My 13 Year Old Son Babysit By Someone His Age

information on the permit and D FIMO

When I decided to point me to this business, the conduct of passengers, I naively thought it would be enough to make me a driving school, to spend a few hours of practice, and presto! I would have my license in less time than it takes to tell. I had it all wrong.

Indeed, I am living in France since shortly and I do not know when the legal obligations which govern permitting. In my country, that is to say Belgium (we must have quality!) obtain a permit for heavy vehicles is very simple. We must pass the driving theory (the code) suitable for the type of vehicle they wish to drive, then take a little over 8 hours of practice (you read correctly, eight hours) in order to present the practical examination (operations and road). All for a sum roughly equivalent to that would be spent to pass the driving license. It is also possible to follow a course of 8 hours during ADDITIONAL prepare for other exams, the passing of the CAP awards, now mandated by I-don't-know-what-more European Directive for the professional driving heavy. These 8 hours of additional courses are not even required. Indeed, there are manuals, and feel free to submit the review of the CAP if you feel comfortable enough. The EU directive requiring that CAPE pretty cool in Belgium, is the same that is responsible for creating ... the FIMO in France! Si si! Those who know what I mean, you can bring your lower jaw.

For others, I'll explain what and how to get FIMO, and D license course. The following s'applque especially for people aged over 26 years. Younger people may in principle be a CAP, where access is less difficult.

The first step was to get information to understand (Hum. ..) legislation that governed the licensing D in France. For transport person exercised with professional , the permit does not D (plus, compared to the famous directive foo-trick) . Now we must get over the so-called FIMO (Minimum Initial Training Required). FIMO This is not, contrary to what its name suggests, required, eg if you want your 18 kids walk privately in your own bus.

Permit D can be spent in a driving school or a training center specializing in the transportation business (AFT-IFTIM, Forget, Promotrans, ECF ...) and the AFPA. As for the B license, you must pass the code and a practical test (cards, board and road).

The FIMO is a certification obtained at the completion of a review which follows four weeks of courses (140 hours), which can also be monitored in a center for training in transport. These courses focus on traffic safety, defensive driving, economy, etc.. They include a practical and a theoretical part. It's sort of a deepening of what we learn to get the permits "dry" and is usually done just after obtaining the permit.

In total, it takes approximately 7 weeks full-time training to obtain a permit and FIMO.

Once the permit is obtained and the FIMO, you will be required to complete 35 hours of refresher courses every five years.

specify that permits access to D and hence the driving courses are subject to the award of a statutory compulsory medical examination from a licensed physician. The list of approved doctors is available from your local prefecture.

small detail that is important: the cheapest price found so far to pass the driving test D is ~ 2000 € and for FIMO ~ 2500 € ... which means a total of € 4,500 ...

Access the professional drivers transport people to also be done via a professional license which includes D, FIMO and various courses to make you a driver 'complete' ability to prepare an itinerary of have a basis of geography, facing various mechanical problems, etc.. It takes 3 ½ months and cost close to € 8,000 to 10,000.

In both cases, the greenbacks do not push me under the armpits ... So he took me to seek a financing solution ... That's what I tell you the next episode .

Edit: I found a small file that summarizes succinctly nice it is to know about licensure D in France.
