Dear Transport Ministers: Please do not allow teenagers to drive Heavy Goods Vehicles
In a letter sent to transport ministers of EU Member States ahead of a key vote on 4 December, ETSC is calling for the recommended age for a lorry driving licence in the EU to remain at 21 and for bus and coach driving licences at 24.
E-Scooters
A 20 km/h factory-set speed limit, larger wheels, a ban on passengers and pavement riding, compulsory helmets and a minimum age of 16. These are some of the recommendations set out in a new report on e-scooters from ETSC and the UK Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety (PACTS).
Speed
Speed is the number one killer on Europe’s roads. Read our latest report on how EU countries are tackling the problem.
Drink-driving
A quarter of road deaths in the EU are alcohol related. Our interactive map shows how different European countries are tackling the problem. See also our new map looking at the use of alcohol interlocks in different countries.
