 🔊 Penalty points
THEORIEEXAMEN  driving licence
🔊 All drivers have a penalty points driving licence. The purpose of a penalty points driving
licence is to combat driving under the influence. If you are convicted of driving with too
much alcohol in your blood, you get a penalty point on your driving licence that will last 5 years.
If you are convicted of driving under the influence again within 5 years of the first offence, you
will get a new point which will last for 5 years. But if you are convicted of driving with more than
1.3 promille alcohol in your blood and you still have a penalty point on your driving licence, you
will lose your licence immediately. You then have to get your driving licence again.

🔊 Penalty points beginner's driving licence

🔊 You have a beginners driving licence for 5 years. By means of the beginners driving licence,
the government can take a stricter approach to beginning drivers who drive irresponsibly
and dangerously. A new driver can receive penalty points if he or she is stopped for a traffic
offence. After two convictions for serious traffic offences, the beginner's driving licence must be
handed over to the police. Examples of serious traffic violations are:

🔊 causing a traffic accident

cause danger or hindrance
tailgating at a speed of more than 80 km / h
driving 40 km / h over speed limit on the motorway
driving 30 km / h over speed limit on a different road than a motorway

existing licence or exchange your foreign licence for a Dutch one.

insured, you can be fined. The RDW (National Road Administration)
checks whether all vehicles are insured. Only if you do not park your car on
public roads, you can suspend the licence plate. Then your car does not
have to be insured and you do not have to pay road tax.

🔊 You must at least have a third party liability insurance (WA verzekering). This insurance
only covers the damage that has occurred to other road users for which you are liable.
A third party liability+ insurance (WA+ verzekering) covers part of the damage caused to
your own car.
An all-risk insurance covers all damages.

🔊
Green card
🔊 A green card is an international insurance certificate. In the Netherlands and most other
countries, you do not have to carry the green card with you. Nevertheless, it is

🔊 the type of fuel
how polluting the vehicle is
the weight of the vehicle
the province in which the owner of the vehicle lives

🔊 Registration certificate and registration card

🔊 Each vehicle has a registration certificate. Since 1 January 2014, the RDW (National Road

certificate in your car. The licence plate holder's details and the technical data of the vehicle are
