RE-VALIDATION * Portugal - October drivers’ license renewals for the over-50s
Lagoa,Algarve,Portugal -The Portugal News -27 Sept 2008: -- In October, all drivers aged 50 or 60 will receive a notification letter stipulating the deadline by which they must renew their drivers licenses, the Institute for Mobility and Terrestrial Transports (IMTT) said this week... The measure was implemented on January 1st this year, and is irrelevant of the validity date on drivers’ existing documents. If the driver is aged 50 or 60 the license must be revalidated... This also applies to truck and lorry drivers, as well as drivers of collective passenger transports, like coaches and buses, who must re-validate their licenses at the age of 40... According to the IMTT, this new legislation aims to “better control drivers’ physical and psychological aptitudes”... Those who fail to renew their documents within deadlines will be granted a two-year period in which it can be done, though if caught by police, may be subject to fines...
