A driving licence applicant practices practical driving skills without a driving instructor on public roads. What should he expect if the police perform a check on him?

Driving on public roads without a driving instructor or without having a valid driving licence is a serious offense in Germany. If someone is caught practicing driving under these conditions, they face criminal prosecution, as driving without a licence is against the law. In addition to legal charges, authorities may also review the person’s suitability or fitness to obtain a driving licence in the future, since breaking this law raises concerns about their respect for traffic regulations. Even if someone with a valid driving licence is present in the car, it does not replace the need for a driving instructor or a proper licence during practice. That is why answers 1 and 2 are correct. This ensures only sufficiently trained and supervised individuals are allowed to drive, keeping roads safe.
