Medical assessments to retain driver's licenses being proposed by MEPs

Published: Feb. 28, 2024, 7:30 a.m.

MEPs are debating forcing motorists to pass medical exams if they want to keep their driving licences in a bid to reduce road deaths by 50% by 2030. The proposals state that motorcycle, car and tractor drivers get a medical check every 15 years, while bus and truck users would be assessed every 5 years.  

One person who doesn\u2019t think this goes far enough is Elber Twomey, Road Safety Campaigner who joined Shane this morning.
