Drivers license has a probation period.  If you are at fault for an accident or get a ticket that has points it's back to drivers school.

DUI can be had on bicycles and up.  Also as a pedestrian if you are drunk and impede traffic it can be treated as a DUI for license suspension or revokation.

Exception to drivers license.  If you are a depent of a US Government or Military, are 17 or older and got your drivers license before you Sponsor got orders to come to Germany.  You may apply and recieve your US Army Europe (USAREUR) drivers license.

Answer 6

Drink : 16 (beer..)

            18 (harder stuff) depending on the controls ;-)

Smoke: officially 16, but as mentioned the vending machines can not be controlled, but from 2007 the vending machines will only accept credit cards (they are not that common in Germany among teens). We will see if it helps?

Drive: in some areas 17 (accompained) but normally 18
