Nearly 3,000 motorcycle, e-scooter riders caught without helmets

Greek police reported that nearly 3,000 motorcycle, e-scooter, and all-terrain vehicle riders were caught without helmets during a recent seven-day enforcement period. The majority of those fined were motorcyclists, though e-scooters accounted for almost one-third of the cases. Fines ranged from €30 for e-scooter riders to €350 for motorcyclists. The crackdown, part of broader efforts to improve road safety, saw the highest number of violations in Athens and the Aegean/Ionian regions, while western Macedonia had the lowest rate. The increased enforcement follows new legislation introduced by the conservative government to penalize traffic violations more severely.
