Got your driver's license in America and you're not allowed to drive in Germany. Why is that?

Hey,

What would happen if you drove a car in Germany if you got a driver's license in America (which isn't valid in Germany)? That's actually absolutely stupid. A driver's license is a driver's license.

Will the car be impounded? What happens? Or will you be fined, and will you be allowed to continue driving because you have one in America?

The background is that you want to prevent a “tourism”.

Is enough states that are spread where corruption, which is worth a license from Somalia can everyone think.

A driver’s license from an annoyed third country can be cancelled if you have lived there DAUERHAFT and then let him UMSCHREIBEN, with a check.

Driving license is not driving license, which in the USA is different and much easier and contains quite different things. Moreover, the German road system is quite different. we do not have a speed limit, but the Amis can turn right at Red ampeln trz

The info is generally not correct. The U.S. licences are sometimes recognized, which depends on the U.S. states. However, the minimum age required in Germany must be reached.

You should try to exchange it for Germany and Europe at the driving station. You will find out what conditions are necessary.

This is driving without a driving permit and can be punished with fine or even prison. You’ll get another lock and you can’t make a driver’s license in Germany.

You can get an international license in the USA. This must then be recognised at least temporarily in accordance with the international agreement on motor vehicles. Recognition can be refused if you have not reached the minimum age required for the vehicle class in Germany.
