"Crimea, the peninsula annexed by Russia from Ukraine in 2014, has banned riding moped scooters, quad bikes and motorcycles at night-time, saying they sound like drone attacks and suggesting children are doing it deliberately at Kyiv’s behest."

From the number of teens riding ATVs, scooters and quad bikes on my area, I'm pretty sure they don't need any encouragement.

I'm betting 10 bucks this is a lame excuse to confiscate mopeds and bikes for use in the military assault forces.

They're only banned at night, so probably not.
