Recital 30
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 or sanctions and penalties Union- wide when breaking them, due to the influence of alcohol should apply, without prejudice to the Member States’ competence to regulate drivers’ behaviour. Such stricter rules could include specific training for novice drivers in which they receive further instruction on risk awareness and could reflect on their behaviour. 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 to novice drivers to improve road safety.
