Verified 28 April 2025 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

What is the difference between a school road safety certificate of 1er level (ASSR1) and level 2d level (ASSR2)? We'll tell you what you need to know.

Access to BSR practical training

The detention of the ASSR of 1er level (ASSR1) or ASR of 2d level (ASSR2) is required to access practical training in the BSR: titleContent.

SRAs may be replaced by the road safety certificate.

FYI  

The BSR corresponds to driving license category AM. Any driver of moped or light motor quadricycle, born in 1988 or later, must have either a driving license or a BSR.

Obtaining a 1st driving license

Holding the ASSR2 is mandatory to obtain a 1re category of driving license (A permit, A2 , B or B1) if you are under 21 years of age.

ASSR2 may be replaced by the road safety certificate.

RSAs of 1er level (ASSR1) and level 2d level (ASSR2) are obtained in the framework of the compulsory education of road safety rules.

They are issued during school time after a theoretical knowledge check. The tests are taking place every year between the beginning of the 2nde term and end of the school year.

ASSR1

The ASSR1 event is held annually for the following students:

  • Class of 5e or corresponding level

  • Class of 3e or corresponding level
