Transport news, both in terms of incentives and regulations.
Let's go in order: starting from tomorrow the eco-bonus for the purchase of low-emission cars returns, which this time can count on 100 million in refinancing. Precisely from 10 am the Mise platform dedicated to the incentive for electric or hybrid cars will be active, which will cover new and used cars, but also commercial vehicles.
"Another concrete sign of the attention we are paying to favor the transition to the green by facilitating consumers", explained the Minister of Development, Giancarlo Giorgetti.
SCOOTERS - But that's not the only news coming. In the infrastructure decree, at the last bars in the Chamber, a tightening on the use of scooters was approved: the prohibition of parking on the sidewalks and the provision of special parking areas, the reduction of the maximum speed from 25 to 20 kilometers and confiscation of the vehicle in the in case of modifications that increase performance. The extension of the use of the helmet does not pass, however, which remains limited to 14 years as now foreseen by the experimental rules.
The new scooters will also have to have indicators and a rear brake light.
POLLUTING VEHICLES - The tightening could also concern the circulation of polluting vehicles of local public transport. Not only buses, but also minibuses with a dozen seats, which if they are Euro 1 or 2 will have to stop according to a specific table.
LICENSES - On the other hand, the rules - proposed by Italia Viva - have already obtained the green light to help those who receive citizenship income or a social safety net in order to get a road transport license. The incentive can go up to 1,000 euros and cover up to half of the expense, but it will be necessary for a third-party road transport contract to be signed in the following three months.
RISCIO 'AND TUK-TUK AS TAXI - Other approved innovations - proposed by M5s - concern the possibility of making taxi service not only with cars, but also with motorcycles and cycles (such as rickshaws or tuk-tuks).
FINES - On the other hand, two amendments are from Forza Italia that require transparency from local authorities on the proceeds of fines (they will also have to publish the receipts of speed cameras) and the possibility of avoiding a fine if you are found driving without documents but these can be verified online.
DISABILITY - Disabled people may not pay for the blue stripes (as is already the case in some cities) but they will also have simplifications to obtain the tax benefits provided.
TRACTORS - Finally, an amendment from the Lega that also extends to tractors the possibility of being considered historic vehicles or by collectors.
