In Belgium it goes like this:
First you have to do a theoretical exam.
Then there are 3 choices:
a) You drive 9 months to 1 year with your parents, and they have to learn you how to drive (min age 18)
b) You go to a driving school for a couple of hours and then you have to drive for 6 months to 9 months with your parents to gain driving experience (min age 17yrs and 9 months)
c) You go to a driving school for al lot of hours (expensive) and then you have to drive for 3 months to 6 months alone or with parents (min age 16yrs and 9 months)
And there is a strange rule you may not drive from 10 pm till 6 am in weekends and in holidays while driving with your learning permit.
The practical exam consists of 2 test.
One manoeuvre test (parking in a garage, parking in a parking lane, reversing in a small alley, turning around)
After you passed the manoeuvre test, you have have a test in traffic of about half an hour.
