Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends Section 12 of the Traffic Ordinance and states that a person convicted of an offense on electric vehicles (such as electric bicycles, electric scooters or e-unicycles) that are exempt from the requirement of a driver's license will not be able to obtain a driver's license until an age one year later than the minimum age. The proposal also amends Sections 16, 20 and 47, so that restrictions on mobile phone use for driving instructors will also apply in the IDF and the police, and allows a prosecutor (and not only a police officer) to decide on disqualifying a driver. In addition, the proposal clarifies that a notice prohibiting the use of a coupled vehicle applies to both its parts (the towing vehicle and the trailer) as a single unit.
