Last year, my company sponsored me the cost for acquiring a Belgian Driving Licence and the associated training costs. To start off with, I prepared for the Theory examination in April and successfully cleared it. The Theory exam comprises of 40 multiple-choice questions. One needs to get a minimum of 32 questions right. On top of this there will be some “serious offence” questions thrown. If anyone screws up with more than one serious offence questions, he is declared fail, even if he has answered 38 out of 40 questions right! The questions were in dutch, so I took the assitance of a translator. He will translate the question in English and he will not repeat it second time. So need to be very attentive. Was an interesting experience.

Having passed the theory examination, I started my driving lessons from driving school. The total cost of driving lessons is 1000 Euros! A total of 20 hours of driving lessons will be taught. That’s 50 Euros per hour. I completed the initial phase of 8 hours driving lesson and I was instructed to acquire a temporary driving licence and to practice on my own. Since I didn’t had access to any car, I couldn’t practice. I am starting off with my remaining lessons this week. I think I have forgotten all my previous lessons . Anyway, I will just take up the lessons and if I am lucky, will pass the practical examination. The Belgian licence is accepted almost in all places in the world. It’s intersting to note thatn the Indian International licence is not accepted in Belgium!
