What is code 78, and do I get it automatically with automatic lessons?

Code 78 appears on your licence once you have taken the practical exam in an automatic. It is not a penalty but a registration: you may then drive all cars without a clutch. If you want that registration gone later, because you want to drive manual, a practical exam in a manual car simply follows.

Can I take a trial lesson in the automatic in Leiderdorp before choosing?

That is actually the best way to choose: you drive a trial lesson through your own neighbourhoods and feel how the automatic responds. Then you decide with your instructor whether to continue like that or try the manual first. Both cars are ready with us, so your choice is never a ghost ride between driving schools.

Where will you pick me up in Leiderdorp?

In every neighbourhood: Voorhof, Buitenhof, Binnenhof and the Leyhof, plus the stretches along the Oude Rijn. You decide yourself whether the lesson starts at home, school or work, and afterwards you are dropped there again. A lesson then costs you only the time you are actually driving.

Driving in Leiderdorp

What driving automatic in Leiderdorp feels like

Leiderdorp sits right against Leiden and you notice it in the traffic: the neighbourhoods along the Oude Rijn are calm and green, but the coastal road and the routes into the city fill up heavily at rush hour. An automatic splits that nicely for you — in Voorhof or the Leyhof you steer calmly between cyclists, and on the coastal road your attention goes to the merging lanes.

Because our base is close by, you take lessons here on the roads you will truly use later: from your own street to school, work or the centre of Leiden. And in doubt about the transmission halfway? You switch within the same school, without losing lessons or progress.
