The exam

You ask the driving school to register you for a retake; the traffic inspectorate sets the date. Registration costs €7.50 and the retake drive with the examiner €25 plus the administrative stamp (€12.50). You are entitled to 3 retakes and only repeat the part you failed.
What if I cannot attend the exam?
Your absence must be properly excused with a certificate from a doctor or an authority, stamped and signed for that date.
