Police in Ptuj stopped three minor scooter drivers on Friday after suspecting their vehicles were improperly modified. Technical inspections revealed significant violations, with one scooter rated for a maximum speed of 25 km/h reaching nearly 100 km/h during testing. Another scooter exceeded its limit by reaching 43.8 km/h, while a third had so many technical defects that speed measurements could not be performed. Authorities seized all three scooters and filed criminal complaints against the minors for traffic law violations. Police are currently investigating the potential legal liability of the parents regarding the modifications. Officials warned that such alterations significantly increase speeds and alter handling characteristics, posing serious safety risks to both young drivers and other road users.
