[사회]The first day of the deregulation of electric skates …

[앵커]

As of today, simplified regulations have been applied related to electric scooters that can be used by teenagers and can also ride on bicycle roads.

As was?

Reporter Jung Hyun-woo was accompanied by the police crackdown.

On the first day the standards for riding electric scooters were relaxed, the police cracked down.

I recommend wearing it to people who don’t wear a helmet.

[서울 동대문경찰서 교통안전계 직원 : 처벌 규정은 없는데 선생님께 해당하는 킥보드 장비를 착용하셔야 해요. 보호장구를….]

Drivers walking on the sidewalk are restrained.

[서울 동대문경찰서 교통안전계 직원 : 원래 인도 주행이 안 되세요. 안 되는 상태에서 횡단 보도를 따라서 오셨는데….]

With the revised Road Traffic Law, electric scooters can now be used in bike lanes.

The license restrictions have also disappeared, so anyone over the age of 13 can drive.

If you do not wear a helmet, you will not be charged a fine.

Two or more people must not ride together on the same electric skateboard, and when crossing a crosswalk, they must get off and drag.

Even before the law was amended, there were several fatal electric skateboard accidents, and as regulations were relaxed, the fear of accidents increased.

Both drivers and citizens are anxious.

[주경 / 전동킥보드 이용자 : 차도에 그냥 써놨어요, 자전거 통행 가능이라고. 차도 많다 보니까 위험해서 오히려 인도로 다닐 수밖에….] [김시내 / 서울 신림동 : (전동킥보드가) 운전할 때도 보고 골목에서 나올 때도 많고, 갑자기 나타나면 놀라죠. 오토바이나 이런 것들은 소리가 있는데 소리가 없으니까….]

As controversy grew over a series of accidents, the National Assembly belatedly reviewed the bill, but it would take more than four months for the law to tighten the regulations to be implemented.

Meanwhile, each individual must be equipped with safety equipment and slow down to drive safely.

[김필수 / 대림대학교 자동차공학과 교수 : 개인형 이동장치 전용 관리 총괄 관리법을 만들어야 하는데 그런 부분을 도외시하고 있는 건 문제점이 있어요. 특히 인도 위에 열 대면 열 대가 올라오는데 소홀하게 다루고 있다는 것도….]

For the time being, the police plan to continue warning and orientation activities on not wearing a helmet, and to strengthen the crackdown on alcohol consumption and skateboarding.
