Slovakia’s parliament has approved new legislation requiring completion of basic education – equivalent to elementary school – as a prerequisite for obtaining a driver’s license. The new rule applies to all applicants for a Group B license, covering standard passenger vehicles. Individuals will also be unable to enroll in driving schools without demonstrating completion of basic education. The change aims to improve road safety and ensure a minimum level of education among drivers. Supporters of the measure argue it will lead to more responsible driving habits. The legislation was passed by parliament and is now set to be implemented, impacting future drivers in the country. No specific date for implementation has been announced.
