[Music] Exam route in Tilburg Berkel-Enschot Route Tilburg Centre Tilburg-South Welcome to this new video from Rijschool StarDriving. We are at the CBR in Berkel Enschot. In this video, we will show you the route Tilburg Centre Tilburg-South. In the beginning, the examiner will explain how the exam proceeds and what he or she expects from you. After checking your identity document, you must do an eye test by reading a license plate of a stationary car at about 25 meters distance. After this, the candidate and examiner walk to the vehicle, where the examiner asks questions about the car, for example, about checking tires or what is under the hood, or the lights on the dashboard. In most cases, your instructor may ride along during the practical exam, if you wish. Sometimes this is not possible because a second CBR employee is riding along, for example, an examiner in training. The instructor will then be present at the initial and final discussion. You will get two special maneuvers. If you have performed the special maneuver correctly during the interim test, you will receive an exemption. This means the examiner will no longer test you on that part during your practical car exam. During the exam drive, you will drive independently to a certain destination for a part of the route. You do this using a navigation system. For the most part, you will drive at the examiner's instruction. [Music] If there is no response, it is always straight ahead. Here you must have looked to both sides of the bike path early on. Keep looking at the signs, then you will know how the situation and the speed are regulated in this street. If you have side streets that you cannot see well, try to be sharper in this street. [Music] Also keep an eye on side streets from the left, even though you have priority. If there are parked cars, you want to overtake cyclists, or you have a road narrowing, then you must overtake in the correct way. You do this by looking in the interior mirror, left exterior mirror, and over your left shoulder. Then you overtake. Before you return, you must look in the interior mirror, right exterior mirror, and over your right shoulder. Here you have an intersection where you must yield to the right. The visibility is very limited, which is why you must approach at an adjusted speed. At a broken line, you may drive on the bike path. Here we see that the road is not wide enough. When an oncoming vehicle arrives, you may drive on the bike path. After you have looked. [Music] [Music] In Berkel Enschot, there are stickers on the lampposts. That is good to know. [Music] This sign indicates that you are at a priority intersection and that you have priority from the left. This sign indicates that you have priority from the right. If there is an oncoming vehicle on a narrow road, you must adjust your speed accordingly. In a school zone, you must maintain 30 if possible and always take children into account. [Music] [Music] [Music] When you enter the 60 zone area, try to drive 60 as quickly as possible if possible. Continue to check every 10 seconds by looking in your interior mirror, left exterior mirror, and right exterior mirror. [Music] The candidate goes under a viaduct here. Here you must take into account that you will drive on the bike path because it is too narrow. Before you drive onto the bike path, you must look in the correct way: interior mirror, right exterior mirror, and right shoulder. And if it is clear, then you drive onto the bike path. Make sure you reduce your speed in time. The mirror is useful to look at so you know who is coming. After the viaduct, adjust your speed in time and pay good attention to the first shark teeth. If no cyclists are coming, then continue to the second shark teeth. You are not allowed to stop on a bike path or a pedestrian crossing. This is a regulated intersection. Look carefully at the traffic signs and signals beforehand. Straight-ahead traffic has priority over turning traffic. The candidate is performing their observation correctly, so when turning right, look in your interior mirror, right exterior mirror, and over your right shoulder. Then you give the turn signal to the right and then you look again in the interior mirror, right exterior mirror, and over your right shoulder. At equal intersections, right always has priority. Continue to perform the check every 10 seconds by looking in your interior mirror, left exterior mirror, and right exterior mirror. If there are parked cars, you want to overtake cyclists, or you have a road narrowing, then you must overtake in the correct way. You do this by looking in the interior mirror, left exterior mirror, and over your left shoulder. Then you overtake. Before you return, you must look in the interior mirror, right exterior mirror, and over your right shoulder. Here the candidate will perform their first special maneuver, namely forward parking. Choose a spot that is easy for you. Don't make it difficult for yourself. Try to park where there are fewer cars. Try to perform the special maneuver at an adjusted speed using a slipping clutch. Your observation must be performed correctly. Before you drive out of a parking space, you must look around carefully. For special maneuvers, you must let everyone pass. After you have finished a special maneuver, you must always perform the follow-up check. At an exit, you must give everyone priority. [Music] You must cross the canal here. If the examiner says nothing, in this case, you must look carefully over your right shoulder for cyclists and scooters. The candidate saw beforehand that a young man on a moped was coming. Smart choice that he decided to yield. [Music] Also keep an eye on side streets from the left, even though you have priority. At an intersection and in a bend, you are not allowed to overtake, and you must keep sufficient distance from cyclists. Always try to keep to the rightmost lane. Only when you have a truck, tractor, or bus in front of you will you move to the left lane. You have two lanes here to the left. If you chose the right lane for the traffic light, then after the turn, you must always end up in the right lane. If you chose the left lane for the traffic light, then after the turn, you must also end up in the left lane. When you are stopped, you can have a chat with the examiner. Always start your planning early. When braking, you must always look in the interior mirror. When turning, it is very important to look over your shoulder again. [Music] [Music] Very smart of the candidate not to overtake in the bend. Try to look early to see if traffic is coming at the intersection. The sign indicates that you have shark teeth and must yield. [Music] If there is an oncoming vehicle on a narrow road, you must adjust your speed accordingly. Continue to perform the check every 10 seconds by looking in your interior mirror, left exterior mirror, and right exterior mirror. At equal intersections, you must yield to the right. Try to adjust your speed to the situation beforehand. The correct observation when approaching intersections is forward, to the left, forward, to the right. After the intersection, you perform the follow-up check using the interior mirror, left exterior mirror, and right exterior mirror. [Music] This sign indicates that it is a one-way street. [Music] [Music] [Music] It is not a problem at all if you take a wrong turn on your exam, as long as you are safe and do not hinder other traffic. In this situation, I could have let the candidate drive straight ahead, but I saw that no traffic was coming, and I really wanted to show this most frequently driven exam route. [Music] At unclear intersections, you must reduce speed more. [Music] This sign means that it is a mandatory direction of travel. You are not allowed to stop on a bike path or pedestrian crossing. This mirror is useful to look at to see if traffic is coming. Try not to look at the gear stick when shifting, because then you won't know what is happening in front of you. When you arrive at a traffic light and it turns orange, you must quickly make a choice: either you stop or continue. If you can stop safely before the traffic light, try to do so. Keep your interior mirror in mind while doing so. When you are stopped next to a traffic light, you can always have a chat with the examiner. [Music] Very good of the candidate that he continues to observe his surroundings despite the red traffic light. Try to always look into the side street at a green traffic light, because someone might still run a red light. At a priority road, you have priority from the left and right. [Music] This orange arrow means that you can also expect cyclists. Make sure you look carefully over your right shoulder. [Music] Here the candidate will perform their second special maneuver, namely parallel parking backwards. You must stop correctly next to that car. Look in the interior mirror, right exterior mirror, and over your right shoulder. Then give your turn signal and look again in the interior mirror, right exterior mirror, and over your right shoulder. Before you start, you must apply the correct observation. Here you must always let other traffic pass. Try to perform it at a calm speed. Use your slipping clutch for this. [Music] The candidate decides to stop because a cyclist is coming. After you have stopped, you must start looking again because the situation may have changed. [Music] Try to apply the correct steering moments. [Music] The candidate comes a bit too far from the curb, causing him to make an independent decision to correct. [Music] [Music] [Music] While correcting, you must still keep an eye on the traffic instead of just looking at your reversing camera. Also try to drive away correctly. Look in the interior mirror, left exterior mirror, and over your left shoulder. Then give your turn signal to the left and then look again in the interior mirror, left exterior mirror, and over your left shoulder. If the road is clear, you can drive away. [Music] [Music] Look as far ahead as possible so you can prepare in time. Here there is a mandatory direction of travel. The examiner says nothing here. At such a moment, you must realize it yourself. [Music] At the exit, you must let everyone pass. [Music] [Music] It is very good that you sometimes look at the speedometer. Just don't stare at it for too long, because then you won't know what's happening in front of you. [Music] [Music] The candidate saw beforehand that cyclists were coming. Straight-ahead traffic always has priority over turning traffic. It is not a problem if you stall the car once, as long as you are safe and do not obstruct anyone. Always try to come to a standstill in the correct way. Look in your interior mirror, right exterior mirror, and over your right shoulder. Then give your turn signal to the right and then look again in the interior mirror, right exterior mirror, and over your right shoulder. The candidate must stop here to perform a navigation instruction. It is important to listen carefully to the navigation and sometimes look at the navigation screen. When you have to perform the navigation instruction, it is wise to take your time. Calm down by putting the car in neutral and engaging the handbrake. Also try to drive away correctly. Look in the interior mirror, left exterior mirror, and over your left shoulder. Then give your turn signal to the left and then look again in the interior mirror, left exterior mirror, and over your left shoulder. If the road is clear, you can drive away. If you have an unclear intersection, start looking earlier so you know what's coming in time. On your left, you see a pedestrian who wants to cross. Do you know the saying: theory is gas on, and back is gas off? At this moment, we see the back of the pedestrian, so the candidate had to wait before the intersection to yield. Try to start your planning on time when approaching a roundabout or intersection. At roundabouts, you usually see a sign like this. This means it has a mandatory direction of travel. If you have a lane that goes left for the traffic light, then after the turn, you must always end up in the right lane. Examiners usually choose to navigate back to the CBR for the navigation instruction, just like in this case. Keep in mind that you are not allowed to overtake on the right. You may overtake on the right in the following situations: if a driver is sorting to the left and indicates they want to turn left; if you drive to the right of a block marking, for example, at an entry or exit lane; if you want to pass a tram; and in case of a traffic jam. When braking, you must always look in your interior mirror. When stopping behind a car, you should be able to see a small part of the rear tires so that you have sufficient distance. [Music] Continue to perform the check every 10 seconds by looking in your interior mirror, left exterior mirror, and right exterior mirror. If you have to merge onto this highway, you know that you must follow the signs for 's-Hertogenbosch, and that is two lanes to the left to merge. Try to do this as quickly and safely as possible. You do this by merging lane by lane. This means we are entering a highway. The candidate keeps the gas a bit in so that the bus from the left can still merge. Stay between the lines here. If the line is not very clear here, as you can see, we are approaching a highway. It is important to look forward well and take in all the information available to you. It is important to maintain sufficient following distance. Maintain at least 2 seconds, and at least 3 seconds for a truck. If you have changed lanes, turn off your turn signal in time so you don't confuse traffic behind you. Estimate well when you can change lanes. If we look far ahead, we see that we have to merge here. Also look early in the left exterior mirror here so you know what to expect. The candidate sees a truck in front of them here, causing them to drive at an adjusted speed. Most trucks do not drive that fast. If there are more than 1000 meters to your exit, you can overtake. When you see the truck in your interior mirror, you can return to the right lane. [Music] Try to look early at cars on the information lane so you can make way for them if necessary. The candidate decides to release the gas here. They could also have chosen to move to the left lane because it is empty. Look again in the right exterior mirror to know what is coming. If you have less than 1000 meters to your exit, it is not advisable to overtake anymore. It is also important to give your turn signal 300 meters in advance. [Music] Try to move to the right at the beginning of the exit lane and brake on the exit lane, not on the highway. Turn off your turn signal at the last block marking when you are on the exit lane. Keep a close eye on your mirrors, because someone might suddenly exit in front of you. [Music] Make your plan on time so you don't approach a situation too quickly. [Music] At the turbo roundabout, you must take the correct lane, just like the candidate. Very smart of the candidate to look early to see if traffic is coming. Immediately after the drive, you will hear at the CBR exam center whether you have passed. You must then hand in the self-reflection form. On that form, you have noted your strengths and weaknesses in traffic before the exam. The examiner checks if you drive safely and independently. They look, among other things, at your control of the car, your observation, and how you yield priority. It doesn't have to be completely flawless. It's about the overall picture. The most important points you are assessed on are: driving away, straight and winding road sections, intersections, merging and exiting, overtaking and changing lanes, special road sections, and special maneuvers. Thank you for watching. Don't forget to like this video and subscribe. I hope we have helped you with this, and hopefully, you will also pass your practical exam soon.
