Germany: My wife got her license rather late, recently. The costs were roughly the same (for "B"). You're on a two year 'probation' period. Any offense that would lead to an entry in our "You did something wrong and we're awarding you points for that" database means that you'll lose your license - with a well-defined process to restart / try to recover it. This includes speeding over a certain limit (say, 20km/h over the limit in towns for example) or running a red light, ignoring a stop sign etc.. All of these are - in theory, if you're caught, instant reasons to lose your license. We don't have costs after the 2 years though, the license just graduates and becomes permanent. Now you'd receive a certain number of points for the offenses listed above and there are limits that might require you to take driving lessons again or - in bad cases - might again lead to the loss of your license.
