Question about possible amnesty relevant for many drivers who for a long time do not have the right to drive a car.

What it is

According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, amnesty is a special measure that is applied to persons who commit an administrative or criminal offense.

Its purpose is partial or complete relief from the designated punishment. Also, amnesty means replacing punishment with a less severe one.

Do not confuse the concepts of "amnesty" and "pardon". In the first case, the forgiveness of a certain group of persons who have committed the same punishment is meant.

For example, they drove a car while intoxicated. A pardon refers to the mitigation of punishment for a specific person.

Most often, persons fall under the amnesty:

  • mothers with minor children;
  • minors;
  • persons who took an active part in hostilities;
  • disabled people and persons with fatal diseases;
  • drivers whose violations are considered to be of moderate or light severity;
  • persons who have reached a certain age;
  • persons requiring special care for health reasons, etc.

The amnesty can be timed to coincide with a certain holiday or be appointed when a new one comes out. legislative act... For example, the last amnesty for drivers was held in honor of the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory.

Until this year, this measure has not been applied. The amnesty applies mainly to persons in custody and is carried out with the aim of unloading prisons.

The bill pending in the State Duma suggests that drivers should be granted amnesty if several conditions are met:

  • half of the term indicated by the court has passed;
  • the driver has not committed any other offenses in the past period;
  • the driver is ready to provide a positive testimonial from the employer or from the place of study;
  • the driver is ready to receive a medical certificate indicating the ability to drive vehicle without Borders;
  • paid for everything.

But while the introduction of the bill remains in doubt. And if it is adopted, then drivers from certain categories will be able to get under the amnesty:

  • the reason for the deprivation of rights was not drunk driving;
  • offense for which there was deprivation driving license does not imply the infliction of serious harm to the health of third parties or resulting in the death of people;
  • the offense was one-off.

The amnesty may apply to drivers who have been accused of abandonment accident locations... At the same time, there is no intentional action and harm to human health.

For example, a driver inadvertently hit someone else's car in the parking lot near the house and drove away without noticing the incident.

It is not yet known whether a legislative act on amnesty will be adopted. Perhaps next year, drivers will be able to return their rights ahead of schedule.

So far, the innovation has many opponents, including among the traffic police. They believe that the amnesty is unfair for those drivers who paid the fines on time and waited until the end of their sentence.

It should be noted that the amnesty after appointment may lose its validity if the driver commits a similar offense. In this case, the driver's license will be confiscated before the end of the period specified in the court decision.

Plus, a few more months or years will be added to it for a new offense. Repeated traffic violation not only entails another responsibility, but also deprives the possibility of amnesty in the future.

How is the procedure

The amnesty applies only to groups of persons who have committed administrative offense... This means that in case of criminal liability, this measure cannot be applied.

Persons are not subject to amnesty:

  • committed grave violations resulting in the death of people;
  • violating the established regime of serving the sentence;
  • committed offenses repeatedly.

The amnesty has a certain period of validity. It can be from 3 to 12 months.

If the driver gets half of the prescribed period of punishment during this period, then he will be able to count on the premature return of the license.

The possibility of applying an amnesty to a specific person is determined by several bodies:

  • by the court;
  • the prosecutor's office;
  • by the investigating authorities.

The listed bodies must act within the framework of the law and on the basis of the received document. It contains a detailed list of persons subject to amnesty.

The measure can be applied at any stage of the investigation, but only after a decision has been made to initiate an administrative case. The case may not be brought to court if the person falls under the amnesty.

This rule applies provided that there is no requirement in the legislative act to release from liability drivers who have passed half of the sentence. In this case, amnesty is possible only after the expiration of ½ of the designated punishment.

After the entry into force of a legislative act with a certain group of people subject to amnesty, resolutions are drawn up.

They are issued to drivers who are subject to the adopted measure. With this decree, a person can apply to the traffic police for restoration driving license.

What is the amnesty for the disenfranchised alcoholic intoxication and whether it is possible to reduce the sentence after the amnesty and how to obtain rights in this situation, read on.

Driving motor transport in a state of alcoholic (drug) intoxication is a rather significant offense, the punishment for which is deprivation of rights.

The term of deprivation is determined the judiciary after consideration of materials on administrative or criminal (caused grievous harm health of citizens or death) violation.

What does the term mean

Amnesty is a certain measure that allows certain categories of persons convicted for certain offenses to be completely or in part released from the punishment imposed by the court.

Amnesty can grant exemption:

  • from penalties for criminal offenses;
  • from penalties for administrative offenses, including the deprivation of rights for driving motor vehicles in a state of intoxication.

The amnesty is aimed at implementing the principle of humanism in relation to convicted categories of citizens. In most cases, amnesty in Russia is associated with certain events.

It can be a holiday (for example, the 2006 amnesty is timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the State Duma of Russia) or significant change the political (economic) situation in the state (for example, the 1994 amnesty aimed at releasing persons convicted of economic and some types of political crimes during a coup d'etat in the country).

Decision maker

The decision to hold an amnesty in the Russian Federation is made by the State Duma (Article 103 of the Constitution) in the form of a Resolution, and the rules of law for of this document substantiated in.

After the adoption of the main act (decision on the amnesty), the following are additionally developed:

  • the procedure for applying the laws established by the Resolution;
  • a list of persons in respect of whom this right can be exercised;
  • explanations about the application of certain provisions of the document.

The possibility of applying an amnesty to a specific person may be determined by:

  • the authorities that conducted the preliminary investigation of the offense;
  • the prosecutor's office of the district (city, region);
  • court (only in disputable situations).

The punishment in the form of deprivation of a driver's license in the Russian Federation is imposed by the judicial authorities after preliminary investigation carried out by:

  • traffic police officers, if the committed offense does not fall within the competence of criminal law, that is, in the absence of victims who have suffered serious harm to health or death;
  • The Ministry of Internal Affairs, if as a result of drunk driving, people have suffered or died.

Based on these rules, it can be established that the decision on the possibility of applying amnesty to a specific convict for the use of alcoholic beverages / narcotic drugs before or during exploitation road transport is determined by:

Once a decision has been taken to amnesty an individual, the following measures can be taken:

  • complete exemption from administrative responsibility, that is, the return of rights. This decision, as a rule, applies to persons convicted of drunkenness for the first time while driving;
  • exemption from further punishment. Applies to persons whose sentence has expired by more than half;
  • reduction of the time period set by the court when making a decision;
  • replacement of punishment in the form of deprivation of the right to a fine;
  • exemption from a punishment imposed by the court as an additional one, for example, the return of the opportunity to engage in a certain type of activity after the imposed restriction.

For whom amnesty is announced after deprivation of rights for alcohol intoxication

The list of persons subject to amnesty is established by an additional legislative act.

It may include:

  • persons convicted for the first time;
  • violators who are not malicious;
  • women with minor children;
  • minors and so on.

During the last amnesty (2017), it was possible to return the rights to persons who fully meet the following criteria:

  • the basis for punishment is drunk driving;
  • the administrative offense did not entail an accident, as a result of which people were killed or injured, that is, the punishment for the offender was established in accordance with the norms of administrative law;
  • at the time of the decision on amnesty, more than half of the sentence imposed by the court had expired;
  • the convicted person has no arrears in payment of fines imposed by the State Traffic Inspectorate for other types of offenses;
  • the convict has exemplary behavior (this rule can be interpreted by the bodies making decisions on amnesty independently).

Thus, under the amnesty, persons convicted of gross violations of the rules established by law (for example, leaving the scene of an accident in the presence of victims) cannot be released.

The document applies exclusively to the categories of violators whose acts are not classified as gross (serious, violations with grave consequences, and so on).

What actions to take

If a decision on amnesty has been made against a certain person, then in order to return the driver's license, you must contact the relevant authorities and provide a package of documents specified by law.

The documents

What documents will you need to collect? To obtain rights after deprivation, you must:

  • civil passport, as the main document, which confirms the identity of a certain person;
  • a protocol on an administrative offense and a court decision, as documents on the basis of which a person was brought to justice and punished in the form of deprivation of rights. Only originals of these documents are provided to law enforcement agencies;

If for any reason the originals are lost, then you must first apply to the court for a certified copy and the traffic police department to receive a certified copy of the decree.

  • a document that was issued at the traffic police department after the delivery of the rights for safekeeping. The period of deprivation of rights begins to be calculated after the driver has handed over the document to the appropriate department of the traffic police. When surrendering the driver's license, the driver must draw up a written application in which to indicate the full name, passport and driver's license details, the reason for the delivery of the document, the date of the operation;
  • a certificate confirming the passage of a medical examination. According to the current legislation, the document is issued in specialized medical institutions licensed after being examined by specialists, including a narcologist and a psychiatrist. The document is valid for 2 years (in some cases, for example, due to age restrictions, the term can be reduced to 1 year);

The passage of the medical commission is paid. The cost varies depending on the chosen organization. To pass you will need a passport, military ID and personal photos of 3 x 4 size.

  • examination card with a mark on the passing of the theoretical part of the exam. The main requirement for issuing a driver's license after a penalty of deprivation of a document is re-surrender theoretical exam, which takes place in the traffic police. During the exam, you must answer 20 questions of 1 ticket selected by the computer.

The exam is considered successful if there are no more than 2 errors in the ticket and the correct answers are given to 10 additional questions (5 questions for each error).

The specified list of documents is mandatory in any situation. However, at the request of the employee law enforcement this list can be supplemented by other documents.

Where to serve

The issuance of a driver's license after deprivation, including under an amnesty, is handled by the examination department of the State Traffic Inspectorate at the driver's place of residence, that is, the department to which the document was handed over after the court decision.

Return procedure

The procedure for obtaining rights after deprivation, and both after the expiration of the period prescribed for the violation, and under the amnesty, is quite lengthy and can be carried out within 1 - 2 days.

To return a driver's license, you must:

  1. Pass in advance medical commission in any institution that has a license and receive a medical certificate on admission to driving motor vehicles.
  2. Submit a written application for the return of rights to the traffic police department. It is more expedient to submit the document 20 - 30 days before the expiration of the appointed period. Only in this situation will it be possible to receive the document on the set date. The application must indicate:
    • the name of the department to which the document is submitted;
    • Full name, date, place of birth, address of residence of the applicant;
    • passport data and data of the previously handed over driver's license (number, series, date of issue);
    • a list of documents attached to the application (copy of the passport, application for delivery, medical certificate).
  3. After considering the application and checking the accuracy of the information specified in the document, the driver will be assigned a date for passing the theoretical exam.
  4. If the exam was not passed the first time, then a second exam is possible only after 7 days.
  5. During the period of passing the examination, it is necessary to pay all traffic fines (if there is such a debt), since the presence of at least one unpaid fine will be an obstacle to obtaining the document.
  6. After passing the exam and providing all the documents, the date of receiving the certificate will be assigned. Obtaining a driver's license is carried out exclusively with the personal presence of the driver. In accordance with the regulations, this procedure takes 30-40 minutes.

Some citizens have a negative attitude to the conduct of any amnesties, including the return of rights after being deprived of driving while intoxicated.

According to statistics, after the 2017 amnesty, the number of drivers caught by traffic police while drunk and accidents involving "drunken" drivers increased depending on the population in Russian cities within the range of 25% - 46%.

Video: Return of rights for driving a vehicle while intoxicated

A rare car owner manages to avoid being brought to administrative responsibility for violation of traffic rules. In the most serious cases, the penalty is deprivation of rights. It is extremely difficult to challenge the court ruling, and the term of punishment is calculated in years. Therefore, an amnesty for deprivation of rights can be an effective option for exemption from liability.

Who needs an amnesty to disenfranchise for drunkenness

Deprivation of rights for alcohol intoxication or other traffic violations occurs on the basis of court order for administrative proceedings. Please note that the repeated driving under the influence of alcohol may threaten and criminal liability... The procedural materials of the administrative case come to the court from the traffic police, must include an act of examination for the state of intoxication.

In order for the driver to pass the examination, the traffic police officer must establish objective signs of drunkenness. According to the norms Administrative Regulations Ministry of Internal Affairs such features include:

  • the smell of alcohol, which is established when communicating with the car owner;
  • a characteristic change in the skin of the face (usually redness);
  • unsteady gait, uncoordinated movements, unnatural posture, etc.;
  • inappropriate behavior of the car owner, which does not correspond to normal rules;
  • violation of speech functions, etc.

Note! The establishment of these signs when checking documents or a vehicle depends on the subjective perception of the traffic police officer. For this reason, in almost every case, signs can be established that make it possible to require a certification.

The punishment imposed by the court cannot be reduced or canceled even in the case of exemplary behavior of the offender. Moreover, in order to return the driver's license form back, the citizen will have to take it to general grounds the theoretical part of the exam on knowledge of traffic rules, receive a new medical certificate

Will there be an amnesty for deprivation

Amnesty is a legal way to release from liability or early termination of punishment. An amnesty for those who have been deprived of their driver's license can only be granted on the basis of a regulation The State Duma RF. As a rule, it is timed to coincide with certain significant events - anniversaries and anniversaries of important state dates, national holidays, etc.

Amnesty for deprivation of rights, as well as for other types of administrative or criminal sanctions, can be carried out in the following areas:

  • release from prosecution according to the norms of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation or the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation until the actual imposition of punishment (in this case, officials or courts issue a resolution to terminate the case in connection with the amnesty);
  • release from a sentence imposed by the court, including on the condition that the term of the sanction has already been partially served.

Note! An amnesty for those deprived of their rights can only be applied with the consent of the perpetrators themselves. If a citizen does not plead guilty, he uses everything legal ways challenging the punishment, he has the right to refuse to apply the amnesty.

It should also be taken into account that amnesty cannot be of an individual nature, i.e. its effect will not apply to specific citizens or officials... always contains the categories of persons to whom the specified benefit applies, or a list of conditions under which the right to exemption from punishment arises.

You can find out about the upcoming amnesty from messages in the media, or on the official resources of the State Duma of the Russian Federation. Before consideration, each normative and by-law act goes through a long stage of project registration, its coordination with specialized committees.

How likely is the amnesty act for those deprived of their driver's license to be issued in 2019? As of the beginning of the year, the State Duma of the Russian Federation did not register a single draft resolution on amnesty for those deprived of their rights. Also, there were no similar initiatives during the calendar year.

This state of affairs does not mean that the amnesty acts cannot appear before the end of the year, or at the beginning of the next calendar period. Nevertheless, the amnesty for deprivation of rights for drunkenness is practically excluded, so the legislator annually only toughens the sanctions for this violation of traffic rules. Such drivers will have to comply with the temporary ban on driving a vehicle until the expiration of the sentence.

For driving in a state of intoxication, a fine is provided and.

But the legislation provides for such a concept as "amnesty", which means early completion of punishment. But does it apply to those who have lost their license for driving while intoxicated?

What it is

Amnesty is an official release from punishment, foreseen by the court for the committed offense. This applies, as a rule, to persons who are serving time in prison.

But also amnesty can be in case of deprivation of a driver's license, which implies an early return of the license.

The amnesty does not apply to a specific person, but to a group of persons who have committed the same crime. In this case, driving while intoxicated is considered.

In simple words, with an amnesty, a driver's license is returned to everyone who was caught driving drunk, subject to certain conditions.

The aim of the amnesty is to reduce social tensions between motorists and raise the awareness of drivers.

Rights are returned ahead of schedule only on condition of exemplary behavior and the absence of other violations, which is also an excellent motivation for citizens.

The government also pursues its own goals when the amnesty is introduced. It consists in the partial release of prisons.

This does not apply to deprivation of rights, but since for a secondary violation in the form of drunk driving, the driver faces criminal liability and imprisonment, forgiveness from government agencies is possible.

Who makes the decision to cancel

Making a decision on the introduction of an amnesty is the prerogative of the Government of the Russian Federation. Every year, the deputies discuss with the head of the country the feasibility of amnesty for offenders. However, the possibility of early lifting of liability does not appear every year.

As a rule, an amnesty is timed to coincide with a specific date. So, the last time many violators of the law were released early early in 2015, when there was an anniversary date since the victory in the Great Patriotic War (70 years). It was the celebration of such a great event that served as the basis for the amnesty.

There are no plans to grant amnesty to offenders in 2020. It is not yet known when exactly the Decree on the early termination of punishment will be created. It was planned to carry out the procedure in 2017, but the proposal was rejected by the President of the Russian Federation.

For whom is it possible

And now about the most important thing. In the entire history of the country, there has been no amnesty for the return of a driver's license. The MPs have repeatedly made proposals to amend the legislation of the country, but so far the initiatives have been rejected.

However, there is a possibility that it will still be possible to return the rights under the amnesty in a few years.

If an amnesty takes place, it will apply to those citizens who meet a number of conditions:

  1. Half of the sentence has passed. And this is the main condition that applies to all offenders. If less than half of the sentence has passed since the date of the court ruling, then you will not be able to count on amnesty.
  2. A positive characteristic of the offender. In order to return the rights ahead of schedule, you will need to provide a testimonial from the place of work. It should be borne in mind that the unemployed, like parasites, are not entitled to amnesty. The offender must be officially employed and have exemplary behavior. That is, not to be registered with the police, not to have problems with the law.
  3. The violation did not result in the death of people. If an administrative offense has become a criminal offense, then one should not expect concessions from the state. As a rule, the amnesty applies to minor violations (for example, after colliding with a road sign).
  4. All fines paid. If there are open fines and, moreover, delays, the rights will not be returned ahead of schedule.
  5. The violation is not related to alcohol intoxication. V last years legislation has tightened in relation to drunk drivers. Therefore, the amnesty will not apply to this violation.

It turns out that if the license was revoked for drunk driving, then the amnesty will not help to return the license ahead of schedule.

What you need to do to get your driver's license back under amnesty

Early refund of drunk driving license is not possible. But the offender can count on a pardon. This is a reduction in the sentence provided for a specific person.

They can count on it:

  • pregnant women;
  • persons whose professional activity associated with vehicle control;
  • disabled people;
  • citizens with various awards and helping the community.

You can count on a pardon provided that there is no repeated violation under a similar article, the driver is positively characterized at work or school.

It should be borne in mind that amnesty and pardon do not release the driver from the claims of the victims c.

Pay material and moral compensation will have to be in full. Also, the culprit is not exempted from liability for paying fines.

Thanks to a pardon, the term provided for as a punishment can be shortened. It is believed that it is possible to return the rights at the stage of the proceedings in court, but on condition that the process has been delayed and the driver's rights have already been confiscated.

In other cases, you will have to wait at least half of the elapsed time to count on an amnesty.

What documents need to be collected

To return the rights after their deprivation, you will need to prepare a package of documents, which includes:

  • passport;
  • court statement;
  • characteristics from the place of work or study;
  • certificate of social privileges (for example, that the driver is recognized as a father of many children);
  • a certificate confirming the transfer of rights to the traffic police (confiscation);
  • certificate of the passed medical examination and no restrictions on driving;
  • a document confirming the passing of the theoretical exam in.

It is advisable to attach a certificate stating that there are no outstanding fines. If the payment was made recently, then you need to have a receipt with you.

Where to contact

Documents for early return of rights are considered by the territorial department of the traffic police. This is where you should apply if the legislation provides for the possibility of amnesty for those deprived of their rights.

Also, the offender can go to court if the traffic police do not accept documents. When drawing up a claim, you must refer to the amnesty provided for this type of violation.

It should be borne in mind that the amnesty lasts for a certain period. As a rule, this period is 6 months. But the exact length of time is indicated in the document, which is issued together with the Resolution.

During this period, the driver has the right to apply to the traffic police with a statement about early return certificates due to amnesty.

If the driver plans to return the license not under an amnesty, but as a pardon, then you need to go to court immediately. Only in judicial procedure questions about the possible early termination of punishment are being resolved.

Return procedure

It is difficult to return the rights ahead of schedule, but it is possible. And if we are talking about amnesty, then the whole process takes place in several stages:

  1. Preparation of documents according to the list above. Medical certificate or medical book necessarily. Separately, you may need a certificate from a narcologist that the driver is not registered. Detailed information about the package of documents can be obtained at the territorial department of the traffic police.
  2. Contacting the traffic police. You need to be prepared for the fact that many drivers wish to return their rights under the amnesty. Therefore, it is worth making an appointment in advance through the State Services or on the website of the State Traffic Inspectorate.
  3. To write an application. A sample will be provided for drivers, according to which they will need to draw up a statement strictly without errors.
  4. Transfer documents and wait for a decision. If the decision is positive, then they will be given a certificate indicating the early termination of the punishment. Together with her, the rights will be returned.

How things will be in practice is still unknown. But in the event that a relevant resolution is adopted, the procedure for the return of rights will also be determined.

How else can you return the rights ahead of schedule?

Of course, waiting for an amnesty for a long time in most cases is futile for many. And if there is an irresistible desire to return the rights ahead of schedule, then you can act differently - find a reason why the certificate will return to the owner.

It is quite difficult to do this on your own, it is worth contacting experienced lawyer who can find a loophole in the law and win the case.

The return of rights is possible for several reasons:

  1. The examination for the state of intoxication was carried out incorrectly. For example, there were no attesting witnesses and no video recording. Other violations of the procedure are possible, which can be found out after a detailed study of June 26, 2008, which describes in detail the rules for conducting a survey.
  2. The protocol was drawn up with errors. Just one typo is enough to appeal against a court decision. You may have to go to higher authorities, file appeals... But with a meticulous approach and serious mistakes in the documentation, a positive result is almost guaranteed.
  3. There are extenuating circumstances... For example, the driver was forced to drive in order to transport a person to the hospital. Or alcohol was discovered after taking an alcohol-based medication. Of course, it is not always possible to completely abolish the punishment, but it is quite possible to reduce the term.
  4. The driver has positive characteristics, has committed an offense for the first time and needs a car. This applies to poor fathers and families with many children. It is also possible to return the rights ahead of schedule, provided that the offender works as a driver and is the only breadwinner in the family.

If there is at least one of the listed reasons, then it is possible to return the rights ahead of schedule only through the courts. But without the help of a lawyer, it will be very difficult to cope.

In Russia, unfortunately, driving while intoxicated is not something extraordinary. Many motorists allow driving immediately after drinking. However, not many of them are aware that such an offense can lead to deprivation of rights even if residual alcohol is found. Even drinking a minimal amount of alcohol the night before will result in blood alcohol levels exceeding the legal limit the next morning. Does the law provide for amnesty for those deprived of their rights for drinking? What categories of persons and under what conditions can fall under the amnesty for drunk driving? We will answer these questions in this article.

Who can get amnesty?

Drivers who lost their license due to such a violation are often asked about the amnesty today. Moreover, the State Duma deputies have been preparing a corresponding bill for a long time. Until then, in accordance with current law only those drivers can count on amnesty for deprivation of a / c, in whose blood during the arrest by the traffic police inspector the alcohol content did not exceed 0.2 mg / l. It is worth noting that this rule is not applicable to motorists who have psychotropic or narcotic substances in their blood.

There are other loopholes in the legislation of the Russian Federation for the return of rights under the amnesty. In particular, the driver's license can be returned if errors are detected when filling out the protocol. Lack of understood ones can be such mistakes; absence of names and signatures in the protocol; registration of attesting witnesses backdating; lack of a license from the medical institution that conducted the examination. The reason for parole may also be the presentation of force majeure. For example, a charge could be challenged if a driver was prescribed by a doctor to take drugs containing opiates that he did not know about. Even if the driver has the opportunity to receive a parole according to the above criteria, he will not be able to return his license if he does not meet the following conditions of the amnesty:

  • There are no injured pedestrians and others road accident participants;
  • Half of the sentence has expired;
  • There are no outstanding fines in the traffic police;
  • There is exemplary behavior (this concept is rather vague, since there is no such interpretation in the legislation).

In order to get his driver's license back, the motorist must appeal against the appointment administrative punishment... In his application, the driver must indicate that amnesty is the basis for returning the vehicle. The driver's license can be returned in a more affordable way. It is enough to write a statement to the traffic police indicating the publication of the amnesty act. In general, the procedure for returning a / u on parole is not clearly indicated anywhere. Most often, the driver's license is returned in accordance with article 31.7 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation.

What documents are required?

The process of returning a driver's license for parole requires a motorist to present a sufficiently large package of documents. In particular, the driver must provide a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, the original of the court decision, which indicates which legal norms were violated, a certificate confirming the passage of a medical examination, an extract confirming the delivery of a driver's license to the traffic police, and a document confirming the successful retake of the knowledge exam current traffic rules... This package of documents may not be final. The traffic police may also require other documents that are important for satisfying the driver's application for a return to / from on parole. Drivers who are lucky to return their rights on parole should contact the traffic police department at the place of their registration. This is where their driver's license should be kept.

By the way, drivers planning to return their rights on parole should know that they cannot avoid having to pass a repeated theoretical exam. According to the current legislation, the motorist has the right to pass theoretical exam after half of the sentence has expired. It is also worth noting that today a bill is under development, which plans to introduce the obligation to pass a practical exam in case of deprivation of rights for a period of more than a year.
