CroatiaThe article reports on a police crackdown on electric scooters in Croatia during July, citing several serious accidents involving young riders. In Metković, a 14-year-old suffered fatal injuries after losing control of his scooter, while another 30-year-old sustained severe head injuries in Piran. The police conducted multiple enforcement actions, temporarily or permanently seizing at least 44 electric scooters nationwide due to violations of traffic laws and safety regulations. The majority of seized vehicles were in the Split-Dalmatia County region, where officers targeted areas with high pedestrian traffic. In Zagreb, one scooter was permanently confiscated after the rider paid a fine and waived his right to appeal. The article explains that unregistered 'non-categorized' scooters—those exceeding speed limits, having built-in seats, or engines stronger than allowed—are banned from public roads and sidewalks. Police argue these vehicles pose significant risks and must be removed to prevent further incidents.
