The number of permissible penalty points on the practical exam will be increased to seven. A ban on taking the exam will begin to apply for people deprived of a driver’s license.

Maxim Kadakov, editor-in-chief of the magazine “Behind the Wheel” called it “the right move” to increase the number of acceptable errors. The new regulations for passing the driver's license exam will come into force on April 1 next year. The auto expert said that any relaxation can be compensated by the strictness of the examination.
