A 14‑year‑old from Piaseczno was caught riding an electric scooter without a valid bike card while carrying more than half a promille of alcohol, a case now to be heard in the local family court.
Teen Rides E‑Scooter Without Permission
A 14‑year‑old was stopped on Główna Street in Piaseczno by a patrol officer while riding an electric scooter, and it was discovered that the teenager had no legal permit to operate the device.
Missing Bike Card
Polish law requires a minor to possess a “karta rowerowa” – a bike card – to steer such scooters. The 14‑year‑old could not present the card, having failed the necessary exams.
Alcohol Detected
The officer called for the guardian and administered an alcohol test, which returned a result of over 0.5 promille, confirming the minor’s intoxication.
Legal Consequences
The matter will be taken up by the Piaseczno family court, which will assess the degree of the teen’s misconduct and decide on possible disciplinary measures.
Parental Responsibility
Officials urge parents to supervise how their children spend free time, whom they associate with, and what activities they pursue outside the home, emphasizing that electric scooters are not toys but regulated vehicles requiring responsible conduct.
