave the scene of an accident on a scooter: registration numbers have only been proposed to be introduced so far," suggests Elena Mende, partner at the Smolenka, 33 Bar Association.
"Our rules are the most liberal. Before their introduction, the speed limit set in the agreement with kick-sharing companies was 15 km/h, we increased it to 25 km/h. Therefore, it is incorrect to talk about tightening: not a single strict ban has been introduced yet. In December, we contacted the Ministry of Transport from the Transport Commission, when we first saw the draft amendments to the traffic rules. And we received a response in March that they would change something based on statistics. In July, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sounded the alarm about mass violations in all respects. Therefore, now the conversation is being conducted in a specific manner, based on precise data. The new rules will apply to everyone, but it is clear that the main market is occupied by kick-sharing scooters, which have displaced personal ones. We have 32 thousand kick-sharing scooters and about 15 thousand personal ones," said Alexey Tsivilev, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Legislative Assembly on Transport and Development of Transport Infrastructure.
