As Kommersant reports, the main innovation will be the expansion of the so-called corridor of penalty points that a test subject can obtain during the tests. Let us remind you that today in the “urban” part of the exam the limit is five penalty points, but the Ministry of the Interior proposes to increase it to seven. “Taking into account the analysis of the results of practical exams since the entry into force of the current regulations (from March 1, 2021), the project softens the requirements for candidates,” the ministry explains.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs also plans to allow representatives of driving schools to sit on the passenger seat behind the double pedals during the exam – today this place is occupied by a traffic police officer, which causes complaints from educational organizations. Finally, a rule will come into effect banning those who evade military service from receiving “entitlements”, and the procedure for exchanging foreign military IDs will also be clarified – foreigners will be eligible to receive a Russian passport within one year of receiving a Russian passport or residence permit must obtain a Russian ID permit.
