But there are still a lot of people on the road that did learn to drive before that kind of license. I did a class 3 license in Germany right before the transition…
So I have my A, A1, AM, B, BE, C1, C1E license (C1E limited to 7,5t instead of 12) without ever having learned to tow anything.
You are right. Not sure why they did the transition like that. My father has all those and higher even though he hasn’t driven a truck for decades now. But it will eventually get better.
Because that’s exactly what the original class 3 allowed you to drive. Imagine what would have happened if they told everyone with a driving license at that point that it’s now only viable for 3,5t vehicles without a trailer and they need to make a new license to keep driving their transporters, small trucks or using their trailers.

Good percentage of drivers is in dire need of refresh on the subject of traffic laws.
