The proposed regulation, which underwent a public information period following its initial approval in June, introduces significant changes for private users. Key measures include the removal of the mandatory municipal registry and the local identification label, aiming to simplify administrative procedures and avoid overlaps with the national framework set by the Directorate-General for Traffic.
Regarding circulation requirements, the final text sets the minimum age for driving these vehicles at 15, rejecting a proposal to lower it to 14. Additionally, the requirement for civil liability insurance will no longer be a specific municipal obligation, deferring instead to applicable national legislation.
The document also includes improvements in technical terminology, unifying acronyms under the term VMP, and adds precise references regarding legal criteria for sanction graduation. However, the draft maintains existing rules on temporary vehicle immobilization and parking on sidewalks, as related claims were dismissed.
