The 10km/h footpath speed limit is scrapped, reverting to the old 12km/h rule. Starting July 1, cops get new powers: random breath tests, seizure and destruction of modified scooters, and harsher penalties for speeding, helmetless riding, or illegal routes. Officials say the focus is on dangerous, modified devices — not everyday riders — as the state navigates a tricky balance between safety and freedom.
