Focus this week in Parigo on the driving license. The first were issued in March 1923, a century ago. What developments tomorrow for this permit? Why do young people shun it? Will the lifetime license end soon?
It has long been nicknamed “the little pink paper”. The driving license has known the war, the oil shocks, the advent of digital technology, but it is still just as essential for motorists. Without him, the road would be a jungle. Parigo immerses you in unpublished archives.
Shunned by young people, the driving license has nevertheless lost its luster: 18-24 year olds are less and less likely to rush to driving schools. So why such dislike? This is what we will see with our first guest, Jean-Pascal Assailly, expert with the National Road Safety Council. (CNSR)

However, the driving license remains the most passed examination in France, with nearly 1 million 500,000 candidates each year. The health crisis has considerably disrupted the examination centers. So, have the deadlines become reasonable again? Parigo leads the investigation.
Finally, we will consider the advisability of ending the lifetime license. Will you soon have to have your license validated after a certain age? This is the fight of Pauline Déroulède, this tennis player lost a leg after being mowed down by a 92-year-old motorist.
