Driving license in Germany
For some of you, a driver’s license is one of the major concerns when planning to go to Germany to study, work or settle down, because Germany is a country extremely famous for its automotive mechanical technology as well as its traffic infrastructure system for cars – Germany’s highway system called Autobahn is a rare system in the world with NO SPEED LIMIT.

According to the practical experience of living in Germany of URIAH Vietnam friends who have lived in Germany, in general, Germans “drive” cars on the Autobahn at a speed of 150-180 km/h, which is normal.
Some speed lovers sometimes drive up to 200 km/h, while cautious people driving at 100-120 km/h always have to stay in the outer lane to avoid obstructing traffic.
For that reason, a driver’s license is necessary to work and settle permanently in Germany, so you should pay attention when planning to study, work and settle in Germany.
Many people wonder, so if you already have a driver’s license in Vietnam, can you convert it to a German license, and should you do that instead of studying and taking a new driver’s license test in Germany??
