Abstract(s)
Nos últimos anos, as bicicletas e trotinetas elétricas invadiram literalmente os
centros urbanos, passando a interagir no mesmo espaço com os peões e veículos
motorizados. Neste contexto, atentos às eventuais repercussões deste fenómeno,
desenvolvemos o presente estudo com o objetivo de verificar se a sinistralidade com
velocípedes, e em particular bicicletas e trotinetas elétricas, está a aumentar, caracterizar os
intervenientes nos acidentes e verificar a necessidade de introduzir normas mais restritivas
no quadro legal de utilização destes veículos, tomando como referência a sinistralidade
participada pela Polícia de Segurança Pública, nos anos de 2020 e 2021, no distrito de
Lisboa, onde a utilização massiva destes meios de transporte e mobilidade pessoal é uma
realidade em crescendo por parte da população, independentemente da idade, o que nos
parece preocupante e suscetível de contribuir para um novo espectro da sinistralidade
rodoviária, face à falta de maturidade e de experiência de muitos dos utilizadores por
contraste com a fragilidade e vulnerabilidade dos condutores mais idosos.

In this context, aware of the possible repercussions of this phenomenon, we developed this study with the objective of verifying whether the accidents with bicycles, and in particular bicycles and electric scooters, are increasing, to characterize those involved in the accidents and to verify the need to introduce more restrictive rules in the legal framework for the use of these vehicles, taking as reference the accidents reported by the Public Security Police, in the years 2020 and 2021, in the Lisbon district, where the mass usage of this means of transportations and personal mobility is a reality that is growing within the population, regardless of age, which to us seems both worrying and liable to contribute to a new specter of road accidents, given the lack of maturity and experience of many of its users, in contrast with the fragility and vulnerability of elderly drivers.
