The State Duma Committee on Transport recommended rejecting the bill on registration of personal mobility equipment (SIM) and obtaining state notes for such equipment. In this respect reports “Kommersant”.
First Deputy Chairman of the Transport Committee Pavel Fedyaev said that the issue is current but cannot be solved by a single bill. According to him, in 2023 the government approved a “road map” for the regulatory regulation of SIM, within the framework of which various regulations will be amended, including the Code of Administrative Offenses and the Traffic Rules. He called for waiting for the development of this document and not making individual changes.
According to this developed Individuals and legal entities will be required to enter SIM-related information into a special federal registry, according to the document last year. The system will be similar to registering a vehicle in the traffic police, and the procedure for entering the registry will become a state service. Innovations are needed to control the electric scooters owned by individuals.
The Ministry of Transport considers it necessary to include in traffic rules the concepts of “person using a SIM card for movement”, “in front of a pedestrian” and “overtaking a pedestrian” (on a SIM card). As conditions under which these maneuvers can be carried out. It is also planned to regulate the responsibilities of SIM owners involved in accidents, ban the use of SIMs while drunk, introduce the obligation to take a drunkenness test and comply with traffic police stop requirements.
