Auch (32), in Occitanie, lies in a region stretched between the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees, crossed by major European axes. Structuring axes include the A9 known as La Languedocienne, the A61, A75 or A20, with major European traffic towards Spain. Sudden flooding during Mediterranean episodes can make some fords dangerous, signposted but sometimes underestimated. Driving in Auch combines centre streets, peripheral housing estates and axes to neighbouring towns. Gaze control and priorities in residential zones structure a large part of learning.

The average waiting time observed in department 32 for the practical Highway Code exam is around 63 days (national average). The Prefecture of Auch coordinates session scheduling via the licence-and-road-safety inspectors.

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.
