#76: How I Got My French Driving License
As an American living in France, I’m celebrating that I got my French driving license. Hooray! While France does recognize and exchange licenses with some US states, it doesn’t recognize all 50 states. Unfortunately for me, New Jersey is not one of the states that you can exchange licenses with.
In today’s episode I’m sharing behind the scenes of what it was like to get my french driver’s license. It was a multi step process studying and taking an online exam plus lessons and a road test - all in French. I felt like a beginner all over again. I also noticed some interesting things that are different from the US driving systems. For example, France doesn’t have in person locations like a DMV (department of motor vehicles). Everything that can be is consolidated online - super interesting for a systems person to navigate!
If you’re considering a move from the US to France or recently moved, I hope you find this episode helpful.
You’ll learn about:
Driving rule differences
Taking an online exam
What driving lessons are like
What I had to unlearn and new things to learn after 20+ years of driving
The list goes on…
If you’re navigating something that is challenging or a big milestone for you, you’ve got this! Take it one step at a time and you’ll be able to accomplish anything.
