Coming this October all scooters and mopeds in Maryland must have titles and be insured.
In addition, drivers and passengers will have to wear helmet and eye protection.
And scooter drivers must also carry proof of insurance.
They are already required to have a valid driver’s license.
Ocean City police told the Salisbury Daily Times that there are just too many scooter crashes often coming from those who are unfamiliar with how to drive.
Three years ago the resort passed a law that required helmets for drivers of rental scooters but not for private scooters.
