Péter Magyar: The government would significantly tighten the use of electric scooters

The Hungarian government proposes stricter regulations for electric scooters following extensive consultations. Prime Minister Péter Magyar announced that details will be shared soon. The Ministry of Transport previously released a survey on improving traffic safety, gathering over 340,000 responses. The minister aims to enhance penalties for speeding, focusing on deterrence rather than automatic imprisonment. Discussions include confiscating vehicles from repeat offenders. New rules could be implemented as early as January, targeting severe speeding and related accidents more rigorously.
