Grudziądz Doctors' Plea: Mandatory Helmets for E-Scooter and E-Bike Riders

Grudziądz Doctors Push for Mandatory Helmets on E-Scooters and E-Bikes Following Teen's Accident A campaign urging for mandatory helmet use on electric scooters and e-bikes has been launched by doctors at a hospital in Grudziądz, Poland. The initiative, titled "Ride with Your Head," follows a serious accident involving a 17-year-old girl who suffered injuries after a fall from an e-scooter. Doctors are submitting a petition to relevant ministries this week, hoping to influence changes in national legislation. "Helmets won't replace common sense, but they significantly reduce the negative consequences of accidents," stated Dr. Maciej Bieliński, adding that the petition is directly motivated by the recent incident. The campaign highlights the growing concerns about safety in the increasingly popular use of e-scooters and e-bikes. The doctors' petition is expected to spark a wider discussion on road safety regulations and the need for protective gear for all users of these vehicles.
