Help please. We live in France and one of our daughter who is 18 would like to buy a secondhand scooter to enable her to get to and from school. Could anyone please give me some info. We have seen some with number plates and some without. Does she have to have lessons or take a test etc? Any info would be most welcome. thank you.

Judging by the replies, not a lot of people live in France...

I would think that if you asked at the shop that sells them they would give you the answers you need.
Or the police stations should have a traffic section to give you answers.

Good luck john

Forgot to mention, BSR is Brevet de Sécurité Routière. You have to take it if you're born after a certain date, she may/may not be exempted. Driving school/moto ecole will tell you. I'd recommend it anyway! Doesn't cost much and being on a scooter here is a far cry from being in a car.
