ELECTRIC SCOOTER 101 What You Need to Know
Electric scooters are a fabulous and simple mode of transportation for getting from point A to point B. Since electric scooters have gained popularity in Florida, accidents involving them have increased. If you currently own a scooter, plan to own a scooter, or even if you don’t own one but still drive your vehicle on the roadways, it is important that you understand the rules scooter operators need to follow. Scooter riders must operate their scooter in a safe manner that is in compliance with all of the rules of the road and sidewalk. These vehicles can reach speeds of 20 mph and thus must obey all of the same rules of the road as other motor vehicle operators. After all, they share the road with automobiles, trucks, and bicyclists. And yes, you guessed it: To legally operate a scooter in the state of Florida, one must have a valid driver’s license. A helmet must be worn at all times when riding an electric scooter, and if the police stop you and find you in violation of this, you may be fined. Many cities also limit the number of people allowed to ride on a scooter to only one person. When it comes to scooter accidents, determining liability can be difficult. It can be tough to get the compensation you deserve if you are involved in a crash on a scooter and you are not at fault. Don’t forget that sometimes the scooter company or the city can even be the party at fault in the event of an accident. Road conditions and scooter mechanics play a large role in the safe and optimal operation of an electric scooter.
