Wow. I just did my license here in the Czech Republic (after driving semi-illegally for 15 years with no issies lol) and it was dodgey but painless. I paid a dude $500 bucks to drive with me for an hour and rubber stamp my ability, and then for the written test, I had a "translator" provided, despite me speaking Czech. She basically told me all the answers as we went through thr test hah!

I'm actually considering getting it elsewhere in the EU and end this shitty thing, so if anyone has any suggestions, they are welcome. The funny thing is that I already know how to drive, so my problem is purely theoretical and bureaucratic.

Knowing how to drive is not 100% the same as knowing every little local rule and exception. Believe it or not, it is still practically useful to know who has priority when entering roundabouts and it can differ from country to country.

So this is still a thing? The Czech police arrested multiple criminal rings around driving schools that provided those sorts of "services" for foreigners.

Did you have a US license? We’re moving to Czechia this year and I’m trying to figure out what I can do about driving. What made you finally get a license there?

Also was thinking of getting a motorcycle license in the US so I can use it there for a while (since the moto license school is $1200usd vs 250 for a class in the us).
