Police educate scooterists
A recent increase in gas prices has spurred a rise in the number of alternative vehicles on Minnesota's roadways.
International Falls Police Sgt. Willi Kostiuk said that officers are attempting to educate people about the laws regarding motorized bikes, also known as scooters, before they begin writing citations to violators of those laws.
Kostiuk said the laws are intended to help keep people safe.
"We want to work with everybody and education is the best way," he said.
The driving of scooters, which are less than 50 cubic centimeters or less, on roadways is governed by a number of state rules. Without compliance, operators can be issued citations, explained Kostiuk.
