Local context

Why prepare your A2 to A Upgrade in Bobigny?

The A passerelle targets experienced riders in Bobigny: two full A2 years, desire to move up in displacement. With 56,927 inhabitants, the a medium-sized city of department 93 in Île-de-France provides the volume needed to sustain a regular and accessible passerelle offer all year.

For the A2 to A Upgrade in Bobigny, prior A2 experience does not remove the need for an adaptation period on the unrestricted engine. The instructor in department 93 supports this transition over the 7 passerelle hours, with a plateau segment for handling and a circulation segment to validate reflexes in Île-de-France.

The average A2 to A Upgrade fee in Bobigny has remained stable for several years: 300 to 500 euros for 7 supervised hours. Cost increases observed in department 93 concern initial training (A1, A2) more than the passerelle, whose compact format limits variations in Île-de-France.

Several approved operators (La Poste, SGS, Objectif Code, Pointcode, Dekra, among others) run the highway code (ETG) sessions since the 2016 liberalisation. Candidates in department 93 can in particular search for a La Poste session in Bobigny, Rosny-sous-Bois, Noisy-le-Grand and Villepinte.

For the plateau phase of the A2 to A Upgrade in Bobigny, the candidate finds drills close to the A2 format but adapted to the unrestricted displacement: low-speed handling, U-turn, braking. The approved track in department 93 acts as the training ground in Île-de-France.

In Bobigny, departmental statistics for 93 show a 1st-attempt Class B pass rate of 59.2% (departmental data) and an average practical exam wait of 63 days (national average) according to ONISR. The national average stands at 58.0%. Department 93 hosts 4 attached exam centres. These benchmarks frame the training plan for the A2 to A Upgrade.

The A2 to A Upgrade in Bobigny means mastering plateau manoeuvres, circulation training in real conditions and specific equipment (approved helmet, CE-certified gloves, high-visibility gear). Two-wheelers are particularly exposed to blind spots, lane splitting rules and interactions with heavy vehicles. Our partner schools tailor training to the traffic density observed in the department 93.

Local driving conditions

Driving in Bobigny : road environment and local specifics

Taking the driving test in Bobigny means training in the prefecture of Seine-Saint-Denis, a town of around 56,900 residents in the inner north-east ring of Paris, in the Ile-de-France region. Bobigny hosts the department 93 prefecture, the judicial court and the seat of the departmental council, making it a key administrative point of the metropolis. The urban fabric mixes housing estates around Abreuvoir and Edouard-Vaillant, business zones, the Avicenne hospital and the Paris 13 university campus. Class B candidates drive in a dense environment where drivers coexist with dedicated bus lanes, T1 and T5 trams and the Ourcq canal cycle path.

The main road axis around Bobigny is the A86 motorway, ringing the town to the north and south with the Courneuve and Bobigny-Pantin interchanges. The RN3, the former road to Germany, crosses the town east to west along the Ourcq canal towards Bondy and Pantin. The RN186, the northern stem of the N2, completes this network towards Le Bourget and the A1. Bobigny lies entirely within the Greater Paris Low Emission Zone, where Crit'Air 3 and more polluting vehicles are banned on weekdays.

The Bobigny practical test centre covers the northern half of department 93. Exam routes alternate wide boulevards (Lenine, Republique, Henri-Barbusse), A86 merges, crossings of suburban housing areas towards Drancy or Noisy-le-Sec and passes in front of the prefecture. Mastery of complex roundabouts, bus lanes and coexistence with the T1 tram on avenue Karl-Marx is expected.

The Seine-Saint-Denis category B pass rate stood at 59.2% in 2024 according to ONISR, below the 58% national average due to the density and complexity of the routes. The degraded oceanic climate adds episodes of winter fog and heavy spring rains, requiring careful grip management on the old town cobbles and the worn surfaces of the RN3. Highway-code training in Seine-Saint-Denis and the practical exam go through this demanding apprenticeship of a dense suburb.
