Question 19106 — road safety

Summary

Mrs. Laure de La Raudière draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the subject of the future of road education in our country, as part of the ongoing work on an overhaul of our model. In its report submitted in February 2019, a fact-finding mission from the Assembly made proposals to guarantee access throughout our territory to a quality driving license training offer, at an affordable and affordable cost. within a reasonable time. In November 2018, the President of the Republic clearly showed his desire to see the price of a driving license lowered to improve access, including to the most deprived. If a reform is desirable to modernize road education, for example by making the most of digital tools to reduce waiting times and the cost of a driving license, this must ensure not to break a model which presents certain advantages, particularly in terms of proximity, awareness and support for aspiring drivers by professionals spread throughout the territory. The quality of road education is in fact closely linked to road safety and the security of French citizens. Two proposals from the fact-finding mission are of particular concern to the profession. First, the proposal to transfer the issuance of the commercial operating approval of a driving school to the national level, whereas today it is the prefectures which issue these titles, thus allowing control of the quality of the service provider, with regard to the regulations in force. Secondly, the proposal to disintermediate applications for the practical test, opening the possibility for candidates to reserve their place for the practical test conduct. For people taking their license for the first time, several questions arise: who will prepare these future drivers? Who will teach them the reflexes to acquire for better road safety? Are we not at risk of seeing people learning to drive without a license? In this context, she would like to know if the Government intends to maintain a system of control, at the territorial level, of schools of conducted to guarantee the quality and integrity thereof. On the other hand, she would like to know whether or not the Government is in favor of free registration for the practical driving license test, and if so, what guarantees does it intend to provide so that candidates are made aware of road safety, and do not learn to drive without an approved professional at their side and without insurance, on the roads of France.
