Where does the trial lesson start in Valkenburg?

At a quiet point in your part of the village, for example the streets around the old core or in Valkenhorst. You don't have to go anywhere: we are at your door and we build the lesson up from there towards the Ir. Tjalmaweg, once you are ready for it.

Will we drive the trial lesson in an automatic or a manual?

You choose. Both manual and automatic cars are available (code 78), and the trial lesson happens in the car your lessons will use later. Tell us your preference when you apply; in a village like Valkenburg both are easy to practise in.

Do you also practise the exam routes in the region?

Yes. From Valkenburg you naturally end up on the routes that belong to the exam in this region, with the N206 and the A44 as the best-known examples. We rehearse those situations during your lessons, so exam day holds few surprises. You take the practical exam at the CBR; booking is done via cbr.nl.

Driving in Valkenburg

What your first lesson in Valkenburg feels like

Valkenburg lies on the Oude Rijn, between Leiden, Rijnsburg and Katwijk, and for a village of its size it drives surprisingly variedly. We start your trial lesson at a quiet spot near your home, in the streets around the old core or in the new Valkenhorst district on the former airfield.

Once the basics sit, we take the Ir. Tjalmaweg (the N206) or the A44 junctions, and you switch from silent village street to through-traffic. One free lesson is enough to discover whether driving suits you — and how many lessons you will reasonably need afterwards.

Why a trial drive in Valkenburg is different here

The streets along the Oude Rijn and around the old core are quiet enough to learn steering and right of way at your own pace.

In Valkenhorst, the new district on the former airfield, you practise roundabouts and wide, clearly laid-out junctions.

On the Ir. Tjalmaweg (N206) and towards the A44 you learn to join the flow smoothly and keep driving calmly.

The Valkenburgse Meer and the A44 are close by, so village traffic and faster roads alternate quickly.
