Q: What is the maximum legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) for experienced drivers in the Netherlands?

0.5 promille (0.5 g/l). The legal BAC limit for experienced drivers in the Netherlands is 0.5 promille (0.5 g/l). Exceeding this results in fines, licence suspension, and potentially criminal charges.

Q: Since July 2025, e-scooters (LEVs) are legal in the Netherlands. Where must they be ridden?

On cycle paths only. E-scooters were legalized on 1 July 2025 as "light electric vehicles" (LEVs). They must use cycle paths, be limited to 25 km/h, carry RDW approval, and have insurance and a registration plate. Riders must be at least 16 years old.

Q: What is the default speed limit in built-up areas (bebouwde kom) in the Netherlands?

50 km/h. The default speed limit in Dutch built-up areas is 50 km/h, unless signs indicate otherwise. Many cities are expanding 30 km/h zones, but 50 km/h remains the legal default.

Q: What is the speed limit on Dutch motorways between 06:00 and 19:00?

100 km/h. Since March 2020, the daytime speed limit on Dutch motorways is 100 km/h (06:00-19:00) to reduce nitrogen emissions. At night (19:00-06:00), the limit is 130 km/h unless otherwise posted.

Q: At an unmarked intersection in the Netherlands, who has priority?

Traffic coming from the right. The "voorrang van rechts" (priority from the right) rule applies at unmarked intersections in the Netherlands. Traffic approaching from the right has priority unless signs or markings indicate otherwise.

Q: What is the Dutch theory test format?

Since April 2025, the CBR theory exam has 50 questions with integrated animated hazard perception scenarios (previously 65 questions). You need 44 out of 50 correct to pass (88%). The test takes 30 minutes and costs €50.50. It covers traffic rules, hazard perception, speed zones, cyclist infrastructure, and right-of-way situations.

Q: What do cyclists have priority on roundabouts?

On most Dutch roundabouts, cyclists on the circular fietspad (cycle path) have priority over motor vehicles entering or exiting the roundabout. This is indicated by haaietanden (shark teeth) markings. However, not all roundabouts give cyclists priority — always check the road markings and signage.

FAQ

Does the Netherlands have a penalty points system?

No! The Netherlands is one of the few EU countries with NO penalty points system. Traffic violations are handled through the Mulder administrative fine system (WAHV). Fines are purely financial and collected by the CJIB. There is no accumulation of points that could lead to licence suspension. However, serious offences can lead to criminal prosecution and licence suspension through the courts.

What is the motorway speed limit — 100 or 130 km/h?

Both! Since March 2020, the Netherlands has a unique daytime/nighttime split: 100 km/h during the day (06:00–19:00) and 120–130 km/h at night (19:00–06:00), varying by section. This was introduced due to the nitrogen crisis (stikstofcrisis). In 2025, approximately 86 km of motorway was reverted to 130 km/h at all times.

How much does a driving licence cost in the Netherlands?

The total cost for a Category B rijbewijs is typically €2,500–€3,500. This includes: Gezondheidsverklaring €46.90, driving lessons (~42 hours at €49–65/hr), CBR theory exam €50.50, CBR practical exam €143.50, and licence application at gemeente max €53.65. Costs vary by city, with Amsterdam being the most expensive.
