Having never driven on the wrong side, I was wondering how difficult it would be for me to rent a car at schiphol and drive to Zwolle. I dont particularly want to get a train with all our luggage or get a taxi at over 200 euros for the trip, when I can hire a car for the same money for a week.

In all honesty driving on the wrong side is not so hard.  The hard part is knowing where to go and figuring out how to get back when you take a wrong turn.  A great co-driver or Navigation will help.  If you can drive on the motorway and change lanes and take the big round abouts...  it is not so different to be on the other side.    

 

Just think about where you need to be before you turn!!! think RIGHT!!!

 

 

 

Hi everyone. 

 

So I have just booked in for my theroy in two weeks.  There are quite a few english test a month in utrecht- if you call 3 a lot.

 

I still haven't found an english book, but am going to try the http://www.traffictrainer.nl/website/default.asp that was suggested- so thanks.

 

Has anyone found a book??  Any other suggestions? hints? tips?  Have driven a bit in europe, but never in the Netherlands.  My mum is coming over in June and I really need to get my licence so we can go on a road trip!   I have a british licence (I am a kiwi) but I applied for it while I was a resident in the Netherlands... and there are so many flash cars around I don't want to tempt fate and the insurance company!!  

 

any ho, wish me luck! 

 

Hello Did you have any luck with the bookclub? I'd be keen to join. I have been living in Utrecht with my boyfriend for 1 and a half years now... but mostly hang out with his friends.. it would be good to have a few of my own friends! Roanna
