Just got my licence, and i managed it with quite a bit of errors. Luckily only minor ones, but too many minor ones may also result in failing the exam. It all comes down to being lucky if all the factors that can give you a hard time are not against you. If nobody is making your life miserable while you are doing the exam. Other than that you. just do what you have been taught; -use your mirrors/shoulder check the way the examinator wants it and do it. so he can see you doing it. -Do not forgot to turn on/off the indicator. -Whilst driving on the highway, do not put yourself in a tough spot but get away from it before you getting into one. (blind corners/ behind or in between trucks etc) -When entering highway, show them you oversee the situation before you even think of merging (as in; show him/her that you check what is going on way before merging and only when merging you use indicator and keep some distance between you and cars when entering the ramp so you have space to decide where to merge. ...the list goes on and on :D Fun to see you driving in my hometown and where i also did my exam. Guess you will have the exam @ CBR Rijswijk... You will start the exam at the big parking lot 1km away from CBR, at Lange Kleiweg.
Just got my license too. I did not look over the shoulder on a highway once, so the lady gave me a second chance on a highway. Luckily second time was good enough. We started the exam right from the CBR parking at Lange Kleiweg 30, I had my car exam started from the second location down the road to Delft. The exam only took about 30 minutes, but the lessons :) 9 months, 4k euros (2 failed AVD), that was a long road.
@@rideinnl Congrats! Must be a great feeling of victory :D I had a bit shorter road in terms of money; 1.6k but took me 1 year as i did not drive in the winter and 1x failed AVB due to managing somehow to stop 1 meter too early on both precision stop exercises,.....but it felt as pure victory and a long desired dream coming true. Make sure you video your first ride as you might want to analyse that one as well. I know i will - still saving for a Z900 i am though... Maybe ill manage to get one next year (got my licence 10 months go... but financial situation is not really helping me getting a nice bike on short notice, even second hand ones with quite a bit of use are still pricey! What bike you plan to get? Drive safe when you do :)
@@jg7173Thanks. Doing AVB in winter is fun, especially when it's freezing; I think I managed to fail almost all of the exercises :) Prices on second-hand bikes are insane; I am thinking about Tracer 9; they have a 5-year warranty from this year, and hopefully, it will help the bike retain its value. But with financing I will have to take all risk casko, which is 100 a month itself :/ Lets see, first need to book a test ride. Sometimes, I think about naked bikes, like the MT07 or the same CB650 I was learning to ride, but then I look out the window. Unfortunately all the naked bikes with windshields look bad :)
@@rideinnl for example New 2024 model - 0km usage: €10k A 2020 - 2022 model second hand bike with 10k upto 20k kilometer usage....average €8500 This way i think i just get a second hand, save money again and sell the bike for nearly the same price i bought it and buy a new one... Just crazy how these prices stay up this high. I never was fond of naked bikes, but wind will always be a factor (on the highway mostly). unless you get a big ass windscreen, like what is on a Harley or Goldwing. Tracer is also nice, surely comfortable, but, expensive :D. Goodluck with the entire process of choosing, trying, and eventually buying. Post some video's once you on a bike again :) Always fun to see a new rider developing himself...
We are told that 108 is the minimun that we should be driving on a highway, so entering at 120-130 is fine, just a bit scary every time :) The exam is in a week.

It all comes down to being lucky if all the factors that can give you a hard time are not against you. If nobody is making your life miserable while you are doing the exam.
Other than that you. just do what you have been taught;
-use your mirrors/shoulder check the way the examinator wants it and do it. so he can see you doing it.
-Do not forgot to turn on/off the indicator.
-Whilst driving on the highway, do not put yourself in a tough spot but get away from it before you getting into one. (blind corners/ behind or in between trucks etc)
-When entering highway, show them you oversee the situation before you even think of merging (as in; show him/her that you check what is going on way before merging and only when merging you use indicator and keep some distance between you and cars when entering the ramp so you have space to decide where to merge.

And you need to go 105 + on the highway, taking ower cars on the right side (I am guilty of this too). When is your exam?

@@rideinnl thats super close Mine is on the 27th good luck for us both!
