Today, you have to wait until you are 18 years old to finally get the right to pass your driver’s license. However, before this age you can start learning to drive a car and even pass the test, but it is forbidden to get behind the wheel on the road alone, even with a precious sesame in your pocket. An event that helps to reduce traffic jams in driving schools and save time for young drivers. But the government would like to go even further in the coming months, as it hinted at at the start of the year. Indeed, he would like to further lower the driving age.

Reflections on the project to no longer deduct points from the driver’s license of drivers guilty of minor speeding continue! https://t.co/w2bQX7OYx4

Next announcement

Thus, it would be possible to drive independently from the age of 17, or even from the age of 16, as it was caused by certain noises in the corridors. An idea that was obviously controversial. Many claim that young people are not yet mature enough to set off on their own. But will this measure really be implemented? We don’t have to look far for it. Indeed, there are rumors that the government will soon speak on the subject via Prime Minister Elizabeth Bourne.

New measures

This announcement will then be made within eight days, which will coincide precisely with the presentation of the resulting youth plan National Council for Reconstruction (CNR) dedicated to the latter. Other measures are also being considered, such as completing the 20 hours of driving required to pass the driving test. All of these changes could happen this summer, but nothing has been confirmed yet. However, it should be a game changer for many future drivers.
