De maatregel is ook bedoeld om te helpen <a href=\"https:\/\/newmobility.news\/nl\/2026\/02\/26\/flemish-driving-test-centers-tighten-rules-to-combat-fraud\/\">fraude voorkomen<\/a> en strategisch \u201cshoppen\u201d tussen de verschillende examen- en onderwijssystemen.<\/p>\n<h4>Druk op examencentra<\/h4>\n<p>Wie in Brussel zijn rijbewijsexamen wil afleggen, moet vaak maandenlang wachten.
