Coinciding with “back to school” on Monday, Torrevieja Local Police are launching an extensive campaign of awareness and sanctioning for electric scooters in the town.
It is worth remembering in relation to the school run that in Torrevieja, the minimum age for using one of these scooters is 16.
General laws also apply, such as the vehicles being for single use, not carrying passengers, can not be capable of going over 25 kilometres an hour, the use of headphones and mobile phones is prohibited, and ALL other traffic rules apply.
Although not mandatory in Torrevieja, the wearing of a helmet is always advisable.
The police have once again taken to social media to warn users of these vehicles of their intention, and shared the informative leaflet which also details some of the fines faced for illegal use.
