Salaspils is a densely populated town directly on the Riga city boundary, part of Salaspils municipality. It is one of the largest satellite towns of Riga, with well-developed infrastructure and organised public transport, but also significant demand for personal vehicles — as a large proportion of residents work in Riga.
Driver training is well accessible in Salaspils — several Riga schools provide instructors directly here, and the municipality also has its own school. Students from Salaspils often have the choice between one of the large school chains and a smaller, locally focused option.
The driving environment in Salaspils is typical of a major city suburb — active traffic on the Riga–Daugavpils highway, buses, pedestrians, cyclists and the streets of new residential developments. This is a strong foundation for preparing students for the CSDD examination in Riga, where conditions are even more intense.
Theory in Salaspils is most commonly studied via e-learning platforms or in person at one of the Riga office branches. The CSDD examination takes place in Riga.
