Obtaining rights to the vehicle (except bike) has quite a lot of questions. One of them concerns the age at which to begin training. The law on this subject quite emphatically and quite clearly indicates the stages of learning to drive.
An important role is played by the category of rights he wants to. Than it is more complicated, the more you need to know. For example, to operate a moped even 16-year-old, and the truck only by a professional.


When you are ready to learn



As for the theoretical part of the training, i.e. rules, traffic police, etc., no restrictions here. You can start at any time when the learner wants it.

By studying the rules won't be a problem. Books listing the main provisions and the traffic tickets are sold in all newsstands and bookstores. In addition, there are online tickets which are located on the Internet. And today, a huge number of apps for smartphones and tablets.

If we are talking about teaching driving, restrictions will be more. For example, to obtain the rights to the moped can from the age of 16. While the category of rights to a moped only stipulated in the government, so in practice it is quite problematic to receive them.
The traffic police claim that the early study of PDD it is useful even for small children. This will help them to start to navigate in space and do not violate the rules, for example, when crossing the road.


If you are going to drive a motorcycle, the rights can be obtained from 18 years of age. But to receive them will have to pass theoretical and practical examinations for category A. note that external training was canceled, so I have to go to driving school. Alternatively, you can learn at 16, but to the right still will be possible only after puberty.

The exam for obtaining the rights category is open to persons aged 17 years, but the rights to will be available only at 18. The training category is only possible in a driving school.

Training and examinations into categories of greater complexity, i.e. those that allow you to manage trucks and buses, can occur at any age from 17 years old. However, getting the right one will not be before the student turns 21. But to get the right category E, you need to have experience driving of category b, C, D at least a year.

Based on this distinction, the experts recommend to start training 2-3 months before the learner must be at least 18 years old (or 16 for those who want to drive a moped). So you can just make it to adulthood and immediately officially start to drive a car. Moreover, many driving schools may charge a fee for training too young students, making early learning economically disadvantageous.

When to study: summer or winter



Making the decision when to start learning, many people rely not only on age but also on seasonality. The most popular season is of course summer. It is believed that the warm period to study is easier, since it does not interfere with extra clothes, bright sun uplifting, etc., However, experts claim that there are drawbacks to summer as a period for driving instruction. First, it is the heat, not all training vehicles are equipped with air conditioning. In addition, the too bright sun can dazzle in the most unexpected moments. Thirdly, on a dry track quite difficult to master such important skills as the counter drifts.

Instructors also argue that the best seasons are spring and autumn when it is possible to train different skills in driving.
