Utilizatorii trotinetelor electrice, obligați să dovedească absolvirea unui curs de legislație rutieră

On October 12, 2026, the Senate approved a bill requiring individuals without a driving license to complete a traffic legislation course to use electric scooters on public roads. The minimum age for riding remains 14. The bill will be debated in the Chamber of Deputies, which has the final say. Those without a license must provide proof of course completion to operate electric scooters. Minors can take the course with parental consent. If passed, the government will determine course duration and certification within 90 days. Graduates will be registered nationally, allowing police to verify course completion electronically. The law aims to address serious accidents involving untrained scooter users.
