Over 10,000 E-Scooter Fines In First 8 Months Of 2023

Nov 30 2023

In the first eight months of this year, e-scooter riders faced over 10,000 contraventions, primarily attributed to inadequate parking and obstructing pavements.

Out of the total 10,120 infractions recorded from January to August, 4,811 were related to improper parking, while 5,158 were for obstructing pavements. Notably, 94 fines were imposed for offenses such as dangerous driving, mobile phone usage, overloading, and disregard for traffic signs, with an additional 61 contraventions linked to licensing matters.

This information, revealed in response to queries from PN MP Graziella Attard Previ to Home Affairs Minister Byron Camilleri, was presented in parliament. The data was compiled from various entities under the ministry, including the law enforcement system agency and the police, as confirmed by a ministry spokesperson.

The surge in penalties was most pronounced between June and August, with Sliema receiving the highest number of fines, followed by St Paul’s Bay, St Julian’s, and Gżira.

However, the parliamentary inquiry did not delineate the distribution of contraventions between rental e-scooter riders and private e-scooter users.

In response to growing concerns, the government recently declared a prohibition on rental e-scooters from March 1, citing misuse that overshadowed their benefits, as stated by Transport Minister Aaron Farrugia.

Francesca Opens Up About Experience In Abusive Relationship

Nov 30 2023

Interviewed on Popolin, guest Francesca opened up about how it felt to be in, and eventually leave, an abusive relationship.

Francesca explained how being in such a relationship made her feel like her needs were not important, how every wrong thing that happened was her fault and that she could not achieve what she dreamed of.

She says that it is very difficult to leave such a relationship because the victim is being convinced that they deserve the treatment.

Not even losing a baby was enough, at the time, to make her realise that she had to move on and find the courage to stand up for her own life.

Having found the courage to leave, she now urges people to not forget about themselves in these relationships and to seek help immediately.
