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 know such people who use the handbrake for not rolling back)
I signed up at driver's school and in december I will start. categories B & C and mb I will use the handbrake in this way looool
mb it can depends on hill and weather ( ICE AND BEARS EVERYWHERE )

I have Q - How much is driver's school (B category) cost and duration of lessons?
In the north 833$ , 2 months

:chin: 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.

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.

the schools taught it free when i got mine

but thats like 13 years ago

x2

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

yeah we had to do that it was the basic price of a new licesne it was 4 bucks back then 20 now

Yeah replacements are $25 I think now

same in cali, but your insurance would be cheaper if you took the class.

there like 20 in ky or 24 one i cant remeber i used to get me car tagged and license renewed all for under 25 bucks.

yeah same here 3 cars and house the same as was for one car at 18

we dont have to insure atvs?

I insured them cuz we were drivin from alaska to nc with them, I keep it cuz of the shitty neghbors.

oic neighbors be family so life is good here

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
