The Ministry of Interior (MoI) has urged e-scooters users to adhere to the safety guidelines while riding. MoI, through a post on its official X account, said following the safety measures prevents accidents and contributes to achieving security and safety standards.
“Use designated paths, avoid riding overspeed, use a reflective vest, turn on the scooter light and always wear a helmet properly,” the advisory said.
Meanwhile, Ft. Lt. Hamad Salem al-Nahab, Awareness Officer at the General Directorate of Traffic, urged the users to not other people or heavy objects that may cause an imbalance in the electric scooter. “Don’t ride in groups or close distances between other scooters. This is to avoid accidents,” the MoI official said while talking to Al Rayyan TV. He also called for adhering to the guidelines and urged not to use the pedestrian paths in public places. “Ensure the safety and readiness of the scooter, in terms of tires, chassis, brakes, and lighting in the front and back,” he said.
