MEPs voted for a series of measures to reduce the number of injuries and deaths on Europe's roads. The European Parliament adopted the review report by 339 votes to 240.
But MEPs rejected the flagship measure aimed at imposing a compulsory medical check-up every 15 years on all drivers. Among the measures adopted, driving tests to obtain a driving license must include training in driving in winter conditions, safe use of the telephone while driving, blind spots, assistance systems to the driver. A harmonization of the rules is also planned for the situation of young drivers.
