@EU_Commission what about the other side of the stick of electromobility - charging stations? As there are two options to choose from for driving license, maybe regulate also charging? Requiring alternative payment options so we could pay in the same way as on gas stations - card or cash without all those gimmicks as „create account to use charging service” (multiplied by amount of charging providers).
@EU_Commission Great, lets hope it replaces the pointless form that UK people had to fill in at a post office where we had to glue a photo of ourselves to a piece of paper that says stuff in several languages, which then gets stamped by some random post office employee for some countries, except for spain, which needs a separate but very similar form.... oh wait, the UK isn't in the EU any more :( bah
@EU_Commission Will those mobile driving licenses work for those people who only have Free/Open Source applications on their phone. I kicked googled and other non-FOSS application off my phone.
Having it as an option is in theory rather okay - but I've also learned that in this world, this is most likely the first step to abolish the physical drivers license.
My own government is also very keen on introducing this SPOF (single point of failure) situation, by insisting on putting everything on peoples smartphone (Smartphone meaning latest iOS/Android), which is causing more and more severe problems for citizens that do not follow that given path.
@EU_Commission So, let me get this right, your Zero Emissions Mobility policy is to make it easier to drive, and in effect increase the number of private vehicles? Hmmmm....
The 30km/h limits are reportedly hard to follow by the drivers. So what do you think of saving everyone a hassle and adding a requirement that new cars had at least an option for an automatically GPS-activated speed limiter for such areas ? Safer pedestrians, happier drivers who don’t get fines…
@EU_Commission
"We are shifting to zero-emission mobility."
You mean shifting to walking?
Because other forms of mobility usually emit light, sound, microplastics from tyres, dust from mining for materials and a lot of them emit carbon dioxide on top of that.
@EU_Commission I don't see why linking national driver's license registers requires all drivers to carry a smartphone and have a digital driver's license.
@wonka It will be much easier to replace it since all procedures will be online. You will also be able to hold a physical driving licence, or both, as you wish. ☺
@EU_Commission@wonka that means as soon as I have no mobile phone anymore (either stolen, broken or I am simply unable to afford a new phone or want a phone without USA-access) I won't be able to drive? I think I am happy with a physical card which doesn't need electricity...
