of next on dw cause series that looks at how tough it needs to get a driver's license. here in germany, i'll be back at the top of the file with we'll, we'll get the the

cool, cool breeze. but it's just me of the guessing your driving license in germany, it's harder than you might think. germans are famous around the world for their cars. so it's really no surprise that they're also we're known as very disciplined drivers. how difficult is it to get your driving license in germany? how expensive is it? how complicated is the whole process? what exactly makes germans such disciplined road users? and what else do you need to know about getting your drum and driving license? help in that sign that the

there are several steps you need to take before you can even think about getting behind the wheel. first, you need to pass an eye test. then you must complete the 1st aid course. so that you're prepared. if you get into an accident, you okay, the once you've done those, it's time to enroll after driving. sco german low dictates that you must attend at least 21 hours of theory classes on top of 12 practical special training drives to you to get a friend or a family member to teach you wrong. it has to be a qualified instructor. mm hm. right, that's a loss of sense. i got my license in scotland when i was 17 and i didn't need to

take an i test or do a 1st aid course. my dad gave me a lot of my lessons and i think i did maybe 10 official hours of lessons. so quite a big difference. there wasn't like in your countries. here, some facts and figures about germany. it has the highest number of registered passenger cars in the u, around 49000000 on ranks 3rd in europe for traffic injuries per 1000000 inhabitants . after austria and son marino. but germany has one of the lowest roads death rates . at $3.00 per 100000 inhabitants compared to $6.00, he replied, $10.00 in the us and $14.00 round point. and one of the lowest rates of drink driving down south africa in the us have the highest here in germany. you're like 0.5 milligrams per millimeter of floods. unless you cause any trouble on the streets that's around 2 small beers for the average man. but maybe just one for me,

although to be honest, i wouldn't advocate drinking and driving either way. okay, now we're ready to start driving. i'm heading to a lesson, but to get there, i need to get onto the german also boss, which is famous for having no speed limits. want to be able to find something alive . and so it makes me a little bit the driving and safety center. now it's time start driving less is i me thing a certified driving instructor to get. 2 done on everything that these lessons entail reading robert fleming has been teaching berliners to drive for 2 years. berlin is a notoriously difficult city to learn how to drive it. so he seems like the best person is to take me on a test drive. so what does the bulk

of driving lessons in germany actually look like? what's the general idea of, you know, do you have 12 hours of basic material followed by 2 hours of class specific material for category be the car driver's license? then comes to theory test. after that, you can start your practical lesson straight away, and then the special training drives begin and also special training drives up to the highway country roads and to night, driving noise, to sort of my thoughts. folks, when can and how expensive is it to learn how to drive and driving these things these days? i think you can or should expect to pay around 3500 euros on average for the bible . and the high school lesson is typically run from $900.00 to 2000 euros and total special trips a k. a night time dr. cost an extra $400.00 to $800.00 heroes. and the practical exam itself costs up to $250.00 euros with registration fees and theory lessons on

top of that, germany is $1.00 of the costs of plays. countries in the world to learn to drive in norway in switzerland are considered the world's most expensive. otherwise force isn't bureaus. while countries like india, thailand and russia are among cheapest. so do you think there's a reason why germans are known for being such disciplined road users? you think the test is quite complicated, but one does what is. first of all, i believe that the germans like regulations market and they, they like laws. they like to know how to behave the so if i have not. um, i think the other reason is that in germany in particular, people have respect for other people's property. but even more than that, respect for their own property. oh, how about i don't know if he's gonna be out for them. i don't, i can. we're on the autobahn again. so back to that know speed limit say i am very aware of the fact that on certain parts of the whole spawn, there is no speed limit. well, what's your thoughts on that?

yeah, the ultimate that there's no speed limit in germany comes up your time and again, that's it. yeah, there are speed limits in germany and there's a problem, the parts of a highway where most people think there's none. there was still a recommended to be made. and that is 130 kilometers per hour on each german highway estimate the weight of new ken dry faster. it's technically permitted and then you can drive it 400 kilometers an hour for all i care. but you're taking on a huge responsibility for yourself as well as for the other royal. another has had us that he's in fun and if you have an accident, you may no longer have any insurance coverage. since you were driving faster than the law permits, shut you under the best possible condition. i was just there for the fun. i think that's a good idea of the best thing about that. i think the city of berlin does have a bit of a reputation for having quite a high fail rate, doesn't it? yeah, yeah. so, so in the theory exams almost have failed the 1st time. the 3rd. okay. admittedly,

i did fail my theory the 1st time. okay, so somewhere between 40 and 50 percent fail on average in germany and put in a certain placement. very good. we've already nodded our head is today. and in the practical, it's a good 30 percent of people that you pass or fail the boys that say along the 1st test because of china. montenegro hungry, japan and australia have the toughest task requirements. while bangladesh, belarus, egypt, india, and mexico are among the easiest with minimal theory and practical experience to shop. well, thank you so much for teaching me how to drive in germany and what the verdict do. you think i would have passed it, but as i can do has to get the past, but just bear with me. there were 2 or 3 little things you could pay more attention to in the future. finding, waiting to find the bundle,

expect them back to me. i never showed up in the rest chip job. okay, perfect. thank you so much. i really appreciate it. thank you. soon. got it. okay, so you finally passed your test for right? that means you don't need to worry anymore, right? well, not quite. for 2 years, you're on probation. that means if you commit any violations during this time, you risk losing your license. okay, you're not really qualified driver, simple kind of so there are a lot of steps involved, but to be honest, it does make me feel safe for driving on the roads here. knowing that everyone around me clearly had to be a very good driver in order to be able to pass their test. how does the process compared to your countries? let us know in the comments of the for lynn has many boston clubs in really unusual locations. and this is one of that

even though it might look like it, i'm a volunteer with someone and one of the most confuse or for risk of guidance on it . and so on, i don't just enjoy a sunset thing to kind of also that perfect stopping point to explore buttons. the legendary nice to kind of opened in 2017. it's a rooftop terrace. be a god and the club all at once. hobbin sandbag was the one who opened it. he's been puddled fountains club scene since the 19. i think one of the big topics is professor natalie ization. it's getting more and more professionalized. we started in berlin with the fall of the berlin wall and we had like empty factories. you had not to pay any rent. the electricity was still on and you just could start to raise the front of the building was once the beginning of the city is collapsing, as we know it today. empty buildings abounded in east berlin. a lot of clocks were born off to autism, and others broke into basements and started to hockey. this,

for example, that is the one that club opened below the full levels of a department store and earned berlin. it's titled as capital off technology. before long tech, no had become massively popular. the low grade which began as a political demonstration in 1989 became a huge techno party with around 1500000 ravens attending during its peak in 1999. these days, bowlens clubs, a well famous like background, which opened in 2004 as the name of the world's best. not many times as far as the city's clubs seemed as we know, it's in danger. so it's in danger. you won't find a space at the subculture and like the accessibility for club culture is like more and more in danger. people like you have to pay many years to get in or 25 because everything is more and more expensive. and i think one of the core values is the accessibility in berlin for club culture. it's like way again,

who's done this because it's important that you bring people together like you know this truth and that, how can we understand each other if we don't get together and share good moments on this roof, this works pretty well. and the best thing from here, i can go straight to that and scroll and pop the all night. the the, the new will tell you. we are happy that we are back to the story. we have a getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to you for your,
