In addition, the preventive efforts of aggregators to reduce injuries to pedestrians and scooter riders may not coincide with the measures of the State Duma deputies, who began discussing the bill on scooters only at the end of February and, it seems, will not have time to regulate the industry by the beginning of the scooter season. But when the law is passed, it is unlikely to be too complimentary to scooter riders, because, according to the Ministry albania whatsapp number database of Internal Affairs, the number of accidents involving "personal mobility vehicles" has tripled over the past year. The people's representatives may take into account the wave of indignation in social networks caused by a number of incidents when careless riders injured pedestrians, including children and the elderly.
Scooter and bicycle rental companies are trying to anticipate the future law to prevent injuries and remove their services from the scandalous chronicle. For example, they are testing a weight detection function to prevent two people from riding a scooter. The application is supposed to remember the average weight of the user, and if this figure jumps sharply, the software, suspecting that there are two people on the scooter, will block the ride.
Whoosh reported to ComNews, user identification is needed in case something happens to the client, his property or a third party.
"It is needed so that we can connect to this story, solve the problem together with the traffic police, see the route of the person, his speed - fully control the process and understand why the incident occurred. There are cases when a registered user hands over control of the scooter to someone else, for example, older brothers - to younger ones. When such facts are revealed, we block the account forever, and this person can no longer register in the service," the press service of the Whoosh service reported.
A spokesperson for Whoosh added that the company is working on user ratings.
"We are currently thinking about the criteria by which this rating will be formed. Our goal is not to block users, but to teach them how to drive correctly and, if someone has committed a not very serious violation of the rules, to remind them of the rules - to give hints or send push notifications," the Whoosh press service clarified.
The kick-sharing service "Yurent" presented an improved version of the Ninebot S90L scooter in the new season, equipped for the first time in Russia with turn signals on the steering wheel and rear fender. The model is also equipped with a two-person riding sensor and new brakes. The company expects that the improvements will reduce the number of accidents, the company's press service told ComNews.
"This season, we have approved the "Year of Safe Scooter" strategy. It includes several projects. By the beginning of the season, we launched a test on knowledge of traffic rules directly in the Yurent app. Users will be asked 10 questions about parking rules, riding on sidewalks and roadways. For now, the test is voluntary, but during the season it will become mandatory for new users. Large numbers will appear on our scooters. City cameras can already detect riding in pairs, as well as on sidewalks in places where there are bike paths, crossing a pedestrian crossing without dismounting, and parking in the wrong place. Automatic recording of violations and fines will increase the responsibility of users and awareness that when riding electric scooters, it is necessary to comply with traffic rules," a representative of the Yurent press service shared the plans.
