I happy to report that Louis passed his driving licence last week. He had to go back to Canada to take the test as taking it in France would have meant re starting the whole process which would have taken at least 3-4 months for a probable cost of 1,000€. I find it quite nonsensical that there is a requirement to have taken a certain number of lessons to be able to apply for a driving test. Surely it should be either one or the other? If you can pass the test then that should be it. Similarly, why do taxis have a licence? It used to be that they had passed a difficult exam testing their knowledge of their city but nowadays taxis just follow their GPS so what is the exam and licence for ? Similarly we could definitely get rid of the licencing requirements for Estate agents, Lawyers, Chimney sweeps, Grave diggers, Butchers, Opticians and Hairdressers to name just a few.
