      IDK what country you are from? But most European countries already enforce this for other types of motorized small transport like mopeds. Here (Denmark) a moped requires a license.
      We also have speed restrictions on e-bikes, here it’s 25 km/h that is also enforced.

      I was never into it, but my brother has many stories of escaping police on his moped that could go twice as fast as the legal limit! 😋

        Finland; our police force is already really overextended and generally doesn’t give a shit about small stuff like this.

          It’s the same thing here, but still if there’s an accident, the parents will be fined and the scooter confiscated.
          There are also periods that are less hectic than others, and then police will go for the lesser stuff.
          Most police forces also have systems, where they allocate time to focus on things that are not everyday priority.

          My guess is that Finish police is as well organized as most other European countries.
          Obviously this isn’t a high priority, but that doesn’t mean the police will just let it pass if they spot a blatant violation.

            Yeah, but that’s post hoc enforcement

      Yes how would the police ever do their job. This right here is the excuse why they shouldn’t have a budget for armored vehicles tactical body armor and assault rifles. They can’t even enforce a scooter ticket. Acab.
