Articles News

Discover all our articles in the news category: practical guides, advice and 2026 news to help you prepare and pass your driving license.

The News category tracks legislative, regulatory, and operational changes that affect drivers and licence candidates in 2026. You will find official announcements published on Service-Public and in the Journal officiel, communications from the Sécurité Routière, fine schedule updates, theory test (ETG) changes, ANTS updates for online procedures, and experiments run by certain prefectures (faster appointments, simplified NEPH access). We also track changes to the Compte Personnel de Formation (CPF) for funding a driving licence, France Travail adjustments for jobseekers, and positions taken by the road safety delegation (DSR). Each article states what concretely changes for you: effective date, affected categories, action required. This section helps you stay up to date without diving into raw legal texts. When news directly impacts your project (licence reform, VAT cut, new funding), we flag it clearly and link to the official source for verification.
