The question of retaking exams at the STSI is as relevant as ever. Statistics of recent months indicate that no more than 30% of students pass all tests the first time. The article is devoted to the remaining 70%. So, what is the retake of the exam in the traffic police?
What's new?
In recent years, many innovations have been introduced. Here are the most interesting:
- A ban on externship has been introduced: future drivers are required to undergo a full course of training in a driving school. That is, they abolished self-training and passing exams after it.
- The training program has been significantly expanded, and for all categories. The number of hours has increased both in theoretical and practical parts.
- The age limit has been reduced to 16 years, but parental consent is required, which is executed in writing at the nearest traffic police department.
- A new label has appeared in the driver’s license. It concerns the features of the vehicle, which will be controlled by a student of a driving school. This is MT or AT (transmission: mechanical or automatic).
- People with disabilities can now also be trained: specially equipped cars are provided for them.
- The cost of training has increased (by about 35-40%).
There are innovations in examinations too
The current amendments were as follows:
- Residents of our country have the right to declare their desire to pass the exam in any region. To do this, it is enough to present a certificate / certificate of the completed studies at a driving school and successfully passed exams.
- The test can only be done on the basis of a personally written application or sent via the website of the State Services.
- The exams were divided: passing the test for driving a car with automatic transmission, it is forbidden to sit down at the "mechanics". To do this, you need to pass another exam.
In addition, the new rules for passing examinations in the traffic police provide for the theoretical part several additional questions (for an error or a pass), driving on the racetrack was supplemented with new exercises, and to check the skills of the future driver on city streets, the penalty point system was changed.
Examiners, that is, traffic police officers responsible for providing grades must have a higher education, the right to drive cars of all categories (with more than five years of experience) and be over 25 years old.
How much is?
Until the beginning of 2017, a fee was charged for each retake of the exam in the STSI. Now it has been canceled. It is only necessary to pay one-time (preferably on the State Service portal) 2,000 rubles.
But there is one caveat. Each driving school during the test gives the student a rental car. Naturally, this service has a cost. And you will have to pay for it at every retake. Therefore, the price of passing the exam in the traffic police varies from region to region and from city to city.
Registration for the retake of the exam in the traffic police
Today there are two possible options.
- Personally, come to the traffic police department and fill out an application form for another attempt.
- Compile an application in electronic form on the portal of State Services.
The ability to use each of them depends on the region of residence.
Full time entry
You need to come to the nearest department of MREO (REO) of the traffic police. Further, it all depends on the features of the department. In one, for example, before signing up for a retake of the exam in the traffic police, from early morning you need to take a queue for a coupon. And then only, presenting the coupon, write the coveted statement.
In another, the queue is engaged in a certain window, in which the application is filled out.
There is an opinion that the whole process takes almost the whole day.
Retake exam in the traffic police: Public services
To work on this portal, you must register. To do this, we need SNILS (not so long ago it became possible to register without this document). Upon completion of registration, the site will require verification of identity (either through the service center, or through the "Russian Post").
The recording procedure itself is quite understandable: at each stage there are tips with step-by-step instructions on the Gosuslug portal.
In general, the process is as follows. After registration and confirmation in your account you need to go to the bookmark with popular services. On it, select "Getting a driver’s license." After switching to this tab, select "Receive services." At this stage, the portal offers to familiarize yourself with the rules for obtaining the selected service. Now you need to agree with what you read and move on. On the tab that opens, you will need to enter the region, the type of certificate received and the category in which the training took place.
The next window is filling out personal data. Next, the future driver selects the date and time of passing (retaking) the exam, as well as the traffic police department.
The procedure ends with saving the electronic ticket to receive the selected service.
Retake the theory
After a failed attempt, it is only possible to pass the test again in a week. And again - in a week. If the exam is thrice failed, it is allowed to apply for retake only after a month.
By the way, today there are many sites that assist in preparing for the theoretical exam. Thanks to them, you can practically learn by heart the answers and cope with the test, if not the first time, then from the second for sure.
Retake the exam in the traffic police does not differ from the first attempt. All the same 20 minutes and 20 questions out of 800 available in the database. Five sections:
- requirements of DD Rules;
- conditions for compliance of the vehicle operation in safe mode;
- first aid (first aid);
- legal issues relating to all road users (certain articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and the Code of Administrative Offenses);
- driving in various traffic situations.
To admit, according to the amendments to the legislative norms, two mistakes can be made. But they, like the missed question, are punished by five added questions on the topic on which a mistake was made. Five minutes are allotted to added questions. As a result, to the maximum: two errors, 30 questions and 30 minutes of total time. But often this is not enough.
And driving
In the case of successful delivery of the theoretical part, but the blockage with driving, in subsequent times it will be necessary to take only it. And it, as you know, is divided into two parts. The rule described above also applies here: if, for example, the race track is credited, then the next time the inspector will only accept the ability to drive around the city.
The time and order are the same: retake the exam in the traffic police is possible three times, then - only after a month.
An important nuance: the offset of the theoretical part is valid for no more than six months from the date of delivery. As soon as this period expires, the surrendered theory is canceled.
Little has changed in this exam. At the autodrome, it is necessary to demonstrate the basic skills learned: starting off first, then moving uphill, shifting gears, a full U-turn, driving into a simulation of a garage (including reversing it) and a “snake”. A test vehicle is provided in accordance with the one stated when submitting documents to a driving school: either with a mechanical gearbox or with an automatic one.
City trials, according to most students, are much more complicated. Here are tested the ability to cope with the following road conditions:
- passage through an intersection (adjustable and / or unregulated);
- developed habit to quickly respond to signals of other road users and give their own, reporting intentions;
- the ability to ride in a dense stream, as well as to rebuild and perform other maneuvers;
- make turns (right and left) and turns both outside the intersection and on it;
- the ability to correctly read road signs and / or markings (permanent and temporary) and respond to them in a timely manner;
- the ability to quickly make the right decisions, due to a sharp change in circumstances on the road;
- ability to reduce and increase speed (up to the allowed limit), slow down and stop.
Errors made by the examiner qualify as gross, medium, and minor. They are assessed with penalty points, respectively, as 5, 3 and 1. Five points set by the inspector complete the test, which is considered failed.
Retake exams in the traffic police after deprivation
The test will have to pass only one thing - theoretical. It has some differences from testing for beginners. The tickets exclude questions about first aid and fines. That is, the test will be only according to the rules of the road. There are forty tickets in total, each containing 20 questions. It takes 20 minutes to answer, and you can “sin” twice. Five more questions are added for this, but without the right to make a mistake.
The whole test is divided into categories: AB and CD. After the deprivation of rights, retaking the exam in the traffic police will be in the category above necessary. That is, an invalid category BC will receive a CD block test.
The number of retries, as in the case of beginners, is not limited. Testing fees are not charged and there is no practical part. And further. Tests will be held in the department of MREO, which has classes equipped for exams (and this rarely coincides with the department in which the rights are withdrawn).
Retake of the traffic police exam through the State Services is available for this category of drivers.
Required documents
Retake, no matter for what reason, suggests the presence of such documents:
- original and photocopy of passport;
- a medical certificate in the prescribed form;
- application (electronic through the State Service portal or written with one's own hand);
- document about the end of a driving school;
- written application-permission from parents (guardians), if the future driver is not yet 18 years old;
- receipt of payment of state duty (paid in person at the bank or through the State service portal).
Afterword
If the court for deprivation of rights has already passed, and it was decided not to appeal, then, according to the norms of the law, the driver’s license is valid for another ten days.
There is a myth about the early return of rights. Early on, you can only pass the DD Rules (that is, the theoretical part of the entire exam). The rules of passing the exam in the traffic police allow you to pass the test no earlier than half the appointed term of deprivation.
They say that soon every attempt will be paid. Moreover, the cost of theory, city driving and the site will be different.
And further. Prior to the amendments, for six months of the valid theory, it was possible to retake the failed exam unit 12 times (almost every week). Now - only eight times. Perhaps that is why signing up (both personally and on the portal) is not easy. The number of people wishing to retake one or another part of the exam increases exponentially.
