A bill aims to make obtaining a driving license faster and cheaper. It costs around 1,800 euros and this could increase due to fuel prices.
How to make the driving license simpler, faster and more affordable? Today, the pass costs between 2,000 and 3,000 euros in some cities and is one of the many brakes on candidates. The bill provides for the creation of a single platform which lists all the existing financial aid to pass it. In addition, the personal training account, which already allows you to pass the B, C and D license, would be extended to permits for carts, motorcycles and trailers.
53 days of waiting for the exam on average
To shorten the time for summoning to the examination, by 53 days on average, the law provides for the possibility of training public officials to be inspectors and examiners. But this guarantee is insufficient according to a driving school owner for the stakes that this implies. “There is a responsibility. (…) The examiners, if it’s anyone, examine them anyhow and we throw dangers on the road”, believes Alain Mareschal. For part of the profession, the problem remains the shortage of instructors in driving schools, which extend the deadlines for taking lessons and passing your license.
