information, or none at all (see article 2.6)

6.5 During driving lessons, it is strictly forbidden to be under the influence of alcohol, drugs and
medications that can affect the ability to drive. If in case of a car accident the student is proven to
have been under influence, then the student will be held accountable.

bicycle or moped), then this also means that operating a lesson car is prohibited. If the student fails
to mention their exemption of authority to drive, and partakes in driving lessons nonetheless, then
any monetary consequences such as fines or damage that has been caused to third parties, will be
for the student completely.
