The new regulations are already in place. You miss it once and you lose your driving license
This is the following entry:
Your driving license will be automatically suspended for exceeding the speed limit by 50 km/h on a single-lane, two-way road outside a built-up area.
This means that the new regulations do not apply to multi-lane roads, such as expressways or motorways. We are also talking about undeveloped land. Theoretically, these are areas where you can normally drive at 90 km/h, and the new regulation means that people driving 140 km/h there will immediately lose their driving license, which sounds reasonable.
Problem with receiving true driving
As a Twitter user named Jan noted:
And unfortunately, this is not a rare situation at all. There are signs that are forgotten, and often the company responsible for their installation denies them with a considerable delay, after the work has been completed. Moreover, this type of temporary marking appears suddenly, often even a few days before the actual start of work, which I know from my own experience, having worked with road markings in the past.
The new regulations therefore create scope for revoking the driving license of someone who is simply lost and drives 90 km/h on a road where no work is taking place or the work has been completed because he did not notice the 30 km/h speed limit sign standing between the bushes. If the new regulations excluded not only dual carriageways, but also temporary signs, the problem would not be so significant.
The other two changes are a big plus
Restricting electric scooters to children over 13 years of age is a change for the better. Younger children may have physical problems controlling a vehicle and may be less able to predict consequences. This should significantly reduce the number of accidents involving electric scooters among children. Of course, provided that these regulations are enforced.
Driving license from the age of 17 is also a positive change. Yes, up to the age of 18, these people will have to ride under the supervision of a licensed adult. However, their learning will not be limited only to the course, but they will be able to improve their skills under the supervision of an experienced driver for a year. And it’s completely legal.
