Autodrome exercises online. The principle of correct execution of the “Snake” exercise on the race track. Performing the exercise "Controlled intersection"

Procedure:

1. We're off to the start.
2. We park the car in zone A
3. We reverse into the parking space in position 3 (On the diagram, the trajectory of movement is indicated by a yellow line.)
   • From point A, we move backward until the rear right wheel is level with pillar B. (Pillar B will be visible in the right rear window of the car.)
   • We turn the steering wheel almost completely to the right and continue to move back until we see the G-pillar in the left mirror.
   • We continue to move backwards, leveling the car, while simultaneously watching the right wing of our car so that it does not hit the B pillar.
   • We completely align the car, parallel to the dotted line, while the car should not cross this line.

Exercise No. 2. Stopping and starting on an incline.

The most terrifying element for a beginner!

Procedure:

Exercise No. 3. Snake

Procedure:

1. We start moving from the starting point and drive to the STOP point, avoiding obstacles (chips) along the trajectory indicated by the yellow line.
   • As soon as we crossed the start line, sharply turn the steering wheel to the left.
   • When the right front wheel crosses the imaginary line (dashed line), sharply turn the steering wheel to the right, placing the car parallel to the imaginary line.
   • When the right mirror is level with the second chip (opposite car B), sharply turn the steering wheel to the right.
   • As soon as the left front wheel crosses the imaginary line, turn left.
   • Then we follow the same algorithm.
2. Don’t forget to turn off the gear after stopping at the STOP point and put the car on the handbrake.

Exercise No. 4. Entry into boxing.

Procedure:

1. Having started moving from the starting point, you need to move according to the trajectory (orange line with an arrow) and place the car opposite the “box”. Vehicle position 2.
   • At first speed we go to pillar A.
   • When the right wheel is level with the A-pillar, turn left.
   • We continue to drive to the left until we see pillars A and B in the left and right mirrors, respectively.
2. D moving in reverse(the trajectory is indicated by a green line), we go to “BOXING”.
   • We move in reverse, trying to keep the same distance between the car and the stand on one side and the other. We control this process in the side mirrors.
   • When the car crosses the dotted line, we stop immediately and do not forget to take off the gear and put the car on the handbrake.

Exercise No. 5. Turnaround (yard).

Procedure:

1. From the starting point we move to point A until the right wheel is at the level of pillar A.
2. Turn the wheels completely to the left and move towards the B pillar.
3. A meter before pillar B, we begin to slow down and turn the steering wheel to the right.
4. We stop at drain B.
5. Turn the steering wheel completely to the right.
6. By controlling the reversing movement in the mirrors (you can turn back), we move to point B and stop.
7. Turning the steering wheel to the left, we approach the STOP point.
8. We switch to neutral and put the handbrake on.

It is impossible to obtain a license for the first time or when opening a new category of license without passing a practical exam. The site in the traffic police is one of three mandatory stages to obtain a driver's license.

As practice shows, many people have no problems passing the theory test. But when it comes to the site, a significant portion of those who want to get their license go home. Sad but true. The most interesting thing is that problems arise not because of the inability to perform the necessary elements, but simply because of anxiety. Driving schools now pay great attention to driving practice, and students come to the exam with the necessary skills, but cannot implement them in the exam. Excitement, the feeling of a crowd gets in the way, another car came across - not the one we learned on. There are many factors. You need to be able to cope with these factors and complete all the exercises on the site at the traffic police.

Let’s take a closer look at what exercises need to be completed during the traffic police exam from September 1, 2016.

Time frame

For the fastest participants traffic will be subject to strict time limits in the exam. For motorcycle categories “A”, “M” and subcategory A1, parking and leaving the parking lot must be done in 2 minutes (exercise 3), it is not difficult. But boarding and disembarking passengers in 15 seconds (exercise 3). And exercise 1 includes super-speed elements:

• figure eight in 35 seconds;
• snake in 20 seconds;
• high-speed maneuvering in 35 seconds;
• clearance corridor in 15 seconds.

You will need to complete all 3 exercises.

On the court for categories "BE", "CE" and "DE" and subcategories "C1E" and "D1E" each exercise must be completed within 3 minutes. At the very difficult exercise 9 “Coupling and uncoupling or uncoupling and re-coupling a trailer with a tractor”, the regulations allow 10 minutes. Even someone else’s help at the request of a driver candidate when performing this exercise on the site is allowed. It will be possible to ask someone from those waiting their turn at the exam to guide when the tractor is approaching the trailer in reverse, to assist in the coupling (clause 23.1 of Appendix 7 to the regulations).

Let's take a closer look at the exercises for categories B, C and subcategories B1, C1.

Stopping and starting on an incline

The examinee must stop the car in front of the “STOP 1” line so that all wheels are on the ascent section (see diagram), then the vehicle must be secured in a stationary state.

After this, the candidate driver must continue driving in a forward direction, not allowing the car to roll back more than 0.3 m, and stop in front of the “STOP-2” line at a distance of no more than 1 m, engage neutral gear (when performing the exercise in a vehicle vehicle with manual transmission). Fixes the vehicle again in a stationary state and only after this can you leave the exercise area, i.e. cross the "STOP-2" line.

This exercise is popularly called the flyover. It seems that everything is simple at first glance, but it was not so. This exercise gives a complete picture of how well the driver feels the pedals. The skill of performing uphill starts is developed over time, but every driver, regardless of experience, must know how to do it correctly.

This element of the site does not represent an entry onto the overpass for repairs, but a traffic jam on the hill. Imagine: the entire stream of cars is standing on a hill and waiting for a green traffic light, while the car is on the pedal or hand brake. When the traffic light turns green, everyone releases the brakes and starts to climb. The car should start correctly and not roll into the car behind.

During the test on a race track, starting uphill is done with the hand brake. As soon as the next stage of the exercise begins - driving uphill, do not rush to take the car off the brake, because... this will lead to a rollback. First, you need to slightly release the clutch pedal to feel that the car is being pulled forward a little, and only after that, simultaneously remove the handbrake and press the gas pedal. With this algorithm, there will either be no rollback, or it will be completely minimal (allowable up to 30 cm).

Maneuvering in confined spaces

The “Maneuvering in Confined Space” exercise consists of 3 elements. At the site, the examiner, at his discretion, will assign you to perform two of the three following:

• Rotates 90 degrees.
• Turning around in a confined space.
• Snake.

For execution turns 90 degrees The driver candidate must alternately turn the car left and right along a given trajectory on the race track:

Turning around in confined spaces

In another way, this element is called “Turn in three steps.” It is considered a simple element of the site. This element is performed in three steps: turning left, moving in reverse with the steering wheel turned to the right, moving forward with the car in the opposite position to the original one.

Snake

The description of this element is quite simple, but it is not so easy to implement: the driver candidate alternately makes left and right turns along a given trajectory.

When performing the “snake” element, the candidate driver is prohibited from crossing the solid horizontal lines marking the boundaries of the “snake” element. At the same time, it is forbidden to knock down the cones that indicate the trajectory of the car. The element execution speed should be reduced.

At the end of the “snake”, put the gear in neutral and stop. You can receive 5 points for an error if the cadet deviates from the specified trajectory or knocks down elements of marking equipment. 5 points will be given if you crossed the horizontal marking line of the site or crossed the “STOP” line (according to the projection of the front clearance of the vehicle).

3 points are given if you did not engage neutral gear after stopping, did not apply the parking brake after stopping in the parking zone. It is forbidden for the engine to stall while performing any exercise - 1 point will be deducted for this. Read more about penalty points for the traffic police exam.

Driving and maneuvering in reverse, entering the pit in reverse

The following exercise makes it clear how well the driver has mastered the skills of reversing. People simply call it “Entry to Boxing”.

The candidate driver must, having entered the exercise area, maneuver in reverse to place the vehicle in the simulated box so that the projection of the vehicle's front dimensions crosses the control line of the exercise.

Having entered the box, you need to engage neutral gear and lock vehicle when stationary with the parking brake. Then you leave the box and cross the end line of the exercise.

The element of entering the box is carried out by car from the starting position; it can be done both on the right and on the left side of the conditional box. You can enter the box only by engaging reverse gear once. Gross errors - 5 points for each - are: failure of elements of marking equipment, driving beyond the horizontal marking line of the site, crossing the “STOP” line (along the front marker of the vehicle).

You can get 3 points for an error if you do not apply the parking brake after stopping in front of the line, do not enter the box when engaging reverse gear once, or do not engage neutral gear after stopping with the engine running.

Parking a vehicle and leaving a parking space, parking for loading (unloading) on ​​a loading ramp (platform), stopping for safe boarding or disembarking of passengers

To carry out the “Parallel Parking” exercise, you need to place the car in a parking space using reverse gear. The left edge of the car should not cross the control line for the exercise. After putting the car into “parking”, it is necessary to engage neutral gear and fix the vehicle in a stationary state. Only after securing the car can you leave the parking space.

Driving through a controlled intersection" (for automated racing tracks)

For automated racing tracks, the regulations provide for one more exercise: driving through an intersection.

The examinee drives through a controlled intersection in accordance with the traffic management scheme of the automated circuit, observing the requirements of the traffic lights.

Accordingly, when the prohibitory traffic light is on, the vehicle must be stopped in front of the "STOP" line, and after the green traffic light is turned on, drive through the intersection in the given direction.

To perform the exercise “Passing a controlled intersection” on a race track, a T-shaped intersection can be used.

Good luck on your exam!

Specialists of the Rosznak Company will help implement turnkey projects of motor racing tracks, driving training sites with the installation of traffic signs, traffic lights, various types fencing.

A separate area for acquiring driving skills is needed to simply learn how to drive a car, because you cannot immediately get on the road along with experienced motorists. But finding a place to train is not so easy. And it’s better to know in advance the conditions under which the test will take place, otherwise at this stage you may stumble and fail the exam.

Read further in the article about what driving training sites are, where to find training areas, and whether an abandoned site is suitable.

Read in this article

Requirements for the driving training site

A separate area where a driver candidate can practice and then take one of the stages of the exam must be adapted for this. After all, on it you need to prepare for complex maneuvers, learn to feel the car, just start and stop. The requirements for driving training areas are set out in Government Decree No. 1097 of October 24, 2014. Among them there are general ones and those relating to certain types of these zones.

Open

Open areas for driving lessons may be so called because they are located outdoors and not indoors. Although there is no such concept in Resolution No. 1097. However, if the territory intended for training driving is located at a driving school, it must be:

• fenced so that pedestrians and other cars do not get there;
• have a size of 0.24 hectares;
• with asphalt or cement-concrete surface;
• equipped for performing U-turns, driving in reverse, “snake”, turns and other exercises;
• with a slope of 8-16%;
• with drainage.

If the special site does not meet these requirements, the educational institution will not receive a license and will not be able to legally accept those wishing to purchase rights.

Closed

There is information in the Government Decree about what a closed area for driving lessons should be like. What does the term itself mean:

“closed area” is a section of terrain with a hard surface, limited for the movement of vehicles and pedestrians, equipped with removable equipment and temporary markings for the performance of test exercises by candidate drivers.

That is, this is a specially equipped place where road conditions are simulated for students. It must meet the same requirements as those located outdoors. Actually, in most cases this territory is not equipped indoors. And yet it is called closed, since access for outsiders is limited.

But if the site is located indoors, there must be good ventilation, heating that works during the cold season, and high-quality artificial lighting. Other necessary conditions for its existence are the same as in the previous case.

Autodrom

In addition to closed areas intended for training candidates for driving licenses, there are also racing tracks. There is also information about what this is in Resolution No. 1097:

"autodrome" is a complex of technical means and structures intended for driving training and (or) conducting examinations on initial vehicle driving skills and equipped for these purposes with stationary equipment and markings for performing test exercises by driver candidates...

That is, an autodrome is a platform for driving training, where there should be not only marking lines, but also traffic lights, road signs of the 1st or 2nd standard sizes. If it is automated, then they also install technical means, ensuring the interaction of the dispatcher with the vehicle, as well as monitoring, evaluating and storing the results of future drivers performing individual exercises and the test in general.

Otherwise, the requirements for the autodrome are the same as for the closed training area for driving school visitors.

The platform for learning to drive a motorcycle must be at least 100 m long. This is the only additional requirement for it. Otherwise, the territory must have all the same parameters prescribed in Resolution No. 1097.

Where to find a free one for driving a car, motorcycle

The territory chosen by the future driver’s license holder for independent training must meet the following conditions:

• Do not be part of the roadway or sidewalk. It should be a truly separate area where pedestrians or other motorists cannot be encountered.
• Comply with the parameters of the site where the exam is to take place. That is open area should be chosen so that there is enough space for maneuvers, normal coverage, etc.

What options can you consider:

• Experienced motorists recommend using supermarket parking lots as a platform for self-driving training. At night they are empty. And the candidate for the license can have this space at his disposal to practice maneuvers. Unless, of course, he is afraid of meeting with a traffic police officer.
• Country parking lots can be used as free driving training areas. Some of them are free even during the day. And at night there will definitely be no one there, and you can travel to get practice. But the police should still be wary.

Some people cope with the problem of where to find a place for driving lessons by using country roads in sparsely populated areas. But if a traffic police officer meets a candidate for a driver’s license there, he will consider it a violation of the rules. Because in fact this is participation in a movement without a license, which is punishable under Article 12.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses with a fine of 5,000-15,000 rubles. Even having an instructor nearby will not help you avoid having to pay. After all, the traffic rules have clause 21.5:

The mechanical vehicle on which training is carried out must be equipped in accordance with paragraph 5 of the Basic Provisions and have identification marks “Training vehicle”.

That is, a driver learning to drive a car before receiving a license cannot even drive on an empty road. Only transport from a driving school is suitable for this.

Is it possible to train on abandoned sites?

Abandoned sites for driving lessons are also an option for a new driver who does not yet have a license or extra money. But you need to choose a place where there is no waist-deep grass, stumps, or potholes. They make training conditions as close as possible to the realities of real roads, but because of them it is easy to damage the car.

And yet, according to the Code of Administrative Offences, driving a car or motorcycle without a license, even in an abandoned vacant lot, also falls under Article 12.7. A cheap platform for learning to drive your own car can end up costing 5,000-15,000 rubles. fine

Possible changes to the law

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation has developed a project that proposes to improve the procedure for taking exams for high school. The police want to cancel the test of driving at a site or race track for future car drivers. The developers of the law are confident that this part of the test does not provide anything in terms of road safety. And the exercises that are currently being taken on the site will be demonstrated by candidates for obtaining a license in urban conditions.

It is intended to use streets with calm traffic for this purpose. They plan to leave the circuit only for motorcyclists.

It is unknown whether the changes from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be accepted. But all this reinforces the need for training for future drivers. After all, performing maneuvers in real conditions is much more difficult than in a specially organized training space.

Taking into account the requirements of traffic rules, Article 12.7 of the Code of Administrative Offences, and the difficulties in finding training space, the best areas for learning to drive should be found at driving schools. Of course you have to pay. But the candidate for the license will have the opportunity to practice in a calm environment and as close as possible to real conditions.

Useful video

Watch this video about where and how to find a free platform for learning to drive a car:

In this article I will tell you an algorithm by which any novice driver can perform the parallel parking exercise on a race track. I’ll immediately make a reservation that the described sequence of actions will lead to a positive result, if the dimensions of the exercise are the same as here, if different, then adjustments are necessary. Also, you should not stop at just memorizing the algorithm, you need to perform the exercise thoughtfully, remembering how the trajectory of the car changes with your actions .

In Vologda, during the traffic police exam, exercises are given for a car with L = 4.1 m, W = 1.8 m. I will use the example of a Lada Largus car (L = 4.5 m), despite its slightly longer length, there are problems with execution this exercise does not arise. Other cars have similar guidelines.

Procedure for performing the exercise Parallel parking on a race track

1. We start the exercise from the START line, move at low speed parallel to the line of posts AB at a distance of about 0.5 m from it.

When the A-pillar is in the middle of the right rear side window, we stop.

2. Turn the steering wheel to the extreme right position, engage reverse gear, start driving at low speed, looking in the left mirror.

When the corner post C appears in the mirror, we stop.

3. Make the wheels straight, move straight back, install the A-pillar in the lower right corner of the car windshield, stop (once you achieve a certain skill, you don’t have to stop at intermediate stages) .

At this moment, the rear left wheel of the car should be on line AB.

4. Turn the steering wheel to the extreme left position, move back until lateral line the vehicle will not be parallel to the line of the AB pillars.

After stopping, the car must be completely in the parking area, limited by racks and broken marking lines.
If you see that the car has not crossed the dotted line, then you need to get to the line of the aircraft pillars as close as possible, then turn the wheels to the right, engage first gear and drive to the right corner.
At the end of each exercise, be sure to put the vehicle in neutral and the handbrake and wait for the inspector to verify this.

Exam errors

Typical mistakes when performing the exercise “Parallel parking on a race track”

Gross errors - 5 penalty points

• Knocked down elements of marking equipment or crossed the horizontal marking line of the site.
• Did not cross the dotted line (according to the projection of the vehicle’s side marker).

Average errors - 3 penalty points

• I was unable to enter the parking zone when the reverse gear was engaged once.
• Did not engage neutral after stopping with the engine running.
• Did not apply the parking brake after stopping in a parking zone.

Minor mistakes - 1 penalty point

• While performing the exercise, the engine stalled.

An exercise is considered completed if the sum of penalty points is less than 5. If a driver candidate has not completed only one exercise out of all those provided for in the complex, then he is given the opportunity to perform this exercise again.

Penalty points from one exercise to another and to the city are not transferred.
