Driver training in Germany is much stricter and license test is significantly harder than in the US.
In most of Europe they also handle D/L renewals very differently than they do in North America.
Depending on your age and driving record when your 5 year license is up you go into the testing office and at a minimum, write a test, if you are a younger or older person or have demerit points on your license you will take road test. If you don’t pass, you don’t get your license renewed until you can pass it.
Their twist on fines is interesting too, in Finland for instance, most fines are based on a percentage of your income. A few years back the head of Nokia got a US$103,000 speeding ticket. Ditto, Switzerland, in 2010 a Swedish citizen got a US$962,000 ticket there.
