Driving licence: Exhibition - from 17 years
Young people in Germany are already allowed to drive cars and trucks up to 3.5 t at the age of 17, as well as cars with trailers, if they have successfully passed the driving licence test. However, driving is only permitted until the 18th birthday if accompanied by an adult – otherwise the driving licence, fine and an extension of the probationary period are threatened.
Process flow
The application must be submitted in writing by the driving school or personally by the applicant person. If suitable, the competent body shall issue the test order to the competent technical inspection body.
A so-called examination certificate is issued by the competent authority via the driving licence, which is used in Germany to prove the right to drive up to 3 months after the age of 18. This test certificate must be carried on all journeys. The certificate lists the persons designated for accompaniment, so it is not allowed to drive with any number of different accompanying persons.
