Your driving license is set to go digital
The European Union have agreed to introduce a digital driving license in an effort to crack down on rogue drivers who may flee a country to escape prosecution from road traffic offences.
It also means if you are disqualified in one country, you will be disqualified across all countries in the EU.The new rules will improve safety for all road users, and will help the EU achieve its Vision Zero – having no deaths on EU roads by 2050. It will be much easier to replace, renew or exchange a driving licence since all procedures will be online. It will also be easier for citizens from non-EU countries with comparable road safety standards, to exchange their driving licence for an EU one.
"These rights will be better guaranteed by provisions ensuring unified content and delivery of penalty notices, by ensuring recipients of such notices are able to verify their authenticity, and by making the sharing of information with presumed offenders a standard requirement."
