Was ist ein gutes Anfangsauto?

A driving instructor of our users here – but not my one, whose opinion I can share well, said once after passing the driving test:

You can now legally participate in road traffic – you will learn to drive in the next seven years.

So extreme this statement is – it is not quite wrong (word play has not been intended but has turned out so).

If you weren’t in touch with real traffic for a few years (or with your bike in big city traffic), please take a cheap ride with as much as one or maybe even a half years of TÜV. No matter how crazy the car is – it doesn’t take you from A to B and it doesn’t bother you if you’re scraped somewhere along the neighbor fence, on the board or on the garage wall. The damages, the other ones on your car or the damages you could cause yourself will not hurt so much.

Here to the explanation:

You will probably not have to have seven years… after three days I had my first and after about 5 months after passing examination my last correct teaching lesson due to lightness and only potential material damage. Once a cat ran over my way – you wanted to avoid and landed in neighbor’s fence. End of the song?: Rebuild neighbor’s fence and replace left door completely with disc and mechanics / scrap position 100 Mark (the car itself cost me 200 Mark from first hand. Okay, that was in 1984 but it was full of fun!)

After about 2 weeks later I had an important lesson for ice and snow and avoid an accident (I could avoid the cat 😂) … and then again 3 years later probably even prevented a possible fatal accident due to the experience.

A few months ago, I had to start an emergency braking first time on the overhaul track (LKW covered from the right to the left) and knew from there that the warning blinkers are not only advertised in emergency braking but also work.
