True or false According to a report in the London newspaper “The Guardian” almost 45,000 learner drivers in Ireland will be allowed to drive on the roads of the Emerald Isle without having taken a driving test. The British newspaper reports that the Irish government is taking this rather unusual step because 60,000 learner drivers have been waiting for a long time to take their tests. In Ireland there are only about 200 examiners for all candidates and so there is naturally a long waiting period.

All the 45,000 applicants who are now allowed to drive without a license have been driving for about six months and are therefore considered capable of driving a car. Their licenses are valid for a year. Afterwards, they may have to take their tests. This unusual step is only possible because in Ireland and the United Kingdom learners can practice driving in their parents’ or friends’ cars. The only condition is that a license holder has to sit next to him to supervise their driving and give them advice. So they usually have much more driving experience before they take their tests than drivers in Germany.

It would be impossible to introduce this procedure into Germany, although every motorist knows that good driving is the result of a lot of practice and that the learning process does not end with the test.
