How old can-are we driving a car without a license (VSP)?

In France, the law concerning the driving of unlicensed cars (VSP) states that you must be at least 14 years old to be able to drive this type of vehicle. However, there are some subtleties to consider:

1. AM driver's license: From the age of 14, you have the opportunity to obtain the AM driver's license, which was previously known as the Patent of Routière Safety (BSR). This permit allows you to drive a VSP on the public track.

2. Accompaniment: Drivers under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a person who has been a driver's licence for at least 5 years when driving a VSP. This ensures adequate monitoring and assistance during the initial driving experience.

3. Speed limits: Drivers under the age of 16 are subject to specific speed limits. On the way, they must not exceed 45 km/h, while in agglomeration, the maximum permissible speed is 25 km/h. These limitations aim to ensure the safety of young drivers and other road users.

Concerning the advantages of driving a VSP:

1. Accessibility: The driving of a driverless car offers a mobility solution for young people who are not yet old to get their traditional driving license. This allows them to move independently and gain independence.

2. Facility: VSPs are generally smaller and more manageable than traditional cars, making them ideal for urban driving. They are easier to operate and park, which reduces driving stress, especially for beginner drivers.

3. Cost: Unlicensed cars are often cheaper to purchase and maintain than traditional cars. They require less fuel and are generally less expensive in insurance, making it a financially advantageous option for many drivers, especially young people and students.
