Geocaching is a highway; we want to ride it all night long! Thankfully, geocachers don’t normally need a driver’s license to find a geocache, but this one is slightly different! So hop in the car, travel to Switzerland, and see if you can pass this driver’s test to find Der Weg zum Führerschein 🚘(GC8NKE4).

To find this geocache, geocachers must pass a few theoretical tests. Here’s what cache owner JaMaDuLi says about the cache: “Anyone who wants to drive a vehicle obviously needs a driving license. To obtain one, you must first successfully pass a theoretical test, followed by a practical test.

The following steps must also be completed to obtain the ‘geocaching driving license’:
1. Theory test
2. Driving safety course
3. Practical driving test”

To take the test, go to the cache page, find the associated link, and answer the 30 driving-related questions. Don’t get in a traffic jam; there are several possible answers to each question, but only one is correct.

After navigating the tricky questions, the results will appear immediately after completing the test. To check your answers, add them to the geochecker on the cache page. If a geocacher gets a passing score, the geochecker will show the information about the final location.

Once at the final location, geocachers must carefully pull or tilt the lever of the cache container at the bottom left to open it and reveal the logbook. Geocachers will find geocaching driver’s licenses to fill out to show completion and qualification for logging the cache.

Since this geocache is a Letterbox Hybrid, it is incomplete without a stamp. Remember to get the stamp of approval!

With your new geocaching driver’s license, where will you drive next?
