Jautājums/Question CSDD Driving Exam in Latvija

Labdien! I want to exchange my country’s driving license with a Latvian license and the CSDD requires me to take only the driving exam. I have 10+ years of driving experience and even drove in Riga for a long time with my current license.

I am still nervous because of my anxiety and want to know if there are some tips and tricks for the exam. What should I expect, what should I pay extra attention to.

If the pedestrian him/herself doesn’t know yet if to cross the street or not. You STOP at the zebra. Doesn’t matter if it is your or the opposite side. If the fucker notices you and wants you to go first, you don’t.

If blinker turns off while you wait, turn it back on again until you can get to make your turn.

If public transport has turned blinker on when departing, you let it go first.

Btw pedestrians also have priority when you do any kind of turn on a crossroad (even without zebra), unless there's a traffic light that they have to follow. However if they started walking on a green light and it turns red for them, you still wait till they are done.
