Driving Forward: the new EU driving licence rules

The European Union has updated driving licence rules to enhance road safety and modernise mobility. Key changes include a digital driving licence valid across all EU countries, stricter conditions for novice drivers and harmonised medical fitness checks. Cross-border enforcement of driving bans will ensure serious offences are punished throughout the EU. These reforms support the Vision Zero goal: eliminating road deaths and serious injuries by 2050.
