Padova, the Municipality organizes the driving school for those who go with a scooter

Three days of training on the use of the vehicle dedicated to the youngest. The Councillor for Mobility: "There are specific rules that you need to know in order to use it"

Learn to drive the electric scooter to use it safely and navigate city traffic. The sharing scooter rental service is available in Padua since September and is enjoying some success. With the aim of promoting the correct behaviour to be adopted for the safe use of two-wheelers, the municipality has organized three theoretical and practical training sessions aimed at younger people.

Awareness raising

The training days are aimed at making users aware of the safety in driving the scooter, providing information on national legislation and the specific provisions of the city of Padua, developing some "technical" skills that are the basis of driving scooters. The training is carried out in collaboration with the operators Emtransit (Dott) and Bitmobility and with the local police, as guarantor of road education.

Young people

"These vehicles are highly appreciated, in particular by young people, and we are registering very high numbers - explained Ragona, the councillor for mobility - As we said from the beginning it is important to work on the training of girls and boys in particular because they are however, a new vehicle that has precise rules that you need to know in order to use it at its best and above all in a safe way. We have already produced informative material with the main rules, but testing "in the field" is also essential. These training days will be held in popular places and the last on the occasion of sustainable Sunday, where there is always a huge number of people who reach the center with bicycles and scooters ".
