Both parties sign a settlement agreement in which they agree to the binding advice of the driving judge. Many of the disputes presented are escalating neighborhood disputes that often relate to noise pollution, trees that are too close to the property line, trees that cause nuisance due to falling leaves and fruit, fences, sheds and garages that are not exactly on the property line and blockade/abuse of the right of way. Consumer law is also often discussed. The program always follows the same schedule. The Driving Judge visits the location in question by car to view the case on site. Often he has already invited an expert (for example an employee of the land registry) who will carry out measurements and assess the situation. This is followed by a hearing in a nearby community centre or neighbourhood centre. The parties have brought along family members or neighbours who will give their own opinion on the case. Emotions can sometimes run high. The hearing is ended quite abruptly by the judge in the programme, promising to give a verdict in the short term. Finally, advice is given in the studio. He is not available for further comment.
