This Sunday, the father of young Iris, who died in Lyon this summer on an electric scooter with her boyfriend, both mowed down by an ambulance, calls in the Sunday newspaper a clear and uniform framework for this practice throughout the national territory.
“On the one hand there is the Highway Code and a decree concerning new means of mobility, supposed to apply to all, notes the Lyonnais in the JDD. On the other hand, local rules negotiated with operators which can be relaxed or tightened at any time. Thus in Lyon, the town hall recently banned the use of self-service scooters for minors. Other cities don’t. However, security is not intended to be privatized or regionalized! It’s absurd. »
According to JDDa study estimates that the number of annual injuries in Lyon in accidents has been multiplied by 7.3 since the commissioning of self-service electric scooters in the Rhône prefecture.
