By and large, the current amendments to the traffic regulations consolidate the rules by which kicksharing existed before their introduction. Therefore, nothing has fundamentally changed for companies yet. As for the new proposals, businesses agree with some of them, and offer alternative solutions to others.
"It is really forbidden to bolivia whatsapp resource move on the sidewalks in the city center. The compromise is simple - we need to create conditions for movement on the right edge of the roadway. To do this, we need to reduce the speed of cars to 50 km / h or lower and cancel the "no-penalty threshold" of 20 km / h. This will save the lives of everyone - motorists, pedestrians, and SIM users. And even better, equip a bike lane or bike path. To do this, deputies need to support the bike concept that is currently being developed by the transport committee," says German Moyzhes, executive director of the "Let's Go" association.
Press secretary of kick-sharing service Whoosh Denis Balakirev told "DP" that deputy Tsivilev's initiative is being discussed with the services, and this is the most constructive way. "We do not agree with all the points. We argue, we look for optimal options that will not affect the transport model of using scooters, and will help kick-sharing bring even more benefits to the city. Initiatives that are aimed at banning the rental of electric scooters raise more questions. In essence, they call for abandoning kick-sharing in favor of private SIMs," he says.
It is worth noting that kick-sharing scooters, unlike private ones, have mandatory speed and power limits, license plates, automatic speed reduction zones and travel bans. In addition, the services do not have anonymous rides, there is unconditional insurance, a system of rules and fines, service teams, the fleet undergoes regular maintenance.
The press service of kick-sharing service "Yurent" notes that they support measures that will make electric scooters safer: for example, the introduction of strict administrative liability for SIM drivers in a state of alcohol intoxication.
"We are for the introduction of compulsory motor third party liability insurance for SIM drivers. All trips with Yurent are already insured this season: there is basic insurance included in each trip, which insures the user's health during the trip, as well as extended insurance, which also covers damage to the health and property of third parties, for example, in an accident," they said there.
