Question 16316 — road safety

Summary

Mrs Julie Delpech draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the safety of users of motorized personal transport vehicles and more particularly of electric scooters. The rapid development of these modes of travel is accompanied by an increase in their daily use, in both urban and rural areas, but also by a worrying accident rate affecting users who are particularly exposed to risk of trauma in the event of a fall or collision. If the regulations already provide for mandatory equipment for vehicles, such as lighting devices, braking systems or retro-reflective equipment, personal protective equipment for drivers remains more limited. Thus, wearing a helmet is strongly recommended without being obligatory in most traffic situations, while that no particular obligation concerns the wearing of protective gloves. In a context of development of soft mobility and the search for better road safety, she would like to know if the Government has an evaluation of the effectiveness of the various personal protective equipment for users of electric scooters in terms of preventing injuries and trauma. She asks him also if it plans to develop the applicable regulatory framework in order to strengthen the protection of drivers of these machines, particularly in light of the most recent accident data.
