The European parliament has approved the Pan-European enforcement of traffic laws. This will allow police forces across Europe to share information on foreign motorists who break road traffic rules. Both the European Transport Safety Council (ETSC) and the European Traffic Police Network (TISPOL) have welcomed this move.
Non-resident drivers account for approximately 5% of road traffic in the EU but are responsible for 15% of speeding offences, according to European Commission figures. The law is expected to save at least 400 lives/year.
