Sad news for drivers over 70, they will soon no longer be able to…

In La Rochelle, an 83-year-old woman driving the wrong way struck a group of children on bikes, raising a tough question: When should someone stop driving?

No Age Limit in France
Unlike Italy or Germany, France places no legal driving age cap. The B license lasts a lifetime—unless revoked by the courts. No medical checks are required.

Smart Solutions, Not Stigma
Doctors can assess seniors’ driving fitness. Refresher courses help older drivers stay sharp and updated with today’s road rules and technologies.

Support, Not Shame
From switching to automatics to taking senior-focused lessons, safe driving is possible at any age.
Let’s stop blaming and start supporting—experience behind the wheel matters, but staying current is key.
