These are Anastasia Akhramovich, a music and dance teacher at the gymnasium, Oksana Sharamet, head of the children's hospital's facilities, and Yuliana Khotko, a waitress at the "Zhemchuzhina" Children's Rehabilitation and Health Centre.

The competitions were held in two stages. The first stage was theoretical, covering traffic rules. The second stage was practical: bridge, clearance circle, yard, slalom, parking the car in a box backwards and sideways. Results were summarised after each stage.

Dmitry Solovyov, a master of vocational training and mechanical vehicle operation at DOSAAF, rightfully won prizes for first place in both stages. Although Sergey Sidorok, a software engineer at the district postal communication hub, came third in the traffic rules test and the obstacle course, he took second place in the overall competition. Mikhail Bumaga, a driver at PMK-75, completed the top three winners.
