Check Your Code: New Validation Tools

Re-obtaining the code is a mandatory step if your code is no longer valid and you want to take a driver's license of a different category (except for the A1 or A2 license, which has its own theoretical exam: ETM), or if it is invalidated or revoked. With the advent of the Internet, new tools have emerged that make learning the rules of the road code more fun. In this article, we present 3 new ways to learn the basics if you are forced to do a general theory test.

🔎 How to read the Traffic Law online?

Learning the code online remains an essential decision for those who want to train at their own pace, with complete autonomy, and from virtually anywhere! Subscribing on the Internet provides access to an interface designed to learn traffic and safety rules in the code. In general, the price ranges from 20 to 40 euros for 3 to 6 months of fixes, knowing that this time is more than enough if you work with regularity and seriousness.

This method of familiarizing yourself with the basic rules of the road code is based on a series of questions. These questions, similar to the questions of checking the code, cover all topics covered by the Road Traffic Regulations, such as the driver, other users of public places, vehicle safety or even first aid.

Due to the variety and volume of the series, a few weeks of training is enough to learn the most difficult concepts and improve them before taking the test again. Most of the materials include mock exams to test your skills and prepare for the ETG (code).

Good to know: Before subscribing, you need to test the online learning code interface. Question sets should be numerous and meet the latest regulatory requirements. If you don't have time to compare offers, you can safely say that the educational tool developed by the historic publisher Rules of the Road is a win-win.

🇧🇷 How to train with a voice assistant?

Learning the basics of a road code with just your own voice is now one of the many options that new technologies have made possible. A skill entirely dedicated to learning code is available for Alexa and Google Assistant. It offers 50 questions in the free version and up to 500 questions in the premium version.

The questions are mainly related to the driver's environment. Written specifically for this training mode and in accordance with the directives of the Ministry of the Interior, they are very close to the ones you will have to answer on D-Day.

Good to know: content is accessed through the Amazon skill store or from the Alexa app by saying “Alexa, open the Code de la route” (“Ok Google, talk to Codes Rousseau” in the Google Assistant). Please note that even if you have already submitted the code for the first time or if you already have permission, not all topics can be discussed using voice. Also, this educational solution is considered in addition to the traditional study mode (book or online code) for a good preparation for the exam.

🚗 How to successfully redo the code using social media?

If you are a fan of social networks or just want to make good use of every minute, then Traffic Practice on YouTube is for you!

Created by leading road safety experts to overcome the inability to take coding lessons in tight spaces, Mon Auto Ecole à la Maison is the third original tool for revision. The series of videos offered on the channel is dedicated to education and safety. Traffic professionals are represented in them. Driving school instructors will summarize the basic principles and then explain how to operate in the car!

Certain episodes are particularly suitable for preparing for a category B theory test, such as Car Fires (Episode 6) or Priorities on the Right (Episode 20). As you watch the various videos, you will find tips to help you master the most challenging driving license training concepts.

Good to know: Instead of going straight to the tests and failing, it's better to watch short videos and then do a mini-series of 5 questions. If you've followed the course closely, you must make a few mistakes!

Now you have the knowledge of new and original ways to learn the basics of the road code and maximize your chances of success in code testing. This test remains a mandatory theoretical prerequisite for learning to drive. Once the code is in your pocket, you can move on to driving lessons that aim to pass the practice test for your driver's license. Good luck on your exam!
