Motorcyclist falls easily: E-scooter driver ignores traffic rules!
On Monday, July 21, 2025, a remarkable incident occurred in Wilhelmshaven around 4:20 p.m., which resulted in minor injuries for a 60-year-old motorcyclist. At the intersection of Peterstrasse and Virchowstrasse, a busy area in the city center, a dangerous situation occurred when an 18-year-old e-scooter rider was riding on the sidewalk.
The motorcyclist was driving west on Peterstrasse when, according to several witness statements, he saw a green light at the traffic light. Meanwhile, the e-scooter driver crossed Peterstrasse using the pedestrian crossing provided for this purpose. To avoid a possible collision, the motorcyclist initiated emergency braking, but this led to his fall. Fortunately, there was no direct collision between the two drivers.

The fall resulted in minor injuries to the motorcyclist. In a statement, the police reminded that e-scooter drivers must comply with traffic rules. Driving on sidewalks and ignoring traffic lights can have serious consequences.
