Amendment 199 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 2
(2) The current framework, should be updated to be fit for the new era, sustainable, inclusive, smart and resilient. It should take into account the need to reduce emissions from transport, also through a greater uptake of alternatively powered vehicles, digitalisation, the demographic trends and technological developments to reinforce the competitiveness of the European Economy. It is important to simplify and digitise administrative procedures, in order to remove the remaining barriers, such as administrative burdens, to the free movement of the drivers taking up residence in a Member State other than the one issuing the licence. A harmonized Union standard driving licence framework should encompass both physical and mobile driving licences, and provide for their mutual recognition, where they were duly issued in accordance with this Directive.

Amendment 208 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 10
(10) The digital transformation is one of the Union’s priorities. In the case of road transport, it will contribute to remove the remaining administrative barriers, such as the ones relating to the duration of issuing physical driving licences, to free movement of persons. Therefore, a separate Union standard should be established for the mobile driving licences issued within the Union. In order to facilitate digital transformation mobile driving licences should be issued as default fromin addition to the physical driving licence [date-of-adoption+4years], without prejudice to the applicant’s right to acquireresign either from a physical one or bor a digital one. The applicant should have right to acquire the type of the driving licence, which he or she initially resigned from. Member States should make sure th at the same timerequested document is delivered without undue delay and no later than within 2 weeks from the date it was requested.

Amendment 211 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 12
(12) The Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy sets out a vision for the EU to significantly improve sustainability of mobility and transport. Emissions from the road transport sector include greenhouse gases emissions, air pollutants, noise and microplastics from tyre and road wear. Greater presence of alternatively fuelled vehicles is key to green transition. Their new models of a higher weight would be available in driving licence categories B, C or D, which has to be taken into consideration by this legislation. Driving style influences these emissions, with possible negative impacts on the environment and human health. Therefore, driving training should equip drivers to reduce their impact on emissions as well as to prepare them to drive zero- emission vehicles.

Amendment 214 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 15 a (new)
(15a) Individual means of transport play a key role for millions of European citizens, including for people living in rural areas and among persons with reduced mobility. Therefore, Member States should consider appropriate infrastructure in urban, peri-urban and rural areas necessary to reduce road accidents and traffic congestion as well as targeted policies and support schemes for those at risk of transport poverty.

Amendment 217 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 15 b (new)
(15b) Active mobility, covering walking, use of bicycles, electric bikes or scooters, is becoming increasingly popular given the green transition. As their users are more frequently entering the European roads and sharing them with other individual means of transport where a driving licence is required, Member States are encouraged to introduce in their scholar systems risk awareness and traffic rules trainings, also within their lifelong training, with the view to improve road safety. Member States should be encouraged to introduce further measures for users of personal mobility vehicles with a view to decrease traffic accidents, improve road safety rules and risk awareness. Member States should equally consider possible registration of micro mobility vehicles above certain speed and power.

Amendment 221 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 16
(16) The minimum ages of applicants for the different categories of driving licences should be set at Union level. Nevertheless, Member States should be allowed to set a higher age limit for the driving of certain categories of vehicles in order to further promote road safety. Member States should in exceptional circumstances be allowed to set lower age limits in order to take account of national circumstances. In particular, to allow for example the driving of fire service and public order maintenance related vehicles or pilot projects related to new vehicle technologies.

Amendment 231 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 19
(19) Proof of compliance with minimum standards of physical and mental fitness for driving by drivers of vehicles used for the transport of persons or goods should be provided when the driving licence is issued and periodically thereafter. Such regular control in accordance with national rules of compliance with minimum standards would contribute to the free movement of persons, avoid distortions of competition and better take into account the specific responsibility of drivers of such vehicles. Member States should be allowed to impose medical examinations as a guarantee of compliance with the minimum standards of physical and mental fitness for driving other power-driven vehicles. For reasons of transparency, such examinations should coincide with a renewal of driving licences. While promoting lifelong training, Member States might also consider support systems for different age groups, including feedback interventions provided by traffic psychologist, driving examiner or driving instructor, that may issue recommendations and proof of attendance to the applicant.

Amendment 254 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 30
(30) It should be ensured that drivers who newly acquire their driving licence in a given category do not endanger road safety on account of their inexperience. For those novice drivers a probationary period of two years should be established, during which they should be subjected to stricter rules and penalties Union-wide when breaking them, due to for example the influence of alcohol or drugs, failing to use safety equipment, driving without a valid driving licence. Such stricter rules towards novice drivers might be enforced for example through national demerit points systems. The penalties for such conduct should be effective, proportionate, dissuasive and non-discriminatory and their severity should to the furthest extent possible take into account the Union’s mid- term and long-term goals of halving and nearly eliminating deaths and serious injuries. As regards any other restrictions on novice drivers, Member States should be allowed to freely implement additional rules in their territory.

Amendment 262 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 34
(34) The EU driving licence network aims to guarantee the recognition of documents and acquired rights originating in Member States, combat document fraud, avoid the issuance of multiple licences and facilitate the enforcement of driving disqualifications. It should be equally used to exchange information from national demerit point systems on traffic offences committed by foreign drivers. In particular, Member States should be given the possibility to systematically verify that the reasons, that led to any previously imposed restrictions, suspensions, withdrawals or cancellations of a driving licence or the right to drive, have disappeared. The use of RESPER for the implementation of other acts of the Union should only be permitted as long as those uses are explicitly provided for by this Directive.

Amendment 263 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 35
(35) In order to enable the preparation of meaningful reports on the implementation of this Directive, the Commission should receive information on a yearly basis regarding the number of driving licences issued, renewed, replaced, withdrawn and exchanged, for each category, including data on the issuance and use of mobile driving licences. Member States should equally share data on their best practices as regards road safety measures and risk awareness trainings, especially as regards novice drivers and within the lifelong training, self-assessment on physical and mental fitness and other types of medical fitness checks per age group, use of support system per age group through feedback interventions with prove of participation and recommendations provided by a driving instructor, traffic psychologist or driving examiner as well as measures to increase road safety among vulnerable road users, including practices on micro mobility vehicles registration. The Commission might prepare recommendations with regards to micro mobility vehicles registration.

Amendment 264 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 37
(37) In a context of gradual digitalisation and automation, of ever more stringent emission reduction requirements of road transport, as well as of constant technological progress of power-driven vehicles, it is necessary to keep all drivers up to date in terms of knowledge about road safety and sustainability. The promotion of lifelong training, including through feedback interventions with proof of participation and recommendations provided by a driving instructor, traffic psychologist or driving examiner, can be key in keeping experienced drivers’ skills up to date in terms of road safety, new technologies, ecodriving, which improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions, and speed management.
