- That was the longest class B exam in my whole career. In 20 years (since 2003) I didnt have had such a long exam. Ok, until 2021 the calculated exam time for class B was only 45 minutes. Since 2021 it is 55 minutes. But not driving time....
Hi Andreas,
I have been following your TH-cam channel since beginning of 2023 and with the help your videos I successfully completed driving license back in March 2023. You are one of the best driving instructor I ever seen, the way you explain in every class and exam of videos in English, it is quite impressive and I really like the way you teach :) I would recommend you if someone really wants to learn and complete driving in an organized way. I wish you more success and healthy life ahead. Many greetings from Bad Soden!
I have passed the practical exam today in my first attempt. Your videos really helped a lot. The way you teach and explain the situations in your videos is very good. , I will definitely recommend it to my friends to watch your videos during the preparation.
Thank you so much.😊
I finally passed my practical exam today. Thank you very much for this idea, this channel; Without a doubt, a great help for those of us who live in Germany and do not speak German!!!… best.
yesterday i passed my klasse b führerschein and i watched your videos which helped me alot
@GermanDrivingSchool Thanks to you and your videos, I got my driver's license on my first try today. My driving school instructor was really bad, he didn't say anything without asking during the lessons. By applying what you explained in the practical lessons, I was able to pass without any difficulty. Moreover, my exam location was Berlin-Neukoln, where chaos was always present. You rock!!
(If you had a branch in a place like Berlin, we probably wouldn't be able to enter because of the long queue. Berlin especially needs someone like you. Maybe you can consider it for future plans.)
Very harsh on the student
You are the best teacher , your videos have helped me more than my actual classes. Thank you very much!
That was very educational and helpful. Please upload videos more often.
Yesterday I passed my exam! your videos were really helpuf for this achivement. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for all the video lessons. It helped me prepare for my exam. I passed it today, and am greatful to your videos to take learnings from. Kudos on the great job helping people :)
After several failed attempts I finally passed my exam yesterday. Your videos helped me a lot. Thank you! I appreciate your good work. Keep it up!
Congrats! It feels great doesn´t it. I struggled for a long time but passed second attempt a couple of months ago, I was so relieved when the examiner said I had my license, it was finally over, the stress and anxiety of lessons and all of the rest that comes with it.
I passed my practical today. Thank you for the helpful videos, particularly this one (#22). Having this video in mind, I aligned the car properly when turning left on a one-way street. Anyway, it's a nice feeling to watch these videos again after passing. Good luck to you ALL!
English? How was it?
The 1st person videos are really helpful. I watch them while wearing my VR headset and i feel I am driving the car
Your video is very much help for me. thank you so much .such good content in english. I have received my licence today because of you
Thank you my instructor refuse to speak in english and I did not understand deutsch very well, so your videos did All the good work
Hey, I have passed my practical exam in one try 2 months ago thanks to these videos!
I have one question. In the case of doppellinks especially when exiting the highway, lets imagine that we are on the rightmost lane and 2 lanes turning left into a 4 lane road. My instructor told me to switch to the rightmost lane when turning left (meaning I wont follow my lane and actually do a lane switch)
And if I were on the left lane instructor told me I should switch to one lane to the right when turning left. Is this true?
Thank you for the amazing channel and videos, they help so much I can't even put that in words!
Do you know if the usual length of the exam vary depending on the city? I've heard that in Munich it's always somewhere around 50 minutes of driving and no less
It depends on the location, the traffic during the exam and the examiner. But exam time (55 minutes) is not the same like the driving time. Included in the 55 minutes is also talking before driving (ID check, payment check of the fees, introducing each other, getting the seat and mirrors ready, 3 questions about the car (lights, fluids, wheels,...)) and talking after driving (feedback, result, handout of license,...). That´s what makes the driving time NOT to 55 minutes ❤☮
Hi Andy, thanks for a very useful video. I have some questions-
1- when you have the sign and signals together, signal takes priority. Here at 12.06 the sign and the signal are so close that I thought as long as the signal is working, the sign does not matter. However you said that the person should have stopped at the stop sign. How does one know when a sign is not part of the traffic signal? This one looked too close to the signal and I think I would have not stopped.
Just watched further at 30.46. - same situation green signal with stop sign, but the signal is green and we do not look at the sign and don’t stop.
Seems contradictory.
Ok, I finished the video now and I think it has got to do with the solid white line with the stop sign in the first case. But not sure.
2- At 28:35 - the solid yellow lines are over and the person is driving in the left of the two lanes. Your advice is to drive on the right of the two lanes whenever possible, would changing here to right not be a natural instinct for a learner driver?
3- How does one know when to merge and when not to merge in the highway. Will the instructor tell that?
Thank you for your comment ❤
At 12:06 the lights are just regulating the pedestrians. On the left side is a primary school. They prefer placing lights instead of zebra crossing. You can recognize that easily: at the lights you have the stop line. Then you have the pedestrian lines and directly behind that you have the other stop line for oncoming traffic. That's all for the lights. And the stop sign is regulating the intersection. By the way: after the left turn from the stop sign you have another traffic light for pedestrians.
At 30:46 you have the lights regulating the intersection. No stopping while green light as you already mentioned 😊.
At 28:35 (end of yellow solid line) the white lines are valid. But the dashed white line is broad (double sized). That means that the right lane will end or that it goes somewhere else. In this case the right lane is an acceleration and integration lane. Check out the last yellow line. It ends on a white line. That's the best time to compare the size of yellow and white line in this situation. Probably it is not very well visible in the video. But if you drive on the roads you will easily find out what's a normal (slim) line and what's a broad (double size) line.
Edit:
I forgot number 3 of your questions:
Generally you integrate on highway: "Bitte fahren Sie auf die Autobahn Richtung xxx"
In this case examiner told the student: please do not enter the higway. Please stay here and leave the higway from this lane.
❤☮️
@@GermanDrivingSchool Thank you so much for taking the time. That explains all. Best regards ❤️
The signal over sign priority applies only when the sign is directly above the signal. At 12:06 the STOP sign is at 20m from the signal. Treat the STOP sign normally as how you would treat it in this case.
@@abishek9133 Incorrect. Because with this logic, you would stop at the signal at 30.46, which would be wrong.
Hi Andy, one more question though unrelated to the video. What are the costs of switching driving schools in Germany? I imagine the old school will give in writing the number of training hours completed and the new school will need some more to prepare you for the test. Assuming theory exam is passed and practical is not booked, what are the “additional” charges in switching schools. I would guess registering at the new school would be one but cannot think of any other costs/disadvantages of switching. What are your views? Not a direct driving practice related question but I hope you can answer :)
As someone who has switched the only additional cost was the registration cost.
Yes the new driving teacher will also ask you to do lessons if they feel you are not ready, but if you feel uncomfortable at your old school then please change it. My old school didn't teach me anything at all and I changed the school and learned a lot.
There will be a registration fee in the new school. It can be from reduced fee to normal class B fee. ❤☮
@@GermanDrivingSchool Passed the exam. Thanks for your very useful videos! So greatful
You say driver has to be on the left side if it is a clean one way street. Even if driver is going to make a right turn?
No, only for left turn. Not for right and not for straight. While you move the car to the left side the straight driver and right turner can place their car in the meantime. Otherwise you block them and they have to wait...
❤️☮️
Please upload his next attempt as well.
That was September 2022. He already passed his 2nd attempt. But I couldn't record it.
❤️☮️
Is it legally possible for someone who live in Kassel, to take driving lessons in your driving school. I personally learned much more from your videos than my instructor because my German is limited and I cant get most of the things he explains during the driving sessions.
If the authorities allow to change the "place of exam" to my location it is possible. Generally by law the "place of exam" is where you have your main residence or where you work. But if you can convince the authorities that it is better to thake the exam somewhere else you are lucky and get the official permission for that. ❤☮
I have my practical rayan tomorrow. Hope it goes well🙏🏽
Good luck!!
❤️☮️
How did it go?
I will be starting my practical on friday , i am Real paniking on how it will be .
Is this Einbahnstraße missed left turn failed?
If there are smaller mistakes you will not fail. If you have a lot of smaller mistakes or several times the same small mistakes you can fail. Examiner decides. ❤☮
Do I need to speak or understand german for taking a driving test?
Not REALLY - you need to understand directions and answer some basic questions about the car (lights, oil level, etc) but your instructor will brief you on those.
Yes, for sure directions (links, rechts, geradeaus, folgen Sie bitte der Vorfahrtstraße, verlassen Sie bitte die Vorfahrtstraße,...) and excercises (bitte wenden Sie, kehren Sie bitte um, halten Sie neben dem Fahrzeug an und parken Sie rückwärts ein, Welche drei Dinge müssen Sie regelmäßig an den Reifen kontrollieren,...) ❤☮
Advice my instructor gave me: If the examiner makes you do the same maneuver multiple times in a row, pay careful attention.
Exactly ❤☮
22:44 why right before left? I see the kerb stone area. Can't we ingnore right before left hear?
The curbstone (white/grey) leads clearly into the right street. What we can see following the left curve is a separation between concrete/asphalt and paving stones.
Fortunately the city of Sulzbach put waiting lines for us on the ground to make sure: here is right before left.
❤️☮️
the grey-white coloured stone combination is clearly moving around the right corner. in combination with the waiting line it is for sure right before left. What you can see on the ground turning to the left side are some stones for the street instead of having concrete or asphalt over there. ❤☮
Seems like the examiner kept on going with the exam until the student made one mistake.
I felt the same. Other than those one way streets he did very well and was unfortunate he still failed.
@@subhashsv8468 Sometimes some examiners come with an agenda to fail the student irrespective of how the exam went.
@@wrightvcx2249 My teacher says they don't have such agenda, They gain nothing from it. But some are super strict and if you made a mistake they want to see if you can correct it or not. But i feel bad for this person because every thing else was spot on. Anyway I am sure he passed it next time because that was the only thing he didn't know.
@@wrightvcx2249 From these videos I see that driving exams are 40-50 mins. They are 40 mins where I live. So....what, what's the problem? Did you expect a 10 minute exam like in USA? Where they take you out on a quiet road, make you do a few turns, here's your license?
@@BichaelStevens I took my driving exam in Germany. I passed the exam on my second attempt. On the first attempt, I failed for a simple minor mistake which even my driving instructor did not notice. So I know what I am talking about here. I have seen some rogue examiners who come with an agenda to fail the student anyhow.
In würzburg all the exams are 50 minutes
is true
50 mins is long? I passed my exam last year. No huge mistakes, of course. My engine stalled once and I was driving 35 in a 50 zone and the Prüfer told me it's 50, not 35.
But that's all.
Are you kidding????!!!! He did perfect oh my god
Almost... ❤☮
How can i contacts with u ?
Fahrschule Cruise-Control in Bad Soden am Taunus ❤☮
A little unfair to the student. Considering your previous exam videos, this exam was way too much tricky and long. I can really feel for the student if they feel a little disappointed after the exam. I really hope the student gets a relatively easier one next time.
For the sake of earth please do not make the sudden loud sound of 'Failed' or 'Passed'🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
😂😂😂
That's for the people who fell asleep after the long time ✌️
❤️☮️
I was startled as well! You hear soothing calm Andy's voice for the entire video and are trying to absorb all in and then suddenly hear this cacophony!! It was scary! 😢
Keep it coming 😂
😂
❤
My god after 50 minutes he was FAILED ???☹☹☹☹☹☹
Well, probably the disicion was already before in examiners mind but you cannot stop on the countryroad or highway to talk to the student. That´s why we kept going to the place where the examiner needed to be to take the next exam. ❤☮
Ah!! understood @@GermanDrivingSchool
After wasting 1 year of life
4000+ euros
Failed 2 times
Decided not to waste more time , money and mental peace so stopped chasing this shit.
System sucks in Germany in many ways this is one of them
Sorry If I am sounding rude but its not worth living in Germany specially as an Auslander
Some people have had it worst than you and they're still pushing because they believe in themselves and they will make it. Why should you give up. If you think you can't stay in Germany anymore then go home.
Why did you fail? I spent around the same in general, passed from the first time an year ago. I wouldn't consider exam a complex thing, had the same as many videos on this channel. Given that cars are means of increased danger it is pretty fare to have comprehensive exam.
Yes germany is the worst country in this whole unvierse. No other country has this many damn cons as germany.
Sometimes I felt like that but then I passed on first try (not in Germany but our laws seem to be almost identical, and boy are there a LOT of stupid little rules in our exams too, like oh no someone is speeding and I slowed them down to legal speeds, i slowed them down = fail).
You can do it!
What were your failing points and why do you feet treated unfair? Since I am teaching (2003, yes, i am not young anymore) I never (NEVER) had an failed exam that was not a failed exam. Why? Because there are clear rules that an examiner has to follow and the instructor should know the rules as well. But I had some exams where the studend passed but had an failing point the examiner didn´t see or decided (as a human) to give the license to the student. So again: Why did you fail? ❤☮
