The Local Police of Alcalá de Henares have increased surveillance on Personal Mobility Vehicles (PMVs) after noting a high degree of non-compliance during a campaign conducted between June 8 and 21. The primary objective of these actions is to enhance road safety and protect all public road users.
During the inspection period, 50 PMVs were examined, yielding results that highlight the need for increased supervision of these vehicles. Only one of the inspected PMVs met all the requirements set forth by current regulations.
The most common infractions detected included the lack of registration in the National Vehicle Registry, with 25 citations, and the absence of mandatory insurance, which resulted in 16 citations. Additionally, other infractions were recorded, such as riding in pedestrian zones, exceeding occupancy limits, and unauthorized technical modifications to the vehicles.
The Local Police have announced they will continue implementing these types of control campaigns to further improve road safety and promote compliance with the specific regulations for PMVs.
The police institution urges individual responsibility from riders, reminding them of their obligations, rights, and the permitted areas for circulation.
“"Respectful riding towards pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers of other vehicles is key to achieving truly safe and efficient urban mobility for everyone."
