No, one may not simply trade a US state-side driver’s license for a Dutch one. A two-test procedure has to be followed. First theory and then practical behind the wheel. The theory is like none other! The test is 64 questions from a 1485 question data base and you must within eight [8] seconds find the correct answer. The questions are sneaky. One sees a photo situation and in those 8 seconds do you see: the children playing behind the parked cars. can you read the road/traffic signs and the additional under-signs correctly. Can you immediately recognize who has the right away. What about the bikes, motorbikes, motorcycles, electric bikes, old-folks-pushing-walkers, horses and pedestrians how do they play into this order of who goes first. All anyone can say is: Good luck!
Oh yes, and you have to know all the arm signals of the officer as he over-rides whatever signs may be posted anywhere around him.
