sorry ist been a while since I posted as you may be aware I have been rather busy lately.
I’ve been here 4 weeks now and a lot has happened good and bad, The driving licence
Took a little time and anybody who thinks they can come here,do a weeks driving and then be ready for there test is mistaken.
The test itself works as follows written test,Class 1, 24 questions 4 mistakes allowed, then Airbrake, 20 questions 3 mistakes allowed. These are no great problem and if anyone needs a few tips let me know.
Then you are allowed to drive as a learner. There are a lot of rules here that are wierd to a driver who has been plodding around Europe for 20 yeas or so and these along with pre-trip,airbrake practical,backing take time to achieve.
Lots of people are not aware that whilst in this training phase there are things to be done like getting the car licence changed,medical card,social number,sorting out a place to live getting it furnished, bank accounts etc etc. As all this is happening the money reserves you have are being rapidly reduced...........
At this point I would like to mention Trans X , Everything they promised in Essen has happened, in the short time I have been here Trans X has proved to be a very good company,
Special thanks to Trish,who does the immigration, and to Steve who gave me a thousand tips.
