How to Get The Driving License in Germany

Having a driving license in Germany is not easy, especially if you have never had a driving license or your license doesn’t accept in this country, such as Indonesia, middle east, Australia and some country in the American continent and any other countries.

Why it is not easy?

Because the safety rules are number one in Germany, in all aspects the human life, so it is not just about road safety at all. The rules in this country which famous with their soccer teams are so complicated for the people who the first time come to this land. But after a couple of years they would understand the reasons why some rules are so annoying. Life in Germany is more safety compare to other countries in the world.

For example

Wearing the helmet is mandatory for all the road user because this is so important for safety. The police will give the fine or penalty if they found that you are not using the helmet on your head while you are driving a car or any other vehicle like motorcycle and bike.

The safety limit on the road is important too, because many pedestrians and road user are on the road, so we have to concern for other road user. There are special different limit depend on which area that you will pass. In the area where near the housing complex or inside the city is maximum 50km but on the highway or toll road is not any limitation for the speed limit. Why?

The car should be clean on the road, especially on the winter when there are some snows covering the cars, so the owner has to remove the snow first from the car before using it, otherwise it will falls when the cars are drove on the road. It would be dangerous to others.

And many other rules regarding the road safety.
