E-scooter without insurance: Police proceeds against the driver!

E-scooter without insurance: Police proceeds against the driver!

In Wilhelmshaven, the police again cause a stir in connection with e-scooters who are traveling without the necessary insurance cover. This is part of an ongoing control that has been taking place since the beginning of March. The officers of the Wilhelmshaven/Friesland police inspection have found that many e-scooters in public space are driving with no longer valid insurance license plates. Especially since the cut -off date on March 1, when the new insurance year began, the old black license plates, which were valid until February 29, are no longer lawful.

As reported, the police officers also cited an e-scooter on Monday afternoon in Ebertstrasse, which drove illegally on the sidewalk, with two people. During the following check, it turned out that the 30-year-old driver and his 33-year accompaniment did not have a valid insurance cover for the vehicle. The presence of a green license plate from the insurance year 2022/2023, which is no longer permitted for this template, was particularly striking.

Legal consequences of the controls

The police then initiated criminal proceedings against the driver. These findings not only give concerns about traffic safety, but also illustrate the need to comply with legal regulations for e-scooter users. It is extremely important that the drivers find out about the status of their vehicles and the applicable insurance regulations in order to avoid legal consequences.

The ongoing checks that aim at increased control of e-scooters aim to optimize traffic safety and prevent legal violations. The use of e-scooters is becoming increasingly popular, but lack of knowledge about compulsory insurance and regulations often leads to serious problems for users.

In this matter, the police point out that a valid insurance is not only a legal requirement, but also protects the driver and other road users. The lack of protection brings with it increased risks that affect both legal and security aspects.

The decree and the new regulations are to be communicated clearly in order to clarify the drivers about the need for insurance cover. Therefore, e-scooter users are advised to regularly check their vehicles for the validity of their insurance license plates. The topic will continue to be followed carefully to ensure safety in road traffic.
