Buy the French B Driving License Online

The first step to driving in France is to get the French license. This is done online on the ANTS site.

The B license allows the driver to drive vehicles that weigh less than 3.5 tons and have a maximum of 9 seats. This includes standard passenger vehicles as well as people carriers.

Driver's license test

Whether you're an EU driver or not the process of obtaining your driving license in France will require passing an exam written (code de la route) and a practical test. You may be required to take additional driving lessons in order to prepare for the test. You can also attend a driver's school that will take care of the training and scheduling for you. The test can be taken multiple times as you want however it costs EUR30 per time.

You may also take the exam as an independent candidate. However this option is only available to people who hold a driver's license from their home country issued in English. In addition, you must provide a medical certificate or a document certifying your handicap, known as a "reconnaissance de qualite de travailleur handicape". You can take the test in one of the special sessions (examen ETG spécifique) for non-French speaking candidates.

To pass the driving test on the road, you must have a minimum score of 20 points and have no exclusionary fault. You won't be told if you have passed or failed the practical driving test by the test taker. However, you can check the results online for 48 hours after the test using your NEPH. You can download the digital version of your permit after you've verified your success. The France Titres page to purchase your French driving license allows you to buy your physical French license online.

In France, a new driving license is valid for five years. After that, you'll need to renew it by filing an application for a new one with the prefecture. You will be required to bring along your driving licence from the past, a passport photograph and a French address. You can also apply for a new licence if you want to add another category of vehicle or change the name of your current driving licence. To be eligible to apply, you must have living in France for a minimum of six months. You must also have a valid health insurance policy which includes third-party coverage for vehicles.

Exchange of foreign driver's licence

If you're planning to move to France and already have a driver's licence from your home country, there are certain conditions that you must satisfy. You are able to exchange a licence only when there's an agreement to reciprocate between France and your home country, and it's still valid. Otherwise, you'll have to take the French driving test and be able to pass it. The process of applying for a license can take between two and three years but now that it's online, the process seems to be speeding up.

If you hold an international license issued by a country which is a member of EU or European Free Trade Association, (EFTA – Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway), or if your British or Northern Irish licence was issued before 2013, then you can use it to drive in France. You must first get third-party liability insurance before being permitted to drive. These types of licences are referred to as "permis d de conduire." They are the shape and size of a credit card, and they list your personal information, along with the vehicles you are allowed to drive.

Additionally, you should not have any outstanding traffic convictions or fines on your license. You must also be older than the legal driving age of your country. There are other requirements that you must meet. For instance, your license must be valid prior to the time you arrived to France. The driving license must be issued in your name and be written in your home language or with an official translation. It must also be valid in your country of residence, and it must be valid prior to the start date of your visa or residence permit.

In France the new drivers begin with six points. They can receive a maximum of twelve points. You could be fined for each offense, or lose points from your license. Your license could be suspended dependent on the number of points you've accrued. If you intend to stay in France for an extended period of time, you should learn how to drive.

Learning to drive in France

You can enroll in a driving school or learn to drive by yourself if you are moving to France. Regardless of which option you choose, it will involve some difficult hurdles to cross. The process of getting your driving license in France will take a significant amount of time, with waiting times estimated to be as long as three months due to the shortage of driving examiners. The actual test is similar to the UK's two-part theoretical exam and a practical test.

One of the first things you'll must pass is the 'highway code' test, or 'le code' for short. This is a lengthy test that will take at least a couple of months to be completed, so don't try to rush through it, or your French driver might be a bit harsh with you (not that we know from personal experience). This phase involves learning the rules of the road and taking a lot of'mock tests'. Then when you're confident enough you can go for the real thing.

The next step is to complete an hour of driving with a skilled driver. In France this is known as conduite supervisee. You have to sign up with the prefecture to be able to get approval. You must pass at least 20 hours before you're even permitted to take the test.

You'll also need to keep track of all your trips. This is to make sure that you don't drive to school and back every day (that would be 3000 kilometers but won't get you far). The route must be varied, so driving in your community every day throughout the year might not be enough. You will be fined and lose points on your French driving license if you commit a serious crime such as drunk driving or speeding.

One other thing to note is that the left lane is only for cars passing by, not for driving slowly in. If you're on dual carriageways and driving slow in the left lane, you will probably get stopped by a French traffic policeman, so be prepared.

Insurance

You'll need a French B license if you intend to drive in France. This license permits drivers to drive cars up to 3.5 tons. The permit also allows you to drive vehicles with no more than nine seats. The permit is valid for 15 years from the date of issue. You may be required to undergo a medical test to keep your license valid based on your age or vehicle category.

You'll also require an insurance policy for Permis B1 (Kaseisyoji.Com) third party liability for your vehicle. This policy will protect your vehicle in the event of an incident or theft. Additionally, you should carry your driver's license, insurance documents, and the car registration documents in your vehicle at all times. In some instances you'll need to carry your passport with you, too.

It's not difficult to buy and insure your vehicle in France. In fact, it's easy and simple, particularly if you already have a foreign driver's license from an EU or EFTA country. Some states have reciprocal agreements which simplify the process.

A French driving licence (cerfa permis de conduire de driving) is a legal document that lists your personal details, Permis Cepc the type of vehicle you're allowed to drive, and the date of the issue and expiry date. In most cases, it also serves as an official identification. It's a pink plastic credit card-sized credit card.

You must report your French permit immediately if it is lost or stolen. You can do this online through the ANTS website. You will then be issued temporary licenses that are valid for a period of two months. If you've committed an offense you may also be fined or removed from your license. The maximum amount is twelve points.
