34Consequently, it should be noted, in the second place, that the recitals of Directive 2009/103 show that, like the directives relating to insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles which preceded it, the aim of that directive is, on the one hand, to ensure the free movement of vehicles normally based on European Union territory and of persons travelling in those vehicles, and, on the other, to guarantee that the victims of accidents caused by those vehicles will receive comparable treatment irrespective of where in the European Union the accidents occurred (judgments of 24 October 2013, Drozdovs, C‑277/12, EU:C:2013:685, paragraph 28 and the case-law cited, and of 14 September 2017, Delgado Mendes, C‑503/16, EU:C:2017:681, paragraph 35).
