Difficulty: Intermediate

France

Une autre manifestation dans les rues de Paris: celle-ci à cause des difficultés à obtenir un permis de conduire. Le coût exorbitant d’un permis est actuellement d’environ 1200€ en France, et les candidats font face à une longue attente, d’au minimum plusieurs mois, juste pour pouvoir passer l’examen. Augmenter le nombre d’inspecteurs de conduite automobile aiderait à écourter ces délais en même temps qu’à diminuer le coût du permis.
