By the way, they need to be studied first of all when studying the issue of how to obtain a driver’s license, along with the Government Decree “On permission to drive vehicles.”

According to the current legislation of the Russian Federation and the decoding of the driver's license category, in order to obtain the right to drive a motorcycle, you must obtain a category A license.

In turn, a driver’s license for a motorcycle of subcategory A1 can be issued from the age of 16, and category A - only from the age of 18.

The rules of the road regarding learning driving are categorical: a person learning to drive a car or motorcycle must be at least 16 years old.

Driving school for obtaining a motorcycle driver's license

To obtain a driver's license, you must attend a driving school. Now there is a large selection of them. Pay attention to the quantity and quality of practical hours.

Before enrolling in a driving school, you must pass a driver's medical examination and obtain a medical certificate in the prescribed form, including a narcologist and a psychologist.

You also need to collect the following documents:

Application for admission to courses (the form is provided at the institution itself or can be downloaded from the school website);
A photocopy of the passport in three copies;
Medical certificate;
Receipt for paid tuition fees and a photocopy of it
Two color photos 3.5 x 4.5 without corners

A written agreement must be concluded with the driving school; pay attention to how payment under the agreement is divided: fuel, practical training and theoretical basis. Inquire about the license.

Training for category A

Training for category A in a driving school should include theoretical classes where they study the rules of the road, providing first aid on the road, rules of behavior during conflicts on the road and the technical features of motorcycles. During practical classes, the instructor teaches practical driving skills.

After training at a driving school, you will be issued a certificate stating that you have been trained in driving category “A” vehicles. And the next mandatory step is passing the exam at the traffic police.

How much does it cost to get a license category M?

Of course, it is difficult to name the exact cost of training for a moped license. Each driving school has its own prices and they depend on many factors, including the region. For example, education in Moscow will be more expensive than in Pskov. But keep in mind that for category M, the cost of training in a driving school is much lower than for other categories. Speaking in numbers, the pricing policy varies from 2000 to 5000 rubles. This is the average price for training for a license for a scooter and moped. More details about the terms and cost of training in this article.

Passing the exam at the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate for a motorcycle driver's license, at what age?

You can take the traffic police exam from the age of 16, but provide the written consent of your legal representatives (parents). Such consent is not required in the case of a decision on emancipation or marriage.

The theoretical part of the exam is taken on tickets, there are 40 of them in total, each with 20 questions. The future driver is given 20 minutes to complete the test. To receive a “PASS” grade, he can make no more than 2 mistakes. Otherwise, the score will be 0, and the exam will have to be retaken.

After successfully passing the theoretical exam, the license applicant is allowed to take a practical exam, in which you need to demonstrate your motorcycle driving skills on the site.

How to get a motorcycle license if you have category “B”?

Open category “B” does not give its owner the right to drive a motorcycle over 50cc. You'll have to sit down at your desk again and go through the DD rules again. Only after successfully passing the oral part of the exam will the driver be allowed to take the practical test.

Some people will be outraged by this approach - why learn the rules, all this has been covered. It's not about the traffic rules themselves, but about the specifics of driving a motorcycle. Driving a car is very different from riding a two-wheeler.

However, if you feel strong enough, you don’t have to attend a motorcycle school. Practice your motorcycle riding skills on your own. But where is the guarantee that you are performing all the elements correctly?

Still, it’s worth playing it safe and taking a lesson or two from an experienced driver-instructor. He will clearly explain the requirements for the exams.

Practical part of the exam

It is necessary that the motorcycle on which the candidate for a license will demonstrate driving skills to the instructor meets safety requirements. Otherwise, the vehicle will not be allowed to take the exam.

To adapt to the vehicle, the driver is allowed to drive around the site for 2 minutes before the exam, which is not counted in the overall assessment system.

The practical part for motorcyclist candidates consists of several exercises, the order of which is determined by the examiner.

After completing one exercise, the examinee, without turning off the engine, informs the instructor with the light of the headlight that he is ready to perform the next one.

If you fail to complete one exercise, you are given the opportunity to repeat it. If you fail again when repeating, it is considered that the exam has not been passed.

If for some reason the examinee refuses to take the exam before it begins, the examiner will allow him to take the exam on another day.

If you have not passed the theoretical part of the exam, then a retake can be scheduled no earlier than seven days later. The law does not limit the number of theory retakes, but the practical exam can only be taken three times a week, and then a retake can only be scheduled after 30 days.

Please remember that if you fail the practical exam within 6 months, you will have to take the theoretical exam again.

Obtaining a motorcycle driver's license category

When you have successfully passed both exams, all that remains is to get your driver’s license with category “A”. If category “A” is open on your driver’s license, then it gives you the right to drive any motorcycles, including light motorcycles belonging to category “A1” and mopeds included in category “M”. Category “A” can be obtained by persons who have reached the age of 18; at the age of 16, a driver’s license of categories “A1” and “M” is available.

Do not forget that in accordance with the current legislation, a motorcycle driver’s license, no matter how old you were received, is valid for 10 years and after this period is subject to replacement or exchange.

drivers of vehicles that do not require a license to drive are under 14 years of age, they are prohibited from entering the roadway
. Children need to use safer paths.

Answering reader questions

If the moped is structurally slower than 50 km/h
and the engine capacity does not exceed 50 cubic centimeters, then you must move along the bike path if there is one.
If there is no bicycle lane, then movement should be in the rightmost lane. At the same time paragraph 2 of section 24 of the traffic rules
indicates that you can move “...including in the lane for route vehicles,” which can be dangerous.

According to the same paragraph of the rules, you can move “... either along the side of the road, sidewalk or pedestrian path, without creating a danger for pedestrian traffic” if
there is no bicycle path.
Let us remind you that all this applies to mopeds and other vehicles
with a speed of up to 50 km/h
and bicycles.

Important!

Two-wheeled vehicles, be it an electric scooter, bicycle or moped, are a vehicle of increased danger due to their inconspicuous nature on public roads. Therefore, it is recommended to know and follow traffic rules to ensure the safety of yourself and those around you.
