Vanaf dit najaar, Jonge bestuurders in Frankrijk mogen straks geen krachtige auto\u2019s meer besturen.\u00a0<\/span>Frankrijk verbiedt jonge bestuurders om een voertuig te besturen \u201cwaarvan het motorvermogen een bepaalde drempel overschrijdt\u201d.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Dit verbod geldt voor elke auto die door een beginnende bestuurder wordt bestuurd, inclusief geleende of gehuurde voertuigen.\u00a0<\/span>De aanleiding is een reeks ernstige ongevallen waarbij jonge bestuurders betrokken waren.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wat is een \u2018krachtige motor\u2019?<\/h4>\n

De vraag is nu: wat valt er onder \u2018krachtige motoren\u2019? En waar legt de Franse minister van Mobiliteit de \u2018vastgestelde drempel\u2019 vast? En hoe zit het met elektrische auto\u2019s die net zo snel accelereren als een sportwagen? <\/span>Vragen die de komende weken beantwoord zullen moeten worden.<\/span><\/p>\n

Die beslissing zal echter bepalen of de maatregel een doeltreffend instrument voor verkeersveiligheid wordt of een achterhaalde regel op basis van pk\u2019s die niet geschikt is voor elektrische auto\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Itali\u00eb<\/h4>\n

Volgens de Vlaamse Stichting voor Verkeerskunde (VSV) kent Itali\u00eb al een dergelijke beperkende maatregel. In<\/span> In Itali\u00eb mogen houders van een rijbewijs van categorie B die dit pas onlangs hebben behaald, gedurende de eerste drie jaar geen motorvoertuigen besturen met een vermogen-gewichtsverhouding van meer dan 75 kW\/t, berekend op basis van het leeggewicht \u2013 t<\/span>Dat komt neer op ongeveer 103 hp.<\/span><\/p>\n

Uit Italiaans onderzoek blijkt dat de maatregel effect heeft. Uit onderzoek uit 2023 bleek dat<\/span>\u00a0De betrokken beginnende bestuurders hadden ongeveer 13% minder kans om een ongeval te veroorzaken en 28% minder kans om een dodelijk ongeval te veroorzaken, voornamelijk vanwege het lagere aantal ongevallen als gevolg van te hard rijden.<\/p>\n

Belgi\u00eb zal een soortgelijk debat op gang brengen<\/h4>\n

Ook Frankrijk overweegt een periode van twee tot drie jaar. In ieder geval moeten beginnende bestuurders in Frankrijk een wit-rode \u2018A\u2019-sticker (\u2018apprenti\u2019 of leerling) op hun achterruit aanbrengen. Die sticker mag pas na twee tot drie jaar worden verwijderd, afhankelijk van het soort rijopleiding dat de betrokkene heeft gevolgd.<\/span><\/p>\n

Opvallend is dat ook in Belgi\u00eb een soortgelijk verbod wordt overwogen. Minister van Mobiliteit Jean-Luc Crucke (Les Engag\u00e9s) heeft hierop gereageerd door te zeggen dat hij, in navolging van het Franse voorbeeld, \u201ceen debat wil openen over de geleidelijke toegang tot krachtigere voertuigen, met name voor minder ervaren bestuurders\u201d.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Hoogleraar Mobiliteit Dirk Lauwers (UA\/UGent) <\/span>staat positief tegenover het idee,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>hoewel hij van mening is dat de limiet die in ons land zou worden opgelegd, nader onderzoek verdient.\u00a0<\/span>\u201cOverigens zal een verbod zoals dat in Frankrijk het probleem van verkeersdoden onder jongeren niet oplossen\u201d, meent de hoogleraar mobiliteit. \u201cMaar het kan wel bijdragen aan een grotere bewustwording.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Oppositie<\/h4>\n

Tegenstanders wijzen erop dat niet alle ouders zich een kleinere auto voor hun kinderen kunnen veroorloven. <\/span>Ook de mobiliteitsorganisatie Touring is van mening dat de nadruk niet op de auto zelf moet liggen, maar op opleiding en rijgedrag.<\/span><\/p>\n

Het Belgische verkeersveiligheidsinstituut Vias wijst er ook op dat jongeren gevaarlijk kunnen rijden in kleine auto\u2019s met een laag vermogen. Tegelijkertijd zijn krachtigere, moderne voertuigen vaak uitgerust met betere bescherming bij ongevallen en rijhulpsystemen.<\/p>\n

Maar hoe zit het dan met elektrische auto's?<\/h4>\n

En hoe zit het dan met elektrische auto\u2019s, die hun volledige acceleratievermogen onmiddellijk tot hun beschikking hebben? Want nu zelfs bescheiden elektrische auto\u2019s de acceleratie van een sportwagen bieden, wordt het steeds moeilijker om te bepalen welke voertuigen verboden terrein zouden moeten zijn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mocht er in Belgi\u00eb ooit een verbod worden ingevoerd, dan zou de belangrijkste vraag in ieder geval zijn waar de grens moet worden getrokken. Nieuwe elektrische auto\u2019s hebben vaak (veel) meer pk\u2019s dan auto\u2019s met verbrandingsmotoren.<\/span><\/p>\n

Koppel<\/h4>\n

Elektromotoren leveren hun koppel vrijwel onmiddellijk. Stabiliteits- en tractiecontrole kunnen wielspin beperken, maar ze kunnen niet elke onjuiste gasbeweging, elke verkeerd ingeschatte inhaalmanoeuvre of elke te hoge snelheid bij het ingaan van een bocht voorkomen.<\/p>\n

Een geschikte regel voor het elektrische tijdperk zou daarom wellicht een combinatie moeten zijn van piekvermogen, vermogen-gewichtsverhouding, voertuigmassa en daadwerkelijke acceleratie \u2013\u00a0een kenmerkend aspect van elektrische voertuigen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Een gecertificeerde modus voor beginnende bestuurders zou een andere oplossing kunnen bieden. Een specifieke sleutel of een bestuurdersprofiel zou het koppel, de acceleratie en de maximumsnelheid kunnen beperken wanneer een onervaren bestuurder de gezins-EV gebruikt.<\/p>\n
