Two students on electric motorcycles rode against traffic near Unilavras and narrowly avoided being knocked down by a driver. The report comes from listener André Luiz, read on the Revista da Cidade program this Friday (13th) on Rádio Cultura: "Yesterday two students came in the wrong way here, I nearly knocked one of them down".
"These electric motorcycles are very dangerous for teenagers", the listener wrote. According to him, the vehicles, known as self-propelled vehicles (autopropelidos), appear quickly and on the wrong side of the streets around the institution.
The host called on parents to take responsibility. "Sometimes a father wants to raise his son to be independent, but he is handing him an instrument without the necessary instruction", he said. Whoever lets their child use an electric motorcycle must make sure the child follows traffic rules, he added.
According to the program, Lavras traffic agents are waiting for regulation of this type of vehicle, which could even bring IPVA (vehicle tax) charges on self-propelled vehicles.
