In Russia, is it common for people driving manual transmissions to use the handbrake (to prevent rolling back) when they stop and need to go again on a hill?

I don't remember paying for the required driver's education course but there was probably a fee.
Generally, at 15 or 16 years old we can take a government-sponsored course, followed by a written test which grants a limited driving permit. With that permit we are allowed to drive with an adult licensed driver as a passenger, and in fact required to drive like that for a specified amount of time. After that we can take the road test and, if we pass, be granted a license. Fees for the course, tests, permit, and license are probably 10 to 100 USD. It varies from one state to the next, and it's been a long time since I did it so I don't remember. Anyone with a permit can optionally pay for a driver's school that is not required. I did, hoping it would result in a discounted insurance rate, since insurance is required and is very expensive. I don't think it helped. People 18 years old or older can skip the course and permit, just take the written and road tests, and if they pass they can drive. ---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ---------- Oh, and I assume category B is common passenger cars that you would use to carry friends and family around. Our categories go something like this and may be labeled differently from one state to the next: - Passenger cars, light trucks, trailers that are legal to be towed by those light trucks, and personally owned recreational vehicles even of extremely large size - Motorcycles (and rare microcars that are classified as motorcycles) - CDL - Commercial Drivers License, required to drive a company vehicle heavier than 26,000 pounds, or for driving a bus carrying people - Various CDL additional endorsements like hazmat (hazardous materials) ...I think that's all.

I took a free class in school but it wasn't required. The only thing that was REQUIRED was to get a permit (pass written test) if under 16. And then take the driving test 6 no that later. Think it was like $25 each time lol

at school we also have chance to get free drive school course but it takes 2 years you can pass theory and then at 18 pass practice but this shit is a whole schoolbrunch - in the end of the 9th we choose brunches (biology, driveshit and mathematics-physics, I chose the last one)
So now I have chance to pass C category free from Department of Defense and kinda discount from this Derp. for category B and it will costs 356$ - still holy shit |
