This is what you need to know for the new driving test in 2024

From 2024, the driving license test for cars will change, the B driving license. During the practical test, questions about driver assistance systems can be asked.

All sorts of questions about the car can be asked while driving. For example, you may need to point to the dipstick and know where the rear fog light button is. From 2024 onwards, further questions can therefore be asked.

New questions during the driving test

Cars have changed significantly in recent years, and it’s not just about the introduction of electric and hybrid powertrains. Safety in the car has continued to improve. This is not just due to better and more airbags and improved crumple zones. No, this is also due to safety and driver assistance systems. The new questions in the driving license test therefore relate to these systems.

New cars often have more than just cruise control, parking sensors and navigation. All kinds of driver assistance systems can also be found in new models. It is not only useful to know how to use these systems, but also to know for sure what they do and how to intervene. According to CBR, not everyone knows which systems are installed in their car. By including these safety systems in the driving test, the CBR expects candidates to be prepared for this topic.

A logical consequence is that new drivers know better which assistance systems a car has.

Get your driver’s license easier

In the practical part of the driving test, new questions about driver assistance systems can be asked. Of course, you never know in advance what question you will get or whether you will get a question at all. However, there are tricks that make obtaining a driving license easier.
