Turns out I was driving illegally for the last few months, without knowing it . Also, I probably got lucky for being pulled over in a tourist area and the guy who got pulled over in front of me was doing a massive scandal, or else they might not have let me off so easily.
I had applied to change my driving license to a French one, as legally required. Now, in times of covid, this is all done online, so, in theory, easy. There's a disclaimer that it may take more than the standard 6 weeks or what due to the situation (it did), but also a disclaimer that you won't be liable for any of their delays, so I had the file, proof of aplication and all that and thought I was good to go. And therein lies the beauty of the system. Yes, you can overshoot your permit's availability date due to their delays etc. But not directly or implicitly. They have to send you a temporary permit, but the sending of that temporary permit, being part of the whole application process, may also be subject to delays?.
Guess I'll have to look for a high-powered e-bike. No trotinette for me, they're fun as rentals, but I don't see myself riding one daily .
