🚦 Green light for safer, more accessible driving across the EU!

The European Parliament has approved updates to EU driving licence rules proposed under our Road Safety Package:

🚗 Accompanied driving from age 17 
🚗 Professional truck licence from 18, bus licence from 21 
🚗 An EU digital licence, with the right to keep your physical card 
🚗 EU-wide ban for serious offenses  
🚗 15-year validity for car and motorcycle licences 
🚗 A minimum two-year probation period for new drivers 
🚗 New road-safety training and testing to protect vulnerable road users

EU countries will have three years to turn the rules into national law, and one more to fully apply them.
