昨日国会宣布,电动滑板车今日(11月5日)起,被禁止在所有人行道使用,受影响者不只是青少年,还包括靠着这代步工具工作的人士,包括送餐快递员。

交通部兼卫生部高级政务部长蓝彬明医生昨日在国会上,作出上述宣布时指出,尽管过去两年当局已积极推广个人代步工具的安全使用,惟仍有鲁莽使用者,涉及电动滑板车的事故仍持续攀升。

他指出,陆路交通管理局会给予人们两个月的宽限期,对违例在人行道使用电动滑板车者发出警告,而从明年1月1日起,违例者将会被罚款最多2000元或坐牢三个月,或两者兼施。

随着有关的宣布,GrabFood快递服务也发出通告,表示其使用电动踏板车的快递伙伴也受到法令限制,大部分时间必须以脚代步,以后的送货时间或会有所延长。

该公司希望用户们,面对较长时间等待,以及订单或许会被取消的情况时,能够体谅和包容,因为快递伙伴或会面对一些地点徒步无法抵达的窘境。

惟,该公司表示,他们仍然会尽力达到快递标准时限,并且积极帮助受影响的传递员更换他们的交通工具。
