Learning to drive in France

Another aspect of accompanied driving is that you have to keep a log of all the journeys you take.

These journeys also have to be diverse, so driving around the village for a year might not cut it. You will be penalized and lose points on your French driving license if commit a serious crime like drunk driving or speeding.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the left lane is only for passing cars, not driving slowly in. Be prepared to be pulled over when you drive slowly in the left-hand lane of a dual carriageway.
