To increase road safety the European Commission proposes new rules. The digital driving license is here valid throughout the Union. It is expected that from the age of 17 you can practice driving in accompanied cars and trucks. If you pass the exam at the end of this period, you will then be able to drive yourself as soon as you turn 18.
With the new rules come driver’s license training and tests are also revised, which will take more into account the safety of pedestrians, cyclists, scooters and electric bikes. Is provided a crackdown on some infractions such as dangerous overtaking, overtaking solid lines, driving against the traffic… In addition, a probationary period of at least two years for novice drivers and zero tolerance for drink driving. In addition, data will then be shared to make driving license suspensions effective across the EU.
With the new digital European driving licence, which it will be on your smartphone or any other electronic device, it will then be easier to replace or renew the document, as all the procedures will be online. Among the ideas is also that of a dedicated IT portal with access to information on the road rules in force in each State, where it will also be possible to pay any fines directly.
