It is illegal to drive a motorcycle, scooter or moped until the age of 16. A moped or pit bike bought by a child is not a toy, but a transport of increased danger. For driving without a license, a teenager faces administrative liability, and parents face a fine under Art. 5.35 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. If an accident leads to serious consequences, parents may be criminally liable. The insurance company will also refuse payments if the driver was a minor without a license.

Adults are asked not to buy motor vehicles for children, not to allow “just try” and not to pass by if someone else’s child sat behind the wheel. The price of carelessness is children's lives.
