What is the interim test for the car?

An interim test is a kind of test exam. The test takes as long as a practical exam and you do the same things. This is how you already get used to the exam situation. You will also receive tips from a CBR examiner to continue practicing during your next driving lessons.
You also do special operations during your test. Are you doing that right? Then you get an exemption. That means that you no longer have to do this with your first exam after your test. In our video we give tips for the special transactions.

How long is the exemption for the special transactions valid?
The exemption remains valid until your first practical exam after your test. There is no end date here.
Do you take multiple interim tests for your practical exam? Then only the result of the last test applies. Do you achieve the special transactions with an earlier test, but not with the latter? Then you have no exemption for the exam.

Your exemption is no longer valid if you do not pass the exam. Unfortunately, the examiner did not see that you could drive enough. That is why you also have to do the special operations again.

Exemption achieved with an automatic transmission
Do you achieve the special transactions in a car with automatic switching system (automatic)? Then the exemption only applies if you also drive with an automatic transmission during the practical exam. Do you drive off with a manual car? Then you still have to do the special transactions.
Conversely, this is not the case. If you get the special transactions with a manual car, the exemption also remains valid if you take a practical exam in a vending machine.

When can I do an interim test?
You always do the interim test before you do your practical exam or further research driving skills. For an interim car you have to be at least 16.5 years old. You must also have passed your theory exam.

What should I take to the interim test?
For the interim test for the car you have to take the following things with you:

• The invitation.
• Your valid proof of identity. You may not take an exam without proof of identity.
• The completed form "Self -reflection". You can download this form on our website, or ask for your trainer.
• Did you not pass the theory exam? Then you can only take the interim test if you can show one of the documents below on the exam:
  
  • a valid military theory certificate;
  • A Dutch driving license B automatic code 78, this driver's license may have expired;
  • A valid EU, honor or Swiss driver's license B automatic code 78
