RCA obligatoriu pentru trotinete. Câți români au cumpărat deja și ce amenzi substanțiale riscă cei care încă nu au făcut-o - Economica.net

Since late last year, certain electric scooters must have RCA insurance, similar to cars. This applies to scooters over 25 kg and speeds exceeding 14 km/h. Fines for lacking insurance range from 1,000 to 2,000 lei. As of December 2025, 2,500 RCA policies have been issued for scooters, primarily for individuals. Major rental companies like Bolt and Uber have not purchased insurance as their scooters do not meet the weight and speed criteria. Despite no reported damages from insured scooters, safety concerns are rising, with 1,500 accidents reported last year, including nine fatalities. Titi Aur suggests that RCA should be based on the driver's risks rather than the vehicle's, advocating for a system linked to the driver's personal identification number (CNP). This would enhance accountability and promote road safety education.
