The driver of the electric scooter injected 0.83 mg/l of alcohol and was more likely to be injured.

On Friday around 20:30, a traffic accident occurred on Tbilisi Street in Ljubljana involving an electric scooter rider. According to data collected by the Ljubljana Police Authority, the incident was caused by inappropriate speed and driving under the influence of alcohol. The rider, who was a novice driver, sustained more severe injuries in the collision. A breath test revealed an alcohol concentration of 0.83 milligrams per liter of exhaled air. The police are now conducting a violation procedure against the rider. Authorities reiterated that alcohol does not belong in traffic—whether behind the wheel, on a bike, or on an electric scooter. Alcohol impairs safe driving, increases reaction time, worsens judgment, and raises the risk of dangerous actions. The police warned all road users that riding an electric scooter or bicycle under the influence of alcohol can cause serious injuries and endanger others. They advised those planning to consume alcohol to choose a sober driver, public transportation, taxi services, or other options that do not compromise safety.
