The regulation, which came into effect in December 2023, will determine the age limit for commercial vehicle drivers until the end of 2024. This decision was made to balance the increased trade volume and driver shortages following the pandemic. Furthermore, the requirement for drivers engaged in commercial transport to hold a professional competence certificate remains in effect.

For drivers reaching the age of 80, this renewal period will be reduced to two years, and they will be required to undergo more frequent health checks and driving proficiency tests. These measures are being implemented to enhance the safety of elderly drivers and minimize potential risks in traffic.
