In 2032, our grandchildren will all have the same driving licence: one licence for all Europeans, in the form of a credit card, a ‘made in the USA’ driving licence. This is evidence of heightened security, and a tangible sign where European identification is concerned. I regret the fact that it has taken 26 years to achieve harmonisation; that being said, the very first licences will be distributed as from 2012.
About time too! There are 110 different types of driving licence in the European Union today. This creates confusion that benefits the most dishonest among us, and makes the roads more dangerous than they need to be. Harmonising national laws means fighting against ‘driving licence tourism’, that is, against the opportunity for European citizens who have been stripped of their driving licences in their countries following a serious offence to obtain another licence elsewhere in the Union.
The rules on training examiners will also be harmonised. This will guarantee the quality of training throughout Europe."@en1
