Road Safety Driver And Vehicle Standards

The Department for Transport and DVSA are reforming driver licensing, vehicle standards, and road safety regulations to improve public safety. Current initiatives include mandatory eyesight testing for older drivers, improved moped and motorcycle training and testing, British Sign Language accessibility in licensing, and stricter penalties for motoring offences. Multiple bills are progressing to strengthen unlicensed driver enforcement and school-based road safety.
