According to Italian media reports, local police in La Spezia, Italy recently fined the driver of a modified electric Skateboard (e-Skateboard) 5,000 euros for speeding.

According to the report, the electric skateboard was found by the traffic police to have reached a speed of 60 km/h.

The police stopped it for inspection and found that the scooter had been modified.

According to a note from the traffic police, the vehicle was going over 45 kilometers per hour.

According to Italian highway regulations, scooters that reach 45 km/h are mopeds that can be driven on highways.

Mopeds require a license, a permit to drive, a driver's license, a helmet, and third-party liability insurance.

The electric skateboarder, however, was not licensed, did not have a permit to drive, did not have a motorcycle license, did not wear a helmet, and did not have insurance.

Therefore, in summary, the driver was executed with a maximum penalty of 5,000 euros, and the vehicle was confiscated.

In addition, according to the local police in La Spezia, 50 scooterists and bicyclists have been punished for dangerous driving behavior since the beginning of this year.

The most common problems are running red lights and driving on sidewalks, and most of these violators have been fined 50-400 euros, while illegal modification of scooters is now a common phenomenon throughout Italy.

Skateboarding is a fun and exciting sport that requires skill and practice.

However, it can also be dangerous and lead to serious injuries if proper safety precautions are not taken.

Here are some safety matters that skateboarders should note to minimize the risk of injury while skateboarding:

1. Wear protective gear

Always wear a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards to protect yourself from injuries in case of a fall.

2. Avoid crowded areas

Skateboarding in crowded areas such as sidewalks or busy streets can be dangerous.

Try to stick to designated skate parks or quieter areas to avoid collisions with pedestrians or vehicles.

3. Be aware of your surroundings

Keep a lookout for obstacles such as rocks, cracks, or uneven surfaces that could cause you to lose control. Also, be aware of other skateboarders or bikers who may be sharing the same space as you.

4. Use hand signals

When skateboarding with others, use hand signals to communicate your intentions, such as stopping or turning.

Remember, safety should always be a top priority when skateboarding.
