Saxony wants to modernize driving school training in Germany via a Federal Council initiative. The main aim is to reduce costs. Driving licenses have become very expensive and take a very long time to obtain, said Transport Minister Regina Kraushaar (CDU) after the cabinet meeting in Dresden. Driving licenses should not depend on your wallet.
Road safety should remain the benchmark
"For many young people, especially in rural areas, a driving license is not an option, but a prerequisite for education, work, family and leisure," Kraushaar emphasized. The Bundesrat initiative starts where costs arise. "We need less repetition, less idle time, and we need significantly more predictability as well as clear quality standards." Saxony expects a significant boost from digital forms of learning. However, road safety remains the benchmark.
