Every day more and more people are losing their rights. Driving schools are in almost every locality, and they work on a schedule that is convenient for most, they offer training on different machines and professional instructors for quite little money.
How to get a driver’s license and where to start? This question is asked by many. If there is no driving experience, you should contact a driving school and collect the necessary documents. Before you get the rights you should definitely undergo a medical examination and get the go-ahead for driving.
Contraindications for obtaining rights will be:
- Mental illness.
- Diseases of the eyes, including lack of eyes, narrowing of the field of view, double vision, a sharp drop in visual acuity and chronic lacrimation.
- Epilepsy.
- Dizziness and disturbances in the functioning of the vestibular apparatus.
- Low growth - less than 1.5 meters.
- Hearing impairment.
- Serious diseases of the heart and internal organs.
- Absence or deformation of limbs.
In each case, the decision is made by doctors individually. If a decrease in hearing or a drop in visual acuity is not critical for a person, they may well be allowed to surrender rights. The medical commission will not miss drug addicts and alcoholics registered, unless they are removed from this registration.
In addition to the main doctors, women are examined by a gynecologist for pregnancy before obtaining rights. Women in position are not prohibited from driving, but undergoing training during this period is highly undesirable. The restriction is introduced only for the safety of the unborn child and his mother - sudden stops, tremors, as well as excitement during training and at the beginning of driving can negatively affect pregnancy.
In addition to a medical certificate, you will need to pay a state fee of 800 rubles, present a passport with a registration mark and submit an application.
If you wish, you can get the right without undergoing training at a driving school. To do this, you need to submit an application to the State traffic inspectorate, pay a state duty, pass a medical examination in the same way and provide an appropriate certificate, present a driver’s license (if issued earlier) and a document confirming registration at the place of residence.
Before you get the rights, you must pass the theoretical part, the "site" and the "city". If self-taught drivers usually have no problems with theory - since now you can easily find exam tickets for sale or even take an exam online, then there are often difficulties with the practical part. According to traffic police statistics, not more than 5% of the total number of renters individually cope with the "site" and the "city".
In addition to the most common category B (cars no more than 3.5 tons and with the number of passengers no more than 8), there are 4 more driver categories.
Category A gives the right to drive motorcycles, C - trucks heavier than 3.5 tons, D - buses, and E - trucks with a trailer. There are age limits for each category. Young people who are at least 16 years old are allowed on motorcycles, on categories B and C - from 18, on the remaining categories - adults over 20. Another thing is that you can get training earlier, but before the exam they will be allowed only when the candidate reaches the required age .
How to get category A rights ? In the same way as B - go to school or take externally. The exam will also consist of three parts, regardless of whether or not there is a right to another category. For the remaining categories, special courses are mandatory, and before you get D rights, you need to leave by car for 3 years, and for category E you need a one-year experience.
The duration of the courses is about three months. Payment - depending on the place of residence may vary by 2-3 times.
