- Germany Driving Practical Test explanation in English with traffic signs. This video is perfect especially for foreigners. Video will help to understand what should and shouldn't do while giving German driving practical test.Watch few times before taking driving test.
This was in my recommendations. I passed my driving test 2 years ago and I'm German but I couldn't resist watching the whole video. 😅
this is so german of you
Please continue posting more such videos in English. It's gonna help a lot of us like me. Thank you.
It really does help right? !! Same as German language videos with some English help lol
Thanks for the excellent video. I watched this video almost 5 times before my practical driving test and was able to succeed. Most of the test related techniques have been covered in a single video.
I really liked your video. I watched it before my driving test & succeeded. Many thanks to you.
Big congratulations
Me too
Thank you for a very informative video, Sir. Quite apart from anything else, your ability to give a running commentry in a second language is truly remarkable. As a retired UK driving instructor, I have embarrassing recollections of my own lamentable attempts to do the same in my own language!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for the video. Passed my driver's license today.
Glad it helped!
I am in quarantine now and this video is a BIG help when I start driving in Germany, plus you posted it on my birthday! Thank you!!!!
This video was super helpful for me in my practical exams. I passed on my first attempt. Thanks for sharing this knowledge
Glad it helped!
Thank you for this video!! I have recently moved to Germany and feel like I can drive with more confidence.
Thank you for this video! i learned more than i learn at my driving lessons.
The video is very helpful, I cleared my test today and watching this before my test, helped me remember many important things.
Glad it helped!
I watched mutliple videos, out of all you/your video is the best trainer/presenter. Please post more variants of your driving videos. This will surely help driving aspirants
Thanks for the video. This makes driving in Euro Truck Simulator make more sense.
Lol fellow euro truck simulator player! I just passed my practical test last week and actually bought that game to train a bit with all the traffic signs but I still keep playing and actually considering buying an expensive wheel to keep playing 😂😂😂
I know am going to pass my test tomorrow because of your help. Thank you very much and keep up updated with more videos
Excellent video, i did not expe t to watch the whole video. Your instruction was spot on! I definitively plan to watch this video again!
Glad it was helpful!
There are lots of crazy rules which are not necessary. Streets signs could have just been posted there to make it better for people to understand the speed limit. However, this is a great video and thanks for posting 🙌
It was helpful! I passed exam in first attempt yesterday.
Glade, Video was helpful
Thanks so much. Dankeschön. Very Helpful. Please make more knowledge sharing videos for driving
23:20 Yep, I failed my test yesterday for that exact thing. I almost always ignore that arrow and only follow the traffic light even if I'm allowed to turn right. However, yesterday in the exam I decided to make use of it but i didn't come to a COMPLETE stop. The instructor asked me to pull over, it was a 4 minutes ride and failed it.
Seems fair. Nothing personal, but this is the most basic thing in such a practical test.
Imagine repeating the same mistake again and again in real life.
The chance of you being involved in a car accident is very likely.
It would be a pain in the az for you, for the ones who care for you, the people involved in the accident, those who care for them, for the insurance, the company, the government, ... the list goes on.
Did you manage to get your license after 2 months?
Yes they will fail you bc you new driver that’s why
Dont worry we go again
I gather these are leftover from East Germany use (they used this configuration).
@@jaycee330 I remember one that I noticed in East Germany where the traffic lights weren't particularly well managed and you end up waiting for an empty crossing without traffic. In such a situation (where you can clearly see all traffic) it should be safe to go in (from a stop/very slow creep).
i can not thank you enough for making this video...It was really life saving.............
Glad to know that
Lovely comment he is my dad 👨
This is the first time watching and learned so many things!!
That's awesome 👏
Thank you so much and please continue make english vedios and advices !
Perfect video for those who understand the rules. like a walkover !!
I wish you had made more videos, your thorough explanation is awesome and is such a great help for learners. Many thanks
Thank you, I will
I don't even live in Germany, just watching to be a better American driver.
Lol
I don’t know if this will help you to become a better driver in the US as Germany has different right-of-way laws and road signs we don’t have like priority signs…
This is really helpful, thank you! I have just a little bit of confusion when that red car illegally took a left turn when you had priority. Is there anyway, we could discuss that?
In fact, I am preparing for my Driving licence exams. But I come across your practical driving. Although I have not yet pass my exams but through your practical video I hope that I will pass my exams in English. I will be happy to watch more of your videos like this. God bless you. Amen.
They said mine test will be held in English. But now they have told me it will be in German only. Thats an issue. Kindly make sure your test is in english
Really you are the best driving teacher i have ever watched on TH-cam, I would like to join your driving school but where I live is about 40 km from hanover, if it's possible to join plz let me know,?
thank you so much for sharing, we are looking forward to see more of these videos from this channel.
Thank you for the informative driving lessons. I am on my practical driving and it is helpful to me. 🙃😉
Thank you very much for this video. I will attend a driving practical test in Thuringia two days later, I am very nervous as a foreigner who doesn't speak German but has to listen to driving orders in German. Wish myself good luck with the upcoming test!
All the very best
Thanks for the video. It really helped me today to pass the prufung. Your tips were really helpful

Hey Dorline, can you share your experience please? I have mine on 9th and it's gonna snow or at least rain 😯😯
I have a question, at every single train track section, some are even on 70kmh stretches with no 50, still at 70. Do I need to slow right down from 70 to say 30 or just a smaller bit, I am struggling with train crossings. My instructor says (I THINK) look both ways and slow but in a 70 we still pass over it at around 60, is that right? I cannot see the difference in looking at 60 or 70, I am not going to be able to stop if a train is coming. It is so hard with not being able to talk with my instructor due to the language barrier, although he is great, it is a massive issue that I cannot discuss or even have any sort of conversation at all during actual events in my lessons, and I do not even have a talk about afterward, perhaps areas I am wrong in, or am improving in. Of course I do not expect or mean to moan that a German instructor does not speak English, I understand the problem and it is something I have to deal with until I have learnt German properly or at least to a higher level (I am trying to and fast) but the difference in being able to have a talk, or have something explained after or even before an event during a lesson and not having these things, is massive. Unfortunately this is the only school and they really are trying their best for me and are great, so I am by no means moaning about them at all, I just have to use youtube and some other help to answer perhaps some questions about driving that I have still. My questions are often silly, I am only on lesson 6 from starting to drive a manual car from scratch and obviously having seen everything so different than it is here in Germany as far as rules and signs etc, so I am still wondering things and getting things wrong that are perhaps extremely obvious to others (more experienced drivers)
I am having practice lesson at a driving school in Hannover. However, the driving experience is quite bad with the teacher I have. I was wondering if you also run a driving school in Hannover? I would love consider switching to your school. I really loved the way you explain driving.
This was really interesting, thank you so much for sharing. One difference I noticed versus UK (other than the obvious RHD vs LHD) was that you have many intersections, where in UK we would have roundabouts. Evidently we really love roundabouts in UK 😅 - it seems they are not especially common in Germany?
Runarounds, as I call those things, are exclusively UK freakishness. Driving rules and regulations are quite nasty in the UK, too. LHD is not an issue.
It’s cool to see how German highways work
Hello guys, I have the driving test very soon in Munich. How many minor mistakes can I make and still pass the test? This video is really helpful. Thank you
This video helped me pass the exam. Thank you so much
Glad it helped!
Great video ..expect many more
I passed today. Your video and explanation helped me much during my exam.
I'd appreciate a thank you and encouragement to keep up the fantastic effort.
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much for the detail explanation. It helped me a lot
I love your video.. it really helping and please can you also make a video of you showing us your viewing left and right parking etc.. so we can see what you saying. Thank you so much.
What worries me the most is that in the actual exam the instructions will be in German and my German is at rudimentary level at best. Anyone has tips on what specific German words I should learn for the test?
Thanks so much. God bless you. Please can you do more teachings and if possible also " theorie unterricht" in English.
Just passed my exam today i hope i will pass the practical too :)
Can you explain what a sunken curb is and how it can tell you which side is priority?
It's a curb that is sunken so pedestrians and cyclists can pass. They are also curved and not a straight line. I don't know if you speak German but my driving teacher used to say: geht der Kantstein rum, guckst du dumm- if there is a curved curb you have to look out like a stupid (for cyclists). It's always right before left. So if there are no signs you have to give way to any person to your right. If you have the right of way there will be signs.
You are the best teacher..i have learned alot from your videos 👏
Glad to hear that
It is very nice, clear and informative, really helpful. thanks :)
Quite helpful. Thanks for ur effort.
Thank you very much.. Very helpful video.
Very helpful thank you so much but can you please make a video about what The signs means
Thanks a lot for this vedio with very detailed instructions. I learnt a lot ..
✌🏾
Dankeschön für diese Video
Es hat mir sehr geholfen beim meinem Prüfung ✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
I like your English it’s so easy
Wow ich wohn da 500m weiter weg und bin nur zufällig auf das video gestoßen xD
God help me tomorrow
I had watched more than 10times today
18:18 you put right indicator before another crossroad, isn't it misleading others, that you wanted to turn there and not after the traffic-light?
He probably could have waited a bit longer.
Big thanks for u 🙏, very nice video
What is the name of your driving school please?
Great video thanks! I think learning the right of way will be the hardest part of driving in Germany...really messes me up.
its tha same in Greece minus the emergency break and add a rear angle parking position
@1:28 didn’t you need to indicate right as your were moving from a priority road into a secondary street? 😮
25:19 Why was the red car illegal? Was there not enough time for him to do that turn? He certainly didn’t obstruct the instructor’s car
please more videos about driving .. thank u so much :) i really liked ur video
It's kind of wierd, bumping the kerb while parallel parking is an instant fail if you do it in the UK. Seeing it taught is odd.
probably because the way roads are narrow in germany, so you are required to park as close to the kerb as possible. it was the same for me in my country, it would fail me aswell lol
@@mariamtsulukidze3563 It’s the same in the UK. IIRC you’re allowed a 3 inch max gap to the kerb.
very good1 - I appreciate the efforts, by the way - which city you were driving?
Im in Canada and I am planning to visit my sisters in Dunningen Seedorf germany. Can i drive there using mg international driving licence?
Yes you can for first 6 months in EU

Thanks for this -- really useful
Great video. Excellent. Thanks a lot.
In America, we refer to that as a Yield sign rather than "Give Way".
So, you would want to tell an American driver to Yield, not to give way.
Perhaps he's also talking to British drivers. We use give way,
@@emmatravelpro That goes without saying. I was only pointing out the American view.
Germany in particular is the title. 👍😆
"Give way" is how those 68 countries that signed the Vienna international convention call this sign in various languages. But it means the same as Yield sign in Canada and USA - go if it is clear of traffic, otherwise give the right of way. Same as the STOP sign only without an obligatory stop.
Why do Americans loves to correct other people’s English with theirs ? Do y’all realize how many English versions are spoken worldwide?
very informative thanks
Thanks for explaining in English
Thanks a lot very helpful
At 7:08 who do we know only right is allowed? I understand that when we came before from the other side and we saw the sign that cars are not allowed. But what if we come from other direction?
Thank you for your video. Do you have a driving school in English language please in Hannover?
Very useful video
Thank you so much
It helped me a lot
Glad to hear that
Thank you for posting it!...very useful video!
Glad it helped!
Hello, I have been going through this video for my driving practice and has helped me a lot.
I have a question when there is a stop sign but no hard line i stop near the stop sign and again while entering the road at the junction.
I failed my exam as i stopped near the stop sign and only slowed down before entering the lane.
Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your experience Edden, is it necessary to stop at both places? or stopping only at the junction is enough? It seems redundant to me to stop 2 times.. I have my driving test in 3 weeks time. Could you please explain a bit more?
@@halmatmohammedamin7882 Hi Amin..So as per rule if there is no hard line you need to stop near the juntion look both side and move ahead, but if you have a hard line you need to stop first near the hard line and again near the juction to make sure there are no vehicles. Once you have a clear way you can proceed. Hope this information helps :)..All the best for the exam..I passed mine tooafter 2 attempts
Thank you very much. Indeed, this helps a lot. I thought one stop at the hard line would be enough. Thanks for correcting me
@@halmatameen9658 Theoretically it should be enough to stop at the marked line. But because the phrasing in the StVO is a bit ambiguous, it's often recommended to stop once at the marked line and once directly before the junction where you can oversee both sides.
1:18, you have a priority only if you turn left. In this case, you moved straight but you did not check the right before left.
It wasn’t needed. While leaving a priority road, what matters is where the car is coming from and not where it is going. The traffic coming from the right wasn’t coning from a priority road so it had to wait.
@@mahvishn.1304 thank you so much for this information
@@mahvishn.1304 Hello lady, thank you so much for your information. I have a question, and please answer me if you can. I have a scenario: I move to the big intersection, and I want to turn left. I see that I have a red arrow (of course, if it were green, I could move immediately), and I also see that the arrow to move straight forward is green. Hence I slowly move to the middle of the intersection for waiting until the oncoming vehicles (from the opposite lane) pass my car and I can turn left. However, I hear that the car behind me Bip Bip at me (I really do not understand why). My question is: do you wait and not move to the middle of the intersection until the left green light turns on and turns left? Or what I did was correct? Thank you so much for your time.
@@Nguyenthao-oj9ku hi, if the signal for turning left is red, the rule is that you wait BEFORE the signal (and not move to the middle of the junction). You move to the middle of the junction only AFTER signal for turning left is green. And then you wait for the oncoming traffic to pass (opposite traffic gets green light at the same time as you, and you wait for the ones going straight or turning right). As soon as you see an opportunity, take your left turn. At junctions where there is NO signal, you can simply move to the middle of the junction and wait for the oncoming traffic before turning. Furthermore, be careful that you move to the appropriate lane in time. If you’re in the wrong lane, for example in the lane that goes straight while you want to go left, it is not allowed to turn left. In this case you can only proceed straight ahead. In your described scenario, if you were in the lane that goes straight and then you stopped to wait before turning left, you did a mistake. In general, don’t worry about the honking cars. You have to ignore the impatient drivers. Remember that once they were also on the learner’s seat :)
@@mahvishn.1304 Thank you so much for your answer. Now I understand what I have to do when I see the red arrow.
Your video helped alot. Thanks for making this video👍🏻
Glad it helped!
4:48 i understood how that sign with road thing works... so if the yellow sign apears with the same sign under but left priority is left so i have to check am i correct?
nice informative video new friend..lets stay connected
Thanks for the video
I live in Braunwchweig. Can you teach here ?
please make more videos. Really Helpful
hi i have a question. 10:22 could you and other car simultaneously turn to left? he and you. on your side u had a give way sign for the left side trafic means for the bus from left. this does not mean that car comming from front has priority. can you shed some light on this point. i have a test on Monday ur quick response will be appreciate. second question right after this left turn at 10:22 you passed zebra crossing and started 50 speed can u elaborate. thanks in advance for the answer.
@bademeister
understood. what about second question car was still in 30 zone. why after zebra crossing 50kmh. there was no sign of end 30 zone
@ibnetore sikilacci
at 5:04 he entered in a 30 zone. now untill he see end of 30 zone he can not consider its 50 road. did we saw any end of 30 zone sign?
at 10:12 i saw a sign seems end of 30 zone. if it is that then yes 50km/h speed can be considered.
@@zaidi82 The sign before it had the warning sign for the crosswalk and the speed sign below it. In German convention when there is a speed sign below a warning sign, it means go this speed until you pass the whatever is being warned.
Hi can I ask where this video was filmed
4:00 So patient, In my country we'd just both go at the same time lol
Thanks mate !!!
You explained it well 👍
I thought you couldn't turn right on a red light in Germany. Can somebody explain why he was able to turn right at 14:30?
The traffic lights were off so that the "Give right of way"-signs came into effect. No one was coming so he was allowed to just go.
The traffic lights were off, thus the signs are followed, which indicated a normal give-way.
Very nice, can you make Germany theory in English?
Hello everyone once again, I have my driving test on Wednesday in 2 days and it is forecast to snow. If it is rainy or snowy, how fast can I drive on 30, 50 streets and on Autobahn as well?
Thanks for your recommendations
Nice
Great video, Many thanks. I wish there were more. Why cant I turn left at 7:08?
Did you get an answer?
Its not well indicated at this point coming from that direction, but as he came from the other side he saw that this was an oneway road. Maybe the roadsign was visible, but not in the video with this limited point of view.
Thank you so much for your wonderful video.
Hi, Can you put in the comments the sentences you spoke in German . It would be easier to translate that , than me guessing what you said.
