Driving & Running
Some updates on the running. In Nov, I did the cross-country run (9K), took a weekend off, then the relay-marathon (12K section), another weekend off (it rained). But then in Dec I got back to the long distances - 17Km and did that 3 or 4 times. Then I was in Ireland for 3 weekends and doing a tour of Berlin on the 13th. So after a month I’m back running, 9K for a start last weekend.
What have I done about driving in Germany? Just a few things like:
- 14 Theory lessons - 1.5hrs each
- First-aid course
- Eye-sight test
I’ve also started the compulsory driving lessons (12) and it won’t be too long before I get to do the other compulsory lessons on the autobahn, in the countryside and at night….
I can so far recommend the driving school - MAX Sicherheitsfahrschule which has the added bonus of driving simulation and a day at the ADAC driving park to learn and practice how to control a car when it aquaplanes etc. It also has several driving instructors and cars.
So far I’ve driven the Volkswagen Caddy (Diesel)
And an Audi A3
