Questions Learners Have About Seatbelts & Distractions

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Seatbelts & Distractions, including how questions match the official theory exam in the Netherlands, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What are the rules for mobile phone use while driving in the Netherlands?

In the Netherlands, it is strictly prohibited to hold a mobile communication device while driving any motor vehicle, moped, snorfiets, bicycle, disability vehicle, or tram. This applies regardless of whether you are making a call, texting, reading, or changing music. Hands-free use is allowed, but it is still advised to minimize distraction.

Who is responsible for children wearing seatbelts in a car in the Netherlands?

The driver is responsible for ensuring children under 12 years of age wear their seatbelt correctly. For children aged 12 and older, they are personally responsible for their seatbelt use, though the driver still has a general obligation to ensure safe transport of all passengers.

Is it mandatory to wear a seatbelt in the Netherlands?

Yes, wearing a seatbelt is mandatory for all drivers and passengers of passenger cars, company cars, three-wheeled motor vehicles with closed bodywork, and brommobielen in the Netherlands. This also applies to pregnant women, who must wear the belt correctly.

What are the consequences of distracted driving in the Netherlands?

Distracted driving, particularly due to mobile phone use, significantly increases the risk of accidents. If an incident occurs due to driver distraction, the driver can be held liable for damages. Penalties for prohibited phone use are considerably high, and severe distractions can lead to losing your license or heavy fines under Article 5 of the Road Traffic Act.

Are there other types of distraction besides mobile phones that are prohibited?

While not all distractions are explicitly prohibited by law, any behaviour that causes hinder or danger to other road users is forbidden under Article 5 of the Road Traffic Act. This includes actions like setting up navigation, changing the radio, eating, or engaging in loud conversations that reduce your concentration and control of the vehicle. Drivers must remain focused at all times.
