Why get a class B driving license when there is a B197?

Hey,

My driving school has just offered me the opportunity to switch from a B license to a B197 driving license contract, as it can still take a long time until I can get my first driving lesson with a B license due to the traffic department being overloaded.

A week ago I was advised to switch my contract to the B197 because the waiting times there are much shorter.

With the B197, you are allowed to drive both manual and automatic and even take the test in automatic.

So I ask myself why one should even do the classic B when there seems to be such a simple and better option.

Is the B197 more expensive or does it have any disadvantages?

A decisive disadvantage of the new regulation: If you have acquired Class B with a key number of 197, you will receive the building classes when you extend your driving permit.BE,C1,C1E,C,D1,D1E,D or DEaAutomatic restriction–this concerns, for example, the driving licence for trucks or heavy campers.For all classes mentioned, the key number 78 is entered, provided that the tests have been filed with an automatic vehicle. To be able to drive these classes with manual transmission, the practicaldriving licenceon theVehicle with manual transmissionare stored.

I’m not happy

This is only true when you want to hire a transporter for a move or something. Then there are long faces

You have to know. You need at least ten driving hours with manual transmission and then have to make an observation ride with the driving instructor. Money -> window.

With a classic B driving licence, do I have the same problem?

The typical rental sprinters have 3.49 to and you can still drive them with the B guide ticket. There are also larger transporters – but not just

You got B, you got an extension. With the B197 you have to make the complete driver’s license again.

No, read the quote again.

Hey,

You can only drive automatic with the 197er, with B you can both.

Yes, but not directly after the exam, as is the case with B.

This is wrong. With B197 you can drive both. You can only not drive any additional classes on circuit that is the only restriction.

I taught it that way. Either that has changed, or my instructors have said that wrong. complain to them, not with me.

I don’t complain, but you could have informed yourself about a subject beforehand via Google. 😊 So everything is good! I just wanted to get you up to date. 😊 Nevertheless I wish you happy Christmas. 😊

No, I don’t think I’m concerned.
