Driving licence class Accompanied driving from 17

Behind the wheel at 17 with an accompanying adult

Behind the wheel at 17

With accompanied driving (B17) you get your car licence at 17. Until your 18th birthday you drive with a registered accompanying adult and gain valuable experience – this makes you a safer driver and is proven to reduce the risk of accidents during the probationary period.

How it works

  • Training from 16½ at the earliest, test no earlier than one month before your 17th birthday
  • Training, theory and tests as for class B
  • Until your 18th birthday only with a registered accompanying adult
  • At 18 the test certificate is exchanged for the photocard licence

The accompanying adult

  • At least 30 years old
  • Has held a class B licence for at least 5 years
  • No more than 1 penalty point in the German driving register (Flensburg)
  • Is named on the test certificate

For B17 we also need a declaration of consent from your parents or guardians – we'll prepare the documents for you after you register (forms are in German).

Step by step

  1. Register at 16½

    Online or at the office, incl. the application naming your accompanying adults.

  2. Theory & practice

    Just like class B – also possible as a holiday intensive course.

  3. Test from 17

    Then you're off – with your accompanying adult.

  4. Solo at 18

    Exchange the certificate for your licence – done.
