driver's license here in germany. i'm terry larson for me and all of us here at the w news. thanks for watching the why do having does not get drunk? why do grab a tasteful waves, squeeze all bodies. how much do we need per day? pounds, praying for help find the offices, get lost on dw science, and i'll take downtown on a pallet of cakes in the south. china sea shapes are here. what this is supposed to mean the front of the house of the global conflict of the decades of chinese extension is in the nation is resisting with

this course of a powerful incentive on september 20th. 2 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 renowned 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,

or 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 a 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. so you can get a friend or a family member to teach you wrong. it has to be a qualified instructor. mm hm. right. that's a lot 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 $49000000.00 on ranks 3rd in europe for traffic injuries per 1000000 inhabitants. after austria in san marino, but germany has one of the lowest road test rates at 3.3 per 100000 inhabitants. compared to 6.6, he replied, 10.8 in the us and 14.6 round point. and one of the lowest rate of drink driving tax sites, 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. ok,

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 like that. so it makes me a little bit the driving safety center. now it's time start driving lessons. i me thing a certified driving instructor to get the low done on everything that these lessons entail ready. robert fleming has been teaching berliners to drive for 2 years. berlin as 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 materials followed by 2 hours of class specific material for category be the card driver's license, then comes to c, re test and so after that you can start your practical less than straight away and then the special training drives begin and also special training drives up to the highway country roads and tonight, driving noise to sort of 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 label . and the tax collections is typically run from $900.00 to $2.00 stivers in euros and total special trips, a k nighttime drive 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 one of the costs of these countries in the world to large 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 and be at least divided not um, but 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, you know 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 the highway where most people think there's none. well, there was still a recommend got to be planted, 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 is what you're taking on a huge responsibility for yourself as well as for the other royal. another does add us to another using fund and if you have an accident, you may no longer have any insurance coverage since you were driving faster than the law permits out to 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 exam for almost half 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 when this item placement. very good. we've already nodded our head is today and in the practical, it's a good 30 percent of people that pass or fail the boys that fail on the 1st attack because of china, montenegro hungry, japan and australia from the toughest task requirements. while bangladesh, belarus, egypt, india, and mexico are among the easy as 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. by the way, things was fund bundle, expect them back to me. i never wished much with 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. so okay, you're not as truly 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 the the lynn has many bus and clubs in really unusual locations and this is one of that.

even though it might not look like it, i'm a volunteer with someone and one of the most confused, a full list of guidance on it and so on. i don't just enjoy sunset things you think . i kind of also that perfect stuffing points to explore balance legendary not to get kind of opened in 20. so see it's a rooftop terrace. be a god and to come up all at once compensated back was the one who opened it. he's been puddled felons club scene since the 19 i think one of the big topics is professor natalie is ation. it's getting more and more professionalized. we started in berlin with the fall of the berlin wall and we had like the factories you had not to pay any rent. the electricity was still on and you just could start to raise the front of the boat and war. once the beginning of the city is collapsing, as we know it today. empty buildings are founded in east berlin. a lot of clocks were born off to autism, and others broke into basements and started to copy this. for example, it is the one that club opened below the full levels of

a department store and earned berlin. it's title as capital off tech. no. before long tech know had become massively popular the last right, which began as a political demonstration in 1989 became a huge techno party with around one point. 5000000 ravens attending during its peak is 1999. these days, bowlens clubs, a well famous like back hunt, which opened in 2004 as the name of the world's best. not many times as far as the city slough 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 $20.00 euro to get in or $25.00 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 buttons? 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 check 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 enter the conflicts own with tim sebastian. as the warning ukraine brings ever more death and destruction key european officials fail moscow is now preparing for contact with the west. i guess this week goes along with that view. these tougher roku heads of
