(deterrence) 24.05.2017 Quelle: Verband der TÜV e.V. 8 Target groups • Novice drivers: tougher regime! • Professional drivers: include violations specific for this group (drive/rest times, tachograph manipulations ...) • Limit to licence holders 24.05.2017 Quelle: Verband der TÜV e.V. 9 Intermediate and rehabilitation measures • Focus currently on knowledge/skills, should be on behaviour and attitudes! • Offence/target specific courses (only 5 MS)! • Retrieving points – danger of “free shots”? • 4step approach: – – – – 24.05.2017 Warning Driver improvement Withdrawal Rehabilitation/diagnostics before re-instatement Quelle: Verband der TÜV e.V. 10 Enforcement methods and levels • Perceived enforcement density of rules/offences in point catalogue is crucial. • Link awareness and enforcement campaigns • Owner vs. driver liability: “nemo tenetur” as a constitutional road safety problem • X-border information exchange on offences / points • Link to insurance premiums!

Voluntary exchange on certain offences (RESPER? not EUCARIS!) recast of 3rd Driving Licence Directive 2. Commission recommendation to adopt DPS, based on BESTPOINT recommendations 3. Virtual national driving licences 4. Every MS to run a DPS including certain offences; conversion table between MS 5.
