Recital 3
(3) Over the past decades, developments in vehicle safety have contributed significantly to the overall reduction in the number of road fatalities and severe injuries. However, these reductions have recently stalled in the Union due to various factors, such as structural and behavioural factors, and without new initiatives on general road safety, the safety effects of the current approach will no longer be able to off-set the effects of increasing traffic volumes. Therefore, the safety performance of vehicles needs to be further improved as part of an integrated road safety approach aiming at the Vision Zero goal of “no fatalities” and in order to protect vulnerableall road users better, in particular vulnerable ones.

Recital 4 a (new)
(4a) Activation status of each assistance system, including warnings, should be sufficiently differentiated to ensure that it is intuitively clear to the driver which system is activated and how it should be used. Issues related to the operation of these systems should be incorporated into the driver’s training by driving schools and professional in- service training as well as tested in on- road conditions.

Recital 6 a (new)
(6a) It is widely recognised that the safety belt is one of the most important and effective vehicle safety features. Safety-belt reminder systems therefore have the potential to further prevent fatalities or mitigate injuries by increasing the safety belt wearing rates across the Union. It is therefore necessary to make it compulsory to install intelligent safety- belt reminder systems for all front and rear seats of M1 and N1 vehicles and all front seats of N2, N3, M2 and M3 vehicles.

(7) The introduction of event (accident) data recorders storing a range of crucial vehicle data over a short timeframe immediately before, during and immediately after a triggering event (for example, the deployment of an airbag) is a valuable step in obtaining more accurate, in-depth accident data. MAll motor-vehicles should therefore be required to be equipped with such recorders. It should also be a requirement that sSuch recorders arshould be capable for recording and storing data in such a way that the data can be used by Member States only to conduct road safety analysis and assess the effectiveness of specific measures taken without the possibility of identifying the owner or the holder of the vehicle.

Article 6 – paragraph 2 a (new)
2a. Accident data recorders shall meet the following requirements: (a) the data that they are capable of recording and storing with respect of the period immediately before, during and immediately after a collision shall include following information: - the state and rate of activation of its all safety systems; - the state and rate of activation of its all assistance systems; - the vehicle’s speed, braking, position, lights activation, and tilt of the vehicle; - driver’s response with regard to the steering wheel position, brake activation and gear shift; (b) it shall not be possible to deactivate the devices; (c) the way in which they are capable of recording and storing data shall be such that the data is protected against manipulation and misuse and can be made available to national authorities only, on the basis of Union or national legislation in compliance with Regulation (EU) No 2016/679, over a standardised interface via offline access for the purposes of accident data analysis, and such that the precise vehicle type, version and variant, and in particular the active safety and accident avoidance systems fitted to the vehicle, can be identified. However, the data that an accident data recorder is capable of recording and storing shall not include the last four digits of the vehicle indicator section of the vehicle information number nor any other information which could allow the individual vehicle itself, its driver to be identified. Moreover, the data processed recorded by an accident data recorder: (a) shall be available outside an accident data recorder only in case of the collision of the vehicle and not before the triggering by the collision; (b) shall not be retained longer than necessary for the purpose referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 7(5); (c) shall be fully deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for that purpose.
