- If you are in the Eindhoven area, I genuinely recommend my driving instructor, Mike van den Hout. Feel free to contact ANWB and inquire about the option of taking lessons with him.

I just got my license, and for me, the hardest part was finding a good driving instructor. What are you struggling (or struggled) with the most?
My nervous got to stressed every exam making mistakes I normally did not make but after 3 exams I got it
@@thebloodmoonwarrior totally understandable! I also got super nervous 😃 Congratulations on getting your license!
I have fourth attempt in July. The main problem I face is that I donot look far away, therefore missing boards and too late to react to situations. Further smoothness in the speed (going with the traffic) is bit problematic.
@@rohitnirmal1024 uhhh, I was struggling with it as well but somehow it clicked at some point. It will happen for you too 🤗
Pls can I take the theory exam in English
Congrats!!!, I love your channel. Continue making informative videos❤❤🧡Drive safely.
Thank you so much! You are always welcome here on my channel 🙏🫶
Great video, tip look carefully at the cycle paths 😎
Thank you for watching! Yess, good tip 🙌 Bicycles are everywhere in the Netherlands;)
Congrats! I still remember my first trip after getting my license. I had to pick up my car at the HQ of the company I worked for, and drive some 120 km to get back home. Had all the time in the world to get used to the car once I was on the highway.
Thank you! :) Woww quite a ride for the first time!!
@@theselfishcodependent Yep. Wouldn't like to do it again at my current age ;o).
Hi congrats for your license! I am always feel excitement when a 'buitenlander' get their license in NL; another survival kit unlocked 😅 I am preparing for my 3rd exam next month. 🤞
The most difficult part in learning to drive is to "embody" my knowledge in theory into the way I respond behind the steering wheel. 😅 Takes a lot if time to practice, unlearn, and learn again.
Thank you! And thank you for watching the video! :) I'm sure you'll get it too, it's just a matter of time ✨🙏
Thanks for the interview with your instructor and congratulations for getting your driving licence! I've got and confirmed a few important moments that I thought may be a problem in the process of getting my driving licence here in the Netherlands. The car, you should feel comfortable not like me, don't reach the pedals (even after adjusting the seat) and the instructor didn't say anything about that I have to try at least a pillow. The fact that you come from another country and you are not used to the Dutch rules and situations that may occur in traffic. The habits you've got if you have another driving licence, even if you didn't drive after getting it in your country. And of course the instructor (I underestimated this moment when I decided to change the school). If you find a good one don't make a mistake like me to let him/ her go just because of customer service.
Thank you for watching 🙂 I absolutely agree. In my experience, an instructor is much more important than a school. If I were to do it again, I'd be choosing an instructor not necessarily a school.
I really liked the talk with Mike, he seems like such a nice man. If possible, for the next video I would like to know how many hours does he thinks it takes for immigrants that already have a foreign driving licenses to adjust to the "right" way of driving in here, like he mentioned 40-50 hours for people that had never driven before, would it be half of it or even less?
Thank you for watching! Totally! Mike is an incredible instructor and a very kind person. Good question! Maybe we will film another interview if there are a lot of questions ;)
No vla?
Thank you for the informative video! I am international and am so (nearly) halfway to get a driver's license. Totally agree that picking the instructor is the most challenging on the way to getting a driver's license. Btw congratulations! Good job :-)
Thank you for watching the video! 🙏Soon I'll be congratulating you on your driver's license as well ✨💚
