Abstract

Regulatory acts regulating the “life” of drivers change regularly; a large number of changes are made to them, which are sometimes impossible to keep track of, and 2024 was no exception. On April 1, 2024, some laws came into force that will affect drivers; such innovations will be discussed in our article. One of the significant changes will affect drivers driving cars on the basis of a foreign driver’s license. That is, if the driver has foreign citizenship and does not have a residence permit in the Russian Federation, then he has the right to drive cars in our country on the basis of an international foreign driver’s license, but if such a foreign citizen acquires Russian citizenship or a residence permit, then within 1 year, he is obliged to exchange his foreign driver’s license for a Russian-style driver’s license (And in some cases, a foreign driver’s license can be replaced with a Russian-style driver’s license without passing exams). If the driver does not do this, then he will not be able to drive a car on the basis of a foreign driver’s license in our country. At the same time, these changes assume that drivers who are citizens of Belarus can obtain a Russian driver’s license without training in our country; to do this, they need to come to the MREO of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate and simply change their driving license to a Russian-style driving license. Until April 1, 2024, if a driver did not have the right to drive while intoxicated, was caught in a state of intoxication, or refused to undergo a medical examination, then such a driver was threatened with administrative arrest for up to 15 days and after that he calmly had the right to go and get a driver’s license (if Of course, he studied at a driving school and successfully passed the exams), but now such drivers will be able to obtain a driver’s license only after 1 year after the resolution comes into force. But this rule does not apply to drivers who have a driver’s license; they can obtain a driver’s license after the expiration of the period of deprivation, of course, if they successfully retake the theoretical traffic rules exam. From April 1, 2024, it will be possible to study for the right to drive cars of category “C” and subcategory “C1” “CE” and subcategory “C1E” at the age of 17 years, and a 17-year-old citizen will also be allowed to take exams and in case of After successfully passing the test, a driver will be able to obtain a driver’s license only after 18 years of age.[1]
