How/where to practice for a driving test - Germany

...without a valid German driver's license
alegria
Hi guys, do you know some place where I could practice my driving skills without a valid German drivers license? I've been yesterday to the Fahrschule where I registered for the exam, and it turned out that there isn't any instructor available for weeks - and I have to pass the exam until the first week of July.

The catch is that I already have a drivers license, but it's not valid any more in Germany (resident, longer than 6 months), so now I have to pass theoretical&practical exams again to get the german one.

So, if you know some legal trick how/where I could drive without a DE license (and it's in germany;), or some place where the risk of getting busted is minimal, please let me know as soon as possible!

Maybe try changing driving schools if possible? Otherwise, just take a risk and drive around in backstreets, likelihood of getting caught are slim to none (just make sure you don't speed, coz if you get caught on camera, could be interesting)!

ADAC runs a DIY driving practice place in Stuttgart that you could use. You'll need someone with a valid license to supervise you officially - and a car of course.

ADAC has a place in Augsburg. Mondays and Wednesdays from 1630 - 2100 HRS I think. But you need someone with a license sitting next to you.

Get some one to take you to the nearest border. You are most likely allowed to drive in countries where you are not a resident.

Great, many thanks for the tips! This ADAC's Uebungsplatz should do the job, and it's not so far away as the next border! wink.gif
