What you need to know about obtaining your license
Obtaining the driverâs license for one or more categories of vehicles implies, according to Romanian legislation, attending special practice and theoretical classes. The practice classes refer to the actual road driving practice, on city streets in the company of an authorized instructor while theoretical classes focus mainly on solving theoretical driving tests known as DRPCIV and studying road laws currently in practice.
Solving tests should only be attempted after having read the road law book that includes every aspect of pedestrian and vehicle behavior on public roads at least twice. Although the web is filled with driving tests claiming they are the absolute best, it is highly recommended to only use the official DRPCIV tests for practice.
The theoretical driving test particularities
The theoretical driving test has a time limit for 30 minutes and requires the future driver to solve a DRPCIV driving test on a computer.
The tests has 26 questions out of which 22 must be answered correctly in order to pass the test. After each answer, the test taker is informed weather the answer was a correct or incorrect one as well as the number of incorrect answers thus far. Once 4 mistakes are made the test stops and the test taker is considered rejected. The computer test was introduced in order to avoid any human mistakes during the grading process and ensure absolute transparency.
If the practical exam can be failed on more or less doubtful criteria, the theoretical exam cannot be contested. Passing or failing is only influenced by the test taker’s level of knowledge. Being well prepared should guarantee success invariably. Today:1
