  As part of the implementation of this legal act, the State Automobile Inspectorate has amended the procedure for issuing and exchanging driving licenses, as well as for conducting examinations for the right to drive a mechanical vehicle.

  Russian and Belarusian citizens applying to the traffic police departments for the exchange of licenses issued by the competent authorities of the Russian Federation will not be required to pass a theoretical examination.

  The procedure for exchanging a foreign driving license in case of its loss is simplified.

  A pre-registration system is being introduced for re-taking the practical examination for citizens who have failed it on the first or subsequent attempts. The restriction on the minimum duration of such a test in real road conditions has been removed. The duration of the test is determined solely by the completion of mandatory elements.

  To test motorcycle riding skills on a special training ground, a citizen will be allowed to make one mistake, and the examination will continue from the starting position of the uncompleted element.
