The new regulations also allow 17-year-olds to obtain a driving licence, but until they reach the age of majority, they will only be allowed to drive under the supervision of an experienced adult as part of their driving training.
Finally, the reform also opens up more opportunities in the professional transport sector. Young adults aged 18 and over can now take the test for the class C truck driving licence, while the bus driving licence test (class D) is possible from the age of 21, provided that a corresponding professional qualification certificate is available.
