At what age can you apply for a license? For car, motorcycle, moped (scooter), quad bike

Every boy dreams of growing up and driving his own motorcycle or car. In modern conditions, when many families have their own vehicles, many children literally from a young age already more or less understand the rules of the road and, perhaps, even drove the car on their own, sitting on their father's lap.

Many are interested in the question: at what age can you start training at a driving school in order to pass exams at the traffic police and drive a vehicle at the end of your studies? We will try to consider this issue in our new article on the Vodi.su website.

Category M and A1

You can learn the basics of traffic rules and driving even at the age of 10, because this is vital knowledge, but this is too young to obtain an official driver's license. First of all, mopeds and light motorcycles with an engine capacity of up to 1 cubic meters are allowed to pass exams for the rights of category M and A125. cm.

Teenagers and girls from the age of 16 are accepted for driving courses for mopeds and light motorcycles. That is, if you are only 15 years old, then you will not be able to enroll in a driving school. Accordingly, given that the learning process takes about 2-3 months, then at the age of 16 you can get the right and drive these vehicles on your own.

Recall that you can even ride a bicycle on the roadway from the age of 14. Before reaching this age, you can ride only on sports grounds, bicycle paths, in the courtyard of the house, but it is forbidden to drive on the public road.

To obtain a driver's license A1 or M, you need to pass an exam at the traffic police:

• 20 questions on traffic rules and theory;
• driving skills on the autodrome.

Only after successful delivery, the teenager will have the rights of the corresponding categories.

Categories A, B, C

If you want to learn how to ride and manage a powerful modern motorcycle, then for this you need to have a category A license. They can be obtained at the age of 18 and older. Accordingly, training can begin at the age of 17, but if you complete your studies and you are not yet 18 full years old, then you simply will not be allowed to pass the exam at the traffic police.

Slightly different situation with cars. So, you can enter a driving school from the age of 16, at the same age driving around the city is allowed, but under the supervision of an instructor with an appropriate certificate. Students are allowed to take exams at the traffic police when they reach the age of 17. But you can only get a VU at the age of 18 and older. From the same age, you can drive independently. Do not forget to place the “Beginner Driver” sign on the rear or front windshield - we already talked about how and where to place it on the glass on Vodi.su.

At the same age, you can start training for categories B1, C and C1 - tricycles, trucks, light trucks:

• from the age of 16, students are admitted to a driving school;
• from the age of 17 you can take exams;
• Licenses are issued at 18.

Without a license, only a training ride under the supervision of an instructor is allowed. Otherwise, the driver will face fines under Article 12.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses - from five to fifteen thousand. In this case, the vehicle will be detained and sent to the impound, and the driver himself will be detained until the circumstances and identity are clarified.

Other categories of higher education

If you wish to drive a passenger vehicle (category D), you must wait until you are 21 years old. We also note that even the transportation of passengers on a moped and a motorcycle is allowed only with a 2-year driving experience.

It is possible to drive vehicles with a trailer (category E) only with relevant experience - at least one year of experience in the relevant category (BE, CE, DE). Based on the foregoing, we conclude that the optimal age to start training is 17,5 years. You will have enough time to study theoretical and practical questions, as well as prepare for the exams.
