The article discusses the points system for driving in France, which operates on deductions, as opposed to the accumulative system used in the UK. New drivers begin with six points, gaining two for each incident-free year, capping at twelve points. The article highlights issues surrounding drink driving, noting that the legal limit of 0.5g/l can be easily exceeded and is particularly problematic in rural areas where drink driving is socially accepted. Visitors with foreign licenses may face requirements for exchanging them if serious offences occur.
In France, drivers start with points deduction on their licence, beginning with six points for new drivers, which increases for safe driving until a maximum of 12 is reached.
The drink drive limit in France is 0.5g/l, a level that can be easily exceeded by just one small glass of wine or beer, especially impacting rural areas.
