If I correctly remember euro LSV law, this puts France in the interesting position of their children being allowed to drive certain types of car at 14 but not allowed online until 15
those are what we call "moped cars" in finland, not sure what the english term for them is
basically a moped in a car body, goes only up to 45km/h.
more of a moped than an actual car
US/CA calls them Low Speed Vehicles or LSVs.
They are mostly useless for your average person here, as they can't (legally) keep up with traffic speeds on the majority of city streets and aren't allowed on our incredible excess of highways. You still need a full license too.
There is only one domestic manufacturer I believe, which mostly sells them to universities and as golf carts
You need to have the right infrastructure for them, and places that have it are the rare exception (example: Peachtree City, GA).
