Is it a boon or a safety hazard that the Jaunty-3W is no license required?
The debate about whether the Jaunty-3W is a vehicle that doesn't need a license to operate has been heated. This, supporters say, makes the license more accessible to a wider range of users – including those who might find it difficult to obtain a traditional license. They say it helps elderly and disabled people to be more mobile and independent. But, others worry about the safety implications of untrained operators out on public roads. It also encompasses questions of regulation, insurance, and liability, in case of accidents. A basic training course should be mandatory, some argue; others say the vehicle has a limited speed and self balancing features which make it inherently safe. Additionally, it discusses how this classification can influence traffic patterns, and road safety in general.
Accessibility is great, but what if untrained users hit an accident button? Perhaps a short safety course should be mandatory?
I’m a person with a disability, and being no license is a godsend. I would not of had that freedom otherwise.
I think it's irresponsible. Although these vehicles may not go fast, they can do harm when not operated properly even at low speeds.
It’s much safer than a regular scooter because of its self balancing feature. There is no need for a license in my view.
It's a grey area. Until they become more common, we need clearer regulations for these types of vehicles.
I think the idea is great but I’m worried about insurance and liability if there was an accident.
This could be a wonderful opportunity to introduce a new, simplified license category for low speed electric vehicles.
