Directive 2003/59/EC on the initial qualification
and periodic training of drivers of certain road
vehicles for the carriage of goods or passengers
Directive 2003/59/EC is part of this overall effort to increase the
safety on European roads.
The purpose of the Directive is to raise the standard of new
drivers and to maintain and enhance the professionalism of
existing truck and bus drivers throughout the EU through a
continuous update of their capacities.
The objective of this public consultation is to provide input to the
European Commission in order to assess how effectively the
Directive has met its objectives and what specific action and
measures may need to be adopted to improve its effectiveness.
Please also read the background document.
This Directive provides changes (from 19th January 2013) for:
Definitions of vehicle sub-categories
Progressive access to larger categories of motorbike
The rules on the duration of the administrative validity period (AVP) of a
licence
Mandatory medical checks on the renewal of a Group 2 (bus or lorry)
licence
Minimum standards for driving examiners; and
Steps to ensure no one can at any time possess more than one licence
issued by a EEA State, and
Where the licence has been cancelled or withdrawn in an EEA State where
the holder resided, that other EEA States cannot issue a licence to that
person
Third Directive, 2006/126/EC

From the DSA Consultation in November 2005 the Partial Regulatory Impact
Assessment states the overall objective of the Directive is:
To improve road safety
To improve the professionalism and quality of service offered by
professional drivers
And to facilitate the free movement of workers
The EU Commission also by proposing these measures hoped to:
Encourage more drivers into both road haulage and passenger transport
assisted by a Community wide standard for both Initial Qualification and
Periodic Training for drivers working in road freight and passenger –
carrying sectors.
Directive Objectives in the UK
© Angie Davies - 2013
The proposed new arrangements offer the prospect of major benefits to the
road freight and passenger transport sectors. In particular:
Better qualified drivers should mean savings in fuel consumption (Research
indicates the economic benefits should outweigh the costs of the Directive’s
provisions.)
Better arrangements for skilling professional drivers will enable younger
persons to take up those occupations, which has long been a request from
the 2 sectors.
