That does not sound any different from my daily commute. And the section of motorway I have to take is far from the busiest in this part of the country. Driver attitude does not seem to be better here than I experienced in the UK.

As for training and tests I do believe the Netherlands have a pretty good system set up. Several different exams (theoretical, practical, on road) at different times with many hours of compulsory training with a professional instructor in between.

The lack of continued training after the exams is a problem everywhere.
