Climate Minister Kuldar Leis said that the ministry is discussing new rules. They want to ban children under 10 from riding scooters.
Leis said that companies can use age and identity verification. This will help children rent scooters.
The ministry is considering new rules for managing light vehicles. Currently, children under 10 are not allowed to ride on roads. Perhaps they will be banned from riding on other paths.
Leis said that more information is needed for parents. He added that a 14-year-old can operate a moped.
Leis said that children and teens are involved in accidents with light vehicles. This shows that rules need to be changed.
They are considering introducing an age limit of 10 years for scooter riders. The police will monitor compliance with the rules.
Leis said that currently proposals are being collected. Final decisions will be made later.
