Do we drive through the tunnel during the trial lesson?

Only when you're ready for it. The Sijtwende tunnel under the N14 is part of everyday driving in Leidschendam, but we build up to it calmly in quiet residential streets first. When the moment comes, you drive it with lights, distance and a steady pace — exactly as it should be.

Can I be picked up somewhere other than home?

Of course — the pickup point is yours to choose: your home address, your school or the place where you work, anywhere in Leidschendam. If you work at the Mall of the Netherlands or go to school in the Damcentrum, you simply step in and immediately drive surroundings you already know.

Isn't Leidschendam too busy for a first driving lesson?

No, because we choose the spot together with you. A trial lesson always starts on a quiet residential street with little traffic; the bustle around the Mall of the Netherlands or on the N14 only returns once you say you're ready. That keeps your first introduction pleasant.

Driving in Leidschendam

What your first lesson in Leidschendam feels like

Leidschendam is full of traffic from two worlds: the old water around the Vliet and the Damcentrum on one side, and the motorway plus the shopping bustle of the Mall of the Netherlands on the other. That is exactly why a trial lesson here is so valuable: you immediately discover which traffic suits you.

We certainly start calmly, on a spot close to home that you already know; first the car becomes a familiar place. Only then do we take on the bigger assignments — a tunnel under the N14, a busy roundabout or a stretch of A4 towards The Hague or Leiden.

Why a trial drive in Leidschendam is different here

In the Damcentrum you steer between narrow streets and the quays of the Vliet.

The Sijtwende tunnel under the N14 teaches you lighting, keeping distance and staying cool underground.

Around the Mall of the Netherlands you practise busy roundabouts and pedestrians crossing unexpectedly.

From Leidschendam you drive both ways: the A4 towards Leiden or the N14 towards The Hague.
