The driver of the toy car was found to be impaired and had a suspended license, according to the Prince George Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Canada.
Honestly pretty sure it isn’t the law in Germany either. They have to get their cars certified as street legal, which wouldn’t make any sense at all if they could just use a toy car instead. Why not say your car that has broken lights is actually a toy, and thus legal, if you could evade certification that way? Doesn’t make sense.
As far as I know, if the vehicle’s top speed is not above 6km/h, there are a lot less rules in Germany, e.g. you don’t need a license and also no TÜV certification. Don’t know how fast a barbie car goes though.
No obviously. But any vehicle you use to participate in traffic with has to be certified, so that it’s safe enough for both you and others according to certain norms. So you couldn’t drive a child’s toy, which can’t be certified this way, on a public road. You can of course still use it elsewhere and doing so doesn’t require certification.
In Calgary personal e-scooters can only be used on the pathway system. Only rental e-scooters can be used on sidewalks as well as pathways. So you technically have to carry or push your personal e-scooter from your private property to the nearest pathway. Glad I went the pedal assist e-bike route.
I actually double checked that yesterday haha I was extremely surprised to see they were not legal. Basically no restrictions other than speed and where you ride them where I live.
If my driving teacher was right, as long as you don’t go on a highway you can even push a wheelbarrow on a road, since it has a wheel.
On a highway your wheelbarrow needs to be able to do 60km/h, but if you can run that fast you are good.
(I learned to drive in Germany)
Not the law in BC, where this happened e scooters are also not legal to be ridden on roads or sidewalks.

Well it’s also a fifth of the scale. I would say if it’s purchased for a child to play with it shouldn’t have to be registered.

Wait, seriously? So you can’t use an e-scooter at all for transportation around a city?

It sounds like they started a pilot project last year, and in a number of cities, it is now permitted:

Honestly, I’m still surprised, though. Huh.

In Toronto escooters are completely illegal. Unfortunately it’s not enforced because they are a menace
