Gereral Safety Regulations
Traffic needs to be safer. This is something society, vehicle manufacturers and lawmakers agree upon, and where the “ General Safety Regulation” (GSR) of the European Union comes into play. A legislative framework, most recently updated in 2019 and effective on all vehicles manufactured after 7 July 2024 makes advanced safety features mandatory for new vehicles sold into the European market.
The regulations apply to commercial vehicles vans and cars. However Britain is still to ratify this regulation.
