Examination cards for the safe operation of self-propelled vehicles of category A1
Important points on self-propelled vehicles
You need to know what categories self-propelled vehicles are divided into and what licenses you need to obtain. The level of security in companies and organizations depends on this.
To drive such vehicles, you must obtain special licenses.
Traffic police officers classify driving self-propelled vehicles with an inappropriate license as driving without a license. Responsibility for violating this rule can be not only administrative, but even criminal.
If the violations are serious enough, not only the perpetrators of the violations and crimes, but also the managers of the companies in which they work can be held accountable.
Punishments are imposed on them for the reason that they allowed the equipment to be controlled by people who do not have the right and proper skills to do so.
Inspection and supervision of technical condition
The main technical supervision body is Gostekhnadzor. Supervision includes:
- Technical inspection.
- Registration.
- Safe operation for the environment.
- Monitoring repairs and operation.
- Control of vehicle production.
- Passing driving tests.
- Certification control.
- Consideration of claims from owners of self-propelled vehicles.
- Insurance control.
- Consideration of some administrative offenses.
For violation of traffic rules and the operation of self-propelled vehicles of category C, administrative liability is provided in the form of a fine or other more severe sanction.
Categories of self-propelled vehicles
It is not difficult to understand the main categories of self-propelled vehicles, as well as the licenses required to operate them. In this case, Resolution No. 796 of July 12, 1999 should be taken as a basis.
It provides information related to the management of machines and the issuance of certificates intended for this process.
The document that allows you to drive a self-propelled vehicle and is issued to the driver will be called in 2022, as before, the tractor driver’s license.
The received tractor driver's license may contain entries on certain categories of modern equipment. Each point in the classification of self-propelled vehicles into categories must be considered in more detail.
Category A

Basic procedure for taking the exam
Exams for obtaining a license intended for driving self-propelled vehicles are taken in a certain sequence:
- Testing theoretical knowledge on the operation of special self-propelled vehicles, their safe operation (except category F).
- Theory for the operation of self-propelled vehicles and agricultural equipment. Available for category F licenses and for those who have already qualified as a tractor driver.
- Passing theory on traffic rules.
- Testing practical knowledge of complex practical driving skills, traffic rules and the safest operation of vehicles.
The practice is completed in two stages. The first part is rented out on a site closed from traffic, which is characterized as a tractor track. The second part is carried out on a pre-selected route, which creates real operating conditions for a self-propelled vehicle.
When passing the practical part of the exam, an employee of the training center will test the following skills:
- starting to move uphill from a standstill;
- turning on a limited-width road with a one-time gear shift;
- putting the car into the box in reverse;
- placing self-propelled vehicles in a unit with a trailer in a box in reverse;
- aggregation of a self-propelled vehicle with a mounted vehicle and a trailer;
- stopping and braking at different speed levels, practicing an emergency stop.
Upon successful passing of all points of the exam, the driver receives a tractor driver's license for driving self-propelled vehicles against receipt.
Correct operation
Due to the unusual conditions of use, the safe operation of category C self-propelled vehicles requires a number of rules. These vehicles can be equipped with mounted and trailed structures that are used in various conditions. Therefore, the driver must fully complete training courses on driving self-propelled vehicles.
Driving skills, the technical part of the car, skills in providing first aid and the legal basis for operation - all this needs to be known to maintain safety, since the use of these vehicles can become a source of danger to the driver and others.
What does the issued certificate look like?
When passing exams in the categories of self-propelled equipment, the specialist receives a professional tractor driver certificate.
Previously issued rights of such a plan are withdrawn from him, and all authorizing records and marks are transferred to a new document.
The necessary restrictive, permissive and informational entries are entered in the “Special notes” column . This may be length of service, qualification restrictions, blood type, mark of control in lenses or glasses, and so on.
A tractor driver's or simply a tractor driver's license is issued for a period of up to 10 years . After this time, the document must be replaced as it is considered invalid.
What are tractor and self-propelled equipment?
This type of equipment is considered to be self-propelled machines equipped with an engine and designed to perform the following list of works:
- agricultural (main purpose);
- road construction;
- industrial;
- transport;
- earth movers, etc.
Distinctive features of tractors are low speed and high traction force. The main elements of such equipment are: engine, chassis, transmission, control mechanisms, main and auxiliary equipment.
Main categories of self-propelled tractors by type of engines used:
- Wheeled. The main feature of these machines is the possibility of their use on asphalt roads. However, on the ground the traction force decreases, and on loose soil the vehicle may even slip. This problem is solved by all-wheel drive. But such machines compact the soil too much when moving across the field.
- Tracked. They are characterized by greater traction force than wheeled ones, low speed (5-40 km/h), reduced pressure on the ground, and the impossibility of driving on asphalt roads (with the exception of models with rubber cord tracks). All these properties make tracked vehicles indispensable for work in agriculture.
Decoding categories and subcategories
As of 2022, tractor main categories of rights are represented by six groups - A, B, C, D, E, F and four subcategories - I, II, III, IV.
"A". Motor vehicles that are restricted in the right to travel on public roads or have a maximum travel speed of up to 50 km/h. In this category of different tractors there are 4 types:
- I - motorized off-road vehicles;
- II - motor transport SUVs with a maximum number of seats including the driver's seat - 9, and with a maximum weight of 3.5 tons;
- III - motor transport SUVs with a mass of over 3.5 tons and with a number of seats no more than 9;
- IV - motor transport SUVs, the main purpose of which is to transport people, having, in addition to the driver's seat, over 8 seats.
"IN". Tractors of both types (tracked and wheeled), which are equipped with an engine power of up to 25.7 kW.
"WITH". Wheeled vehicles equipped with engines with a power of 25.7-110.3 kW.
"D". Wheeled tractors with engines with power over 110.3 kW.
"E". Tracked equipment with engine power exceeding 25.7 kW.
"F". Self-propelled agricultural machinery.
That's all the categories for a self-propelled tractor.
The driver’s tractor license often contains notes related to special conditions for issuing licenses. Communication with the traffic police? They relate to restrictions on a certain category, the requirement to drive with glasses, total driving experience, etc.

The theory is submitted not only for the initial issuance of the document. Testing is also required to obtain license after revocation of a driver’s license.
At what age can tractor categories be opened?
Two years ago, significant changes were made to the rules for issuing driver’s licenses for driving tractors and self-propelled vehicles. Now, to obtain them, you must successfully complete the appropriate training (self-training is not allowed). Teaching is conducted at Gostekhnadzor in accordance with state programs of specialized education. The exam is also taken there.
The following will provide information on what category of rights can be obtained from a certain age:
- “A” I subcategory - from 16 years old.
- “B”, “C”, “E”, “F” - from 17 years old.
- "D" - from 18 years of age.
- “A” subcategories II and III - from 19 years of age.
- “A” subcategory IV - from 22 years of age.
Tractor licenses are issued strictly at the driver’s place of residence or at the place of study. This is their main difference from a standard driver’s license to drive a car, which can be obtained in absolutely any Russian region.
If for some reason the tractor driver’s license is confiscated (after a court decision is made, they must be submitted to Gostekhnadzor), they can be returned only after passing the exam again (for the theoretical part). But this can only be done after at least half of the period of deprivation of the certificate has expired. When withdrawing your license for driving while intoxicated, you must provide a medical certificate. It is needed for Gostekhnadzor to allow the offender to re-train.
