But after confirming that it would be done, I think 99% of the motorcyclists who knew about it were happy and satisfied, at least as far as this issue was concerned. But the story was not over yet, and it is only today that we can finally assure you that the law allowing the transport of an intercom installed in the headset has been published, so that its use during traffic is now legal. Sometimes it is necessary to answer a call while we are leaving for a long trip and someone wants to talk to us. But of course, this should always be done safely and legally to avoid distractions or problems with traffic officers. One of the most egregious cases of this illegality, which directly affects us motorcyclists, is that of intercoms; Some accessories are becoming more and more common and yet still wrapped in a state of legal vacuum that fills many of its potential users with doubts and promotes the discretion of traffic officers. Well, in these incomprehensible things and in our two-wheeled world, we found ourselves in a completely abnormal situation and without justification in terms of the use of Bluetooth intercoms by motorcycle users. Something completely incomprehensible at this point, because these communication systems significantly improve certain aspects of our driving. Despite the historical legislative greed of the Spanish leaders and their obvious vocation to control, implement and regulate everything, sometimes the industry goes faster and some small spaces do not notice this normative intervention. Then elements or situations are created that, without being legal – since they are not regulated in any way – are also not illegal, since nothing in the legal system says that they are. In practice, however, this third hypothesis – illegality – is much more uncomfortable for taxpayers` rights than either of the previous two, as it not only creates uncertainty, but also usually becomes fertile ground for abuse of authority. Well, the motorcycle intercom can only be used for these purposes, ignoring others like listening to music. In addition, an important fact is that with the new ece 22.06 approval, which will be mandatory from 2023, the motorcycle intercom system must be homologated with this standard and with that of the helmet in which it is installed. The Spanish importer of the Seine is much more critical of the role of the DGT. In reality, the DGT does not do the user a service, let us be clear, but simply brings into the regulations what the judges have already done in the judgments.

In most appeals filed for complaints about the use of intercoms, DGT judges remove the reason and warn them that the content of the case is wrong and that it is a mistake to equate headphones or headphones with intercom speakers. The DGT has already dealt many legal blows to this issue. The sentences are clear; The speakers of a communicator do not isolate themselves and should therefore be equated with the use of a hands-free system in the car. Another thing is logically complaints about the handling of a moving device. which has nothing to do with the foregoing and corresponds to the spirit of the law. Of course, the law makes it very clear that these devices can only be used if they are approved and have all the guarantees. In fact, the text of the new traffic law states: “The use of wireless devices certified or approved for use in the safety helmet of motorcyclists and moped riders is allowed for communication or navigation purposes, provided that it does not affect the safety of driving.” Until recently, this increasingly used accessory was in a legal vacuum. We inform you that intercoms will already be legal. Fortunately, on 31 December, the Directorate-General for Transport reiterated the case and finally approved its legal use, including©its category “Motor vehicle traffic and road safety” in Article 13.3, where the use of intercoms in the field of two wheels is finally considered legal. see GalleryDistributors for Helmet is a product associated with technological profiles that are increasing every year But let`s get to the heart of the matter; with the regulations in force in force. Can intercoms be used with peace of mind? Well, as the great Mario Moreno Cantinflas said – although others attribute the phrase to the bullfighter Juan Belmonte – the answer is “neither yes nor no, but quite the contrary”. Not only that, but a week before the farewell to 2020, the DGT announced its intention to regulate other aspects of motorcycle use in a few months – such as the mandatory use of gloves or the ability to ride on the shoulder in case of detention – but without mentioning the controversial intercoms.

So the administration had the opportunity to do so. even if we still have to wait. In a meeting with netizens via the website of the Directorate-General for Transport in early December, Navarro said it was “working on a standard that will allow its use in the near future and that will be approved before the end of 2021.” With this in mind, the appliance industry has repeatedly stated that intercoms should be considered speakers built into the headset, just like those of a car in the door panels. These are the technical requirements to be able to use them legally. Make sure the device you`ve chosen is right for them. In this way, you will have no problems arising from its use and you will be able to circulate calmly and without complications. Have a good connected trip! Buenos dÃas Aldo. In fact, the use of the intercom during exercises contradicts a possible sanction if you wear it alone. For this reason, we insist on appealing any sanctions that may be imposed on you for this matter. Politeness formulas. The first doubt that can attack us is whether or not our intercom is legal, most likely yes, but if we want to be sure of what we should do, we can see if we can read the acronym CE (European Conformity) or “E” (and a number) in the box or in the intercom itself.
