Russia has changed the rules for conducting driver's license exams. The main thing
The Russian government has approved changes to the procedure for conducting driver's license exams. According to the new rules, the practical part must be scheduled no later than 60 days after the successful completion of the theoretical exam. Previously, it took up to six months to organize a practical test. If the candidate does not manage to pass the practical exam on time, he will need to retake the theory. In this case, a retake must be scheduled no later than 30 days after the expiration of the six-month period. All the details are in the Izvestia article.
The timing of the appointment of the exam and the procedure for the candidate's actions
Ilya Rusyaev, a lawyer and founder of the Rusyaev Club business community, told Izvestia that certain provisions of the document come into force in stages, so this period can be applied only after the relevant regulations begin to apply.
"Valid reasons for postponing the exam are not limited to a closed list. It is permissible for a candidate to confirm any circumstance that objectively prevents attendance. The illness is confirmed by medical documents, the business trip is confirmed by the employer's order, the training is confirmed by a certificate from an educational institution, summonses to court or military enlistment office are subpoenas. In case of technical failures of recording through the Gosuslugi portal, it is recommended to save screenshots and record calls to the support service," the expert explained.
What to do if the practical exam is delayed
Rusyaev explained that after 60 days have passed without a practical exam, the candidate has the right to submit a written application to the State Traffic Inspectorate unit with a request to set the exam date. Supporting documents and information about previous recording attempts should be attached to the application. In the absence of a response, it is possible to file a pre-trial complaint through higher authorities, and then appeal to the court in the order of administrative proceedings.
He also clarified that the exam results can be appealed in due course. Complaints are reviewed by the commission with the study of photo and video materials, and exam records are kept for at least one year. In case of disagreement with the result, the candidate has the right to record this when signing the examination sheet and initiate an examination.
Separately, the expert stressed that violations of the timing of the exam by themselves do not mean automatic issuance of a driver's license. The decision is made only after passing the practical part.
Assessment of changes in exam rules
Alexander Kornev, head of the Department for work with importers at Gazprombank Autoleasing, in turn, noted in an interview with Izvestia that the new rules could simplify the learning process. According to him, shortening the time between theory and practice will allow candidates to better retain knowledge and move faster to driving in real conditions.
He added that previously long breaks between exams could reduce the quality of training, and the limited duration of the theoretical exam created additional risks of retakes. At the same time, the changes, in his opinion, should not affect the cost of tuition, but may increase the overall percentage of successful exams.
"The quality of driver training always depends on the school and the students themselves, but it can be assumed that with the introduction of new rules, the number of graduates who have reached the driver's license will increase," the expert concluded.
