Question 13133 — exams, competitions and diplomas

Summary

Mr. Christophe Barthès draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the worrying deterioration in the conditions of access to the driving license test, which today heavily penalizes the French, particularly in rural areas, where the car remains an essential tool for mobility, employment and freedom. For several months, the National Union of Driving License Inspectors has been warning of the continued decline in the number inspectors, even though the number of candidates continues to increase. This situation leads to a reduction in exam places and an increase in waiting times, often incompatible with the needs of young people and workers who depend on their vehicle on a daily basis. Added to this tension is a high failure rate on the first pass, which permanently clogs the system and leads certain driving schools to restrict access to first presentations, thus penalizing new candidates. Furthermore, the worrying rise in fraud in the highway code exam weakens the credibility of the current system. According to professionals, a significant proportion of certificates of success have been obtained fraudulently since the privatization of examination centers, while the means of control appear insufficient. In territories where the absence alternative transport makes the driving license vital, these dysfunctions aggravate the feeling of abandonment and hinder the settling down of young people. He therefore asks what measures the Government intends to take to strengthen the number of inspectors, fight effectively against fraud and guarantee rapid and fair access to driving licenses, an essential condition for the vitality of rural areas.
