When are you required to undergo a driver’s examination for a category C or D licence (possibly extended with category E)?
In the Netherlands, a category C or D driver’s licence remains valid for five years, after which you are required to undergo a medical examination to extend your licence.
What does the medical examination involve?
The purpose of the examination is to establish whether the examinee has any conditions that may be a hazard when driving in traffic.
