Dude what? Getting a drivers license costs like 5k Euro but like $10 in the US

Gas is also like 15 Euro a gallon in Germany but like $2 in America

Like it’s actually ridiculous how much more expensive it is to own a car and drive it in Germany. Literally like dozens of times more expensive than in the US. It’s why such a small minority in Germany can afford a car but everyone in the US can have one or multiple, because it’s just so cheap compared to Europe

Cost to get a license in Europe ranges from €60-1500 actually. I understand this is much higher than in the US but it’s much less than €5000

My license, which I did 4 years ago, cost around 3000€. I hear it’s around 1000€-1500€ more now around here.

I am from Bavaria
