Calmly learning to drive in Oegstgeest
Oegstgeest is a pleasant place for many students to start driving lessons. The quiet residential areas give you room to master the basics of driving, while Leiden is nearby for hands-on experience in busier traffic.
During your training we build up the lessons step by step. Not according to a standard programme, but based on your development. What works for one student doesn't automatically work for another.
That's why we use a digital progress tracker that is discussed regularly. This way you know exactly which parts you've mastered, where more attention is needed and what the next step in your training is.
Why driving lessons in Oegstgeest are a smart choice
Oegstgeest is known for its quiet residential areas and clear roads. This makes it an ideal place to start driving lessons.
The advantages of learning to drive in Oegstgeest:
- Less busy traffic than in big cities
- Clear junctions and roads
- Less distraction while learning
- Clear difference between quiet residential areas and busier through roads
Because Oegstgeest borders Leiden directly, you'll soon encounter busier traffic too — think of the N206/Rijnsburgerweg and the junctions towards Leiden-Noord.
Why we never have other students picked up or dropped off
At many driving schools part of the lesson time is used to pick up or drop off other students. As a result, you're sometimes a passenger for minutes while paying for your lesson.
At Route 71 we do things differently.
You always drive alone with your instructor. This means you use your lesson time fully to gain experience, discuss mistakes and practise new situations.
This makes lessons not only more pleasant, but often more effective too.
No large compulsory lesson packages
We don't believe every student knows in advance exactly how many lessons they'll need.
That's why we don't work with large compulsory lesson packages. You start with a 75-minute trial lesson and then decide for yourself which type of lesson suits you best.
This way you stay in control of your training and only pay for lessons you actually need.
Starting driving lessons in Oegstgeest
The first lessons focus on getting to know the car and developing control. In Oegstgeest you can go through this phase calmly.
During the first lessons you learn:
- How to start and operate the car
- Steering and positioning on the road
- Accelerating and braking
- Basic observation technique and using mirrors
At Route 71 you're allowed to make mistakes — you actually learn the most from them. Would you rather drive without shifting gears? Then choose automatic driving lessons.
Variety in driving lessons around Oegstgeest
Although Oegstgeest is perfect to start with, it's important that you also get to know other traffic situations. That's why the lessons are extended to surrounding areas.
You drive in, among others:
- Oegstgeest (quiet basics)
- Leiden (busy traffic and test area)
- Leiderdorp (variety)
This variety makes you flexible and able to adapt to different traffic situations.
Preparation for the driving test
An important part of your training is preparing for the driving test. Since exams usually take place in Leiden, this area is actively included in the lessons.
You learn:
- Driving routes independently
- Dealing with busy traffic
- Making decisions without help
- Anticipating unexpected situations
This preparation means you know what to expect and go into the test with more confidence.
Learning to handle different traffic situations
During your training you learn to handle situations you may encounter daily.
Think of:
- Busy junctions towards Leiden-Noord
- Roundabouts and right-of-way situations
- Parking in different situations
- Merging and exiting on the N206
- Combining cyclists towards Leiden with car traffic
- Unpredictable behaviour from other road users
Especially the combination of cyclists and car traffic towards Leiden requires extra attention at first — we specifically practise these transitions during lessons.

That's why we work with:
