A 68-year-old resident of Alkmaar applies for a new B licence at the town hall. What applies to that new licence?
- ✓ It is valid until the day he turns 75
- It is valid for 10 years, just like any other B licence
- First a medical check, after that it is valid until he turns 75
Correct answer: It is valid until the day he turns 75
Explanation
False — you assume 10 years for everyone. Anyone who is 65 or older but not yet 70 at the time of issue gets a licence that is valid until the day they turn 75. For this 68-year-old that is less than 10 years. (Reglement rijbewijzen art. 25a | WVW 1994 art. 107 | VekaBest p.24 (tail Hoofdstuk 2 §2.1))
Why learners get this wrong
- Wrong: you assume 10 years for everyone. Anyone who is 65 or older but not yet 70 at the time of issue gets a licence that is valid until the day they turn 75. For this 68-year-old that is less than 10 years.
- Wrong: you think every renewal requires a medical check. That check only comes with renewing the licence from age 75; at 68 it does not apply yet
