Alençon belongs to Normandy and sits in 61, in a region where estuaries and viaducts shape coastal traffic. The road network combines motorways (A13, A84, A28) and departmental roads often hedge-lined through the Normandy bocage. Normandy's climate brings frequent rain and slippery surfaces, quickly developing grip management and braking-distance skills. Driving in Alençon combines centre streets, peripheral housing estates and axes to neighbouring towns. Gaze control and priorities in residential zones structure a large part of learning.
