I check changes to the law before they come into force
At the start of October, there were changes to the Driving Licence Act. I went through the changes before they came into force, and I now keep a list of all known upcoming changes.
Changes to the Driving Licence Act on 1 October 2026
Laws and regulations change, but not every change affects every driving licence category. That is why each change has to be read to check whether it changes what you need to know in the driving licence categories Teoriavalmis supports.
At the start of October, amendments to the Driving Licence Act and the Government Decree on Driving Licences came into force, and I went through them in advance. They concern passenger cars. Risk recognition training is extended from 8 to 12 hours, and drivers under 18 must mark the passenger car they drive with a separate sign.
They brought no changes to what is taught in the driving licence categories Teoriavalmis supports, so the content did not need to change.
Upcoming changes known in advance
So that no change comes as a surprise, I put together a list of all known upcoming change dates in the laws and regulations Teoriavalmis is based on. Before each date, I check whether the change affects the driving licence categories Teoriavalmis supports.
At the moment, the next dates on the list are at the start of 2027.
