And for those who are checked with an outdated driving license, they will have the misfortune to suffer the same fate as any road user who drives without a driving license. The CD&V finds this law too harsh and wants to soften it, fearing that of the 420,000 people who have to renew their license in Belgium, not all of them do so. “In the event of a check, you will be penalized as if you were driving without a license, or as if you were driving a car when the authorities have withdrawn your driving license following a serious traffic violation”, warns MP Jef Van of Bergh.

In the event of an inspection without a license, a motorist would be fined up to 2,000 euros and prison terms of up to two years. What the CD&V finds very heavy for what it considers to be negligence. He wants the fine to be lowered to an amount between 10 and 500 euros. The Flemish party hopes that its bill will come into force by the end of 2023.
