In the future, the EU hopes to introduce age-based speed limits. Young drivers will be allowed to drive at speeds below 90 km/h even on highways. New drivers may even be banned from driving at night. At the end of the probationary period, all new drivers will have to take another driving test.
The EU also plans to introduce a new B+ class driver’s license. The maximum weight for a regular category B driver’s license will be significantly reduced from 3,500 kg to 1,800 kg. Anyone wishing to drive heavier vehicles will need a B+ driver’s license in the future and must be at least 21 years old.
