While France doesn’t impose mandatory tests, elderly drivers can voluntarily consult a licensed physician to assess their driving abilities. Eye exams, reflex tests, and coordination evaluations can help identify potential risks. Doctors may advise limiting driving to daylight hours or avoiding high-risk situations.
Refresher courses are another helpful option. These programs allow seniors to review traffic regulations, adapt to new road developments (such as roundabouts and advanced driving assist systems), and receive constructive feedback on their skills.
