“Stop the tragic massacre of girls and boys on Italian roads”: Transport Minister Matteo Salvini himself, who announced measures for road safety. A post after a tragic weekend: Thirty-four people were killed between Friday and Sunday last weekend, 20 of them motorcyclists. The most serious accident with three injuries in the Lake Trasimeno area along the Perugia-Bettolle motorway connection. Highways but also towns: three dead and four injured in the last 12 hours in Rome alone. The situation for pedestrians is worse, from 1 January until yesterday 154 people were crushed to death on Italian roads, 33 and 18 pedestrians in Lazio and Lombardy were trampled to death.
So what to do? Transport ministry is working to update highway code and a decree temporary He’d hit the road: Rumors suggest that there’s a very drastic measure of what’s called a “life sentence for a driver’s license” among hypotheses. The proposal, which must first be passed by the Council of Ministers and then by the Parliament, should ensure that the licenses of those accused of having an accident while driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs are revoked for life.
This has been discussed before: As announced by Deputy Minister Galeazzo Bignami, another remedy under investigation is to introduce a scale system for income-based penalties: in practice, higher fines for those who are more “likely to spend”.
Other ideas under review by the ministry include mandating safety options, such as a breathalyzer that blocks the car when the driver starts driving while intoxicated.
Strict measures against points licensing are also on the way, making reclaiming points more cumbersome and increasing the number of points lost for the most serious violations.
We are also considering giving road safety lessons in high schools and in the first year of university and increasing the driving time required to take the driver’s license exam from 10 hours to at least 12.
Prevention and also new rules like wild parking restrictions for scooters and mopeds as well as tougher penalties for those who park on sidewalks, double rows and handicapped parking lots without the right to do so. In addition, the obligation to wear helmets and license plates for scooters and liability insurance are certain to come. in short for everything
