I take it by your description Germany drives on the right side of the 
road, similar to the U.S.

I knew someone who was in the military and stationed in Germany who 
after several failed attempts finally got a license to drive. He said 
their standards for drivers is way above what they require over here.

Of course in the state I'm in once you've got a drivers license from the 
state, that's pretty much it. You're never really required to take a 
test (unless you're under psychiatric care.. I know this firsthand, 
don't ask... Though I did discover that I actually can parallel park 
perfectly, and I scored 100% on the written portion... even the 
meaningless statistics. I remember the DPS employ's look of shock when 
she offered me a few minutes to study the manual and I declined)
