The requirement for an introductory course for driving practice to be abolished
Published:
The requirement for an introductory course for driving practice for a Category B driving licence, that is for a private car or light lorry, is to be abolished. The Riksdag has voted in favour of the Government’s proposal on this matter.
The introductory course has since 2006 been compulsory for both learners and supervisors but is now being abolished due to the fact that it has not had the intended effect when it comes to improving the planning, structure and contact of driving practice.
The amendment will come into force on 1 August 2026.
