Driving School Dekker – The oldest Driving School in The Netherlands
In the Netherlands we have special rules and laws for passing your driving test, keeping your driving license or changing a foreign license into a Dutch one. Dekker is specialized in guiding foreigners towards the driving test. We have English speaking instructors and we can also help you to pass your theory exam (classical or individual).
Once you’re here in Holland your foreign driving license is valid for six months. After that period (the period from the moment that you are registered here until six months later) you need to have a Dutch license. Depending on the country you’re from some licenses can be changed into the Dutch one or you will have to pass the Dutch driving test (theory as well as practical).
