Vitaly Efimov, a member of the State Duma Committee on Transport and Chairman of the Union of Transport Workers of Russia, suggested that drivers be allowed to take a taxi for a forgotten driver’s license. This was reported by “lenta.ru”.
According to Efimov, if the bill abolishing penalties imposed on drivers for forgotten driver’s licenses and vehicle registration certificates (VRC) is adopted, drivers will leave their documents at home.
“Leave the car, take a taxi, get your license and move on. This will be a fine. There is no such possibility anymore, we now have to issue fines as if we had violated the speed limit. I don’t agree with that, because it happens, everyone forgets something and comes back,” Efimov shared.
A driver who does not have a driver’s license and vehicle registration certificate is fined 500 rubles. In addition, in the absence of STS, the inspector has the right to remove the driver from driving and send the vehicle to the impound lot.
