Soon the compulsory motorcycle boots?

For driver and passengers of motorcycles, scooters, quads and mopeds

Inevitably, as we know, the will of successive governments has always been to make equipment more and more compulsory and not any equipment, approved equipment, with the small label that is fine.
And beyond the obligation, the successive campaigns encourage you to equip themselves well.After making the wearing of gloves approved in 2016 compulsory, the delegation for road safety focused its prevention on the importance of equipment by particularly highlighting motorcycle airbag systems.
But now, for a dozen deputies Les Républicains this is not enough.The latter highlight the overexposure of lesions on the lower limbs (65%) compared to the higher members (50%), according to a study carried out by predict ... Between 1996 and 2000. The text also refers to an old studyGema dating from 2009, saying that 15% of bikers are not sensitive to the protection of the legs and feet.
Consequently, they ask the government to make compulsory by decree the wearing of boots approved for drivers as for motorcycle passengers, scooters, quads and mopeds.However, a more recent study carried out via 2-wheeled Lab, in 2016 and 2019, indicates that 93% of drivers responding to the survey on the equipment wear boots or shoes adapted to the practice of 2-wheelers.
Admittedly, the conduct of a motorized two or three-wheelers necessarily presents more risks since the driver is not protected by a body.Thus, if users of two-wheelers represent only 2 % of traffic, they count for 22 % of the number of killed and especially for a third of the injured.And as we know, once the boots will become mandatory, it will be the turn of the jacket and the pants.
