A 76-year-old resident of Alkmaar wants to renew his B licence. What applies to him when renewing?
- If the check takes long, he may keep driving for a while after the expiry date
- ✓ He must have a medical check and then gets 5 years of validity
- He must have a medical check and then gets 10 years of validity
Correct answer: He must have a medical check and then gets 5 years of validity
Explanation
False — you assume 10 years for everyone. Anyone who is 70 or older at the time of issue gets a licence that is valid for 5 years. From 75 a medical check also comes with renewing
