After the final green light from the Senate new traffic code was published in the Official Journal. In fact, last night, inside”General series“Clause 280 of November 29, 2024, there is a LAW of November 25, 2024, Clause 177: “Interventions regarding road safety and commissioning the government to revise traffic regulations in accordance with Legislative Decree of 30 April 1992, n. 285. (24G00199)“.
So now 15 days left until the entry into force of the new regulations introduced along with the reform of traffic regulations, which was strongly supported by Minister Matteo Salvini. As the Vestnik writes, In fact, the measure will come into force on December 14..
Therefore, as we already assumed, before the Christmas holidays, Italians will have to deal with the new provisions. However, be careful as not all changes will actually take effect. In fact, in some cases specific executive orders will be required. In any case, the process of reforming traffic rules has already come to an end.
We have repeatedly talked about reform also because over time it has been the subject of various disputes, and not only of a political nature. The innovations that the new traffic rules will introduce are indeed many, and in some cases we have also explored some of the main topics in detail. So let’s take a look, some of the major changes which will come into force soon.
NEW RULES FOR USING SCOOTERS
One of the main innovations ishelmet is required for everyoneincluding adults. The new scooter legislation will also introduce a so-called license plate, which is actually an adhesive, plasticized and permanent identification plate that will need to be printed at the State Printing Institute. However, a special implementation decree will be required. Then there will be an insurance obligation. They already exist today, but you don’t have to subscribe to them. We recently saw how much they could cost, and it’s likely that more special packs will be coming soon.
Drunk driving
Strict measures against drunk driving have been introduced. For example, liability for driving a car with a blood alcohol content above 0.8 g/l will be tightened. In addition, for two or three years there will be an obligation to completely abstain from alcohol and drive only vehicles equipped with a breathalyzer (a kind of breathalyzer connected to the car’s starting system). This obligation will last for two years if the crime is “mild” (0.8-1.5 g/l), or three years if the crime is serious (over 1.5 g/l).
FINES CHANGE
If we talk about fines, then with the new traffic rules, in addition to the introduction of new sanctions, in some cases existing ones are tightened. We recently talked about this and looked at some examples.
MOTO 125 ON THE HIGHWAY
One of the most anticipated new products by motorcyclists. In fact, even 125cc motorcycles will be able to travel on highways and ring roads. Thus, all motorcycles with an internal combustion engine of at least 120 cc will be able to travel on highways and ring roads. However, if the car is equipped with an electric motor, it must have a power of at least 6 kW. However, be careful: there is one more requirement, and that is to be an adult.
USING A MOBILE PHONE WHILE DRIVING
Hard line if you are caught using a mobile phone while driving. In addition to increased fines, if you have at least 10 points on your license but less than 20, your license will be immediately suspended for one week. If the number of remaining points is less than 10, the disqualification will be longer and reach 15 days. In both cases, the suspension time will double if the use of the mobile phone results in an accident.
PINK LEAF AND NEW LICENSORS
News also for those who need to obtain a driver’s license and for novice drivers. in detail, to get a pink slip and practice driving on your own, you will first need to take a certain number of certified driving lessons (on motorways, country roads and at night) at a driving school. All this, obviously, always after passing the oral exam.
Instead, the new restrictions will apply to new drivers for three years rather than one year, and the power scheme for cars that cannot be driven has been revised. Thus, the movement of vehicles with a specific power per tare weight exceeding 75 kW/t will not be permitted. In the case of M1 category vehicles, including electric or hybrid vehicles, an additional maximum power limit of 105 kW will apply.
