Costa Rica Begins License Checks for Bicimoto Drivers

Costa Rica's Traffic Police have started enforcing licensing and registration requirements for "bicimotos," the popular small motorized scooters. This initiative follows an official directive from June 11 aimed at ensuring safety and compliance across the country. It’s a significant move that underscores the government's commitment to road safety and regulatory oversight, especially in rapidly growing urban areas where these vehicles are frequently used. The enforcement could potentially reduce accidents and ensure that drivers are properly trained and registered.
