Car licence in Krefeld and Duisburg

Class B, B automatic and B197

Do you want to get your car licence and are looking for a driving school in Krefeld or Duisburg? At Fahrschule Bleifuß you learn with personal support and a clear plan from registration to the test. You will find advice and registration at our locations in Krefeld and Duisburg.

Which route suits you?

Class B with manual transmission

The classic. You drive cars up to 3,500 kg with up to eight seats besides the driver seat. Trailers up to 750 kg are already included.

Class B automatic

You do your whole training and the test in an automatic vehicle. Your licence carries code 78, meaning automatic only at first. If you later want to drive manual too, at least 10 extra driving lessons and a 15-minute test drive with us are enough, no new test at the TÜV is needed.

B197: automatic and manual

You take the test on an automatic and add the entitlement for manual cars with at least 10 extra driving lessons and a 15-minute test drive. You can do this right in your training or later. Your licence then carries code 197. It has to be entered within one year after the end of the training.

At 17 you can already drive with an accompanying person, fully on your own from 18.

The accompanying person
