These competencies include preparing the car for driving, assessing traffic situations, proper behavior on the road, driving straight, on a winding road, parking the car, and others.

Driving lessons are attended at a selected driving school, when together with an instructor you drive on probable routes that will be relevant during the "Regitra" exam.
