On-road practice – practice vehicle set-up

The practice vehicle does not need to meet any specific criteria (e.g. regarding the hand brake, ignition switch or gearbox) in order to be used for on-road practice. It is also possible to use multiple vehicles as practice vehicles.

If the practice vehicle is not registered to the applicant or their supervisor, the registration holder of the vehicle must provide written consent for it to be used for practice drives and driving tests.

Special plates for on-road practice:

Front and rear of vehicle:

• Blue plate with ‘L’ in white lettering
• Plate with the text Übungsfahrt (Learner Driver)

Using a vehicle for category B driving tests:

If a driving test is taken in an automatic vehicle, the licence obtained will be restricted to such vehicles.
