In short

Reading time: 1 min
  • Proposed by: Dansk Folkeparti (15 members, first named: Michael Nedersøe)
  • What is proposed:
    • The proposal calls on the Danish Parliament to require the government to introduce a bill on the disqualification rules for emergency vehicles during this parliamentary year.
    • Driving errors during lawful emergency driving that only cause property damage should, as a general rule, not be able to lead to disqualification from driving, unless the driver acted intentionally or showed gross negligence.
  • Who would be affected: The proposal concerns drivers of emergency vehicles during lawful emergency driving.
  • When: The proposal has not been adopted yet. A proposal for a parliamentary resolution is not an act and does not change the rules by itself. If the Danish Parliament adopts it, it is usually a call on the government to act.

What the proposal says:

  • Driving errors during lawful emergency driving that only cause property damage should, as a general rule, not be able to lead to conditional or unconditional disqualification from driving.
  • This does not apply if the driver acted intentionally or showed gross negligence.

Summary by the Danish Parliament (in Danish)

Forslaget har til formål at lempe reglerne om frakendelse af førerretten for udrykningspersonel. Det foreslås, at kørefejl under lovlig udrykningskørsel, som alene medfører materiel skade, som udgangspunkt ikke skal kunne føre til betinget eller ubetinget frakendelse af førerretten, medmindre føreren har handlet forsætligt eller groft uforsvarligt.
