The Plenary Session of the Criminal Chamber has demanded a clearer administrative classification of Personal Mobility Vehicles (VMP) , given their impact on road safety, in a ruling in which it confirms the acquittal of a woman accused of a crime of driving without a permit (from article 384.2 of the Penal Code ), and where the key question was whether the vehicle he was driving was a VMP or a moped. The Chamber emphasizes that “the new social reality shown by the multitude of devices with the characteristics of the VMP, should lead to a clearer administrative classification, given the diversity of devices with circulation capacity, or the prompt requirement for an administrative certification.
