- The companion need not be a legal guardian Nonetheless, it would be nice if parents were to take on this task.

- In addition to the "normal" card-format driving license, the additional costs when applying are:

€ 5.10 for the companion check
Does "accompanied driving" influence the test?
"Accompanied driving" has no influence on the driving test. You can take the theoretical test three months before your 17th birthday and the practical test one month before. However, you will not receive your driving license until your 17th birthday.
The companion: Driving with responsibility
- As a companion, you are a contact partner and helper while and after driving. Answer questions
- Let the driver make autonomous decisions
- Limit yourself to occasional advice and do not directly intervene in driving decisions and driving maneuvers
- Advise the driver on route choices
- Soothe the drive in stressful and conflict situations
If the young person drives without the companion, he/she will lose their license
