As of today, traffic regulations for hoverboards, electric scooters, electric skateboards, and unicycles have been updated. The rise in accidents involving these vehicles prompted a government response. Here is what changed and why it matters.
A government decree now classifies these devices as a category called “means of individual mobility” (SIM). This classification brings them specific speed and weight limits and ties their use to dedicated traffic signs that regulate where and how they may be operated.
The SIM category includes devices with a top speed of up to 25 km/h and a maximum weight not exceeding 35 kg. Movement within this category is governed by traffic signs that permit, restrict, or prohibit the use of personal mobility aids in various zones. This helps clarify where riders can travel and how to ride safely in shared spaces.

Acknowledging the evolving landscape, many regions are adopting standardized markings and rules that apply to SIM devices, echoing the need for rider responsibility and public safety.
Public participation in automotive coverage remains important. In parallel, a national initiative invites readers to engage with the latest developments in vehicle technology and consumer mobility options, highlighting how new regulations influence car and accessory markets alike.
Citizen engagement is encouraged as authorities continue to refine standards that balance convenience with safety for all road users.
In addition to mobility device rules, a related national event invites people to contribute to the assessment of new car models and related innovations. The goal is to identify the standout automotive novelties of the year through a broad public vote and expert commentary.
Participants can share their views and, as a token of appreciation for time spent, stand a chance to win several prizes. The timing of surveys aligns with ongoing coverage of automotive trends and industry announcements, inviting broad public involvement.
REPORT: The driving grand prix questionnaire continues to be open to respondents who wish to weigh in on 2023 automotive trends and emerging mobility solutions.
