International driver's license problems

Hello all,

First of all I'd like to say that this is a great site...Iv been looking for somehting like this for so long!! Im an International student living in Halle for 2 years now, my life would have been much eaiser if I knew this website.
Anyway; I have a problem and I would really appreciate your feedback. I know that the topic was discussed often, but still I didnt find my exact case.

Ok so I have my international driver's license (from Egypt) Iv been driving around for 2 years now, so more than 6 months. Recently, I got 3 points for driving too fast on the Autobahn, and I am expecting 3 more for the same reason again. What should I do now??!! I mean I broke the law cause I have been driving for more than 6 months with my International Lisc and I am living in Germany. Now I want to switch my Iternational license with the German one, but Im so scared that they will notice what happned, and then Ill be in deep sh**!

Does anyone know what is the exact penaulty for my case? I heard that they ask you to take th fill driving exam again instead of just switching. I hope its that simple, Im really worried about that.

Your feedback will be much appreciated

I doubt it will be a problem. It seems to be a qualification to drive in Germany that you have to drive as fast as possible. The Germans will welcome you for driving like a cunt and getting points for it. You'll prob be given a courtesy Mercedes or BMW to celebrate.

That is quite an optimisitc way to look at it, but I have a feeling ill be facing some kind of trouble. I just want to know how much trouble so that I'd be prepared!

Hello Yasser

I am also from Egypt, I started the process for transfering my DL (the Egyptian one) to the German One. Looks like it is very long process but I have to do it. First of all I translate my orginal DL to german and take the first help course with the see test and 50 € and gave to the stadtamt and should wait fot their response (takes from 4 to 8 weeks).

I don't know what I should do next!

For your case, don't worry as you will only show your orginal DL (not the International DL).
E-mail me if we can discuss your issue more#

thanks

Hey there masamaan,

Where about from Egypt are u?! Dont tell me you are DEO man! What I established so far is that I have to send my national Lsc to ADAC and then they send it to the ADAC state Headquarters and then they send it back to me with the offical translation and the stamp and an Erklärung and blablba. This all takes from 2 to 4 weeks and costs 55 EUR.

Next I have to take that all that to the Ordnugsamt and then they tell what to do. Probably like you I have to take those tests.

What do u think they will say about my points and that I shouldnt have been driving with the lisc??

So what are you doing in Germany anyway??!! studying?

Take care,
Yasser
