Bolt și Lime avertizează: trotinetele de închiriat ar putea să dispară din București dacă Parlamentul impune casca obligatorie la orice vârstă. Ei propun lecții de circulație în școli • Știri București

A legislative proposal in Romania aims to mandate helmet use for all electric scooter riders, regardless of age, while current bicycle helmet laws remain unchanged. The initiative, backed by nearly 50 parliamentarians, is under discussion in the Senate, with the final decision resting with the Chamber of Deputies. The government supports the proposal but requests modifications and an impact study. Opponents argue that if safety is a concern, similar rules should apply to bicycles. They also highlight logistical challenges and the potential shift to private scooters, which lack safety features. Statistics show a low incident rate for rented scooters, while advocates call for improved road education and dedicated lanes. If passed, the law would require helmets for all scooter users on public roads, while maintaining existing rules for bicycles.
