The candidate for a Category B licence may also opt for accompanied driving,
i.e. continue practical training by driving under the supervision of an accompanying person

After passing the theory test and successfully completing the practical instruction (12 one-hour lessons) at a driving school,
you continue your practical training by driving with a relative or close friend who,
drawing on their personal experience, assists you and gives you advice
to help develop your sense of responsibility.


The minimum age for applying to a driving school for this driving licence is:

- 17 years.

  • - A medical certificate (less than 3 months old);
  • - A recent passport photograph (taken from the front) in 45 × 35 mm format;
  • - A copy of your valid ID card/passport;
  • - A copy of your driving license
    (if you are a holder of another category);

With the exception of relatives up to the second degree (parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters),

The accompanied driving starts, when:

  • - You passed the theory test;
  • - You took at least 12 one-hour practical lessons at a driving school;
  • - The accompanying driver attended at least 2 practical lessons taught
    by the driving instructor with the candidate;

    accompanied by the driving instructor before you take the practical test.

If you fail the practical test, you must take at least 5 one-hour practical lessons
accompanied by the driving instructor before you restart the accompanied driving
and the next test could only be taken after you take 3 driving lessons more after the accompanied driving.
