The European Union’s Transport Ministers agree that you can drive from the age of 17, as long as you are accompanied by someone over 24 who has held a driving license for at least five years.
European Union countries have agreed to allow people aged 17 and over to drive as long as they are accompanied by someone over 24 who has held a driving license for at least five years, although final rules have yet to be determined. negotiated with the European Parliament.
The measure, agreed by EU transport ministers at a meeting in Brussels yesterday, bans a companion who has lost his driving license in the past five years.
Furthermore, the law stipulates that at the age of 17 you can only drive a vehicle in the country that issued the driver’s license, and not in the rest of the Member States.
The ministers have also endorsed the European Commission’s proposal, so that the withdrawal of a driving license in a Member State automatically means that that person is not allowed to drive in any country of the European Union.
