In Germany, obtaining a driving license has become a major financial and practical challenge, especially for young people and immigrants. The average cost is between 2500 and 3500 euros, and often more, due to mandatory theoretical and practical training.

The failure rate in the exams is high, while strict requirements and a shortage of instructors make the process even more difficult. For immigrants, the challenges are compounded by language barriers and cultural differences in driving. While some seek to obtain their license abroad, for example in Poland, this requires extended stays and adds other costs. Alternatives such as the use of simulators are being considered, but do not fully replace real practice.
