A dizzying scene of four students riding on a single electric scooter was revealed in a video.

On the 16th, the YouTube channel 'Han Moon-cheol TV' uploaded a dashcam video titled "How many people are riding the electric scooter? I've never seen such a wrong-way electric scooter before."

According to the video tipster, around 2 p.m. on the 9th, students riding electric scooters were captured speeding through the city on a road in Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do.

After watching the video, lawyer Han Moon-cheol asked viewers, "How many do you think were riding?" Most viewers who saw the scooter passing by quickly answered that there were probably 2 to 3 people on it.

However, in reality, there were four people riding on the single-rider scooter. The student at the very front was sitting while holding the scooter handlebar, and the other three were holding onto each other and clinging to the scooter. The students rode the scooter against traffic in this state.

Notably, none of them were wearing helmets. If they had encountered an oncoming vehicle, it could have led to a serious accident in this extremely dangerous situation.

Regarding this, lawyer Han Moon-cheol warned, "How many faces are there? I've never seen such a sight before. The four are a community of fate. If an accident happens, it will be a big problem for all of them. None of the four can jump off."

Meanwhile, although the risk of electric scooter accidents is gradually increasing, institutional measures related to this are insufficient. Under current law, a license must be registered to ride an electric scooter, but since companies do not actively manage this and there is no legal obligation, it is practically possible to use scooters without license registration.

Last year, there were 2,300 electric scooter-related accidents nationwide, of which 1,096 were caused by drivers under the age of 20, accounting for about half of the total.

The National Assembly submitted an amendment to the Road Traffic Act last month to mandate license verification for scooter platform companies. In fact, in Paris, France, as social issues surrounding electric scooters grew, the electric scooter rental service was suspended starting last September.
