No dropping off students
During your lesson you do not pick up or drop off other students. The full lesson time revolves around your development behind the wheel.
Full focus during your driving lesson
We believe that a driving lesson should be entirely about the student.
That's why we don't pick up or drop off other students during your lesson, and take no one home. Every minute you pay for, you spend behind the wheel yourself.
That means more practical experience, more room to discuss situations, and more attention for the areas you still want to work on.
That way you get more out of every lesson.
Your lesson = your time
At Route 71 we use your entire lesson time for your development behind the wheel. During a lesson you want to focus on learning to drive — not on stops or interruptions. That's why we deliberately choose not to pick up or drop off other students during your lesson.
That way the full lesson time stays available for:
- more time behind the wheel
- more room for explanation and feedback
- more attention for your learning points
- more practical experience during every lesson
When lesson time is used to pick up or drop off other students, less time remains for actual driving.
We believe your lesson time is entirely meant for you. That's why we use every minute of the lesson for your development behind the wheel — whether you take lessons in an automatic or in a manual car.
No other students in the car
All attention during your lesson stays with you.
Your full lesson time
No stops or interruptions during the lesson.
Digital progress card
After every lesson we discuss your progress, so you know exactly what you master and what still needs attention.
Why this fits our way of teaching
The principle of not dropping off students doesn't stand alone.
Bij Route 71 we believe a driving education should be clear, honest and transparent.
That's why we also don't work with large mandatory lesson packages, and track your progress with a digital progress card.
That way you know exactly where you stand, which parts you've mastered, and which steps still lie ahead before the practical exam.
We believe driving lessons shouldn't just be educational, but also enjoyable. Making mistakes is part of learning to drive, which is why we create an environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and feel at ease behind the wheel.
How does this work in practice?
At Route 71 we plan lessons so that your lesson time is truly meant for you. You don't drive somewhere in between to pick up another student, and your instructor uses the lesson for your route, your learning goals and your development. We drive through the familiar exam area around Leiden, so you can steadily build up towards your practical exam.
That means:
- full attention
- fewer interruptions
- more efficient use of lesson time
- your full lesson time
- clear progress after every lesson
That brings calm to the lesson and helps you get more out of every lesson. Already have your licence and want to get back behind the wheel safely? Then also check out our refresher course.
