The aim of this Directive is to enable the Union to pursue the goal of improving road safety across the Union. As held by the Court of Justice in Case C-43/12, measures seeking to improve road safety form part of transport policy and may be adopted on the basis of Article 91(1), point (c), of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), in so far as they are measures to improve transport safety within the meaning of that provision.
