Recital 18
(18) On the grounds of road safety, it is necessary to lay down the minimum requirements for the issue of a driving licence. Standards for driving tests and licensing should be harmonised. To that end, the knowledge, skills and behaviour connected with driving power-driven vehicles should be specified, the driving test should be based on these concepts and the minimum standards of physical and mental fitness for driving such vehicles should be specified. These minimum requirements must take account of the reality and driving practices or modes in use in the Member States. Under no circumstances should they, through an excessively high level of theoretical requirements, hinder applicants’ autonomy and mobility, and thus restrict European citizens’ freedom of movement.
