European Commission chiefs have greenlit a new EU digital driving licence that will help crack down on rogue drivers by creating a central registration system across the bloc.
This means that motorists who commit road traffic offences in other States and get away with it (by for example, avoiding arrest, prosecution or conviction by fleeing the jurisdiction where the offence was committed), up to 40 per cent, will not be able to just leave a country to escape from their offences anymore.
It will also mean that disqualifications will no longer apply just in the country they are issued in, but will apply right across the bloc under the new centralised system.
