Driving licences in the EU

Driving licences in the EU

10.12.2025

Question for written answer E-004894/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Loucas Fourlas (PPE)

The frequency with which serious crashes and accidents occur in all Member States raises questions about how driving licences are issued - specifically, about the standard of driving instructors and how easily learners can pass their driving tests.

Can the Commission say:

  • 1.Does it intend to set minimum criteria and requirements for both instructors and learners taking tests?
  • 2.Does it intend to take measures to ensure that the level required by driving tests is truly harmonised across the Member States?
