New rules for obtaining rights. New rules for obtaining a driver's license unpleasantly surprised driving schools
New, not yet effective rules for receiving driving licenses may undergo further changes. The Federation of Associations of Driving Schools sent a letter to the Ministry of Justice with claims to the regulations developed by the traffic police. The auto instructors considered the new rules to be too strict, although the draft document had previously received the approval of all interested parties. It is possible, however, that the objections of driving schools are dictated not so much by concern for customers as by the situation on the market. Last year, those wishing to gain the right to drive have noticeably decreased, which forced driving schools to reduce prices. The new rules increase the requirements for the learning process, and hence the cost of it. Lenta.ru tried to sort out the situation.
Less money - more hassle
Contrary to popular belief, prices once raised are sometimes lowered. In Russia, this happened in the field of driver training. In the capital, for example, the cost of such services, according to Last year decreased on average from 40-45 thousand to 25-30 thousand rubles.
“Earlier, people could take out a small loan and study quietly for three months, but now no one has the desire to spend money on education,” Andrey Nikolaev, head of the board of directors of regional driving schools, briefly explained the state of affairs. In the regions, for example, in Chelyabinsk, according to him, prices have fallen on average from 30,000 to 18,000 rubles.
Boris Baghdasaryan, general director of the capital's college number 21, has not reduced prices yet, but complains about competitors who complain about the crisis and dump, reducing the cost of education by reducing hours.
The number of customers has really gone down. According to the traffic police, in 2015, 1.87 million people were issued driver's licenses, which is 600,000 less than in 2014. IN current year, against the backdrop of the crisis, an increase in demand is not expected. In addition, in September, a new, stricter procedure for passing the exam at the State traffic inspectorate should come into force.
According to the new regulations, one mistake in passing the theory entails five additional questions. At the same time, all 20 theoretical questions must be answered in 30 minutes. The same amount of time is given on the site. There you will need to complete not three out of ten (as now), but five out of seventeen exercises. Among the new products - "Parking in reverse and exit from parking space” and “Stop for the safe embarkation or disembarkation of passengers”.
The well-known advice of instructors to inept students - "move like a snail" - will lose its relevance. The same "snake" will need to be overcome in a maximum of two minutes. And in order to avoid any assistance, employees of driving schools will be banned from attending exams.
Not surprisingly, these requirements have caused discontent in training organizations. As a result, driving schools will need to teach cadets cheaper, but better, to guarantee successful delivery more difficult exam. Otherwise, the reputation of the school will suffer, which will immediately affect the number of customers.
The position of the State traffic inspectorate is quite simple. The agency continues the large-scale reform of the driver training system that began back in 2013. The main task is to allow participation in road traffic only well-prepared for this people.
“The novelties of the regulation are based on international experience and are aimed at increasing the objectivity of assessing the professional qualities of a candidate for drivers,” Anton Belan, a traffic police spokesman, told Lente.ru, emphasizing that now those with whom he had already been agreed upon earlier oppose the document.
Regulations in a bag
The document, prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was sent to the Ministry of Justice for registration in the fall of 2015. Prior to this, the draft regulation was posted for discussion on the official website of the law enforcement agency and on the regulation.gov.ru resource.
“A significant number of comments and suggestions from the public, including educational organizations that train drivers of vehicles, have been taken into account,” the State traffic inspectorate assures. - A corresponding conclusion of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia has been received for the draft administrative regulation. The comments contained in this conclusion were also taken into account when finalizing the provisions of the draft.
In addition to public hearings and expert councils, practical events were also held in the department.
“They were attended by heads and instructors of driving schools, representatives of various auto and motorcycle communities, representatives of the traffic police,” said Anton Belan. - Grounds for exercises were organized in accordance with the requirements of the regulations. And the professionals tried to complete them at the specified time.
Tatyana Shutyleva, President of the Federation of Driving School Associations, agrees that the big job. However, the final version of the document, according to her, differs from the agreed one.
“The text submitted to the Ministry of Justice is not at all the same text that was discussed and finalized at the open area, - Shutyleva told Lente.ru. “In particular, there were suddenly time limits and a ban on the presence of an instructor when passing a driving test.”
The State Traffic Inspectorate replied that the limitation on timing is provided for in Appendix No. 1 to the “Rules for conducting exams for the right to drive vehicles and issuance of driving licenses”, approved by the government in October 2014. And the presence of instructors in the department was recognized as an inappropriate relic of the past, when citizens had the right to self-training and when passing the exams were not perceived as professionals.
“Behind the wheel of a car is no longer a student, but a driver candidate who has undergone appropriate professional training and has a document confirming its successful completion,” the traffic police explained. "In this regard, the presence of a driving instructor in the examination vehicle is unacceptable."
Driving schools believe that this requirement is contrary to clause 2.7 of the SDA and creates additional risks during exams. In support of their words, they collected documents about emergency situations, created during the exercises on the site, when the candidates were left alone.

However, some of the claims of the Federation of Driving Schools, expressed in a letter to the Ministry of Justice, testify to a banal misunderstanding.
In particular, questions arose regarding the plans of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to increase the period for issuing driving documents from one to 30 days. The ministry claims that this period of time is specified in the regulations as the maximum for the entire range of actions, starting with the receipt of an application for obtaining rights and ending with the issuance of a crust. According to Anton Belan, everything can be done in a few hours.
Get Your Rights Today
Tatyana Shutyleva insists that the final text of the document be agreed with the public and the association, and the traffic police refer to the rules for development and approval administrative regulations, which do not involve posting a draft document on the web after it has been finalized.
However, at present, according to Shutyleva, the department and the public have managed to find mutual language. The document is again being finalized, and now it is not clear when and in what version it will be adopted.
The only thing that is known for sure is that the rules for passing the exam will be tightened, but those who started training at a driving school under the old regulations will not be examined according to the new requirements in the traffic police.
The Federation of Associations of Driving Schools hopes that the demand for their services will remain stable. A significant reduction in clients of driving schools, according to Shutyleva, is due not so much to the deterioration of the economic situation in 2015 as to the rush demand at the end of 2014.

“They ran for driver's licenses, just like TVs,” she says. - Hence the 2.5 million, with which the indicators of 2015 were compared. Cars were registered two times less last year (a million in 2015 against 2.3 million in 2014 - approx. "Tapes.ru"), and the decrease in the flow of students in driving schools was only 22 percent.”
In other words, many Russians traditionally decided to stock up on driver's licenses for the future, fearing a rapid rise in prices for driving school services. Now the Federation hopes that price cuts and the upcoming tightening of the rules for passing the exam will lead to them those who have long dreamed of getting rights, but have not yet done so.

Since November 5, 2014 new Rules for conducting examinations for the right to drive vehicles have come into force and issuance of driver's licenses.
Now we will discuss a rather significant innovation. concerning a large number of drivers. Remember this. The information may be useful to both you and your friends.
The new rules for issuing driver's licenses cases are clearly defined when a Russian national or international driver's license is considered invalid and subject to cancellation:
A) if the driver's license has expired;
b) if the personal data contained in the driver's license has changed;
V) if the driver's license has become unusable for further use due to wear, damage or other reasons and the information indicated in it (or in its part) cannot be determined visually;
G) if the driver's license was issued on the basis of documents that were recognized as forged (forgery) in the prescribed manner or issued in violation of the procedure established by these Rules;
e) if a statement was received about the loss (theft) of a driver's license;
e) if a new driver's license has been issued;
and) if it is confirmed that the driver of the vehicle has medical contraindications or previously unidentified medical restrictions on driving.
Previously there was no such list.
Particular attention should be paid to points “a”, “b” and “c”, because under these conditions driving a vehicle is equivalent to driving without a license (part 1 of article 12.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation: a fine of 5,000 to 15,000 rubles).
item a) carefully monitor the expiration of the driver's license.
p. b) female drivers need to know that in the event of a change of surname (for example, upon marriage), a driver's license with the former surname is considered invalid and is subject to cancellation. This innovation appeared on November 5, 2014, previously the driver's license continued to be valid, but you had to carry your passport and marriage certificate with you. Now the driver's license needs to be changed.
p. c) nothing was said about the unsuitability of the driver's license. Of course, it was logical to replace such certificates. Now it is unequivocally settled that a worn-out driver's license is not valid.
Must be noted that the validity period of the certificate remains the same upon replacement (a newly issued driver's license will be valid until the same day as the previous one, and earlier a new VU was issued for a full 10 years). As before, it is not required to take exams to replace driving licenses in cases a), b), c), e), g).
There is one controversial issue!
How to be those women who changed their last name before November 5, 2014, but did not change their driver's license? Is their certificate valid, or has it become invalid since 11/05/2014?
I called two traffic police departments(I called more departments, but I managed to get through to only two), asked the question - is it necessary to change certificates in such a situation? In both departments, they told me that I needed to change the VU (driver's license).
After that, 11/11/2014, I made an official request to the GUOBDD of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for clarification of this issue. So far no response has been received. Will wait.
The thing is that I think it is not necessary to change a driver's license if the surname has changed before 11/05/2014. As you know, a normative legal act establishing new obligations does not have retroactive effect. In addition, paragraph 27 of the new "Rules for conducting examinations for the right to drive vehicles and issuing driver's licenses" says that the Russian national driver's license issued before the entry into force of the Rules is valid until the expiration of the period specified in it.
That's why those who changed their last name after November 5, 2014 must change their driver's license. But in the case of a change of surname before November 5, 2014, in my opinion, it is not necessary to change the VU. However, let's wait for an official response from the GUOBDD of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia until I insist on my point of view.
Certainly, it is possible to change other personal data of the driver contained in the driver's license. We are just talking now about the most common option.
Note. Since November 5, 2014, the old rules (Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 15, 1999 No. 1396 “On approval of the Rules for passing qualification exams and issuing driver's licenses”) have become invalid. From the same day, new rules are in effect - Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 24, 2014 No. 1097 "On admission to drive vehicles" (together with the "Rules for conducting exams for the right to drive vehicles and issuing driver's licenses").
CONTINUATION
Within the statutory period (30 days) The answer to my request from the GUOBDD of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia was not received. After a short wait, I wrote complaints to the General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation, the Government of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. A few days later I received a response to my request (indicating that this response was being sent to me again). I will not discuss this topic (about the fact that if I received an answer on time, then there would be no point in complaining), it is better to get straight to the point.
So, the answer itself.
The traffic police consider that it is necessary to change the driver's license in any case, regardless of the date of the change of surname (personal data).
Here is the answer to my query: .pdf
Still, I do not agree with the traffic police (why - I wrote above). You can only prove or disprove it in court. Therefore, in no case do I urge you not to change your driver's license. The decision is up to you, dear readers. You can try to avoid problems and replace the "rights". You can try to prove in court that the traffic police are wrong, and the driver's licenses of women who changed their names before November 5, 2014 are valid until their expiration date.
