I had no idea it was that tough to get a driver's license in Germany! I know that in the US, the minimum driver age varies from state-to-state, and it's only 15 here in South Carolina. We have a two-part test; one is a multiple-choice written test(now take on computer)that you must pass before you can even get a learner's permit, and the other is the actual test, where you go out for a drive with a State Trooper, who tells you what to do and scores how well(or not)you do it. A LOT of people in my state can't pass the first part, because so many cannot read on that level(which is like, a fifth grade level)well enough to understand the questions, or their reading comprehension is so low that even if they can read the words, they still don't know what they're being asked. Fortunately, I passed both tests easily when I was 15(boy that was a LONG time ago), since I learned to drive in my dad's 1972 International Scout(now THAT was an SUV), and if you could drive that thing, you could handle anything on wheels!
