When you become an adult, you are often in a hurry with only one thing: to pass your driver’s license. However, this is often easier said than done. Because getting that little pink piece of paper that lets you drive isn’t necessarily very easy. Already, it is usually very expensive, between 1000 and 2000 euros, and above all, it takes a long time. And not to mention that the test is not necessarily obvious. Of course, this applies to the Traffic Rules, but also to driving. And no one is safe from a small cancellation error during the event.

In this case, you will then have to take the exam again, hoping that it will actually be correct this time. But at the same time, it is not always easy to pass a driver’s license success rate in France now? According to the latest data from the Road Safety organization, in 2022 no less than 1,577,355 candidates tried their luck. Of these, 896,539 received precious sesame seeds, i.e. 56.8%. But how many got a license the first time? To tell the truth, there are quite a lot of them, since 57.4 receipts did not require retaking the practical exam.

And for a motorcycle?

In general, number of applicants for driver’s licenses up slightly from 2021, no doubt due to restrictions that have undermined the plans of many. But what about bikers? Last year, 128,692 candidates tried their luck and 110,202 obtained the coveted A2 or A1 license. This equates to an excellent 86.6% success rate for first timers. And this despite the exam, the difficulty of which is increased.
