Segways allowed by new Dutch law

Dutch are allowed from July 1st to enter traffic on a Segway. They can drive maximum 30 kilometres per hour on the two-wheeled, self-balancing scooters. Furthermore they must clearly be identified and have the same insurance obligations as other vehicles.

This was announced by ministers Ernst Hirsch Ballin (justice) and Camiel Eurlings (traffic) on Friday in a letter to the Government. A majority in parliament insisted already long time ago to approved new rules that will allow Segway in traffic, but they are fighting heavy resistance from the government.
