Driving licence in the Netherlands

Driving licence in the Netherlands

In the Netherlands, if three serious offenses are committed within five years of a license being issued to a new driver, the holder will have their license revoked and must undergo the examination process again to reobtain their license.

The offenses include

  • Tailgating
  • Exceeding the speed limit by at least 30 km/h (19 mph)
  • Drunk driving (blood alcohol content of 0.2 per mille or above)
  • Death or injury by dangerous driving

A moped can be driven by persons aged 16 or over who are in possession of a moped license (Category AM), which can be obtained after sitting a computerised theory test. Practical training or an examination are not required. Holders of an automobile license are allowed to drive a moped without any additional documents or testing.
