In today’s episode, titled, “Driving in Germany”, we delve into the world of the sacred car and how to best navigate the streets of Germany. We’re your hosts, Kim and Suzanne, both hailing from the UK and living in Germany for many years. Take a listen to this episode, where we share our valuable insights, anecdotes and personal stories to assist fellow foreigners with thriving in Germany.

We talk about:

• Is your driving licence even valid in Germany?
• Roundabouts, traffic lights and the “right before left” rule
• As a driver, beware! Pedestrians, cyclists, and trams.
• If you’re an “out-of-towner”
• Different rules for pedestrianised, residential roads
• Getting a friendly German to explain how to navigate your town
• Alternatively, have a couple of confidence-building driving lessons to learn any different rules that you might not have back home
• The price of doing driving lessons and a test in Germany
• The rule for foreigners who are staying for more than a year in Germany
• Parking in cities and residential areas
• Fines and points on your licence
