Familiarity with the traffic rules is just as important:
- Traffic signs and regulations: Knowledge of the current rules is essential for safe and compliant driving.
- Assess traffic situations: Ability to assess situations correctly and act with foresight.
Sense of responsibility and attitude
Your personal attitude to driving has a significant influence on your behavior on the road:

- Consideration: Respectful interaction with other road users, pedestrians and cyclists.
- Willingness to learn: Openness to feedback and continuous improvement of your own driving skills.

Road traffic is subject to constant change due to new laws, technologies and means of transportation. It is therefore important:
