Luxembourg's driving licence system is bilingual — you can take the theory exam in French or German — and run by the SNCA (Société Nationale de Circulation Automobile) under the Code de la Route. Here's the 2-minute breakdown. [0:06 Theory Test Format] Luxembourg's theory test, in its current SNCA format, has 20 multiple-choice questions, and you must score at least 18 correct to pass — a 90% threshold. It's available in French, German, and English. Questions cover road rules, signage, right-of-way, and Luxembourg's strict enforcement of speed and alcohol rules. [0:20 Cost of a Luxembourg Licence] Total cost runs €1,500 to €2,500. That covers enrolment at an accredited auto-école (mandatory), a minimum of 12 theory lessons and 16 practical lessons, a medical certificate, the theory exam fee, and the practical exam fee. Luxembourg auto-écoles are regulated and prices are relatively standardised. [0:35 Luxembourg Speed Limits] Speed limits are 50 km/h in urban areas, 90 km/h on conventional rural roads, and 130 km/h on motorways — dropped to 110 km/h in rain. Luxembourg is a small country but has excellent roads and strict enforcement with a dense camera network. [0:47 Traffic Fines] Fines escalate quickly. Speeding 16 to 30 km/h over the limit is €145 plus 2 licence points. Mobile phone use while driving is €145 and 2 points. Not wearing a seatbelt is €145. Drink-driving above 0.05% BAC starts at €145, but above 0.08% it becomes a criminal offence with possible immediate licence suspension and court appearance. [1:02 Key Road Rules] Luxembourg drives on the right. Headlights must be on during bad weather and at night. A reflective safety vest and warning triangle are mandatory equipment. Novice drivers in their first 2 years have a lower BAC limit of 0.02% and face harsher penalties for infractions. [1:14 Step-by-Step Licence Process] The process: enrol in an accredited auto-école, complete mandatory theory lessons, pass the 20-question SNCA theory exam, complete mandatory practical lessons, pass the practical exam. Minimum age is 18 for Class B, though theory can be taken from 17. [1:29 Emergency Numbers] Luxembourg uses 112 for all emergencies — police, ambulance, fire — answered in French, German, English, and Luxembourgish. The CGDIS (Corps grand-ducal d'incendie et de secours) handles rescue operations. Police non-emergency is 113. [1:37 Driving Myths vs Facts] Myth: since Luxembourg is small, enforcement is relaxed. Fact: Luxembourg has one of the densest speed camera networks in Europe and fines are issued rapidly. Myth: the theory test is still the old 45-question format. Fact: SNCA modernised the exam to 20 questions with a stricter 90% pass threshold — you can now only afford 2 wrong answers.
