00:25Ale po caśmie z powalem są znaczne.
00:27są kontroversylamy, namely,
00:29o lorze-off
00:30of the minimum driving age.
00:32EU decoding
00:33takes you through
00:34the revision
00:35just agreed by
00:36the European Parliament
00:37and Council.
00:38Under the new rule,
00:3917-year-olds
00:40will be allowed
00:41behind a car wheel
00:42when accompanied
00:43by a more experienced driver.
00:45They may also be licensed
00:46to drive lorries
00:47under certain conditions.
00:49You need to be 21
00:50to do that now.
00:51New drivers
00:52will face
00:53a two-year
00:54probationary period
00:55with stricter rules
00:56and penalties
00:57for driving
00:58while intoxicated.
00:59Driving tests
01:00will check awareness
01:01of risks
01:02to pedestrians,
01:03cyclists
01:04and scooters.
01:05The directive
01:06also aims
01:07for new countries
01:08to harmonize
01:09medical screening
01:10for those
01:11taking tests
01:12for the first time
01:13or renewing
01:14their licenses.
01:15Let's see how
01:16all these changes
01:17are perceived
01:18by Europeans.
01:20Yes, I agree.
01:21I think it may be
01:22a bit similar
01:23to the United States
01:24where they have
01:25licenses
01:26to go home
01:27with someone
01:28responsible
01:29who has a card.
01:30For that reason,
01:31in general,
01:32I think,
01:33they must be subject
01:34to a temporary period.
01:35There are a lot of people
01:36who should
01:37go back to the exam,
01:38right?
01:39and they have
01:40to go home.
01:41Maybe even
01:42there are more rules
01:43and the older people
01:45sometimes
01:46don't know
01:47these rules.
01:48and they have
01:49because they are
01:50one.
01:51They are not
01:52one.
01:53and they have
01:55to go home.
01:56I believe
01:57that
01:5818 years
01:59is still
02:00a very small
02:01age.
02:02The world
02:03is not
02:04to lead.
02:05The world
02:06is not
02:07to lead
02:08on the streets
02:09where
02:10kids
02:11are playing.
02:12and they have
02:13to go home.
02:14And they have
02:15to go home.
02:16They have to go home.
02:17and they have to go home.
02:18They have to go home.
02:19They have to go home.
02:20They have to go home.
02:21They have to go home.
02:22They have to go home.
02:23They have to go home.
02:24They have to go home.
02:25Euronews
02:26reporter
02:26Gerardo Fortuna
02:27will help us
02:28navigate through
02:29these rule changes.
02:30Statistics
02:31say
02:32that 2 out of
02:335 fatal
02:34car accidents
02:35involve people
02:36and the 30 years old.
02:38What could
02:39change with these
02:40new rules
02:41for young drivers?
02:42It's striking statistics
02:43indeed.
02:44And one key change
02:45is this
02:46two year probation period
02:48for new drivers
02:49in which
02:50penalties,
02:51stricter penalties
02:52will apply
02:53for not using
02:54seatbelts
02:55or drink driving.
02:56But also
02:57another interesting
02:58aspect
02:59is
03:00the so-called
03:01accompanied driver
03:02so 17 years old
03:04can start practicing
03:05already
03:06under the supervision
03:07of a more experienced
03:08driver.
03:09These are rules
03:10that are already
03:11existing
03:12in certain countries
03:13but these are going
03:14to become
03:15common standards
03:16on the European level.
03:17This is what we call
03:18harmonization.
03:19The directive also aims
03:20to harmonize
03:21the medical screening
03:22process
03:23for people
03:24both obtaining
03:25license for the first
03:26time or renewing
03:27it.
03:28What will change?
03:29Some countries
03:30will keep doing
03:31mandatory health checks.
03:32Others
03:33could require
03:34to fill
03:35this self-assessment.
03:37Let's say
03:38it's still a bit
03:39controversial
03:40but there's not
03:41going to be
03:42a new wide rule
03:43but there's
03:44the encouragement
03:45in the directive
03:46to have some consistency
03:47when it comes to
03:48the health assessments.
03:49And finally
03:50the parliament
03:51and the council
03:52also agreed
03:53to review the law
03:54on driving
03:55disqualifications.
03:57What will be
03:58the changes?
03:59It's an important
04:00update because
04:01until now
04:02if you commit
04:03a major offence
04:05let's say
04:06you caught
04:07drinking
04:08driving
04:09on holiday
04:10in another
04:11new countries
04:12your licenses
04:13could be suspended
04:14in that particular
04:15country
04:16where you committed
04:17the offence
04:18and not elsewhere.
04:19So these
04:20new rules
04:21will fix
04:22this loophole.
04:23There are going
04:24to be three
04:25serious offences
04:26they're called
04:27serious
04:28and are being
04:29caught
04:30drinking
04:31driving
04:32injuring someone
04:33else while driving
04:34and excessive
04:35speed limits
04:36driving above
04:3750 km per hour
04:39than the limit.
04:40The review
04:41also aims
04:42to expand
04:43the use
04:44of the digital
04:45driver's license.
04:46They already exist
04:47in Denmark, Spain
04:48and Germany
04:49but a uniform model
04:50should be available
04:51across the EU
04:52by 2028.
04:53However,
04:54drivers will continue
04:55to be entitled
04:56to a physical
04:57driving license.
04:58They can use it
04:59for example
05:00in countries
05:01outside the EU
05:02that don't use
05:03digital systems.
05:05Let's go deeper
05:06into our decoding
05:07with German
05:08Green
05:09MEP
05:10Jutta Paulos
05:11that led negotiations
05:12here at the
05:13European Parliament.
05:14How do you react
05:15to the statement
05:16by the European
05:17Transport Safety
05:18Council
05:19that allowing
05:2017-year-old
05:21people to drive
05:22including glories
05:23would worsen
05:24road safety
05:25and that this
05:26should be optional
05:27for member states?
05:28Well, of course
05:29it is always a risk
05:31if you expand
05:32the possibility
05:33to drive heavier
05:34vehicles.
05:35This is clear.
05:36But I think
05:37there are sufficient
05:38safeguards.
05:39The accompanying person
05:40has to have
05:41a good education
05:42for that
05:43and also member states
05:44will of course
05:45have a look at
05:46how do accidents
05:47develop,
05:48how do incidents
05:49develop
05:50and will it actually
05:51help to tackle
05:52the driver shortage.
05:53And how confident
05:54are you
05:55that the member states
05:56will have
05:57enough means
05:58of enforcement
05:59to implement
06:01the two-year
06:02probation period
06:04so that they
06:05monitor close
06:06when young people
06:07might, you know,
06:08having the
06:09reckless conduct
06:10in terms of
06:11drunk driving
06:12and other behaviors?
06:13Well,
06:14in Germany
06:15we already have
06:16this probationary
06:17period for quite a
06:18long time.
06:19And of course
06:20enforcement is
06:21always an issue
06:22on any regulation.
06:24But
06:25we have witnessed
06:26a very strong
06:27let's say
06:28responsibility
06:29also by those
06:30young people
06:31because
06:32they know
06:33if they get
06:34caught
06:35driving
06:36with alcohol
06:37or drugs
06:38or whatever
06:39their driving
06:40license
06:41will be withdrawn
06:42and it was
06:43extremely expensive.
06:44So they have
06:45let's say
06:46a very good
06:47motivation
06:48to behave.
06:49What
06:50will be done
06:51to address
06:52the potential risks
06:53linked to the
06:54digital
06:55driving license?
06:56As some
06:57experts said
06:58that it might
06:59increase risks
07:00of cyber attacks,
07:02you know,
07:03insecurities in terms
07:04of protection
07:05of the
07:06driver's data.
07:07This is a test
07:08case also for the
07:09EU digital wallet
07:10because this is
07:11something which
07:12we have already
07:13in other legislation
07:14but right now
07:15we don't have
07:16anything that can
07:17go in that wallet.
07:18and around this
07:20digital wallet
07:21we have a lot
07:22of provisions
07:23concerning
07:25cyber security,
07:26concerning
07:27forgery,
07:28concerning fraud,
07:29concerning
07:30theft of
07:31digital data.
07:32If people
07:33use this
07:34EU digital wallet
07:35I don't see
07:36a lot of problems
07:37actually.
07:38Road safety
07:39is a shared
07:40responsibility
07:41between the
07:42European institutions
07:43and member states
07:44although Brussels
07:45is playing a greater
07:46role now.
07:47called Vision Zero
07:48Target
07:49to reduce fatalities
07:50by 50% by 2030
07:52and have zero
07:53road deaths
07:54by 2050.
