The French Driving Test — Pass the Practical Exam
The mistakes that fail you, how to prepare for the day and what to do if you fail.
My theory test is coming up
The French theory test is 40 questions, you need 35 right to pass, and it's in French only. In 2025, fewer than half of the exams taken at approved centres were passed (49.3%, according to the official road safety report). This guide for English speakers explains how the exam works in 2026, how the questions are built, and how to read each one in 20 seconds without falling into the traps.

It gathers the rules and figures to know by heart, all checked against official sources, 12 original trap questions with explanations, a 30-day plan that tells you when to book, and a printable French-English glossary of the words used in the questions.
English speakers taking the French theory test (code de la route): expats, students, partners of French residents, anyone getting a French driving licence. It pairs with our guide "The French Driving Test: Pass the Practical Exam".
General information, rules checked against official sources in November 2026. This guide doesn't replace your driving school or practice on question series. No pass is guaranteed.
