pedes crossing. : ( could have shot the fucker who decided very unkindly to waltz onto it
I got my license on the 2nd try. I was pretty nervous on the first try but on the 2nd I managed to memorize the route and kept my cool.
[QUOTE=rebellious;27215995]feel for you, i failed 2 mins before the end on one too. how fucking unlucky.[/QUOTE] congratulations, how did you celebrate?
[QUOTE=Xeloo;27213372]I failed the fourth time today. You have to take a written exam and a driving exam in The Netherlands. Passed the written exam on my first try (costs €35/$45) and driving exams cost €235/$300. That means I've already wasted $1200 dollars!! And I also have to pay my driving instructor €1300/$1700. And if you fail 4 times you have to take a different exam which costs more but it's not as hard.[/QUOTE] Damn. Driving exams are like 30€ (if not less) here.
[QUOTE=Murkrow;27218865]Damn. Driving exams are like 30€ (if not less) here.[/QUOTE] The average Dutch person pays €2200,- for their driving license and testing, that is if they pass the first time. The exam itself is about €300,- and the theoretic exam €60,- On top of that will come an extra €35,- for the actual card. For motorcycles it's usually €1000,- , that's because people usually need less lessons.
I passed on my third attempt. Its very disheartening to fail a driving test once, twice is worse but when you learn from your mistakes and finally get told congratulations you've passed its a fucking great feeling. Its expensive but worth it, it will save you much bother in the future so keep at it.
[QUOTE=cosmic duck;27212509]might have been something to do with us having the same first name :P[/QUOTE] Cosmic ?? Just remember, the cost of re-sitting the exams are nothing compared to what you'll pay for in insurance.
Another tip I forgot, don't tell all your friends you're doing your test. Extra pressure and nerves that you could do without. :)
