Scooters: the government is working on a national regulatory plan

2023-01-17T07:40:07.553Z


For the Minister of Transport, it is necessary to "strengthen controls and obligations", without prohibiting these two-wheeled vehicles.


Scooters are currently at the heart of the debate.

Speed, accidents, dangerousness... these two-wheeled machines are singled out by some elected officials.

For Anne Hidalgo, who wants to stop these vehicles, there is "

lack of a street code

to say how we behave, and how the municipal police punish those who do not respect the rules

".

In an interview with Le

Parisien

, the mayor of the capital proposes a vote to Parisians on April 2 for the maintenance, or not, of scooters.

" on these scooters.

.

According to Clément Beaune, these machines still have qualities: “

The Minister agrees, however, scooters must be regulated.

The government is thus tackling “

a national regulatory plan

”, in consultation with the associations.

"

I want us to strengthen the measures, controls and security obligations

," insisted Clément Beaune.

If he did not provide more details, new provisions could concern the use of the telephone, the wearing of the helmet or the age of use of the scooters.
