In a explosive incident, the police officers of the Wilhelmshaven/Friesland police inspection once again uncovered the dangers of e-scooters without valid insurance protection. Since the beginning of March, the officials have repeatedly come across such vehicles in public space whose insurance license plates have expired since the end of February.

On Thursday morning, the officials caught a 28-year-old driver in the Grenzstrasse, who was traveling with an e-scooter and had no valid insurance license plate. Instead, there was an expired green license plate from 2022/2023 on his vehicle. The police acted immediately and initiated criminal proceedings against the driver. It is urgently pointed out that the new insurance year has been in effect since March 1st and that the old black insurance license plates have lost their validity at the end of February 29th

These incidents illustrate the urgency of controls in road traffic, because anyone who drives with an e-scooter without the necessary insurance cover not only puts themselves in danger, but also others. The police appeal to all e-scooter users to always check their insurance cover and to renew them in good time in order to avoid unpleasant legal consequences. An attentive eye on the traffic rules is essential to ensure security in Wilhelmshaven.
