Since 19 January 2013, EU countries have used one European driving licence that is as big of credit card, includes a photo and is secured against forgery. It replaces 110 national licence models previously in use.
It could be a surprise that France which is Britain's closest neighbor, has such a different system of learning to drive.
Medical Examination
In some European countries, it is mandatory to undergo medical examinations for drivers who wish to renew their licenses after reaching a certain age. This is done to ensure the driver is still able to safely operate the vehicle, and to ensure that they do not have any serious health problems. However some experts have questioned the benefits of these mandatory assessments. They have warned that these tests could cause older drivers to fear driving, which could cause more accidents.

The European Union allows its member states to determine the guidelines to determine a driver's fitness to drive, resulting in a variety of regulations. In Hungary for instance a family doctor can determine a driver's medical capacity to drive, while in Austria only specialized doctors can conduct the test.
The European Parliament is currently considering the possibility of obligatory health checks for drivers older than 70. Many experts in transport including Bernd Reuther of the FDP parliamentary party, Prawo Jazdy Na Traktor reject this idea. They argue that it would be much more sensible to focus on the implementation of technology, like intelligent speed assistance, reverse detection using sensors or cameras and alerts for attention in the event of driver drowsiness or distracted. This could be done in conjunction with the existing self-assessment form, which is required when applying for a driver's license or renewing it.
Another option to increase road safety is to institute mandatory medical checkups in the countries that don't have them yet. These checks can be conducted in conjunction with the existing license application process or at specific intervals. This can be used to detect health problems like epilepsy or diabetes, which could affect the ability to drive. However, a comprehensive screening program is not feasible without the cooperation of the health authorities and insurance companies, and a large amount of administrative work. The cost of these tests could be a major expense. Therefore, it is essential to establish the appropriate conditions and intervals for medical tests. Particularly in light fact that it's now possible to install vehicles with features such as automatic emergency braking or forward collision warning systems, which can prevent accidents caused by driver inattention or drowsiness.

Some countries have standardised the test content by creating a common test booklet that includes a list of elements that must be tested and some guidelines for evaluating. Other countries have more flexibility in the test procedure, however all tests must contain an element of independent driving including a safety inspection and controlled stops.
Hazard Perception Test
The Hazard Perception Test is an essential part of the test in theory, since it evaluates your ability to spot developing dangers on the roads.

It is also possible to train the ability to detect hazards which is why tests for hazard perception are so crucial for those who wish to take the wheel of a vehicle.
Research has also shown that perception of hazards is influenced by different factors, such as the age and experience of the driver.
