Motorcycle driving license

ASB driving school continues a series of articles in which it talks in detail about the work of driving schools and traffic police during the coronavirus. All driving schools and students in Moscow were looking forward to the first day of summer, but summer seems to be in no hurry to come to the capital, and the second stage of easing in high alert mode is also in no hurry to give students the opportunity to continue practical classes. The miracle has not happened since 06/01/2020. only a small proportion of commercial organizations can begin to resume their activities, for example, non-food stores, laundries, shoe and clothing repair organizations were allowed to operate, hypermarkets were also included in this list, and car dealerships were also allowed to operate. Nothing is said about the work of driving and motorcycle schools in Moscow, which means driving instructors remain at home and cannot conduct classes. This whole situation with the coronavirus has a very unfavorable effect on all driving schools and motorcycle schools in Moscow; not all students who were in the process of learning before the suspension of the driving schools’ activities calmly perceive everything that is happening. Many students throughout Moscow call driving schools and demand a refund of money or documents on graduation from the driving school, but neither the administration nor the driving instructors of the driving schools are to blame for anything, we all found ourselves in this difficult period at the same time, and we can get out of it with minimal losses We can do the same only together.

One of the few favorable news was information from the Moscow traffic police. Since mid-May, traffic police in Moscow began to conduct state driving license exams in a limited number, for those students who fully completed their studies before 03/28/2020, i.e. until the introduction of a high-alert regime in Moscow.

The ASB Motorcycle School has already conducted one exam for motorcyclists studying for the “A” category. Our first license exam took place on May 23, 2020. You can still enter the traffic police building only if you have an electronic ticket for registration through the State Services portal. Such requirements apply to all visitors to the traffic police without exception; all of our students registered in advance for the exam on the State Services portal, and we successfully conducted it. Naturally, all students came to the exam with the skills that they had acquired before March 28, 2020; there was no talk of any additional classes, since conducting them is strictly prohibited. Motorcycle school employees met a group of students at the entrance to the traffic police and gave detailed instructions, measured the temperature of everyone who came, even on the street, all students stood at the required distance of one and a half meters from each other, each was wearing a mask and gloves. People were allowed into the traffic police building only if accompanied by a motorcycle school employee, and in the theoretical exam class a maximum of 4 people were accepted, thus ensuring social distance. The students sat at computers 2 meters from each other and immediately after completing the theoretical traffic rules exam, they went out into the street and dispersed around the area. During the exam, staff treated computers and computer areas, tables, chairs, etc., with disinfectants after each student.

The practical motorcycle driving test was also held in compliance with all safety standards. The motorcycle school students were satisfied, many of them successfully passed both stages, the theoretical traffic rules exam and the driving test. In general, the traffic police exam for category “A” went well. The ASB motorcycle school expresses gratitude to the traffic police officer at the address: Moscow st. Bolshaya Kosinskaya 1B, all stages of the exam under their leadership passed calmly and confidently, and most importantly in compliance with all safety standards, we also thank the students of the motorcycle school who strictly followed all the recommendations and guidelines during the exam process. Many students who have successfully passed their driving license exams will soon also register with the State Traffic Inspectorate through State Services and receive their long-awaited driver’s licenses. In such a difficult time of quarantine and self-isolation, this step towards meeting motorcycle schools and students is very important for everyone. Due to the spread of coronavirus infection and what the employees and students of the motorcycle school saw during the exams at the traffic police, we can assume that all exams this summer will be held in this format, mask mode and a limited number of candidates admitted to the exam, compliance with all safety standards, mandatory registration through the State Services portal; all this is no longer an assumption, but a reality.

The ASB motorcycle school decided to supplement this article with answers to popular questions that motorcycle school students asked and are asking. Due to the self-isolation regime due to the coronavirus, many citizens have more free time, and we hope that our article will become informative and interesting for them, and most importantly, inform them about the nuances in the field of additional education for motorcycle schools.

Is it possible to take the exam at the traffic police if the student has only passed the theory?

In such cases, when a student at a car or motorcycle school has completed only a theoretical course, this is naturally not enough to be admitted to the traffic police exam. Each student studying for any of the categories of vehicles must undergo training in full. Full training includes: completing a theoretical course and passing all tests and exams provided for in the training program, completing a practical course and passing a practice exam, all driving hours provided for in the curriculum must also be completed in full. A student who has completed only a theoretical course will not be allowed to take exams at the State Traffic Inspectorate. If you only completed a theoretical course and for some reason interrupted your studies, you will have to study again and complete the training in full.

How to get a motorcycle license in 2021.

A traffic police officer checks future bikers' ability to independently operate a motorcycle. The venue is a site with marked markings and special equipment. During the exam, driving around the city on a motorcycle is not possible.

Exams are carried out on vehicles from the traffic police or a motorcycle school. According to Appendix 3 to the “Rules for Conducting Exams”, motorized vehicles must have no sidecars, and the engine capacity must be more than 125 cubic meters. cm, power – from 11 kW.

The order of the tests is determined by the examiner: either each of the candidates takes turns working through all the tasks sequentially from beginning to end; or each person in the group performs one exercise, then everyone moves on to the next ones.

When testing the ability of candidates to independently operate a motorcycle, they are asked to practice 3 exercises:

1. "Maneuvering in confined spaces and emergency stopping." This exercise is divided into four different parts:

• “Figure Eight” – you need to drive along a certain line around the marking cones in 35 seconds;
• “Snake” - you need to drive past the cones, driving around the first one so that it is on the left side of the motorcyclist. 20 seconds are allotted for execution;

• “Overall corridor” - you need to drive along an 8-meter long section of the platform, limited by the dimensions of the motorcycle, the standard time is 15 seconds;

• “High-speed maneuvering” – schemes A and B are provided, which are selected depending on the size of the examination area. The motorcyclist needs to go around 5 cones and go through three clearance gates. Travel time – 35 seconds.

1. “Parking a vehicle and leaving a parking space” - the examinee must cross the line from which the exercise begins, then turn off the engine, get off the motorcycle and on foot roll the vehicle in reverse to the parking space, park it in a stop. Next, get on the bike, start it and ride along the specified path. Time – 2 min.

2. “Stop for disembarking passengers” - the examinee drives along a given lane and changes lanes to stop at a certain place. At the same time, he needs to pass the control line with his left marker, and when stopping, the right and front markers must be no more than 30 centimeters from the marking. Control time – 15 seconds.

At the starting position, the motorcycle is with the engine turned off and in neutral. Within 30 seconds from the moment the examiner gives the command, you must begin the exercise.

After performing the maneuver, the candidate must stop at certain points in front of the stop line, shift the motorcycle into neutral and keep it balanced with one or both feet touching the ground. Usually the end of the exercise is signaled by raising a hand so that the examiner can see that the candidate has switched the vehicle to neutral. After this, you can start the engine again and cross the stop line to proceed to the start of the next exercise.

For mistakes made while completing tasks, penalty points are awarded:

• Rough, “5” points, miscalculation cannot be made even once:

• did not start working on the task in 30 seconds. from the moment the examiner gives the command;
• crossing the limit or stop line in unforeseen cases;
• movement along a trajectory that is not specified by the conditions of the exercise;
• touching the court with the foot in cases where this is not provided for in the exercise;
• stopping at a distance from the markings that is greater than the permissible distance.

• Medium, “3”, error allowed 1 time:

• the turn signal is not given when necessary;
• not switching the speed to neutral when stopping;
• the engine stalled before starting to move, and others

• small, “1”, 2 times allowed:

• marker posts or cones knocked down;
• The low beam is not turned on before driving;
• sudden braking unnecessarily.

The exam is considered passed when the candidate has not made a single mistake or the sum of penalty points for them does not exceed 5. Those who have not passed the test can retake it at the site in one week.

Is it possible to study only theory or only practical driving lessons at a driving school?

If you already have a driver's license for any of the categories, you can separately take a theoretical course or driving practice for the corresponding category. Students who already have category A or B licenses periodically contact the ASB motorcycle school and ask to undergo either theory or driving practice separately; such training is possible. As a rule, such students simply want to restore their knowledge and practical skills, they have already studied at a driving school and completed the full course, passed all qualifying and state exams, received a license, but over time, the theory has been partly forgotten and driving skills too, so before leaving In real city traffic conditions, it is vital to restore these skills. If you already have a license, but you haven’t repeated the traffic rules for a long time or haven’t gotten behind the wheel of a motorcycle or car, be sure to take the number of practical lessons that you need at a driving school and take a full theory course, it will be effective.

Category A

When attending classes at a motorcycle school, students learn the following points in the lessons:

• basics of traffic rules;
• installation of motor vehicles and their maintenance;
• first aid for road traffic accidents;
• correct driver behavior on the road;
• punishments for offences.

The GL-Stimul driving school is equipped with spacious computer classes with modern equipment, a driving simulator room and an extensive area for practical training. The theoretical part of driving courses can be completed remotely or combined online classes and lessons in Moscow.

Practical part

Classes with an instructor take place at a special training ground that has been certified by the traffic police. During training, trainees acquire the following practical skills:

• basic acquaintance with the motorcycle;
• operation of gas, clutch and gear shifting;
• application of rear and front brakes;
• practice starting, accelerating and braking;
• figures “overall corridor”, “snake”, “figure eight”;
• entering and leaving a parking space;
• safe disembarkation of passengers;
• high-speed maneuvering.

For practical training in Moscow, you must pass a medical examination and receive a certificate. Significant attention is paid to training at the vehicle site, since not only passing the exam, but also the future safety of a person depends on it. In a place remote from city roads, students practice the basics of driving a motorcycle under the constant supervision of experienced instructors.

Exam in the traffic police

After successfully completing the training course, the final stage for obtaining rights to category A is an exam at the Moscow State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, consisting of two parts:

• answers to the exam paper (carried out using a computer);
• assessment of driving on a motorcycle site (carried out by traffic police inspectors).

If the exam result is positive, the coveted motorcycle license is issued.

Advantages of our driving school

When is it better to study at a driving or motorcycle school, winter or summer?

All students who are interested in this issue, before going to study at a driving school, agree on one opinion: they study better in the summer, it is both easier and more comfortable. Of course, in the summer, training is calmer and easier, and this is a fact, but is it as convenient as everyone thinks? We will analyze the practice of driving a car and a motorcycle. First, let's look at driving a motorcycle, in the summer you can choose both indoor and outdoor areas for driving, in winter there will be only one choice, these are closed areas and not all motorcycle schools have them. Taking exams for Category A in winter is an exceptional luxury; in Moscow, not all traffic police have this opportunity and do not schedule exams at closed motorcycle sites every season. In the summer, things are much better with exams at the traffic police, many traffic police in Moscow have open motorcycle sites and take exams, the season usually starts in April and ends in September, if weather conditions permit, exams in such cases can be held throughout October. There is no particular difference in training between winter and summer; in winter you won’t be able to ride a motorcycle on the roads, but you can undergo training, but it is more advisable to start training at a motorcycle school before the start of the season. A full course of training at a motorcycle school takes 2-2.5 months; starting training in February, you can have time to ride both indoor and outdoor motorcycle sites, and get into the first exams at the traffic police, then after receiving your license, you can fully ride your motorcycle all summer long and autumn.

Driving training in a driving school for category B, it is better to take it in winter, naturally it will be more difficult, poor grip, poor visibility, ice, snowfalls and snow-covered roads, the features of winter driving are both interesting and dangerous, but you will definitely gain much more experience. When learning in summer, autumn or spring, the visibility of the road, road signs and markings is much better than in winter, poor visibility and relatively poor traction may only be in the rain, but such practice will also give you more confidence and significantly improve the quality of the experience gained. Every novice car enthusiast, at the initial stage of independent practice of driving a car, will find it difficult to navigate on a slippery, winter road; the first skid of the vehicle or poor braking will confuse the beginner, and in real traffic conditions they need to react in a matter of seconds. Many people want to leave difficulties for later, but you must agree that it is much easier to go through these difficulties in winter with a driving instructor than alone, so we advise you to go to a driving school in winter. The driving instructor will tell you all the nuances and subtleties of driving in uncomfortable and dangerous conditions associated with the peculiarities of winter weather conditions. Be bold and take advantage of this chance right away, do not put it off until later, because you will also have to drive in winter.

INTRODUCTION

You can skip this section if you are sure that your school controls the procedure for conducting the exam, and if you go to the exam at the traffic police on your own, you need to know this.

A driver candidate who fails one of the exams is not allowed to take the next exam; a repeat exam is scheduled no earlier than 7 days from the date of the previous one. For driver candidates who fail one of the exams on the third and subsequent attempts, a repeat exam is scheduled no earlier than 30 days later. A driver candidate who has passed the theoretical exam is allowed to take practical exams - an exam on initial driving skills and an exam on driving a vehicle in traffic conditions over the next 6 months.

Requirements for vehicles used for practical examinations.

Practical examinations are carried out on vehicles of the relevant categories or subcategories, subject to the minimum criteria for vehicles of the following categories (subcategories): category "A" - two-wheeled vehicle of category "A" without a side trailer with an internal combustion engine displacement exceeding 125 cubic centimeters, or a maximum power exceeding 11 kilowatts; category "M" - two-wheeled vehicle of category "M" without a side trailer; subcategory "A1" - a two-wheeled vehicle of subcategory "A1" without a side trailer with a displacement of an internal combustion engine not exceeding 125 cubic meters. centimeters, and a maximum power not exceeding 11 kilowatts.

Conducting an exam on initial vehicle driving skills.

The boundaries of the exercise areas are indicated by road marking lines 1.1 white or 1.4 yellow and marking cones (marking posts) in accordance with the exercise diagram.
The “STOP”, “START” and “FINISH” lines are indicated by road markings 1.12 in white, the lines for the start and end of exercises, the control lines are indicated by a yellow dashed line 0.10 m wide, a stroke length of 0.15 m, with an interval between strokes of 0 ,10 m. The distance between marking cones (marking posts) in the areas where marking cones and (or) marking posts are installed must be at least 1 m and no more than 2 m. The height of marking cones is no more than 0.5 m, the height of marking posts is not less than 1 m. In preparation for the exam on initial vehicle driving skills, the examiner checks: - The vehicle for compliance with the requirements for vehicles used for practical exams, in accordance with Appendix No. 3 to the Rules. — Autodrome, automated autodrome, closed site for conducting an exam on initial vehicle driving skills, means of audio and video recording of the process of conducting practical exams for compliance with the requirements for technical means of monitoring the knowledge and skills of driving candidates for drivers in accordance with Appendix No. 1 to the Rules. — The performance of audio and video recording tools for the process of conducting practical exams. — Compliance of the equipment of the areas for performing test exercises, their sizes, with Appendix No. 7 to the Administrative Regulations. The examiner establishes the identity of the driver candidate on the basis of the identification document presented by him, and familiarizes the driver candidate with the procedure and system for evaluating the results of the examination on initial vehicle driving skills. In the examination sheet (Appendix No. 4 to the Administrative Regulations), the examiner indicates the make, model, state registration plate, category (subcategory) and type of transmission of the vehicle. At the examiner’s command, the candidate driver takes the driver’s seat, prepares for movement and begins performing test exercises. Before starting the exam, the examiner must ensure that the following conditions are met: the vehicle engine is warmed up and turned off, the gearshift lever is moved to the neutral position (for automatic transmission, the transmission mode control is moved to the “P” position), the parking brake is on, audio and Video recordings of the practical exam process are included. Before starting the exercises, the driver candidate must take a seat in (on) the vehicle, adjust the rear-view mirrors, start the engine, fasten the seat belt (in the vehicle), fasten the motorcycle helmet (on the vehicle), prepare to move, confirm readiness to start , turning on the low beam headlights. The time for performing the test exercise is measured from the moment the front wheels (front wheel) of the vehicle crosses the line where the exercise begins to perform until the moment the rear wheels (rear wheel) of the vehicle (or its trailer in accordance with the conditions for performing the exercise for a combination of vehicles) crosses the line where the exercise ends. (or the “STOP” line in accordance with the conditions of the exercise).

Exercises for the exam for the right to drive vehicles of categories “M”, “A” and subcategory “A1”

EXERCISE No. 1 “Maneuvering in confined spaces, braking and stopping when moving at various speeds, including an emergency stop.” The exercise consists of 4 elements: “Figure Eight”, “Snake”, “Speed ​​Maneuvering” and “Deep Corridor”.

SIZE EIGHT

When performing a task, the candidate driver moves along a given trajectory.

SNAKE

The driver candidate moves along a given trajectory, leaving the first marking cone on the left side of the motor vehicle, sequentially driving around the marking cones on the left and right sides.

SPEED MANEUVERING

This exercise requires special attention and I wanted to analyze common mistakes in detail, but while I’m drawing, you have the opportunity to familiarize yourself with two diagrams of the exercise and evaluate children’s creativity on our topic:

The duration of the exercise should not exceed 35 seconds. Exercise dimensions: A-12m B-8m B-10m D-4.5m D-5.5M E-80m F-30m I-7m K-22m L-1.0m M-2.3m H-6m L-0 ,5m Scheme “A” of exercise element No. 1 - “High-speed maneuvering”.

DIMENSIONAL CORRIDOR

Driver candidate: - drives in the clear corridor; — stops at a distance not exceeding the “L” value from the “STOP” line (according to the projection of the front clearance); - engages neutral gear (when performing the exercise on a motor vehicle with a manual gearbox) and holds the vehicle stationary by touching the surface of the platform with your foot(s); — leaves the exercise area, crossing the “STOP” line. In the area marked with size “G”, the marking cones (marking posts) do not stop.

EXERCISE No. 2 “PARKING A VEHICLE AND EXITING A PARKING SPOT” The driver candidate, after crossing the exercise start line on a motor vehicle, stops at the designated place so that the motor vehicle crosses the exercise start line according to the projection of the rear clearance, turns off the engine and dismounts. Next, the candidate driver, keeping the motorized vehicle in balance, on foot, located on the side convenient for him from the motorized vehicle, rolls it in reverse and places it on the step within the designated parking space so that, according to the projection of the front clearance, it crosses the end line of the exercise. Then he gets on the motor vehicle, starts the engine and drives out of the parking space.

EXERCISE No. 3 “STOPING FOR SAFE BOARDING OR DISCHARGING OF PASSENGERS” The candidate driver: — drives along the designated lane; - gives a turn signal and performs a lane change maneuver to the stopping place so that the projection of the left side of the motor vehicle crosses the control line; — stops at a distance not exceeding the “L” value from the “STOP” line according to the projection of the front dimension of the vehicle and not exceeding the “L” value from the marking line according to the projection of the right dimension of the vehicle; - engages neutral gear (when performing the exercise on a motor vehicle with a manual gearbox) and holds the vehicle stationary by touching the surface of the platform with your foot(s); — leaves the exercise area, crossing the “STOP” line.

The examination is terminated and the grade “FAILED” is given if the driver candidate: (as amended by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated September 6, 2017 N 707) 113.1.

Crossed the “STOP” line along the projection of the front clearance of the vehicle in cases where stopping in front of the “STOP” line is provided for by the conditions of the test exercise. 113.5. Did not cross the control line with the external dimensions of the vehicle in cases where crossing the control line is provided for by the conditions of the test exercise. 113.6. Deviated from the specified trajectory of movement provided for by the conditions of the test exercise. 113.7. Stopped the engine 3 or more times. 113.8. Stopped before the corresponding marking line at a distance exceeding the control value. 113.9. Driving in reverse if reversing is not provided for by the conditions of the test exercise. 113.10. Exceeded the total time for performing test exercises. 113.11. When passing the exam for the right to drive vehicles of categories “M”, “A” or subcategory “A1”, the time for completing exercise element No. 1 “High-speed maneuvering” was exceeded. 113.12.

The storage period for the information received is at least 1 month from the date of the exam. 116. The result of the administrative procedure is that the examiner places on the examination sheet the score obtained by the driver candidate in the initial driving skills exam. The total time for completing the administrative procedure for one driver candidate is up to 1 hour.

I would like to pay special attention to exercise No. 2, “PARKING A VEHICLE AND EXITING A PARKING SPACE.” Ideally, this exercise should be the very first one in the exam and your training should begin with it. If you don’t have the strength to box a spendthrift, then what kind of exam do you need?! I would generally complicate this exercise by raising the level of the box by 30 centimeters, which is quite consistent with the real entrance to the garage, and pouring sand in front of the entrance. It’s scary to watch how motaki fall in this exercise!!! Don’t grab a big and beautiful motorcycle, learn to ride a light motorcycle, and then increase the capacity. All other exercises are easy if you have learned the basics of driving a motorcycle, learned how to maintain balance, stop and accelerate smoothly, and until this point you should just ride around the area and perfect turns, smooth stopping and starting. ALL EXERCISES ALLOW 4 MINUTES!!! Only “High-speed maneuvering” is measured separately, but I will make a separate post about this.

In this video, 5 exercises are slowly performed:

Is it possible to suspend training at a driving school or motorcycle school?

In the process of studying at a driving school, a student may experience different life circumstances, illness, conscription into the army, a change of job, moving to a new place of residence, a business trip, a wedding, the birth of children and a host of other reasons. In such circumstances, many want to suspend training, but they are afraid of the consequences, students think that they will have to start all over again. Each driving school may have radically different regulations on this matter. At the ASB driving school, you can suspend and then continue training in any current circumstances; the administration always meets students and treats such situations calmly. The most important thing is to immediately notify the driving school if there is a need to suspend training. In such cases, the stage at which the student wrote an appeal to the driving school on this issue is recorded, the time for which the transfer of training is possible is discussed, and the student calmly goes about his business, after the end of this period, the student proceeds to the stage of training at which he stopped. In our driving school, everyone, without exception, is allowed to retake the theory course for free. If training is suspended at the theory stage, we advise everyone to go through it from the beginning in order to consolidate and repeat the material; more time will be spent, but the positive effect will be much more noticeable. Lessons with a driving instructor are resumed in order, with the exception of those already completed. Transferring classes in a car and motorcycle school is a completely standard process and there is nothing to be afraid of, the most important thing is not to give up everything and not get lost, some students do this, and then show up six months or a year later and begin to explain everything, this is completely wrong. Let us repeat, the main thing is to notify the driving school administration in advance, explain everything in detail and ask for as much time as you really need, this will greatly facilitate your further training.

Is it possible to change the driving instructor at a driving school or motorcycle school?

In one of our articles DRIVING INSTRUCTOR, we wrote in detail about how the lessons are held and what students need to pay attention to when starting practice, we advise all students to read it, preferably before they attend their first driving lesson. Practical driving lessons, in our opinion, are the most difficult stage of training and should be approached as seriously as possible. The first and most important thing when starting practical driving lessons is to establish contact with your driving instructor. All driving instructors aim to make friends with the student from the very first lesson, but if the student himself is not in the mood for this, all the efforts of the instructor may not be effective. In such cases, the student wastes his time and, as a rule, blames the driving instructor and the driving school for everything. Remember, the driving instructor does his best and shares his experience as much as possible, and the student must trust him and strictly follow his instructions. Of course, we are all different and controversial situations do occur. Before going to driving practice, the administrators of our driving school immediately inform students that they should always keep the administration informed about the entire practice process. Our driving school has long had a practice of control driving lessons, in which students practice the exercises and skills they acquired during the training process. Each student of our driving school is required to call the administrator after completing the first driving lesson, after the tenth, fifteenth and twentieth lessons, so we track the learning process and find out the details of the practice. All students of the ASB driving school know that this is very important and it is possible to avoid controversial situations, as well as influence the learning process during the internship, and not at the end, when there is no point in it anymore. As for changing the instructor during practical lessons, such a procedure is possible and sometimes necessary, and we always accommodate the student and change the instructor at any stage of the practical driving lessons. This situation is quite standard and you can change your driving instructor at any time, of course it is better to do this during the first practical lessons. If you understand that you are not comfortable and you have not found a common language, do not delay and immediately report this to the driving school. They will definitely find a replacement for you, and you will continue your studies without any losses.

How to choose a driving instructor?

Determining a win-win formula in such a matter is very difficult. We are all different people and each one needs an individual approach. Typically, a driving instructor is chosen in the same way as a driving school, based on reviews and recommendations. We wrote in detail about how to identify a real review on the Internet from a fake one in our article REVIEWS ABOUT A DRIVING SCHOOL. In any case, to fully evaluate a driving instructor, you need to come to him for at least two or three lessons. There are certain points when choosing a driving instructor that you definitely need to pay attention to. In Moscow, in a car and motorcycle school, when choosing a driving instructor, it all comes down to the fact that the student first of all chooses him based on the location of the car or motorcycle track. In Moscow, this is the most valuable time, so not everyone wants to travel across the city to practice, and vice versa, those who chose a driving school on a recommendation are ready to sacrifice their time and go to a specific instructor at the exact site where he practices. The first rule when choosing a driving instructor, do not neglect the advice of the administration of the auto-motorcycle school, first of all, they know all their instructors and during their communication with you, they can determine who is best for you. Secondly, before going to practice, be sure to tell the administrator about all your fears, the specifics of perception of information, what kind of driving experience you have already had, if any, in general, be frank and reveal in more detail all your wishes, fears and assumptions regarding practice driving. Third, be just as frank and as open to the instructor as possible during your first driving lesson, this will make it easier for you and him to implement the learning objectives, and will direct the learning process in a comfortable direction. If we are talking about private driving instructors, pay attention to the reviews and do not look for the minimum price, in the case of the minimum price, you can waste your time, the driving lesson will be short and ineffective, most of the time you will sit and listen instructor in the car and drive quite a bit in it; private instructors often resort to these tricks to lure you into your first lesson. Then, in such cases, they will inform you that this price implies payment for an introductory lesson, so you did not go anywhere, but listened to such a “woe” instructor for the entire lesson. Be careful when talking with a private instructor on the phone, ask all the questions you are interested in and discuss all the nuances of the first lesson. The average price of one practical lesson in driving a car or motorcycle in Moscow is 1200 -1500 rubles and such a lesson lasts from 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours.

What categories of motorcycle licenses are there in 2018?

The motor market is ready to offer a huge selection of motorcycles. How not to get confused in this diversity and understand which category is needed to control a particular two-wheeled horse? The classification decided everything.
