"As practice shows, these exercises (on the" platform ". - RT ) only imitate the feeling of driving a vehicle in real traffic," - said on the website of the Cabinet.
In this regard, from October 1, 2020, the “platform” will be canceled, and a practical exam in traffic conditions will be supplemented by a check of the basic skills previously tested at this stage.
In this case, exceptions to the admission to driving a poorly trained candidate and to ensure safety, the initial transport management skills will be tested at the beginning of a practical exam before traveling on the road in closed areas, racetracks, paved areas restricted for pedestrians and other vehicles, on sections of roads with low intensity traffic and dead ends.
On December 3, the traffic police reported that in 2020 they plan to exclude the passing of exams for rights in closed areas for categories B, C and D.
The State Duma noted that the "site" does not matter as much as the real situation on the roads.
According to the deputy head of the traffic police Oleg Ponaryin, the stage "site" when passing the exam for a driver’s license duplicates the exam in a driving school, and also spends a lot of time for the traffic police to leave it impractical.
The head of the Guild of driving schools in Russia, Sergey Lobarev, in an interview with the NSN, praised the initiative to cancel the "site" in the traffic police exam for a driver’s license.
