Senatul a votat cursul de legislație rutieră obligatoriu pentru trotinete

A new law requires individuals without a driving license to complete a traffic legislation course to ride electric scooters on public roads. The minimum age remains 14, and those with valid driving licenses are exempt. The course will cover traffic rules and safe conduct for electric scooters and bicycles. Minors need parental consent to enroll. If passed by the Chamber of Deputies, the government will have 90 days to establish course details. The law aims to address rising accidents involving untrained riders, with reports of fatalities and serious injuries. The safety of scooter riders has been a concern in Sibiu, with numerous accidents reported.
