«For scooters there will be an obligation to wear a helmet and license plate»- Corriere.it

The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Matteo Salvini in a live social announced a turning point on the use of scooters: We are working on the new highway code – said the leader of the League -. For the scooters that whiz at high speed on the roads, cycle paths and sidewalks, the compulsory helmet and also an identification plate is something I want to put in the new highway code». They are measures, he clarifies, designed “to protect both those who go on the road and for pedestrians who cannot be treated as ski poles”.

“We are also working at a minimum distance of one and a half meters to overtake cyclists with cars and trucks because we are crying too much dead,” Salvini added. Some cities, such as Rome, have already introduced a squeeze on the circulation of scooters.
