Driving license withdrawal: EU decides strict rules for traffic offenders!

In a groundbreaking step to improve traffic safety, the EU has decided that the driver's license withdrawal due to serious traffic violations will be valid in the future in the future. The majority of the Member States' transport ministers have voted in Brussels for a new law, which is intended to enable a driving ban or license withdrawal in an EU country to be valid in all other countries. This not only affects drunkenness at the wheel, but also excessive lawn. Anyone who is caught with a high alcohol level at the wheel in Italy would also have to expect a loss of driving license in Germany, reported OE24

The proposal is perceived as part of a comprehensive strategy to combat traffic offices. "If someone has lost the driver's license in a member state of the European Union because they have massively violated road traffic regulations, then he or she should not be allowed to drive everywhere," emphasized Federal Transport Minister Volker Wissing (independent). This regulation applies, for example, to speeders, which are flashed in urban locations from 30 km/h and outside of locations from 50 km/h above the permitted speed. In addition to lawn, other serious traffic offenses such as causing fatal accidents, such as Tagesschau.de reported.

traffic safety in focus

The new regulations aim to increase security on the streets and to strengthen the punishments for serious traffic offenses. A central point of the law is the exchange of information between the countries over severe traffic violations, which means that offenders can no longer drive in their home country with impunity. These far -reaching measures are now in negotiations with the European Parliament, which already gave its fundamental approval in February. This takes a step towards a uniform traffic rules in the EU, which is considered urgently necessary by many experts.
