“It’s crazy, these young people not wearing crash helmets, going full speed with no regard for other users on the road. But I’m here to try and solve this problem. There will be more controls, yes, but we are taking a different approach to it with new methods. It will be combined with more campaigns and awareness programmes in the schools. When you consider the ratio of fatalities to the population number, eight deaths (five from two-wheelers) is quite a graphic statistic.” https://www.thedailyherald.sx/islan...efts-top-priorities-for-commandant-basso

I wish him luck.

I really don't think drinking has much to do with it and this story is from the French side, which already was 18. The problem seems to be that there are no rules for these scooters, as far as they are concerned. They have no drivers' licenses, no insurance, no helmets, often no tags, doing wheelies through the middle of traffic and there is no enforcement of any laws. And if you look at crime reports, so often the perpetrator rides away on a scooter.

You got it! A MAJOR crackdown would do more than any education programs. Word of mouth of STRICT enforcement would be the best thing to happen and is cheap.
