In parallel, the highway code theoretical test (ETG) can be taken with several state-approved operators. La Poste, one of the most widespread, offers an official search tool allowing candidates to book a session close to home.

The 1st-attempt B licence pass rate is 55.6% in department 34 according to data published by the ONISR. This rate is lower than the national average of 58.0%, which reflects the demanding exam conditions often observed in dense urban areas. For the Highway Code, the actual result also depends on the training plan and the assigned exam centre.

For administrative procedures linked to the Highway Code, candidates in Agde deal mainly with the Prefecture of Montpellier and with the ANTS portal for digital requests.
