Yes, I passed my driver's license for the first time. In the German Armed Forces I was allowed to take a second lap of honor for the truck driver's license [50 METERS BACKWARDS WITH TRAILER, unfortunately, trailer was thrown off course twice]
Nope🥴
Yes 45 minutes of hell in a 1969 Morris 1000 manual with no syncromesh on 1st and 2nd gear, a hill start outside the office . if you've never done a hill start in a manual car its requires practice
You ask :D I don't drink orange or apple juice, because it's only good to suddenly raise my blood sugar. It's a real ultra-processed nuclear bomb. You have to forget about that kind of rubbish. Drink water or eat real fruit, but not too much of it. As a nurse, you should be aware of that. No offense..
I did pass. I did it a long time ago and in a rural area. I just went out to the highway, drove some km, then on a parking space where I needed to reverse into a spot. That's it 🙂. The other student did the way back to the driving school.
In Europe the 2 tests are divided out of 2 reasons:
1) the written test is all the theory of driving. You fail this one, you are not even allowed to go to the 2nd part.
2) the practical test is to show how you abide by the rules, how confident you are while driving and the rest is in the video 🤗
Other mandatory points you have to do before you are allowed to the practical test, is an examination by an eye-expert (perhaps you need glasses when you were not aware of it 🤷♀️) and to follow a certified first-aid-course.
Take care - Europe ⚘
Plus, first Aid course
@@martinaklee-webster1276 no first aid course or eye test in the UK, not all European countries operate by the same set of rules.
And in Sweden and I think the other Nordic countries you have to have done a run on a skidpan (well that the word I get is English for 'halkbana') , so we have some experience of driving on slippery roads.
@@cynic7049 it is the same in Denmark
Erste Hilfe Kurse in den USA ist, wo man lernt 911 anzurufen!
I got my US driver's license in Los Angeles. On Thursday I had the idea, on Friday I took the test.
That would never have been possible in Germany, the theory test alone is on a completely different level. I studied for weeks for the German exam.
In my country i had a month of theory lessons, i took the test, then i had a month of driving a car with the instructor, then i have had the practical test.
Bro i living in Poland a I studied for theory and practice more then 2 months xD
Thats also why there are so many accidents and bad drivers in the US
In Germany you drive 1 hour, not only 5 minutes. If you make any error, the test is effective immediately failed. Long word "Geschwindigkeitsanpassung" only means "Adjustment of speed" or litterally "Speedadjustment".
You are a funny girl! Of course people are nervous when they make a drivers license test. They usually payed around $2000 to get to the point where they have the practical test. If they fail and have to repeat it, it will cost them another several hundred. And don't be fooled by the video - this test is very strict. Every little mistake is noticed, and if you screw up on a roundabout, they don't take you to the next one to try again. And they don't care why you make a mistake, if you make one thats it.
There is a option to only drive automatics to make a licence, but then you get a limitation stamped into the license and you are only allowed to drive automatics. This limits what cars you may buy, especially in the cheaper segment, which are mostly manual.
Btw., you are not doing the test in your own car, or that of your parents or so. The car is owned by the driving school you have used, and it has a 2nd set of pedals, extra mirrors ect., so the driving instructor can intervene and avoid a crash if you screw up.
The fastest fail, in the UK, was the chap waiting for the examiner outside the test centre. He got impatient and sounded the horn, the examiner came out and failed him for sounding the horn while stationary.
lmfao, that must suck :D guess he learned the lesson tho 🤣
Brits got some balls
lol what a jerk. Anyway, isn't it illegal to let student into car without examiner? Sounds like instructor should be sued. Also exam doesn't start until dashcam is on and you both introduce yourselves. Again, sounds like massive fault of instructor.
wow, thats sound actually very "german" haha, didnt expect that from UK. I did my test in Germany where i reside. its very very strict.
here in the netherlands you have 2 exams, 1 for automatic and 1 for manual. if you take the manual exam you can also drive a car with an automatic transmission, but that is not allowed the other way around. so you either take the exam for manual or for automatic. here most people still drive manual cars. people see manual driving more as giving you more control over your car.
Same in Germany, although this is about to be changed. With electric cars becoming more and more popular, it is clear that the end of manual transmissions is only a matter of time. So even if you did your test on an automatic, it now only requires some additional driving lessons to be allowed to drive stickshift. No formal driving test required any more.
I think the biggest reason for driving manual is because cars with automatic transmission are lot more expensive to buy. And the road taxes are way higher because they are heavier, the heavier the car, the higher the road tax.
Why do we look on the right? Nobody will come from the right side. Why do everybody think we have left traffic?? Only Great britain, Ireland, Malta and Cyprus do left traffic in europe
You forgot Australia
@@__TK___ Sorry in europe i thought because this video was about driving tests in europe esp. Germany 😉
40% of countries in the world drive on the left.
@@dib000 This video is about driving tests in europe esp. Germany not the world so my comment is pointed on europe
There is 68 countries tha drive on the left
In English you need a sentence to describe something, in German one word is enough. Therefore, some words are a bit longer.😃
But in the end it's mostly longer then the german version including all the space between. 😉
Because in the USA drivers are poorly trained both theoretically and practically, many Americans also drive so badly.
Oh wow! When were you here to experience it first hand? Sorry that was your impression of us.
@@FavourInternational Part of my family lives in Hawaii and Pennsylvania. And yes, I experienced it myself
@@FavourInternational By the way, it can cost 2,000 euros to get the driverslicence. The tests cost money, the driving lessons cost money. So the motivation is high to pass
Regarding the automatic vs "stick shift". In Sweden (can't speak for the rest of Europe) the driving test is normally done using a stick shift car, but it is possible to take the test using an automatic. However, then your drivers license will only be valid for automatics, so you won't be allowed to drive a stick
Same in the UK
Same in The Netherlands.
Pretty much the same here
It’s a EU thing so it would be the same in all countries.
In Europe, in general, you do not take the practical test in your own car. A special car is used for all. The car is usually modified to have pedals in the front passenger seat as well so that the instructor can take some charge in case of need (like breaking).
Actually in Ireland, you have the option to use your own car for your test. For lessons the instructor will use their own car which has the clutch and brake on the passengers side but my instructor permitted me to use my own car for lessons after the EDT lessons which are 12 mandatory lessons we must take and I had the option to use my car for the test
You can use your own car in Lithuania. You save some money by doing that. Also if you are disabled, you basically have to bring your own car, because examination centers don't have adapted cars.
The driving test is normally performed in a car with dual controls, ie, with a second set of pedals in the passenger foot space. Thus every candidate has to adjust things.
Here in Germany there is no general speed limit on the Autobahn. It would be kinda dangerous going there with the practical experience from driving a tractor on a farm, you might encounter cars passing by with 150mph or even more. Not to mention driving such a fast car yourself. Also traffic is much denser over here than at least in the rural parts of the US, and streets are usually narrower.
BTW: The village with the long name is in Wales.
The long name of the village is not in Scotland, it's in Wales😁😅

Automatics are generally less reliable than "stick shifts", often require more maintenance and in some cases are more wasteful of fuel. They certainly don't make a car go faster, although the actual automatic gear changes can be slightly quicker. Most don't allow a car to be towed and can't facilitate a car being "bump started" when the battery is discharged to a low voltage.
Less reliable ? It depends on the car. Not if you buy a Toyota. 14 years young this year.
More maintenance ? No, once a year.
More wasteful of fuel ? Maybe but no wonder if the automatic gets a 1.6 127hp engine instead of the standard 1.3 75hp engine.
Automatic gear changes can be "slightly" quicker ? I guess so, that's why I leave everybody behind after the red light jumps on green. Also I have to leave some space if there is a car in front of me or I would smash right into it.
Don't know about the towing or jump starting.
I mantain my manual gearbox last year and car is from 2007,a Ford Mondeo.
I have also a Mercedes with automatic gearbox.I feel like I have a handicap when I drive it and I have to maintain every year or every 60.000 km...
@@radugheorghe1803 Still in 60s-70s, automatic in Italy was considered handicapped people stuff, and until 2017 manual was mandatory for driving test.
Driving tests are more difficult in order to make sure we are good enough drivers. In the US the "tests" are so easy, they basicaly give driving licences like candies. You end up with a lot of crazy people who think they own the road.
You should watch a UK mock driving test! There are a few UK driving school channels on CZcams that would make a really interesting comparison!
The UK driving test for cars is pretty easy, the tests for mopeds and motorcycles is a real pain and very expensive.
did my driving license about a decade ago in germany.

Life's fine
Driving tests are so hard, because irrational, emotional human beings are moving more than one metric ton of steel at a velocity of more than 100 miles per hour. If you don't put a tight net of rules, boundaries and limitations around them, bad things will happen.
Driving is a privilege, not a right. Privileges need to be earned, and are not handed out.
The driver's license test is so tough so that we don't also have to mourn 40,000 deaths on the road like the US.
If you can get your driver's license in a gumball machine, you can't expect any driving skills, can you?
in Poland they will ticket the hell out of you for jaywalking. We are one the few countries where even at 4am on completely empty road people will usually wait for green light to pass
You're on a roll with the video's!! 🔥 drivers' license in Europe are no joke. I failed my written test 4 times and cost me a shit ton of money. I passed the practical test in 1 go tho.
How? I passed it with flying colours 30/30 correct answers within 2 minutes!
But something crucial is missing. Namely what the whole thing costs and what basic requirements must be met.
Here is a video about the costs as a whole.
How to get a DRIVING LICENSE in GERMANY - A step-by-step guide for Expats this Video is from Simple Germany
4:17 that can't happen, the practical driving test is done with the driving school car, you can't do it in you car lmao
USA: 332 million people - 40,200 traffic deaths per year.
Europe: 749 million people - 18,800 traffic deaths per year.
Why, German/European driving license...
10:50 classical example of a "severe mistake" right at the beginning of a test: Failing to look over your left shoulder before you hit the accelerator for the 1st time. Test over after less than 10 seconds.
@3:05 Not sure how it is in the rest of Europe, but in Norway you can't drive tractor or a four wheeler on your farm unless you have the appropriate license for it.
You'll see a lot of 15/16 year olds that grow up on a farm take the tractor license instead of a moped one that some do.
@4:25 The car you use for the test is the driving instructors car as it has a second set of pedals. You basically rent this for the duration of the test.
You can't do the exam in a private car without the extra pedals and mirrors for the instructor/examiner.
In Germany you can drive everything without a licence on your own or your familys land. For example even your private street from the house to the main public road comes.
In Sweden you are only allowed to do that in fenced of areas. And in most case you need a permit to fence of an area since that would hinder public access ("allemansrätten").
@@cynic7049 Right, same here. Closed tracks are different.
You can obtain a driver's license with an automatic gearbox. BUT then you can only drive with an automatic, so not with a manual. If you obtain a driver's license with a manual, then you can choose and you can therefore drive with an automatic. This is stated on your driver's license, so do not cheat ;-)
Trams aren't the same as trains - they drive on railroad tracks, but they have to obey the normal rules of the road. They don't have general priority. Not in Germany anyhow, other countries' mileage may vary.
There are some special rules regarding trams - most notably, they are usually to be overtaken on the right side, and, most importantly, when the approach a stop, you MUST NOT overtake them and you need to yield to any pedestrians crossing the road to enter or leave the tram. THis is different from buses, as buses typically stop on the far right on the road, while trams in some cities stop in the middle.
This is of course not an issue in a normal German driving test, unless you happen to live in a city that does have trams. I didn't at the time of the test and the nearest city that does have trams would have been far away, so trams were obviously not an issue in my test.
You can not simply apply one set of driving test rules to Europe, each country has its own rules
Not exactly true. Rules are almost same in EU, different countries mostly only have different speed limits and some additional laws, but core rules are the same. In UK it's a bit different, because it's not EU, but even then, rules are really similar, the biggest difference is different line marking, driving on other side of road, speed limits.
Speed limits also differ inside the UK for learner drivers.@@MJ-uk6lu
It would appear that a lot has changed over the last decades. I did my licence in 1994 and we didn't have this electronic system or written feedback yet. I was told by the instructor what was good and what was not so good and received my licence straight away. (It had already been ready with photograph and all the relevant data except the date of the driving test, which was then inserted manually. This was possible back then as it was a paper document. They switched to plastic a few years later).
That electronic thing is strict as hell ... My driving instructor told me that the current gen also listens to the car telemetrie data and sensors. One of his pupils failed the driving exam because he closed the drivers door with too much force. The device reported a noise disturbance issue and the exam failed immediatly. So he had not even a chance to start the motor.
In Denmark you start with a written test it takes about 1 hour, if you pass you are allowed to take the driving test. If you drive a car with automatic gear you are only allowed to drive with automatic gear and not with a gear stick. If you take the test in a car with a gear stick you can also drive an automatic gear.
8:32 I believe you mean Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch - which is in Wales.
Jaywalking is introduced by the lobbyists of car manufacturers. Instead of training car drivers the pedestrians were send a way from the road. In the Netherlands a car driver is always responsible for the safety of the more vulnerable road users. ( pedestrians, bikes, mopeds, kids etc)
people here are not fined for crossing the road because it is the driver's responsibility, thus our attention and focus being important. Pedestrians are the most vulnerable so they are protected. Also big difference in the US and Europe : US' roads are made for cars, European roads are made for everyone and people will always be allowed to walk on the sides of the road (even if there is no sidewalk) except on highways of course.
Did you say, your test was around only 5 minutes?? In germany you get tested for 30-45 min, (if they didn't changed it in the last 20 years, when I pass my test).
4:05 You're not allowed to drive on public roads before your finish your practical test. Also, the test is usually performed in the driving school's car you practiced on. So someone else drove it before you.
If you're not allowed to drive on public roads, then how the hell do y'all learn how to drive a car?
Not true for Norway. The person next to you needs to meet certian requirements.
@@davey2487 You learn with a certificed instructor and are only allowed on roads whenever with him/her.
@@davey2487 You take driving lessons with an licensed instructor next to you. Driving schools have special cars, with another set of pedals on the passenger side, so the instructor can take over control if needed. You fail the practical test immediately when he needs to do that during the test.
You can do your test and lessons in your own car in the UK, lessons are not compulsory to sit a car test in the UK and you can drive a car while displaying L plates as long as you have a passenger who holds a full car licence.
In Greece, also you have 2 stages. 1st sings and hypothetical scenarios in a pc on a exam center with others (if you fail you start all over), 2nd the drive situation. In 2nd phase, you go where the instructors are and they give a modified vehicle (insede cameras etc), first you have to explain the mechanics of the vehicle and show them parts of the engine and respond on how to check the vehicle and then, you start driving with two instuctors. Both judge you and the camera feedback. If you pass it then you get your licence and for a year i think you are obligated to have the N sign as a sticker on back glass (New Driver).
In the UK there are also two car exam possibilities. There is the standard car test (taken with a manual transmission) and then there is a test that was brought in so that certain disabled drivers could drive. It requires an automatic transmission and is restricted to that form of transmission.
Random info: the german theory driving test has over 1500 questions... and you have to know them all.
... and no, if they don't like the shape of your left ear tip they WILL make you fail. I withnessed it by myself in over 20 cases.
Another random fact: with the B-licence for your car you also earn the L- licence for tractors, harvesters and co.
You are not allowed to drive a car with a trailer for that you need an extra licence.... BUT as long as you drive a tractor you can even drive double trailers!
mit L nur ein Anhänger bis 25 Km/h
Well, before the test you still have at least 18 driving hours to practice your skill.
Hi Favour, after asking about the length of training in th US and others commenting on you working in Europe, I did a little digging to see about registering as a nurse in the UK, using informaion found on the NMC ( Nursing and Midwifery Council) website. From what I could see (happy to be corrected if somone else knows differently) you would have to pass a competency test in order to practise as a nurse in the UK which includes two tests, one on communication and one on nursing practise. The website also stated that even though the UK is no longer part of the EU, certain nurses with EU qualifications can work in the UK without having to pass this test. To me that suggests that you would maybe also need to pass some type of test to work in the EU. Perhaps other nurses out there in the EU can add further information regarding this
only UK is driving left (wrong side)
rest of europe is driving right side of the road
Also Ireland and Malta.
And the British Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and Cyprus
The English are still prepared for the next jousting tournament. Or highway robber.
4:29
It's illegal to drive up in your own car here.
You'll drive in especially modified training cars where the tester *can* break if you screw up, where everything is monitored etc.
You can take your test in your own car in Britain.
@@cerdicw9998 Same in Belgium, but there are a few rules so your car will also be checked and can be failed. Which doesn't happen with a driving school car.
@@flitsertheo Yes, that sounds exactly the same!
I passed my test in the uk 2017 .. no fancy tech, we had a clip board too. The manoeuvres we had to learn were; reverse bay parking and forward bay parking, reversing around a corner, parallel parking and reverse parallel parking, 3 point turn in the road, and an emergency stop. Just one of those get chosen at random. And then a possibility of doing an emergency stop also. Not all tests do an emergency stop I think they ask every so often, I was asked to do both the emergency stop and forward bay parking.. the one I found easiest 🙌🏻. We have a theory test and practical test. I did around 36 hours of practical lessons spread over about 8 months (I gave birth inbetween that time so took some time out) and I passed both tests 1st time.. which isn’t easy to do over here so I was very proud of myself 👍🏻
Taking the license in Norway can be a lengthy and costly affair. Going to driving school - you need the following modules (from memory):
Traffic theory - rules, laws, signs, etc. (including laws regarding insurance, driving with a trailer, vehicle classification).
Vehicle knowledge - how to vehicle works, how to check tiers (and laws on min thread depth and such), oil, seatbelt adjustments, mirrors, safety inspection, etc.
First aid and accident management - what to do if you are in an accident, or are arriving at an accident (also CPR).
Practical city driving - including various parking, roundabouts, lane placement, intersections, caution around pedestrians (especially children and busses that have stopped)
Practical rural and highway driving - overtaking, lane usage, dangers of long drives (speed blindness, getting sleepy), etc.
Nighttime driving - proper usage of lights, demonstration of difficulty seeing pedestrians in the dark and against oncoming lights. This module can only be done when it is completely dark outside. If it is summertime (and thus never really dark) - you must wait to do this module until fall.
Ice and snow driving - you get to drive the car on an actual slippery track and get a feel for how the car handles when you lose grip, etc.
Then the exam which consists of two parts:
Theory test - must be taken at the traffic station. About 30-40 questions. I believe max 5 errors allowed to pass. Up to 70% fail this on their first try.
Practical test - if you passed the theory test you must do a practical test where you drive and a "censor" from the traffic department sit in the passenger seat. Typically about 30-40 minutes of driving. The censor will direct you where to drive, typically from the traffic station, through a city, to the highway, then back again to the traffic station.
The IDP is just burocratic thing, you don't have to made any test.
We need to adjust the mirrors because for the test you cannot use your car, but the driving school's one.
I suggest you don't drive in Germany.
Suggestion denied.
Cos you’re driving a lethal weapon and a 16 year old in the states can get a license with relative ease
America at its best. Juice out of plastic Cup at Home 🤣🤣🤣
Best anti-theft in the us, get a manual :D
Here in Sweden you need pass bouth the theoretical written test and the practical test within an certain time to get the card. If to long time between you need take bouth again. The test look similar to the german from what I can see. I was very nervous indeed. But well prepared and I was over 40 years old.
Only in the UK and Ireland they drive in the other side of the road. The rest of Europe drive the same side as in the US.
You forgot about Malta and Cyprus
They tell you if you pass or fail at the moment you finish the test, the written feedback on the mail (we don't have in Italy) is just something more!
About the licence, in Italy the examiner has already printed on the plastic card at the moment of the test (and a scissor), if you pass, he/she give it to the candidate, if you fail he/she cut the card (because it has the issuing date and expire date related to that day)
That just seems like a waste of plastic (if they fail). 😂
If you need to worry about the clutch, then you are not ready to pass the driving test because you don't know how to drive. By the time you get to the driving test, controlling the car must be fully automated. You don't think about the clutch, brakes or gas pedal, and you don't think about gears, just like you don't think about which foot moves next when you are running. Those are things that you have fully automated. While driving you should only be concerned about the environment around you, i.e. other vehicles, pedestrians, conditions of the road, etc.
If you are still having to think about how to steer the car, you have not yet learned how to drive, so you should not be taking the exam yet.
One of the other participants came to the practical test in his fathers car. He was driving. The examiner called the cops and the guy got a nice fine and wasn't allowed to take the test for some years. 😅
One important fact of driving here in Europe is, we study more for a driving test, so that we don’t drive like complete maniacs. Also a driving test has stuff like: driving when it’s dark, driving in rain and other stuff like this. Also most cars in Europe are manual cars (don’t ask me why I don’t know why)
In the past, cars with automatic were more expensive and less efficient
The motorcycle tests in the UK require a 3rd test called CBT before the rider is allowed to ride on public roads and doing their written and manual tests to obtain a full licence for motorcycles
17:42 This is to prevent learners killing their testers.
You will not drive to the test with moms car, you are not allowed to drive without a license. You learn on the car from the driving school with an instructor from your school.
Hi from the UK 👋 🇬🇧 did my driving test in the 1970s in the British army in Germany 🇩🇪 we had 3 weeks in the class room then had to sit a written test that you had to pass before even getting behind the wheel of a vehicle
Many nurses in Denmark travel to Norway , good salery v in Denmark , so maybe there ? 😃 like your videos 👍
Got my first practive drive yesterday... the monitor said i had good sterring for a beginner
Congrats!! 🎉
Roundabouts are easy, just have to giveaway to the left as your about to enter. They have roundabouts all over the world because they're sensible, save time, reduce accidents and save fuel.
Driving an Automatic in Ice or Snow conditions is so unsafe you can't select the gears you need,
You need to drive in the highest gear on the verge of stalling to prevent slipping on poor condition roads.
you cant do this in some Automatic.
Most automatics have a way to manually select the gear
one note though, all of europe drives on the right, just UK and ireland drive on the left ^^
Funny that you guys learn reversing looking backwards. We have to do it only using mirrors, Which is a lot easier if you have to squeeze in small spots imho.
german only sounds hard hitting on paper, the way we pronounce the words is mostly smooth, of course there are some words that sound a bit more weird than others
In the UK our car tests are too easy (not European anymore) we even have 3 motorcycle licence levels. CBT training 2 years valid. Then A1 (125cc) A2 (500cc) A (any cc) all with 2 different tests slow control and in traffic. Can only gain the upper level by older age.
It is an advantage t get driving license for manual transmission with stick. You think it is more difficult but when you
learn it then it will be as a second nature and I like to have more control over the car especially in winter condition with snow and ice
on the road
Yes, I did take a normal license in Sweden but almost always drives automatics. Thing is to learn to drive an automatics if you drive a manual takes minutes, it take a heck of a lot longer in the other direction.
You are not allowed to take your drivers test with personal vehicle here atleast in Sweden. That's why adjusting the seat, mirrors etc is a requirement.
Also each examiner is different, my test was pretty chill I never had to do parallel parking or an under the hood inspection like some people have had to do so the tests do vary from person to person
10:25 You don't usually know beforehand what is really going to be tested, but you can safely assume it's the stuff most practiced during driving lessons. If you fail, the official will ask you to park the car immediately and apply for another trial.
If you are a nurse in Norway the salary start around 5500 US dollar and you work 7,5 hour a day. 37,5 hour a week and have free in the weekend. You have free from work all the holy days with full salary. You have free to be with your family in Christmas and Easter, You have 5 weeks holiday with full salary as normal or little more at summer when most people take 3 weeks holidays. Of course, if you be sick, you call in that you take a day home. If you be sick many days after each other you go to doctor that never cost more then 35 USD and stay home to you are healthy with same salary as when you was working. If you are sick over 1 year i think your salary go down to 60% of your normal salary. You also get a free health and pension. You also get over 1 year to be home with your new born baby with full salary. You also get some money from the state if you should have a baby. I think that was around 6000 USD last year but i am not sure. How much do you get from a work as a nurse in USA?
Its called the practical test because we have also a theoretical test. The theoretical test is a multiple choice test about all the driving rules. You have to pass the theoretical test bevor you get driving lessons.
Btw the practical test takes a minimum of 45 (forty five) minutes.
There is it, the Orange- and Applejuice question again. 😀
I like mild Orangejuice too, but I drink it infrequently, because I get pyrosis (heartburn). I drink applejuice more often, for several reasons, the cost for example , 1,5 Liter apple spritzer just cost 19ct. + Pfand (deposit) for the plactic-bottle (you gete the depositmoney back, if you bring it back to grocerystore or any shop with recyclingmachine. Why is it so lowpriced? Germany is a apple-country (Ok, I overact a little bit) ^^ and I like the taste too.
tests over in england are usually 1hr long minimum
One of the things that I love is that in America, you can be doing all sorts of stuff behind the wheel, (eat, do your makeup, talk on the phone, etc.), and not get ticketed, but you get so surprised that Europeans are not ticketed for jaywalking. We get our tickets mailed to us if we are guilty of the slightest traffic violation, let us have this one 😂
In Belgium it's mandatory to use crossing points if they are less than 20 m away.
I remember the local police posting an officer at a busy traffic light who made it his duty to scold any pedestrian not using the zebra crossing.
Talking on the phone whilst driving ain't legal in the US either but I get your overall point.
Mango Juice.
ps. Gearbox is faster than an automatic car and i had to do the practical test twice.
3:32
Hours?
Here in Norway we're talking many *days*.
That place (Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch) is in wales. The Welsh, Scot’s or the Irish wouldn’t be happy with that mix up lol
And now in the uk pedestrians now have the priority if they are walking on/crossing the road.
In the UK there are about 10,000 roundabout
you mean the small town in wales :-) but in german we have words like "rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz" ^^ germans like to put words together to give them a specific meaning^^
Then they make an abbreviation of that long word and then they put the abbreviations together in a new long word. Etc ...
In Slovakia when you have practical (driving) test....in the car with you there are also your instructor and policeman....so yeah little bit more stressful
Roundabouts - come on. Are you Homer or was it Marge Simpson in GB? I'm driving a bike and pass each day two of them... ergo it can't be even half as difficult like you make it 🙂
btw no practikal test without a passed theoretical one!
If you learn in a manual then the clutch pedal and gears should not be an issue. 95% of all cars in the UK are manual...Automatic is super lazy imho. If i tried to drive in the USA then i would still want a stick shift...its just what im used to.
You don't drive your car/parent's car for this but a car that your driving school provides. So - no, you have to adjust everything anyway :)
The City with the long Name is in Wales.
That's why not stuck on the left lane as should be for overpassing
Because you mentioned the long german words: German words can be combined to make up new words and give them an extensive meaning. For example in english I would have to say: "glass bottle cap" (cap of a bottle made from glass) while in german you could make it one word: "Glasflaschendeckel" (direct translation "glassbottelcap")
And then we can give it an extensive meaning by adding more details: glassbottlemetalcap (german: glasflaschenmetallverschluss) or even more detailed: "glassbottlemetalcapopener" (german: glasflaschenmetallverschlussöffner) (an opener for a cap made of metal on a glass bottle) and so on... You could do it quiet endlessly to describe something more detailed.
German is a Lego language. You can connect concepts with each other.
Great distances among towns and villages, need of (also very young) people allowed to drive tractors and threshers in rural states, cheap fuel, large roads and a non-capillary public transport network made USA a car-friendly country. In Europe it' s the opposite, and so getting driving license isn' t encouraged.
A humane alternative to bureaucratic Europe
the village is in Wales!
Same as here in Czech republic, where i live. Hard as .... :D
It’s wales. The village with the long name
I belive the town you refer to is in Wales actually
Driving cart in Germany 2 500 - 3 000 € .
Automatic gearbox is nice to drive in the city. But manual are way beter and FASTER then auto
The long place name is in Wales , but you had a good try LOL
I was lucky to pass the theory on first go and practice on the second, but wife took the test 5 or 6 times.
No mercy.
Oh u will need to adjust the mirrows as u use the driving schools car lol
They forgot to mention this
