Is simulated driving practice mandatory for obtaining a driver's license?

[DelJulian]

Simulated driving practice is required for obtaining a driver's license. Here are key considerations during practice: 1. Overtaking and lane changing: Execute overtaking and lane changes decisively while maintaining close proximity to the preceding vehicle, particularly on bidirectional roads to minimize overtaking duration. Always thoroughly observe adjacent lane traffic via side mirrors - assessing both distance and speed of trailing vehicles. Lane changes should only occur when safety is confirmed, as the lane-changing vehicle bears full responsibility for collisions. 2. Engine sound monitoring: Abnormal noises occur during high-speed driving with low gears (gear dragging) or low-speed driving with high gears (accompanied by vehicle vibration). Typically, shift to 2nd gear after initial movement, then progress to 3rd gear at approximately 40 km/h. 3. Neutral gear usage: While coasting in neutral may be permissible at low speeds without compromising safety, fuel-injected vehicles experience significant fuel consumption. Never engage neutral gear downhill - this risks brake failure and potential vehicle control loss if the engine stalls.
