Road Traffic Law Changes: Emergency Services and Driver Authorizations
The new law amends road traffic regulations, expanding the powers of water and mountain rescuers, and volunteer firefighters in traffic management. It also simplifies obtaining a temporary electronic driving license and waives fees for privileged vehicle permits for volunteer fire brigades and rescue services. The changes aim to streamline rescue operations and administrative processes.
Key points
Water and mountain rescuers, and volunteer firefighters (after appropriate training) gain the authority to direct road traffic during rescue operations.
The process of obtaining a temporary electronic driving license has been simplified, allowing it to be generated earlier than reaching the minimum age.
Permits for driving privileged vehicles for volunteer fire brigades, water rescue, and mountain rescue will be issued free of charge.
Driver re-education courses will be conducted exclusively in person, without the option of online completion.
Individuals who obtained driving licenses before the law came into force will not be subject to the new probationary period regulations.
