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

What should I do if my brakes suddenly fail while driving in the Netherlands?

If your brakes fail, try to pump the brake pedal rapidly to build pressure. If that doesn't work, shift to a lower gear to use engine braking, and use the handbrake carefully to slow down, while signalling your intentions to other drivers.

What is the procedure if my headlights go out at night in the Netherlands?

If your headlights fail at night, try to switch them on and off. If they remain off, immediately activate your hazard lights. Slow down carefully and try to pull over to a safe location as soon as possible, using sidelights if they still work.
