Austria implements new driving license regulations
The 23rd amendment to the Austrian Driving License Act (FSG) takes effect on September 1, introducing several changes to licensing regulations.
For driving license classes C and D, the validity period for drivers aged 60 and older will increase from two years to five years. Additionally, international driving licenses issued under the Vienna Convention will see their validity extended from one year to three years.
Regarding testing, individuals who fail a driving exam can now retake it after 12 days, whereas the previous waiting period was two weeks. However, penalties for attempted deception during exams will become stricter, with the suspension period increasing from nine months to 18 months. Finally, in cases of lost or stolen licenses, the official confirmation of report will now allow for driving for up to eight weeks.
