Licence, documents & regional preparation · Standard

Educational difficulty is separate from the legal penalty. These are original practice questions, not official examination items.

Lesson

You can sit the Belgian Category B theory exam from age 17.

A theory pass alone does not authorise you to drive a car on public roads.

A theory pass is valid for three years; check your own expiry date.

Carry the required valid driving and vehicle documents when driving.

Check the rules of your exam region before booking: training and language arrangements differ.
