Drivers and parents should stay extra alert when driving in school zones. Children cannot perceive the speed of a car realistically and can be easily distracted by their surroundings. When in school zones, always remember to #DriveWithCare.   🔗 https://lnkd.in/emw6fSpa

Together with a coalition of independent service providers in the automotive aftermarket, we are urging the European Commission to deliver the already-prepared proposal on access to in-vehicle data, functions, and resources as part of President Ursula von der Leyen first 100 days plan. The proposal was drafted following extensive consultation with relevant stakeholders and was backed by fact-based evidence from several studies led by various DGs, including the Joint Research Centre. It even received a positive opinion issued by the Regulatory Scrutiny Board on its impact assessment. It is essential to promote competition for all stakeholders in the automotive and mobility services market. We are ready to collaborate with EU policymakers to support this critical initiative for competitiveness in the European automotive and mobility sectors.
