I&#8217;ve had a nice time and learned a lot &#8230; and ofcourse the pink evidence to prove it \ud83d\ude42\n<p>A * Bruinsma &#8211; Tico (instructor), Bas &#038; Barry<\/p>\n<li>Wow, 3 instructors? To be honest Tico was my &#8216;main&#8217; instructor but Barry took me through the Try-The-Bike and 4 hours of learning how to take corners during AVD\n<li>Bas assisted on the AVB exam with Tico and had me driving through Utrecht by Night.\n<li>Tico was my instructor during AVB and AVD and also the exam instructor, with the bike exam your instructor sits next to the examiner to give you instructions by headset\n<li>The buildup of training at Bruinsma is effectie, the Try-The-Bike familiarizes you with the bike (and gets you in the mood ofcourse).\n<li>The AVB training is selfpaced\/learning and the fact that you drive with a max of 5 bikers on a seperate terrain ensures you have a good feeling and know who&#8217;s around you (or not). The passing trains bring some spectators but thats not bothering at all. The only downside is the size of the terrain which makes it hard to speed up on the short slopes.<a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.nl\/maps\/ms?ie=UTF8&#038;t=h&#038;hl=nl&#038;msa=0&#038;output=nl&#038;msid=118092555917407603238.00045e458fac4e1d3c61e\">map<\/a>\n<li>The AVD training takes you through Utrecht, <del>messing around<\/del>learning curves at the triple corners at the A28\/A27, speeding up on highway entrances and al ot more\n<li>Driving through rough terrain on the north side of Maarsen and next to construction sites\n<li>Driving in heavy traffic and more!\n<li>The AVB exam was easy, nervous but the examiner is good at comforting you. The quick S-curves were impossible to me after 6 hours of driving but the other tasks went perfectly.\n<li>The AVD exam was a nice drive, just as the examiner asked me to &#8216;just take a nice spin&#8217; and was done in no-time. I didn&#8217;t have a clue that I was driving for more than 15 minutes. The examiner just had one remark, go get that license and drive!<a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.nl\/maps\/ms?ie=UTF8&#038;t=h&#038;hl=nl&#038;msa=0&#038;output=nl&#038;msid=118092555917407603238.00045e180ed1d7d6c40e9\">map<\/a>\n<li>Not just because i&#8217;ve got the pink paper now, but i&#8217;m very satisfied, cheers to the team of Bruinsma!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2754 Now that i&#8217;ve passed the exams a little review of my driving experiences B * Drivingschool Wim Versaan &#8211; Wim (instructor\/owner) BE * Bruinsma<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-894","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tom.scholten.nu\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/894","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tom.scholten.nu\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tom.scholten.nu\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tom.scholten.nu\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tom.scholten.nu\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=894"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tom.scholten.nu\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/894\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tom.scholten.nu\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=894"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tom.scholten.nu\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=894"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tom.scholten.nu\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=894"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
