Questions Learners Have About Probationary Licence Germany

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Probationary Licence Germany, including how questions match the official theory exam in Germany, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is the probationary period for new drivers in Germany?

The probationary period in Germany lasts for two years starting from the date you receive your driving licence. It's a trial period designed to encourage safe driving behaviour and reduce accident risks among new drivers.

What is the alcohol limit for new drivers in Germany?

For all drivers still in their probationary period and all drivers under 21 years of age, a strict 0.0 per mille alcohol limit (Null-Promille-Grenze) applies. This means no alcohol consumption is permitted before or during driving.

What happens if I commit an A-offence during my probationary period?

Committing an A-offence (serious violation, like speeding or running a red light) during probation will lead to an extension of your probationary period by two years and requires mandatory participation in a driver improvement seminar (Aufbauseminar).

Who can be an accompanying person for 'Begleitetes Fahren ab 17' (BF17)?

An accompanying person for BF17 must be at least 30 years old, have held a Class B driving licence for at least 5 continuous years, have no more than one point in the Flensburg register, and not be under the influence of alcohol or drugs during the drive. They must also be named on the BF17 driving permit.

Do the probation rules apply to drivers under 21 even after their probation period ends?
