Hence the bitter observation expressed last fall by MNC: the motorcycle license continues to become more complex when the car license (B) hardly changes. Motorists – much more numerous than motorcyclists – are however frequently the cause of accidents between cars and motorcycles, for lack of having been trained to pay attention to two-wheelers (by systematizing the use of mirrors and indicators, for example example).

Asked by the Journal moto du Net, the two-wheeler manager of the French Driving School (ECF) network, Xavier Brèche (thumbnail below), is more positive: "this reform is a good measure in certain aspects because the training is now done through the prism of the motorbike, where some learning has so far been derived from car training ".
