When you have completed the theory lessons and learned the questions, you can come to the driving school during office hours for the test.

Driving lessons

The practical driving training is structured according to a step-by-step plan:

1. Basic level: instruction and operation
2. advanced level: eco-friendly, anticipatory driving, eye training
3. performance level: difficult traffic situations, in-depth driving with foresight, vision training, braking skills
4. Special education driving ("special rides" / "compulsory hours"):
5. 5 x cross country drive
6. 4 x highway driving
7. 3 x driving in the dark / at dusk
8. Maturity and test level: completion of the training, preparation for the exam

As you can see, the special trips are only foreseen in the penultimate stage of training, when someone is already able to master difficult traffic situations! How many hours are needed for each level varies from person to person.

Vehicles

We train on a mercedes A-class and B-class (switch cars). for the first driving lesson you will get a small booklet from us, in which everything about the car is explained – for the preparation for the driving test you can read there everything important again.

To view the interactive operating instructions for the A class or B class you can use the mercedes-benz guides-download app.

driving license from 17

The driving license from 17 years old will be trained in the same way as for adults (see information above). The only difference is that two additional forms have to be handed in when applying at the office (you will receive these "annex 1" and "annex 2" when registering at the driving school). Up to the age of 18 years you are only allowed to drive with a registered accompanying person.

Can I also register my siblings as a companion?

>> if the siblings meet the conditions for the accompanying person, yes.

How many accompanying persons may I name?
