Netherlands Driving Theory Test Practice 2026: Practice test 4

1. Question 1 of 25

   Why must you never stop on tram tracks?

   • ATrams have no brakes
   • BTram tracks are electrified
   • CA tram cannot steer around you and needs a long distance to stop
   • DYou will block pedestrians
   Show answer

   Answer: C. A tram cannot steer around you and needs a long distance to stop

   Trams run on rails and are heavy, so they cannot swerve and take a long time to stop.

2. Question 2 of 25

   How should you leave a motorway?

   • AUse the hard shoulder to get to the exit
   • BMove to the right lane in good time and slow down in the exit lane
   • CSlow down on the main carriageway before the exit
   • DBrake in the left lane, then cut across
   Show answer

   Answer: B. Move to the right lane in good time and slow down in the exit lane

   Get into the right lane early and do most of your slowing in the deceleration lane, not on the motorway itself.

3. Question 3 of 25

   What effect does low tyre pressure have?

   • AIt increases fuel use and can affect handling
   • BIt makes braking shorter
   • CIt reduces fuel use
   • DIt has no effect
   Show answer

   Answer: A. It increases fuel use and can affect handling

   Under-inflated tyres have more rolling resistance, so the engine must work harder. Check pressure regularly.

4. Question 4 of 25

   What does this sign mean?

   • ASeparate paths: cyclists on the left, pedestrians on the right
   • BPath shared by pedestrians and cyclists
   • CNo pedestrians or cyclists
   • DCyclists must dismount
   Show answer

   Answer: B. Path shared by pedestrians and cyclists

   The horizontal line with people above and a bicycle below means both groups share the same path, so cyclists must take care of pedestrians.

5. Question 5 of 25

   What blood alcohol limit is recommended at EU level for drivers in general?

   • A1.5 g/l
   • B1.0 g/l
   • C0.8 g/l
   • D0.5 g/l or lower
   Show answer

   Answer: D. 0.5 g/l or lower

   EU road safety guidance says the limit for the general driving population should be 0.5 g/l or lower. Many countries set lower limits for some drivers.

6. Question 6 of 25

   On a three-lane motorway in a country that requires an emergency corridor, where should the vehicles in the middle lane move when traffic stops?

   • ATo the left
   • BTo the right
   • COnto the hard shoulder
   • DStay exactly in the centre
   Show answer

   Answer: B. To the right

   Only the far-left lane moves left. The middle and right lanes move right, so the corridor forms left of the middle lane.

7. Question 7 of 25

   What is a typical early sign that you are too tired to drive safely?

   • AWanting to listen to music
   • BYawning and finding it hard to keep your eyes open
   • CDriving more smoothly than usual

   Drivers most often notice yawning, loss of concentration and heavy eyelids. Stop and rest when you notice them.

8. Question 8 of 25

   You must brake hard in an emergency in a car with ABS. What should you do?

   • APull the handbrake
   • BBrake gently to avoid the vibration
   • CPress the brake pedal fully and keep pressing, even if it vibrates
   • DPump the brake pedal on and off
   Show answer

   Answer: C. Press the brake pedal fully and keep pressing, even if it vibrates

   With ABS, keep firm pressure on the pedal. The vibration is normal and the wheels will not lock, so you can still steer.
