Awhile ago we had nasty road construction for a week (they re-did the tram tracks) and it was non-stop noisy and smelly, just when we thought we couldn’t take any more jackhammering it suddenly stopped and was replaced by a chorus of panicked yelling. We cautiously peered out of our living room window and saw this:
Erm…seriously? Someone had actually driven down the clearly marked half-of-a-street and fallen partway into the giant hole where the old tram tracks used to be.
After about 15 minutes of letting the driver try to steer the car out while they pushed (& yelled instructions), the construction dudes finally got the idea to have one of them get into the driver’s seat.
Right…ok…so apparently German driving licences are FOREVER…seriously.
You NEVER have to renew a German license. How completely insane is that?
(Thankfully the law has now changed & licenses must be renewed every 15 years)
