Normally, there are two types of car driving licences (class B): either the automatic or the manual car driving licence. Since 1 April 2021, another variant applies. Since then, it has been possible to take a driving test on an automatic car and still drive a manual car later (class B197). The prerequisite for this is training in a driving school of at least 10 hours (45 minutes each) and a 15-minute test drive. In doing so, the respective learner drivers must prove that they are capable of „safe, responsible and environmentally conscious driving“ of a car with a manual transmission.
