Limited number of attempts:
The freebie is over. There will be no more endless going to the exam for free rides. The current regulations define three attempts to pass. This applies to both theory and practice. The problem lies in the fact that if one thing is not done, the entire certification is delayed. For example, having successfully passed the theory and failed one of the types of courts in practice, at the last attempt, the entire certification is determined as incomplete.…And it really hurts.
Sadness is trouble!
On the other hand, it is a good motivator for better preparation. A skill turned into a skill will pay off.
Inability to opt out of a category:
According to the text of the regulations, there is no special mention of the prohibition or the possibility of abandoning one of the declared categories. Previously, this was also not specified separately, but the manual format of working with the application and the certificate allowed for this possibility.
The maneuver was used to obtain a certificate if there was a part of theory or practice that had not been completed. Let's say, well, it doesn't work out to hand over the jet ski, then I forgot to put on my vest, then I sat down wrong, then I overdid the approach. And because of him, such a bastard, it is not possible to get a certificate for a motorboat, and the deadlines are already pressing and I want to get on the water sooner...! And now you realize that you don't really need him, and you can do just fine without him. Upon arrival at the inspection, it was necessary to inform the inspector about this, and the uncorroborated category disappeared from the examination card with the signature of an authorized person, and the desired certificate was obtained within the prescribed time. The issue has been resolved.
We do not yet know whether it will be possible to abandon one unreleased category in order to obtain a certificate for successfully passed ones. Will the electronic certification system allow this “trick with ears”?
