Rules for taking the theoretical exam on traffic rules

The theoretical exam at the MIA service centre consists of 20 test questions, which must be completed in 20 minutes. No more than two errors are allowed. If there are more errors, the exam is considered failed.

The structure of the questions is as follows:

10 — on traffic rules;

4 — on traffic safety basics;

4 on the structure and operation of the selected category of vehicle;

2 on providing first aid.

A retake is possible after 10 days. There is no limit to the number of retakes. You can prepare for the exam at a driving school or on your own using official materials.

Remember! The first months of driving are a special responsibility for yourself and other drivers on the road. For peace of mind, we recommend that, in addition to the mandatory OSAGO insurance, you take out Mini-HULL insurance, which covers not only damage to victims but also to your own car, and may also include risks from the consequences of war.
