Thanks for the good read. I've often heard what a PITA it is to get a German DL. What the article doesn't cover is how easy it is to lose it. I understand they're even more stringent when it comes to citations and especially DUIs. All of this underscores why they get no-speed-limit highways (even if those are getting more rare). Driving is a privilege, and Germans clearly understand that.

That's a very good post. What happens when you lose it is even worse. I have 2 German friends who got DUIs (One deserved, the other a set-up over soccer of course) It took one guy 12 years and over $15,000 in fees/lawyers etc to get his back. The other 8 years and about $8,000. One got to work on a scooter (You see a lot of older people on them...now you know why) and the other had a 100 K commute via train every day. Somebody should post something about dealing with the TUV...I hear it's as bad or worse than the driving license process!

| Uhh...maybe there wouldn't be as many azz-ho#@ drivers on the road and insurance premiums would go down.

Imagine having no license in Southern Cal....ugg.
