Under the proposed changes, a driver’s medical certificate will not be required to pass traffic police exams.
You still have to pass the medical examination, but the traffic police receive electronic information about the health of the citizens from the Ministry of Health. In addition, this study will not be the only source of information about driver health.
For example, if he has a serious deterioration of his health during a medical examination or medical examination and this is a medical contraindication to drive, or if a previously issued medical certificate has been withdrawn and he has not come for a second assignment, the statement will be considered invalid.
Other innovations
For example, if a candidate driver fails one of the exams on the third attempt, he will be given the next opportunity no earlier than six months later (now re-examination is allowed after one month), but no later than nine months later (now three months ). For example, the Ministry of the Interior wants to relieve the exam units, which is extra work created by poorly trained cadets from driving schools during numerous resits.
The list of grounds for suspension of the exam and the granting of privileges has been updated. These grounds included: the expiration of a passport or other identity document, as well as a medical report, etc.
The document also states that every time the examiner touches the double pedals, a light comes on and a sound is heard: everything is recorded on video and audio. Thus, cases where the instructor “helps” the student to pass the exam using double pedals are excluded. Now, despite the video recording in the cabin, it is not possible to check this.
The changes also tighten the regime for the exchange of foreign rights for Russians: visiting truck and bus drivers will have to submit a document to the traffic police confirming the training and passing an exam at our driving school.
