Why students choose Route 71
For more than 10 years we have been guiding students from Leiden and the surrounding area towards their driving licence.
In those years we learned that people learn most when they feel comfortable behind the wheel. That is why driving lessons at Route 71 are not only about traffic rules and vehicle control, but also about confidence, insight and enjoying the drive.
We believe that making mistakes is part of learning to drive. A driving lesson should be a place where you dare to ask questions, learn to recognise new situations and become more independent step by step.
Our approach is therefore built on clear feedback and insight into your own progress. Not every student learns in the same way or at the same speed. So each lesson we look at what you need in order to move forward, and work on the skills that still require attention.
That way you are not only preparing for the exam, but above all for driving safely and independently.
Digital progress card
After every driving lesson we update your progress and discuss which skills you already master and which ones still need work. That way you always know where you stand.
No other students
During your lesson you never have to pick up or drop off other students. All the attention stays with your development and your driving skills.
No large packages
At Route 71 we deliberately work without large compulsory lesson packages. You only pay for the lessons you actually need.
Free progress app
Easily follow your driving progress in our app.
ADHD & autism
Over the years we have guided many students with ADHD, autism or test anxiety. We adapt our explanation and the structure of the lesson to whatever works best for you.
No unnecessary lessons
Thanks to our digital progress card you can see exactly which skills you master. You work towards your licence without unnecessary lessons or surprises afterwards.
What ten years of teaching has taught us
Most people assume that learning to drive is mainly about gear changes, traffic rules and manoeuvres.
Those skills matter, of course. But in practice we see students improve fastest when they feel relaxed behind the wheel and know exactly where they stand in their training.
That is why we use a digital progress card, updated and discussed after every lesson. You can see which skills you already master, what still needs attention and what the next step is.
We also use your lesson time to actually drive. You never have to pick up or drop off other students, and we don't drive pointless laps without a learning goal. Every lesson is about your development as a driver.
We don't believe in large compulsory lesson packages either. You start with a 75-minute trial lesson and then decide for yourself what suits you best.
That keeps driving lessons clear, relaxed and genuinely enjoyable.
Tense or uncertain behind the wheel?
Many people feel tense or uncertain in traffic, even after getting their driving licence. Whether you have not driven for a long time or simply want to rebuild your confidence — our personal approach helps you return to the road calmly and confidently.
With a refresher course you can enjoy driving confidently again in a short time.
