Driving Schools in Брисел

Drive on the Right — Belgium uses right-hand traffic. Overtake on the left. On motorways, keep right except when overtaking. Lane discipline is strictly enforced.

Priority from the Right — At uncontrolled intersections, vehicles coming from the right have absolute priority (priorite de droite/voorrang van rechts). This applies even if the road from the right is smaller. One of the most important and frequently tested rules in Belgium.

BAC Limits — General limit: 0.05% BAC (0.5 g/L). Professional drivers: 0.02% BAC. Penalties start at EUR 179 for 0.05-0.08% and can exceed EUR 1,200 above 0.12%. Immediate 3-6 hour driving ban on the spot.

Tram Priority — Trams always have priority over other traffic in Belgium, except when a traffic light or police officer indicates otherwise. You must yield to trams when they are entering or leaving stops. Overtaking a stopped tram on the right (door side) is prohibited.

Low Emission Zones (LEZ) — LEZ zones operate in Brussels, Antwerp, and Ghent. Vehicles must meet minimum emission standards to enter. Registration required for foreign vehicles. Fines: EUR 150-350 per violation. Check eligibility before driving in these cities.

Controle Technique (Vehicle Inspection) — Mandatory biennial vehicle inspection (controle technique/technische keuring). New cars: first inspection after 4 years, then annual after 6 years or 160,000 km (changed September 2024). Must pass to renew registration. Also required before sale.
