Agree, today there are just a huge number of vehicles on city roads. Cars, trucks, trucks… Yes, what to say, solid traffic jams. Therefore, many city dwellers realized that it is possible to move around on a simple and affordable form of transport - a motorcycle. In addition, some citizens do not want to drive four-wheeled carts at all, considering them too pompous and uncomfortable. They are interested in how to get the "A" category.
What are the categories?
There are five categories in total, among which "A" is mopeds, motorcycles, as well as other vehicles that have only two wheels. Many motorists are already thinking about how to get an "A" category. Still, you see, two-wheeled vehicles have little in common with four-wheeled vehicles. Moreover, even ifa person has the necessary skills to drive a motorcycle, he still needs to obtain the appropriate license in order to become a full road user.
Often in the life of a motorist, a situation arises when you desperately need to have the skills to drive a vehicle of a different category than the one indicated in the driver's license. However, learning how to drive a particular machine is one thing, but getting a specific additional mark is quite another.
Where to get it?
The rapid increase in the number of vehicles on the roads, as mentioned above, leads to the inevitable formation of numerous traffic jams. It is this circumstance that is the reason that an increasing number of people change to motorcycles. The mentioned vehicle today has such a unique property as incredible mobility. In particular, if a person does not need to carry any bulky goods, then a motorcycle is a very good option that allows you to deftly maneuver on modern roads. However, for official management, they need a special mark in the driver's documents. And how to get "A"-category? The correct answer is to receive special training at school. Of course, it is not at all necessary to sit your pants at a desk. You can also apply externally for category "A", which is very convenient for busy people.
However, let's make a reservation right away: this is possible provided that you already havepractical driving skills, and the theoretical part of the exam was passed less than three months ago. In this case, additional training for the corresponding category is not required.
How to choose a school?
Actually, in this case, it is necessary to proceed from the same principles as when choosing a standard establishment of a similar profile. Let's assume that you have already chosen a driving school. Category "A", perhaps, is also provided for in it. Then you can study in parallel, so to speak, in several directions. In this case, you will save not only money, but also your time.
In particular, you should pay attention to the experts who will teach driving. They must be really professionals, since motorcycle control requires specific knowledge and skills. It's no secret that such a vehicle is easier to turn over, which means that the situation on the road can get out of control at any time. That is why it is recommended to pay increased attention to teaching self-preservation skills.
Besides this, a very important criterion is the equipment of the motorcycle school. If you already have a motorcycle that you intend to ride in the future, it is worth choosing an organization that can offer practice driving that particular vehicle (or at least with similar properties).
In the learning process, do not forget about the theoretical part. Over time, your practical skills will be constantly improved, but the theory is the opposite. These days, getting an "A"-category is half the battle. Whereit is more important to maintain the level of knowledge and training at the proper level, and if you also improve them, it’s generally wonderful! In this case, we can assume that you are half insured against accidents and road accidents.
Benefits of motorcycle skills
It should be said right away that category "A" today allows you to control absolutely any motorcycle. In particular, this may include both ordinary two-wheeled units and vehicles equipped with special wheelchairs. In addition, with this category of driving, a person will be able to drive vehicles equipped with side trailers in the future.
Motorcycle & travel
Many people want to get "A" - category, because driving a motorcycle has certain advantages. So, traveling around other countries, you can easily rent any two-wheeled vehicle. Agree, this is extremely convenient, because you can get to your destination without any problems, without standing in traffic jams for many kilometers and without wandering through the narrow streets on foot. After training for the "A" category, you will be the owner of a driver's license of a new type, recognized in one hundred and forty-three states, therefore, new horizons will be opened to you. If you are already studying in another direction, but in the future you want to drive a motorcycle, you can then pass to category "A" (only the practical part - driving). It should be noted that the theorywill torment just once.
Among other things, you can also not retake the theory exam if, for example, you already have another category open. This requires that you obtain a driver's license less than three months ago.
Specifics and features of training
So, we have already decided that it is necessary to decide on a motorcycle school from the very beginning. At the same time, different institutions can offer different workloads and a different approach to learning. Excellent preparation for passing both the theoretical and practical exams should be provided by highly qualified instructors, normal adequate conditions for storage, repair, choice of two-wheeled vehicles, motorcycles that are serviceable and easy to drive, and the availability of a wide variety of courses. In addition, when choosing a motorcycle school, you should pay great attention to the work schedule, because if a person is busy, his day is scheduled by the minute. Another important selection criterion is the cost of education. You can find out how much category "A" costs by simply calling a specific motorcycle school. We will return to this issue later.
How is the training going?
Usually a course consists of sixteen lessons. This number may be large, but never less. You can also choose to attend school on Saturdays, if available. It should be noted that Yamaha motorcycles are usually used for practicing the practical part in most organizations. This is the most popular brand. However, don't be alarmed if some school offers you other options. It is important that motorcycles are modern and serviceable. The peculiarity of the training lies in the fact that numerous classes are held exclusively in closed areas. Do not be surprised at this circumstance, since the motorcycle belongs to the units of increased danger, therefore, great attention is paid to the safety of both the students themselves and the people around them.
How much?
This is the most interesting question for those who want to get the coveted crust. Education is usually paid. Course fees vary by organization. It is clear that if an elite driving school is chosen, category "A" (the price of training, by the way, still varies depending on the location and teaching equipment) will cost you a pretty penny. But on average, the cost does not exceed 11 thousand rubles: about 10 thousand will be taken by a driving school, and 800 rubles - the state duty of the traffic police.
Exam and its specifics
In our time, to drive two-wheeled vehicles, as it turned out, it is necessary to pass the category "A". You can get such a certificate only when a potential driver reaches the age of sixteen. And where to pass on the category "A"? That's right, the traffic police. It is this body that has the right to take theoretical and practical exams, as well as assign the appropriate categories. You only need to contact the inspection, of course, having prepared in advance. In particular, you should have a passport, two photographs, a medical certificate, a driver's license with you if you already have one. a littlelater it will be necessary to pay the relevant fees and provide receipts for their payment. In addition, you should prepare copies of all the above documents in advance. Before the exam, a special examination sheet is started, and only after that you go to take the theory.
Theory and practice
The theoretical part of the exam consists of twenty questions, which are given twenty minutes to solve, with two errors allowed. However, it is not enough to correctly solve category “A” traffic rules tickets, you also need to pass a driving test, thereby proving that you really learned how to drive a motorcycle. If you make more than two mistakes, you will be assigned another day to retake.
Practice usually includes all the major elements of driving. Usually this includes a snake, an overall corridor and a figure eight. However, there may be other options if the examiner wants to check your level of preparation thoroughly. It is noteworthy that it is quite possible to take a practical exam on your own motorcycle, but for this the vehicle must meet certain requirements. In particular, the unit must have a manual transmission. In addition, there must be a permit for a product suitable for passing a practical exam.
What is the result?
Getting the right to drive a motorcycle will open up new opportunities for you. It is understandable, the management of any vehicle allows you to makeactions never seen before. However, one should not forget about responsibility. Still, a motorcycle is somewhat different from other vehicles. First of all, it's about speed. A two-wheeled vehicle allows you to accelerate in just seconds. Of course, you need to be able to control the huge speed so that there is no trouble.
How to improve?
Firstly, immediately after training, you must strictly observe the speed limit on the roads and try not to drive on busy roads. It is recommended to refrain from traveling in crowded areas. Of course, it is not easy to cope with yourself and your desire to ride famously, but you should think first of all about your safety and the safety of others.
Secondly, it is worth attending specialized safe driving courses, where recognized masters of driving two-wheeled "horses" will share their theoretical and practical knowledge. For example, they will tell you what to do in emergency cases, when there is no time left for reflection. They will also recommend how to behave in extraordinary situations, how to adapt to the weather conditions. Because getting an "A" category is quite simple, but driving a motorcycle is a completely different matter.
Besides this, they will surely back up theoretical delights with practical training. That is, you can independently test the acquired knowledge in practice. Agree, this will give you not only confidence on the road, but, perhaps, will save your life in the future.
Buying our first motorcycle
If you don't have your own two-wheeled vehicle yet, and you have already completed the "A"-category training, it's time to get one. When buying, you should focus on the simplicity and small volume of the motor. Why exactly? Yes, because a super-strong bike in the hands of a beginner is a loaded gun, sorry, in the hands of a monkey. No need to exaggerate your own abilities, just admit to yourself that you are far enough from a professional. Don't be afraid to appear insecure on the road. Remember that most motorcycle accidents happen because of their overconfidence. Never let yourself be on the road as a driver without special equipment. At the same time, one should not save on the “uniforms” either.
