Idea: Add a “New Driver” option to Waze, specifically adapted to France’s probationary license rules, which would automatically adjust the app’s features to meet the unique speed restrictions and needs of new drivers in France.

• Adjusted Speed Limits and Probationary Driver Profile: When a user registers as a probationary driver under France’s licensing rules, Waze could display adapted speed limits (e.g., 80 km/h instead of 90 km/h on standard roads, 100 km/h instead of 110 km/h on expressways). This would provide a constant visual reminder of the specific speed restrictions for new drivers, helping them avoid unintentional speeding. Once the probationary period ends (three years, or two years with supervised driving), Waze could automatically update the driver’s profile to standard speed limits.

• Safer Route Options: Provide “easier” and less complex route options specifically for new drivers, avoiding high-traffic roads, challenging intersections, or accident-prone areas. This type of route would prioritize safety and simplicity, allowing probationary drivers to travel more confidently, even on longer journeys or in unfamiliar areas.
