Are driving licences changing? The 4th Directive on Driving Licences

In today's episode, Matt and Keith are diving into the 4th Directive on Driving Licences; what the potential driving licence changes could be and what they would mean for motorhome enthusiasts in the UK and abroad. We explore updates in driving license regulations, including potential weight limit adjustments, re-tests, cross-border enforcement and the introduction of digital licenses. With Brexit in the mix, there is also the UK's flexibility in adopting new EU directives and their impact on cross-border travel. David Whitehead, Director of Technical Services at the National Caravan Council, shares his insights on these changes and their implications for motorhome travellers. In the news, we shed light on crucial changes to border crossing procedures out of the UK with the introduction of the Entry/Exit System (EES) in October 2024.  In the Q&A, Matt tackles your concerns about vehicle tax and driving license classifications - could this listener be paying too much tax?
