German drivering license
Hello,
I'm a Belgian law student and I'm currently writing a paper in which I compare the regulation to get a driving license in several European countries.
Can anyone help me to understand the bigger picture of the German system?
I speak Dutch, so I understand parts of the website, but it's not enough.
So: From what I understand: at 16,5 years you can start in a "fahrschule". If you obtain your license before the age of 18, you can only drive accompanied with an adult of 30.
Is this the only way to get a license?
I mean: are the lessons obligatory? If so, what is the minimum duration?
And if you go & do your practical exam: can you only do this with a car from the fahrschule? Or also with you own car, accompanied by a parent,...
Thank you!
Julie
