Do I need a scooter?

In 2010, the faction "United Russia" plannedproject for the introduction of rights of the category "M" for scooters. The question is whether the right to a scooter is necessary, then received an unequivocally positive answer. It was based on a large number of road accidents involving drivers of this vehicle. Also the scooter was not subject to state registration, as a result of which its drivers did not bear any responsibility for violations on the carriageway. But the amendments were rejected.

In 2012, a deputy of the "Fair Russia" A. Belyakov proposed another bill. Its essence lies in the fact that vehicles with engine capacity up to 50 cubic meters. see managed persons over 18 years of age who have the rights of a separate category, issued for driving scooters and mopeds. Belyakov explains that the drivers of these vehicles are often people aged 13-14 years who do not have driving skills and are not familiar with the rules of the road, which leads to increased accidents on the roads.

But the deputy of the faction "United Russia" Lysakovis tuned to the next deviation of these corrections. He argues this by the fact that for driving in the country and in the neighborhood people should not bother with unnecessary problems in obtaining the rights to drive.

At the moment, the scooter can be managed by people aged 16 and younger who do not have a driving license.
