The police rejected the idea to strengthen control over the motorists

In 2018, there were rumors that the police intends to introduce a retest for drivers that change the law. To date this initiative is being actively discussed in professional community, and periodically reminded of it, the media. Now, however, the representatives of traffic police have officially declared that to enter the re-examination is planned.

SAI just does not see legal grounds for the introduction of re-examination in the foreseeable future, the law will not change.

for the First time the idea of arranging a re-test if you replace the driver's license was presented at the fourth Congress of driving schools of Russia. The chief of traffic police of Russia Mikhail Chernikov supported this initiative. At the same time, he expressed the need for its revision. Among other things, he pointed out that the re-exam can be performed only on a voluntary basis. But what's the point?

More interesting Myl announced the head of the Union of driving schools of Moscow, Alexander Achkasov. He offered to come up with certain concessions for those drivers who agree to retake the theoretical part of the exam. In particular, they can provide a discount for buying insurance.

a Driving licence should be changed every ten years. One of the reasons for the emergence of discussions about the re-exam is the fact that traffic rules are made constant corrections, and many drivers do not watch them. In addition, for ten years, some motorists forget many of the rules. So to organize such a test is a reasonable idea.
