‘Along with the times’
Are you going to take the practical exam for your driving license in 2024? Then read carefully about the driver assistance systems that your training car has. Anyone who is going to drive in 2024 can expect questions about driver assistance systems during the practical exam.
As of 2024, the CBR will introduce something new for the practical exam. From next year, during the preparation and inspection actions, you will be asked questions about the driver assistance systems, the CBR reports. For example, you can count on questions about lane assist, traffic sign recognition and things like parking sensors.
According to Anton Hols of CBR Vakopleidingen, the questions to be introduced next year about the driver assistance systems are comparable to questions that are already being asked about, for example, the tires or the oil level. “You have to know something about the vehicle you drive. And we also take these new developments into account,” says Hols. “It is not necessary for someone to drive off in the latest car with everything you need. Yet there are already more driver assistance systems on older cars than people sometimes realize. Almost all cars have cruise control, parking sensors and navigation. These are also driver assistance systems that were once new, but now belong to a car.”
Since 2016, exam candidates have been allowed to use ADAS systems while driving. Those who drive off can decide for themselves whether, for example, they will drive with lane assist on or off. It has long been customary to have the candidate drive to a location ‘on navigation’ during the exam. Automatic parking is excluded from the practical exam.
