Your American Driver’s License Is a Lie in Germany
Your US driver’s license isn’t a national credential—it’s a contract with your state. German law treats each state differently, creating a bureaucratic lottery where a driver from Texas can convert easily while a driver from California is forced to retake the whole test. The system doesn’t measure driving ability; it measures administrative luck. Before you move, check your state’s reciprocity status or risk losing months of time and your independence.
