American Wife's First Time DRIVING in Germany!!

FINALLY Deana drives in Germany for the first time! It's been a process and the time has finally come where Deana can drive in Germany. We drive around the town and ease into traffic. We didn't want to immediately jump onto the autobahn this time (with this car haha), so the autobahn will be for another time! :P
Another step for her (and us) here in Germany. :)

What was the first thing you drove to when you got your driver's license? 😍🚗

[@Ashley-jp4nn]

Probably the McDonald’s drive-thru 😂

[@Ok-cx6qt]

🙌👏

[@Ichhoerenurmimimi]

drove to my mother in law with the car of my boyfriend (he has a Honda CR-Z, my driving-school car was a Audi Q3)

[@MBrieger]

Strassenverkehrsamt = Department of Motor Vehicles

[@RobinLights]

To a friend to pickup my wallet that i had forgotten. It was in a Toyota Aygo from a friend, horrible little car that feels like its all plastic and makes weird sounds when making a turn.. Never again..!!!! 😂

[@lilaangel6666]

Deana spricht mittlerweile richtig gut Deutsch! Wenn ich an die früheren Videos denke, als sie es gerade gelernt hat.. . Wirklich richtig gut und deutsch ist nicht so leicht zu lernen! 👍Thumbs up for Deana's german! Diese Szene war so geil, in der Phil vor Deana im Auto weggerannt ist und sie so 5km/h oder so fährt xD

[@stormbreaker4314]

Was soll ich dazu nur sagen??.......Oh Yes!!!!Ich habe vor 4 Wochen angefangen Russisch zu lernen, es gibt nicht nur 33 Buchstaben zu lernen, diese sind auch noch in Druck- und Schreibschrift und Kursivschrift unterschiedlich ausserdem gibt es Schriftzeichen, die wie im Deutschen aussehen, aber ganz andere Buchstaben sind wie im Deutschen. Man lernt quasi eine Sprache vierfach. Wie wird sich da Deanna gefühlt haben??

[@MichelleJonesKralka]

The highlight was watching Deana confidently order a milkshake at the drive in window! 👏🏻👏🏻 This may seem weird considering Canada and the US are basically the same for driving rules, but when I moved from Canada to California they make you rewrite the driver’s test AND redo the in-car test. I was 35 when I moved here and had my Canadian license since I was 16. I passed both of them the first time but my husband - the genius engineer - failed both the written and driving test in California the first time he tried. That was a monumental win for me. 🙌🏻🙌🏻 🚘

[@colgoochthemarine]

Loved this video and the slomo portion was hilarious. Would def. love to see a video with her driving the autobahn. You should see if someone has a big Mercedes S class to rent or a Porsche. The first time I rode as a passenger with my wife driving I was nervous as hell because she drives like an Formula 1 driver. So I grab the passenger door upper grab handle as she is flying around corners and she looks over and asks me why am I holding on to the grab handle because I’m just going to lose my arm. Oh yeah that’s making me feel real comfortable. More driving videos, this was great.

Omg! I know that song, “I got a brand new pair of roller skates, you got a brand new key”! Original version is from the early 70s! I’m from Southern California and my first car was a Honda stick shift, my dad wanted all of his kids to learn how to drive a stick shift cat first, of course now we all have an automatic car but we know how to drive a stick shift just in case.

Now I miss my Hyundai :-( Unfortunately it broke down and the repair was much too expensive, now I drive a Dacia.

[@rechtrecht]

We've had the first gen i10 and now got the third gen. The first gen i10 kissed a Crash barrier so repair wasn't an option. The clutch still on the new one is still so finicky, even has the same issue trying to get into reverse. I'm a beginner driver, i got my Liscense 3 moths ago. I keep stalling it elevations. My dads Volvo is like "You can put your foot on there. Lift if when you want. I WILL move. Shift when you think you should, doesn't matter. Just do it sometime please" The i10 meanwhile "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DIDN'T ENGAGE THE CLUTCH IN THE EXACT MANNER I WANT? I AM GOING TO STALL. SHIFTING? BETTER DO IT RIGHT NOW. TO LATE, NO REVS LEFT FOR YOU"

"Gross oder mittel?" "Mittelgross" Love it :D

it's actually no longer 10 and 2, it's 9 and 3! as a woman, it's especially important that your steering wheel is properly adjusted to your chest, and that your hands are clear for the airbag to deploy. you did a fantastic job driving for having a year hiatus!

[@jessicaely2521]

I'm a better driver in Switzerland. I scare my husband when I drive in Florida. You definitely need to be an aggressive driver in Miami. A lot of Germans aren't capable of driving in South Florida. They follow the rules to much and dont get anywhere. The best was a circle by my house. Its gigantic (it's a mile to walk around the entire circle). You are able to get on or off inside the circle and out side of the circle. The traffic is so bad you have to force your way into traffic. Our German friend just totally shutdown at the circle. I had to get into the driver's seat and he put his head in between his knees 😂😂.

Hut ab, Deana, das hat ja super geklappt! 👍 Bemerkung am Rande: du hast wirklich fantastische Haare!! Eins hat mich nur sehr gewundert: wurde denn dein amerikanischer Führerschein so ohne weiteres 1:1 anerkannt? Musstest du denn gar keine Fahrstunden mehr nehmen? Ich kenne Menschen aus orientalischen Ländern, denen trotz Vorlage ihres Führerscheins wegen der verlangten Fahrstunden und der Fahrprüfung der deutsche Führerschein ungefähr 750 Euro gekostet hat.

[@EmilLotter]

Das ist bei Expats aus den USA abhängig von ihrem Heimat-Bundesstaat. Die Fahrerlaubnisse einiger Staaten werden ohne Weiteres auf die europäische Klasse B umgeschrieben, bei anderen muss man die theoretische Prüfung wiederholen, beim Rest die theroetische und die praktische. Siehe die Tabelle hier: www.verkehrsportal.de/fev/anl_11_usa.php Das gilt aber alles nur für Klasse B, also Pkw-Führerscheine. Für LKW, Bus, Trecker oder Motorrad geht kein Weg an der Fahrschule vorbei.

[@AlbertMeza]

Deana, if your car has airbags then, the 10 and 2 position is the worst way to hold the wheel. You should hold the wheel in the 9 and 3 position because there are vents in the back of the airbag that can "de-glove" your hand in an accident. Don't believe me? Google it!

Lmao, this was really cool. It must be so awesome to get a license in another country and drive like a rebel 😎🚘

[@jelena7604]

Did you realize that now they state it should be 3 and 9 vs 10 and 2? It's because of where the airbag is located. Not sure if it's the same in Germany. Love the background music. Melanie's Brand New Key.
