[HIGHLIGHTS] Driving license rules: Driving bans should apply throughout the EU – that’s what the EU Parliament wants

Driving bans should apply throughout the EU, the EU Parliament wants. The current rule is: A driving ban only applies in the country in which an offense was committed.

The new EU rules will require this decision to be passed on to the EU state that issued the driving license. MPs approved the draft directive by 372 votes to 220. There were 43 abstentions. Since the Council has not yet decided on its position, the new Parliament, elected in June 2024, will continue work on this law.
