Basque Country: Autonomous Community assumes authority for road awareness and re-education centres

Royal Decree 602/2026 expands the competencies of the Basque Autonomous Community regarding traffic and vehicle circulation, amending Royal Decree 3256/1982. This expansion includes the authority to authorise road awareness and re-education centres, as well as functions related to driver qualification through psychophysical aptitude assessment centres. This measure aligns with the operational regime for awareness centres introduced by Royal Decree-Law 5/2023.

In 2 key points

  1. Transfer of authority for road awareness and re-education centres to the Basque Country (exordio)
  2. Expansion of functions regarding psychophysical aptitude assessment centres (exordio)

How it affects those involved

For road awareness and re-education centres located in the Basque Country, the competent authority for authorisation shifts from the State Administration to the regional Administration. Additionally, psychophysical aptitude assessment centres fall under the scope of the functions transferred to the Autonomous Community. No changes are expected regarding driver obligations, only a change in the body executing road safety competencies.
