Driving an automatic car or a manual car? If you don't want to decide, the automatic training with the key number B197 is right for you.

Driving fun without limitations
Training in the automatic car
You spend most of your driving training time in an automatic vehicle. You can fully concentrate on the traffic and practice anticipatory driving.
Supplementary gear shift training
You learn how to shift gears in addition to your training, in at least 10 driving hours on a manual car.
Successful test drive
To confirm that you can drive a manual car, you take a test drive. Simply with your driving instructor and without an official examiner. The test drive lasts at least 15 minutes and must take place in and out of town.
Proof for the authorities
If you have passed the test drive with your driving instructor, your driving school will issue you a certificate confirming that you are able to drive a manual car. You simply present this certificate when you take the test.
Practical test in the automatic vehicle
You do your test preparation and the test on the automatic vehicle. This saves you the stress and embarrassing "stalling" and you can concentrate fully on the traffic. If you present the certificate from your driving school that you have also completed a shift training course, the key number B197 will be entered in your driving license.
What else? Your alternatives
Complete training in the switch vehicle
As before: The entire training takes place in the manual vehicle, including all special trips. Also, the examination is taken in the manual vehicle. You can find more information about this in the driving licence class B.
The pure automatic training
If you complete your entire training and test in the automatic vehicle and do not learn to shift gears, the key number 78 will be entered in your driving licence. You are then only authorized to drive an automatic vehicle.
Cancel key number 78
Catch up on switching training
Did you take your test on an automatic vehicle and have the key number 78 on your driving licence? You can now easily make up for the manual training. Take (at least) 10 driving lessons in a manual car and a final test drive with your driving instructor and have the annoying restriction removed from your driving licence.
