Driving exam 2025: school test, at Regitra, mistakes

Driving test

While still studying driving theory (or having successfully passed the theory exam at Regitra), you can start preparing for the driving test at a driving school. You will have 30 mandatory academic hours (for category B) of practical driving school, and then a school driving test. After passing the school driving test, you will also be able to take the practical driving test at the State Enterprise Regitra. Not everyone manages to successfully pass the exams the first time, so don't be afraid to take additional lessons so that you are confident in your abilities when taking the Regitra driving test.

School driving test

You will be required to prepare for the practical driving test at a driving school, where you will have to complete at least 30 academic hours in total with a driving instructor. The driving instructor will first teach you the mandatory driving maneuvers on the site, and then you will drive on city streets and on routes approved by the State Enterprise "Regitra".

You will learn to drive in a specially prepared vehicle , which is equipped with additional pedals for the instructor, so that he can brake for you or perform other maneuvers if necessary.

After completing the mandatory 30 academic hours of driving, you will be required to pass a school driving test at your driving school. If you fail the first time, you can retake the test. The school driving test is a great time to prepare for the "Regitra" test and find out your driving strengths and weaknesses.

How long is a school driving test valid for?
