Driving license for seventeen -year -olds and compulsory helmets. These are the details of the government project

The government adopted a draft riding law act for seventeen -year -olds and compulsory helmets – the Chancellery of the Prime Minister said on Tuesday. The project assumes, among others enabling seventeen -year -olds to apply for a category B driving license, but introduces a trial period and the rules for reversing powers to young drivers.

According to the proposal, the issuing of a category B driving license is to be restored to people over 17 years of age and obtained the written consent of parents or guardians.

In the trial period, the so -called A young driver It is forbidden to consume alcohol or an agent similar to alcohol, exceeding a speed of 50 km/h in a built -up area, 80 km/h outside built -up areas and 100 km/h on the highway and dual -track express road, carriage of passenger passengers or as part of occasional transport.
