Russian authorities are preparing changes to the rules for taking and retaking driving exams, including potential new grounds for revoking driver’s licenses and tighter linkage between failed practical tests and theory retakes. TASS and other Russian outlets report that future drivers who fail the practical exam may be required to retake the theory exam, while parallel initiatives aim to expand the conditions under which existing licenses can be revoked. The measures indicate a regulatory push to tighten road safety controls and raise the threshold for both obtaining and keeping a driver’s license in Russia.
