\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\tEU\\’s New Digital Driver\u2019s Licenses Parliament and Council reached an agreement: stricter rules for new drivers, renewable permits every 15 years, and the possibility of starting to drive buses and trucks sooner. The digital format from 2030 will be valid everywhere<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\tBrussels \u2013 Permission to drive as early as 17, harmonized equal rules for test driving periods for everyone, and standard minimum fitness requirements in the 27 member states. The EU Council and Parliament agree on the proposed amendment to the directive for driver\u2019s licenses, which will reshape the lives of Europeans in cars and beyond. From digital licenses to the ability to drive a truck as early as age 18, the European Union is revolutionizing the driving concept.

News in sight for newly licensed drivers: before getting\u00a0the first license, one must pass a medical checkup, including eyesight and cardiovascular condition. It\u00a0is a requirement for \u2018heavy\u2019 categories (trailers, trucks, articulated vehicles).\u00a0For permits used to drive\u00a0cars or motorcycles, EU countries may choose to replace the medical checkup with self-assessment forms or, in the case of driver\u2019s license renewal, other alternative measures.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The inter-institutional agreement (provisional, to be formally approved by the House of Parliament and ministers) also aims to address the problem of the shortage of professional drivers. To this end,\u00a0the agreement lowers the minimum age for obtaining a truck driver\u2019s license from 21 to 18 and a bus driver\u2019s license from 24 to 21, provided that the applicant holds a certificate of professional competence. Governments can allow\u00a017-year-olds to drive a truck or van only on their territory if accompanied by an experienced driver.\u00a0The accompanied driver system will apply more widely throughout the territory of the European Union for motorists.\u00a0Other countries driv<\/a>er\\’s licenses The New EU Licenses The New EU Licenses<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t For the first time, EU regulations will set a\u00a0test period of at least two years for new drivers everywhere.\u00a0New drivers will be subject to stricter rules and penalties for driving under the influence of alcohol and driving without seat belts or child restraints.\u00a0In the inter-institutional negotiations, the European Parliament demanded and obtained\u00a0encouragement to pursue a zero-tolerance policy on alcohol and drugs, banning use for\u00a0all drivers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Negotiators from Parliament and the Council agreed that\u00a0driver\u2019s licenses for motorcycles and automobiles\u00a0should be valid for 15 years<\/strong>.\u00a0EU countries may reduce this period to 10 years if the license can be used as a national identity document (as in the case of Italy). At the same time,\u00a0licenses for\u00a0trucks and buses will have to be renewed every five years.\u00a0EU countries may shorten the validity of licenses (65 years and older) for older drivers.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t Another significant change concerns the format of driving permits:\u00a0By the end of 2030, a uniform mobile driver\u2019s license will be available to all EU citizens, inserted\u00a0in the future European digital identity portfolio. A Digital licenses will become the leading model at the European level, available on a smartphone, without prejudice to the right to always request a physical copy of the document. The digital driver\u2019s license will be recognized everywhere in the EU, overcoming the problem associated with conversions. Member states will have\u00a0five years and six months from the entry into force of the new rules to develop the new digital license,\u00a0which is\u00a0more time than it will take to comply with the latest\u00a0regulations. The amendment of the driver\u2019s license directive will take four years from the final approval of the provisional agreement.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" EU\\’s New Digital Driver\u2019s Licenses The New EU Licenses EU Agrees on New Digital Driver\u2019s Licenses: Issued Sooner, Valid for Longer EU\\’s New Digital Driver\u2019s Licenses Parliament and Council reached an agreement: stricter rules for new drivers, renewable permits every 15 years, and the possibility of starting to drive buses and trucks sooner.
