(5) The road safety related traffic offences covered by this Directive are not subject to homogeneous treatment in the Member States. Some Member States qualify such offences under national law as ‘administrative’ offences while others qualify them as ‘criminal’ offences. This Directive should apply regardless of how those offences are qualified under national law. The scope of this Directive may be extended in future revisions, as appropriate, to include among other offences those relating to driving and rest times and offences affecting the safety of cyclists and pedestrians, such as illegal parking.
