Frequently asked questions about license-free car routes
Why are Waze and Google Maps a poor fit for a license-free car route?
Waze and Google Maps plan trips for vehicles allowed on motorways and expressways, which are off-limits to license-free cars. They suggest routes that are illegal for a light quadricycle and show wrong travel times based on 110 or 130 km/h instead of the real 45 km/h. A license-free car route has to leave out these roads and recompute the time at the real speed.
How long does a long trip take in a license-free car?
A license-free car runs at 45 km/h at most. Allow about 1 h for 40 km on a secondary road, clearly more than in a regular car. For 100 km, plan 2 h 30 to 3 h depending on the terrain and town crossings. On long trips you also have to factor in range (tank or battery) and breaks.
Can a license-free car use a motorway or an expressway?
No. License-free cars (light quadricycles) are banned from motorways, expressways and ring roads. Driving on them risks a fine of up to 1,500 € and a dangerous situation. A license-free car route must always go around these roads on the secondary network.
How do you work out a route suited to a license-free car?
You need a route calculation that filters out banned roads (motorways, expressways) and estimates the time at 45 km/h. Browse the 3,518+ trips below between the main French towns, or use the TacTac app for real-time voice guidance on a 100% legal route.
