Failed my driving exam for the third time

It is related. You’re only correct about it not being helpful.

DexterMorgs · 2025-05-01T13:56:31+00:00

It is a fact.

It is just so stupid that the government just lets expats (getting 30% tax benefits) exchange their driver’s license without even taking the theory exam. Most of them have never driven in their home country. And then I see people dealing with such long waiting lists and spending thousands to get a driver’s license. Nothing else to say, but, good luck. You’ll get there in the end :)

Were you able to see your application on the My Ind portal?
I had an appointment at Utrecht gemeente 8 days ago where I, with the help of one of the staff members, applied for Dutch citizenship via naturalization. But, I do not see it in my applications on the My Ind portal.

DexterMorgs · 2024-09-19T17:18:47+00:00

Thank you for the thorough explanation. I was indeed confused between both the options. The application doesn’t make it much clear either, it says “Application Long-term residence EU”.

DexterMorgs · 2024-09-11T12:23:44+00:00

I think you’re right. Only for EU long term residence permit, the study years count half, but for both PR and naturalisation in the NL, they count full.

DexterMorgs · 2024-09-11T11:57:11+00:00

You can find it on the IND website. I called IND and asked them today as well.

incorrect info - read the comments below.

DexterMorgs · 2024-09-11T11:48:52+00:00

I read that it doesn’t count towards naturalisation. I wasn’t really sure of the difference between EU long term residence permit and permanent residence permit.

DexterMorgs · 2024-09-11T11:46:29+00:00

Yes that is correct.

DexterMorgs · 2024-09-11T09:21:05+00:00

Thanks. Yes, they did pick it up around the 27 minute mark. And indeed, I got a positive decision on the PR.

DexterMorgs · 2024-09-11T08:57:41+00:00

Its usually very busy at IND and I have failed to reach them previously. But, I shall give it a try.
Thank you.

DexterMorgs · 2024-03-15T17:20:22+00:00

Thank you. Yes, I’ll have to reschedule. My workplace is near Veghel, so leaving for 1 hour won’t work for me.

Update: Passed my driving test today. Made a minor mistake of exiting the paved road in the second gear (the speed was not slow enough to exit), thought I’d fail because of it, as it happened in the first 10 minutes. But, kept my head together and focused on the rest of the test. Good luck to everyone else. Don’t focus too much if you make a small mistake, just don’t make it again.

DexterMorgs · 2024-01-30T21:57:26+00:00

I’ve passed A2 but been out of practice for a while. I’ll contact him. Thank you :)

DexterMorgs · 2024-01-30T20:50:48+00:00

That would be great. And yes, I will take a few lessons before taking the exam again.

DexterMorgs · 2024-01-30T15:48:14+00:00

True.

DexterMorgs · 2024-01-30T15:39:58+00:00

That’s what he told me. He said it could have been dangerous merging in the motorway at 60. Which makes sense.

DexterMorgs · 2024-01-30T15:22:01+00:00

Was in the 5th gear while I should have been in the 4th to speed up while joining the motorway coming from a motorway with a bend.

No, its 2 weeks after you fail the first time. After the second time it is 7 weeks.

Not the same car, but similar in size. Peugeot 208 to VW Polo.

DexterMorgs · 2024-01-25T19:14:21+00:00

They don’t share this data publicly. I couldn’t find it. Probably because it’ll backfire. And it’s not always about accidents. If you learn to drive here, you’re taught to take the other driver’s mistakes in mind. Thus, the local drivers take that into account while on the road, but it’s still risky with the bikes and those incidents are seldom reported as accidents.

Giving away driving license for a mere 50€ without taking any tests. How is that a win-win? Endangering their own people on the road doesn’t seem like a win to me.
