What are the requirements?
The B196 candidate must have held a car driver’s license for at least five years. Minimum age: 25 years. Nine hours of training must be completed – at least four theoretical and five practical lessons of 90 minutes each in a driving school.

That’s what the expansion costs
Of course, the driver’s license extension does not come for free. For driving and theory lessons, passport photos and a processing fee at the road traffic office, you have to calculate between 700 and 900 euros, depending on the federal state. For comparison: The A1 driver’s license costs between 1000 and 1700 euros.

What special regulations are there?

Driving license classes for motorcycles
In other countries there are/were special regulations that allow you to drive a motorcycle with a normal driver’s license. However, these regulations usually only apply to driving license holders in the individual sovereign areas.
