#76: How I Got My French Driving License

Change from Within

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!

I hope you enjoy this episode and hearing more about what it’s like to drive in France. I include:

• 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.
