Driver qualification, periodic training & driving licences
This procedure updates the rules for the initial qualification and periodic training of drivers who operate commercial vehicles for transporting goods or passengers. It aims to improve road safety and professional standards across the EU by ensuring drivers are properly trained and their skills are regularly updated.
The changes primarily affect professional drivers of trucks and buses, as well as the transport companies and training providers responsible for certifying their qualifications.
