A test on mechanical aptitude had to be passed and the Dampfkesselüberwachungsverein ("steam boiler supervision association") was charged with conducting these tests. Prussia, then a kingdom within the German Empire, introduced compulsory licensing on 29 September 1903. Compulsory testing was introduced in 1934, with the passing of the Road Traffic Act. The "driving licence" gave its holder 'freedom of the road' with a maximum 20 mph (32 km/h) speed limit. The minimum qualifying age was set at 17. Every car owner had to register their vehicle with their local government authority and be able to prove registration of their vehicle on request. Mandatory licensing for drivers in the United Kingdom came into force on 1 January 1904 after the Motor Car Act 1903 received royal assent. Up until the start of the 20th century, European authorities issued similar permits to drive motor vehicles ad hoc, if at all. Karl Benz, inventor of the modern car, received a written " Genehmigung" (permit) from the Grand Ducal authorities to operate his car on public roads in 1888 after residents complained about the noise and smell of his Motorwagen.
History The world's first permit to drive a motor vehicle, issued to Karl Benz upon his request The difficulty of the driving test varies considerably between jurisdictions, as do factors such as age and the required level of competence and practice. Different categories of permit often exist for different types of motor vehicles, particularly large trucks and passenger vehicles. In some jurisdictions, a permit is issued after the recipient has passed a driving test, while in others a person acquires their permit or a learner's permit before beginning to drive. The laws relating to the licensing of drivers vary between jurisdictions. In Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the USA the terms " driver license" or " driver's license" are used, while in British English and in many former British colonies the term is " driving licence". In most international agreements the wording "driving permit" is used, for instance in the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic. Such licenses are often plastic and the size of a credit card.
