New EU Driving License Rules: Digital IDs, 15 Year Validity, and the War on Older Drivers

The EU has finally dropped a bombshell decision that’s shaking up the world of drivers! Digital driving licenses valid across all member states, a strict 15-year validity period, and tougher rules for new drivers are just the tip of the iceberg. But hold on, the real drama is the war on older drivers! The EU rejected a proposal to limit driving licenses for those over 70 to just 5 years, but now each country can decide if mandatory medical checks are needed to renew licenses. Germany’s already cracking down hard, with mass license revocations in Thuringia due to poor health. Meanwhile, Russia’s taking it to the next level with automatic license removal at the first sign of risky symptoms! As the EU wrestles with these hot-button issues, car associations like ADAC are pushing back against one-size-fits-all age limits, demanding a case-by-case approach. Is this the beginning of the end for older drivers’ freedom, or just a necessary safety move? Buckle up and watch the chaos unfold on Europe’s roads — and hey, if you’ve got a hot take, don’t be shy to drop it in the comments. We’re all ears for your driver drama theories!
