Oktoberfest against e-scooters.

German people love driving while being drunk. Be always careful when walking around. Especially at Oktoberfest. Politicians in Munich are calling for e-scooters to be restricted during Oktoberfest amid a rise in drunk riding of the newly-legal vehicles .

Use of electric scooters was legalised in June across Germany in the hope that they may help reduce the carbon footprint of commuter-heavy urban areas.

But since then Munich police have caught and reprimanded 418 people for operating them under the influence of alcohol. The slimline vehicles carry the same drink-drive limits as cars.

For Oktoberfest, which starts next month, politicians are calling for further restrictions on e-scooters’ access to the main festival site on Theresienwiese square and surroundings.
