Fine for not wearing seatbelts

Do you think people should be fined for driving without seatbelts, given that cyclists and e-scooter users are not even required to wear helmets?

The debate on penalizing driving without seatbelts once again exposes the hypocrisy of traffic law. Drivers and car passengers face harsh penalties, while cyclists and e-scooter users, who are also at risk of injury, do not even have to wear helmets. Supporters of the current regulations emphasize that the difference lies in speed – a car is a potential one-ton weapon, and seatbelts genuinely save lives. Others argue that if the state cares so much about safety, it should also make helmets mandatory for cyclists and e-scooter enthusiasts. There are also opinions that the whole system is selective and unfair – punish drivers while leaving others unregulated? Is this about protecting citizens, or is it another example of unequal treatment?

Mandatory helmet and liability insurance for bicycle and e-scooter users?

Should helmets and liability insurance be mandatory for users of e-scooters and bicycles?

The topic of mandatory helmets and liability insurance for bicycles and e-scooters is heating up public opinion. Supporters argue that since cars require seatbelts and insurance, similar rules should apply to other road users as well. Critics, however, warn against bureaucratic absurdities and yet another tax disguised as safety. The fact is that the number of accidents involving e-scooters is rising, and statistics on head injuries are alarming. On the other hand, some suggest that the whole debate is driven by the insurance lobby, eager for millions of new clients. Will such obligations actually improve safety, or rather restrict freedom and mobility? Cast your vote in the poll and see what others think.

Ban on Combustion Cars vs. Development of Gas Stations

How do you assess the ban on the sale of new combustion engine cars in the European Union from 2035, considering that gas station networks are still expanding rapidly?

The planned ban on the sale of new combustion engine cars in the EU from 2035 is sparking heated debates – supporters call it a historic step toward climate neutrality, while opponents see it as a technocratic experiment detached from reality. Meanwhile, gas station networks, instead of winding down operations, are investing in expansion, which for many is a sign that oil and gasoline will not disappear overnight. Critics point to the still sluggish pace of charging infrastructure development, as well as problems with battery recycling and lifespan. Conspiracy theories claim the ban is a tool to control mobility, with the elite having their own loopholes. Will 2035 mark a green revolution or just another political illusion?

Speed limiters in new cars

Do you think manufacturers should be required to install factory-fitted limiters in new cars that prevent exceeding the legal speed limit?

A factory-installed speed limiter in new cars is an idea that divides drivers and experts. Supporters speak of saving thousands of lives, reducing accidents, and disciplining reckless drivers. Opponents see it as another step toward total control over citizens and taking away their right to make their own decisions – even in emergencies. There’s also the financial aspect: would states give up billions in speeding fine revenue? Or is this the beginning of cars that decide where and how you drive?
