Driving in Essen
Essen was named European Green Capital 2017 – paradoxically for a city where the car remains the dominant mode of transport. The A40 runs directly through the city and is the defining motorway for learners in the region.
Only 3 Essen driving schools teach in a foreign language – the fewest of any Ruhr area city in the comparison. Learners who need instruction in a language other than German will find more options in Bochum, Dortmund or Duisburg.
