Driver's license & lockdown: how the theory of the couch works?

Recently updated on December 9, 2021 at 06:45 am

In addition to many driving lessons must be for the Driving test also quite a bit Theory to be learned. And due to the lockdown, learner drivers from all over Germany can now use the theory part of the ticket test Online lessons complete. Learner drivers owe this innovation to the digital driving school provider "DrivEddy"which for all federal states Exemptions and the theory lessons of the driving test in digital may offer. Until 2021, “DrivEddy” can offer theory lessons via Live Stream under the supervision of a driving instructor. After the learner drivers have completed all theory lessons online, they will receive a Certificatewith which they can take the exam for two years. The registration for the test and the test itself then run as usual via the classic driving schools.

Closed - due to lockdown!

Many driving schools had to temporarily close their doors due to the lockdown and countless learner drivers were condemned to wait. The new offer from the online provider "DrivEddy" could therefore be the ideal one interim solution be. As after completing the online program just the exam must be done at a classic driving school. In contrast to classic driving schools, which offer theory lessons free of charge, "DrivEddy" requires 4,90 euros per unit. Nevertheless, online lessons are an ideal option for many learner drivers to bridge the time during the lockdown. The theory can be via the online portal viz be completed within two weeks.

The reason for this innovation are paragraphs 16 and 17 of the driver's license regulation, which state that the learner driver only has to take the theory test at his place of residence, but also take the lessons at one other location can visit. A thought that makes sense. Because if all driving schools switched to online lessons, this would not only be possible in the future Save personnel costs, but also for class appointments and training rooms Costs are reduced. However, it will not be possible to switch entirely to online lessons, since driving schools do so according to the law are obligedto offer a theory space. Nonetheless, the online process could significantly shorten waiting times without compromising quality.

both options are conceivable in the future

Generally favor however only a few driving schools because online lessons and the Federal Association of Driving Instructors' Associations (BVF) and the President of the German Driving Instructor Academy Gerhard von Bressensdorf are skeptical. Although all parties are quite open to a digital solution, they believe that online teaching not is comparable to that in a "real" driving school. So there will probably be both options in the future and after the end of the lockdown.

And that is how it works!

1. Register at www.drivEddy.com/online-theorie
2. Book theory lessons on the available dates
3. Attend theory classes online
4. Proof of training received
5. Start the practical part after the theory

6x 2 minutes can be completed 90 days a week. The complete driving license theory can be completed in just 1,5 weeks. The full online theory currently costs 99 euros. And you can also attend individual courses. One hour then costs 14,20 euros.

Of course that had not been the case.
