SOME QUESTIONS REGARDING USAGE AND INSURANCE OF PERSONAL LIGHT ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Contemporary life in urban areas, in addition to many positive aspects, has also brought traffic congestion and heavy pollution caused by use of means of transport. In urban areas, driving a few kilometres during a "traffic jam" takes much longer than expected. In Zagreb, there is also an enduring lack of parking slots in the city centre, as well as the lack of availability of public garages. With the expansion of roads and introduction of new pedestrian zones, as well as construction of interpolations, the number of parking slots is constantly decreasing. In addition, Governmental fiscal policy of high import duties on new cars significantly increases the cost of vehicles and directs buyers towards older used models. New mobility is achieved through personal light electric vehicles: e-scooters, Segway, hoverboards and e-skateboards.
