ADAC Cologne: Mobility and safety for everyone – Find out more here!
When it comes to mobility and traffic safety in Cologne, the ADAC is an important partner for the people of Cologne. Every year, the automobile club in the cathedral city records thousands of operations, from battery service to traffic advice to mobile breakdown assistance, which is available around the clock, 365 days a year, as Rheinische Anzeigeblatt reports. It also points out that the average waiting time for roadside assistance in Cologne is around 38 minutes. A good reason to view the ADAC as a reliable partner in everyday life.
The modern ADAC test center in the Ossendorf district of Cologne impresses with its wide range of vehicle tests, including general inspections, brake checks and battery tests. In addition, the ADAC also offers comprehensive advice on driving license issues, traffic law and a wide variety of environmental zones. These services are particularly important for the Cologne population, who are often confronted with changes and requirements in the transport sector.
Driving license conversion made easy
Another service that the ADAC offers in Cologne is support in converting foreign driving licenses, especially for citizens from non-EU countries. These lose their validity six months after registering a permanent residence in Germany. Therefore, a German driving license is necessary in order to continue to drive a vehicle. The ADAC-Nordrhein-Westfalen provides translation and classification services that work quickly and reliably. The required documents, such as the original driver's license and ID, can be processed within a few days.
The costs for a classic translation and classification start at 65 euros, while pure classification is available for 25 euros. Practical: A Click & Collect service allows you to collect the documents directly from the ADAC Center. For regions where this is not possible, there is now also postal delivery.
Support with traffic education
A good example of the ADAC's commitment in Cologne is traffic education for children and young people. In collaboration with schools and kindergartens, the ADAC offers various programs that raise awareness of road safety. These programs can be booked free of charge for schools and daycare centers and include exciting modules such as “Attention, Car” for 5th and 6th grade students, in which the stopping reaction is taught in a playful way, or “Watch out with ADACUS,” an interactive learning program for the little ones that explains traffic rules in a playful way.
A highlight is the popular cycling tournament, where children between the ages of 8 and 15 can put their skills to the test on a course. Here the young people not only learn how to use their bikes safely, but also the importance of a helmet - it reduces the risk of serious head injuries and should not be underestimated.
The ADAC in Cologne offers more than just breakdown assistance. It is a competence center for all matters relating to mobility, road safety and numerous educational offers that help to gradually make Cologne a safer place for all road users.
