Particular attention is given to the evolution of the regulatory framework in the period 2003\u20132022, from Directive 2003\/59\/EC to Directive 2022\/2561\/EC, which advances the system through the digitalization of teaching, the promotion of environmentally responsible and safety-oriented driving, and the application of more flexible learning methods.

The starting hypothesis of the paper is that the alignment of the national training system with European standards significantly contributes to the improvement of road transport safety and efficiency.

Particular attention is given to the evolution of the regulatory framework in the period 2003\u20132022, from Directive 2003\/59\/EC to Directive 2022\/2561\/EC, which advances the system through the digitalization of teaching, the promotion of environmentally responsible and safety-oriented driving, and the application of more flexible learning methods. The research is set within the context of the global initiative Second Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021\u20132030, whose goal is to reduce the number of road traffic fatalities by at least 50% (United Nations, 2021). The starting hypothesis of the paper is that the alignment of the national training system with European standards significantly contributes to the improvement of road transport safety and efficiency. The research is based on descriptive, analytical, comparative, and synthetic methods, supplemented with statistical indicators and case study analysis.
