The key number B 196

In your practical units, you will familiarise yourself with your machine and the traffic regulations. You will drive in the city, out of town, on the highway and also master basic driving tasks such as slalom driving and taking evasive action. At least five lessons of 90 minutes each are prescribed for the B 196 driving training course. However, if you or your driving instructor find that you are still unsure about how to handle the bike, you can just add one or two more lessons. The driving training is not about speed, but above all about your safety.

A test is not necessary to obtain the key number. After the driving training, you will receive a certificate of participation from your driving school, with which you can register your key number 196 at the driving licence office.

For whom is the key number B 196 right?

The driving training is ideal for you if you want to be more flexible on the road and your previous "small" AM scooter is no longer sufficient or if you want to drive a stretch on the highway, for example. 

When does the "real" A-training make more sense?

If you can imagine that you will also be interested in larger motorcycles, later on, the B 196 training course may not be as suitable. Because if B 196 has given you a taste for it and you want to get your A-driver's licence, later on, you can't get credit for either theory or practise - so in the end, it will cost you double.

With category A you have more freedom. You are allowed to drive bigger, faster machines and you can also go on a motorcycle tour abroad. Of course, this costs more at first, but then it is "taken care of". 

In the end, you should think about what your goal is in the "motorcycle world". If a 125cc motorcycle satisfies you and meets your requirements, then the driving training course for the key number B 196 might be just the right thing for you.
