This is good news for young people. From January 1 next year, it will be possible to pass a driver’s license from the age of 17. This means that in addition to participating in the test, as is already possible for those who have passed driving with an escort, it will also be possible to drive independently. In short, to be completely independent as if they were adults. The measure, announced by a government that wants to make peace with young people after outrage over pension reform. But not everyone takes this news very favorably, on the contrary.

Car collisions happen more often than you think, and they often happen during everyday commutes. It is important to know how to react. #Hang up #Auto insurance pic.twitter.com/n762b413p4

higher prices

This is, for example, a case insurance companies. The latter believe that young drivers are more dangerous than others. This is not necessarily true, as data from Road Safety confirms that people aged 18-25 are most at risk. As such, insurers want to take as many precautions as possible and charge a much higher premium for their young subscribers. And unsurprisingly, drivers who only got their driving license at the age of 17 will be particularly targeted, with a bonus that can increase regardless of the region of France.

what is the price?

At the moment, it remains to be seen what the prices will be, since the insurance companies have not set them their new tariff rules. However, expect a 100% surcharge to apply for young drivers. This already applies to everyone who has a car for less than a year. Then it drops to 50% and then to 25%. Of course, provided that you have not had any accidents during this period. Which is not obvious, but possible. We should know the prices for the 17 year olds very soon…
