The Romanian Senate has adopted a bill mandating the use of helmets for all users of electric scooters and bicycles on public roads, regardless of age. This legislation aims to reduce the risk of head injuries in accidents involving these vehicles. Currently, helmet use is only required for those under 16 years old. The bill must still be approved by the Chamber of Deputies and signed by the President before becoming law. Proponents argue that the measure is necessary due to the vulnerability of users in traffic and the potential for serious injuries, even on short trips. The existing regulations remain in effect until the new law is enacted.
