Enhancing road safety knowledge among novice electric scooter users

Abstract

This article discusses the growing popularity of electric scooters among adolescents, particularly those aged 14 to 16, and the concerns raised regarding their adherence to road traffic regulations. The absence of a formal mechanism for evaluating their knowledge of these regulations, such as a mandatory examination, presents a significant challenge in ensuring safe road usage. This study investigates potential strategies and interventions that can promote road safety knowledge and compliance among adolescent electric scooter users.
