Car (Cat.B)
| Why? Novice drivers are involved THREE times more often in accidents than experienced drivers. Young drivers under 25 years represent less than 10% of all drivers, nevertheless they are involved in about 25% of all accidents . |
Since 1st July 1995 every novice rider (Cat.B - Car) living in Luxembourg must participate in a one-day safety training course (Art. 83 Code de la route).
The Course is not a test. It is just to help the novices to become more defensive drivers . They should become aware of the dangers in everyday traffic and get to know their limits and those of their cars as well as the physical laws that apply.
Within two years of acquiring the driving licence, novices must take this obligatory course in the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg. You can participate in this course just 3 months after the driving test, however a driving experience of at least 3000 km is recommended.
