Is driving becoming a luxury in Germany? For many young people in Germany, getting a driver's license has become almost unaffordable. Calls for reform are growing louder, but will it be enough?
Learning to drive in Germany these days requires more than just patience. It also takes a lot of money. According to Germany's largest automobile club, the ADAC, obtaining a driver's license can cost anywhere between €2,500 ($2,839) and €3,500 ( $4,111.62), in some cases, even more. For young people, still in education, it is becoming a luxury.
Although a driver's license obtained in one EU country is valid across the bloc, how you get there is still regulated nationally. Each country has its own driving school concept, which in turn determines the price.
In Germany, driving education is extensive and strictly regulated by law. Learners must complete a minimum of 14 theory sessions and 12 practical driving lessons. By contrast, Poland offers a less tightly regulated program of 26 theory and 30 driving lessons costing only between €600 ($ 705.00) and €900 ( $ 1,055.00).
