Two years on: Seniors at the wheel, a licence for life? | France 2 | la suite

When Henri passed his driving test, cars were crank-started with a handle and the words “motorway” and “roundabout” were not in the dictionary. It should be said that Henri, who is 105, has had his precious passport to freedom since 1931. Two years ago, we met him at the wheel of his 2CV, synonymous with independence and freedom. Henri grouched about this society where you would soon “have to ask permission to take a pee!” Has our retiree since decided to leave his car in the garage? Next September, a new driving licence will come into effect in our country. Will the French authorities use the opportunity to reopen the politically sensitive case of seniors at the wheel?
