Traffic police officers from Lower Silesia encountered an unusual road user. The man was traveling along one of the streets in central Wrocław... on an electric unicycle. – There would be nothing extraordinary about it if not for the location and the speed at which he was traveling – explains asp. Paweł Noga from the Press Section of the Provincial Police Headquarters.
He adds:
Under the current regulations, a user of this type of vehicle should travel on a bicycle path, and if there is no bicycle path on the sidewalk at pedestrian speed, yielding the right of way to pedestrians.
In this case, the 24-year-old's actions were recorded by an unmarked police car equipped with a video recorder.
Spokesperson:
The rider violated both regulations by traveling on the roadway at 61 km/h, although the maximum permitted speed was 20.
The meeting with the uniformed officers ended with the man being issued a PLN 1,000 fine. The 24-year-old did not explain his behavior, admitted fault, and paid the fine on the spot.
Lower Silesian police officers appeal for caution when traveling on the roads, so that each of us can safely reach our destination.
