For the first time, the government spoke of lengthening the driver’s “crust” at the height of the coronavirus pandemic, in theory to protect people from contact with patients when visiting the MFC and traffic police. They would be better off lowering the fares for public transport, where people rub against each other like herring in a barrel. However, we are not talking about this now, but about how the authorities, under the veil of concern for the army of millions of Russian drivers, are giving them considerable difficulties.
Yes, by a decree last April, which underwent a “restyling”, the government allowed “to extend for three years the validity of Russian national driving licenses, the validity of which expires (expired) from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023 .” There is no need to make any changes to the document Well thank you That’s just that citizens who drive a car with “extended” rights may face some inconveniences and even problems with the law.
And especially since innovations apply only to motorists rolling through the territory of the Russian Federation. In other words, “extended” certificates have no legal force beyond its borders. If it’s even simpler, the “entitlements” are just considered invalid.
Not only can you not drive abroad with them, but you can also be penalized for driving without a license in accordance with the laws of the country where you managed to drive. For example, to the same Belarus or Kazakhstan. As you might guess, a “disenfranchised” driver risks being left without the money necessary to pay the fine, and without the car itself, easily sent to a special parking lot by order of the wave of the ” striped magic wand by the local police.
No less hassle will arise for those who decide to go on vacation to the “abroad”, where they dreamed of renting a car. No one will provide a car to people with expired, albeit extended “rights” in Russia. Because, in fact, he will not issue an international insurance policy. Simply put, even a relative or neighbor on foreign roads cannot categorically be driven by an “iron horse”.
Therefore, in order to avoid such difficulties, you should still not postpone the replacement of a driver’s license. Fortunately, there are no legal restrictions on updating the key driver document. In addition, after three years there will be so many people in the traffic police departments and offices of the MFC that they will not be able to serve everyone in time. As it happens now with the issuance of new foreign passports. In general, it’s too early to be happy – it’s better not to “slow down”.
