Members can also shorten the validity of the driver’s license from more than 65 drivers. Any health check -up was particularly already controversial. Now it is planned: before the first driver’s license is issued, a driver must undergo a medical examination, which also takes into account his vision and heart condition.
Self -thought may be enough
For drivers or motorcycle drivers, however, the European Union country can choose to replace the doctor’s investigation with a questionnaire or with other alternative measures with the incident of renewal of the driver’s license. Member states themselves decide on possible consequences in the event of incorrect or incomplete information.

For beginners, strict rules and restrictions are applied for driving under the influence of alcohol and driving without the use of seat belts or children’s retention systems. The Parliament also urged a promise to carry forward the zero tolerance policy towards alcohol and drugs.

It is about better preparation for real driving situations and the creation of adequate risk awareness for pedestrians, children, cycle drivers and other endangered road users. To qualify for the driver’s license, a driver must familiarize himself with safe use of mobile phones while driving, risk of dead angle, driver support system and safe opening of doors, among other things.
To combat the shortage of professional drivers, the minimum age for acquiring truck driving license from 21 to 18 years and a minimum age for bus license from 24 to 21 years decreases. However, the applicant should have evidence of professional suitability. Member state can allow only 17 -year -old children to carry a truck or delivery van in their area, with an experienced driver. The federal government in Germany brought legal bases in February to introduce a digital driver and a vehicle license.
