More than 130 euros fine
In addition, the latter does not want to mobilize its agents to control them. “Of course, on a scooter, you have to respect a certain speed, wear a helmet, a fluorescent vest, be specifically insured, but I’m not going to ask today’ municipal police to stop the scooters to find out if everything is in order,” the mayor, Julien Cornillet.
The City nevertheless explains that it wants to encourage its use elsewhere in the municipality, “but it needs a reasoned sharing; of public space,” the chosen one. At first, offenders will simply be reminded to the order but a fortiori, they will expose themselves to a fine of 135 euros.
