Recital 2 a (new)
Recital 2 a (new)
(2 a) Pursuant to the framework of Directive 96/53/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, enabling vehicles to have a new cab profile would contribute to improving road safety by reducing blind spots in the driver's vision, and ought to help to save the lives of many vulnerable road users such as pedestrians or cyclists. Once improved safety requirements for longer cabs have been developed, consideration should be given to whether it is appropriate to apply them to vehicles which do not benefit from the length extension;

Recital 3
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 w25,300 people were killed in 2017 on EU roads, and at least 135,000 people are seriously injured every year on these same roads. 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 and in order to protect vulnerable road users better.

Recital 4
Recital 4
(4) Technical progress in the area of advanced vehicle safety systems offers new possibilities for reducing casualty numbers. In order to minimise the number of fatalities and serious injuries, some of the relevant new technologies need to be introduced.
Amendment 76 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4 a (new)
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.
Amendment 77 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4 b (new)
Recital 4 b (new)
(4b) Vehicles of all categories will continue to be technically more complex and more demanding for maintenance and repairs in the near future. New technologies should therefore have a favourable cost-benefit ratio throughout the whole life cycle of the vehicle so to be affordable for all consumers and not increasing average age of the vehicle fleet on European roads.
Amendment 83 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6
Recital 6
(6) Intelligent speed assistance, lane- keeping systems, driver drowsiness and attention monitoring and distraction detection and reversing detection systems have a high potential to reduce casualty numbers considerably. The driver drowsiness and attention monitoring systems should work without any facial recognition. In addition, those systems are based on technologies which will be used for the deployment of connected and automated vehicles too. Therefore, harmonised rules and test procedures for the type-approval of vehicles as regards those systems and for the type-approval of those systems as separate technical units should be established at Union level.
Amendment 85 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6 a (new)
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.
Amendment 90 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 7
Recital 7
(7) The introduction of event (accident) data recorders storing a range of crucial vehicle data over a short timeframe before, during and 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 such recorders are capable for recording and storing data in such a way that the data can be used by Member States to conduct road safety analysis and assess the effectiveness of specific measures taken.
