New highway code may force drivers to retake exam

As work on Hungary’s new and simpler highway code is expected to reach its end soon, drivers who already hold licenses could be required to pass a new exam, Hungarian online daily origo.hu reported today.
Daily Magyar Nemzet reported that work on the new code has been ongoing for four years. According to Péter Kozma, a lawyer specializing in transport, there is a possibility that everybody will have to pass the exam, even those who are already driving with a license. The lawyer added that this could prove costly for Hungarian drivers, origo.hu reported.
