EinKulturellerLeckerbissen DerFührerscheinDid you know that in Germany you have to be 18 years of age in order to get a driver's license? Kids in the US have a hard time imagining life for another 2 years without a driver's license. Teens in Germany aren't in such dire straits due to the incredible public transportation system.
