Road safety: The Commission suggests modernising licence requirements and improving cross-border enforcement of traffic laws

The adoption of a digital driving licence that is valid throughout the EU and new procedures to make it easier to enforce traffic laws across borders are among the proposals for modernising the requirements for obtaining a driver’s licence that the Commission unveiled on 1 March.

The majority of the more than 20,000 people who died on EU roads last year were scooter and motorcycle riders, cyclists, and pedestrians.

These will better prepare drivers for driving in cities, on roads with more bicycles and two-wheelers, and around plenty of pedestrians.

Young people will be able to learn to drive and get a licence starting at the age of 17; they will also be able to get experience through an accompanied driving programme.
Individuals who pass at the age of 17 can start driving on their own when they become 18 and can start working as professional drivers as soon as a particular employment permits it.

By doing this, the existing driver shortage will be lessened.
