Most of the citizens last year received a driver's license in the Moscow region (111.4 thousand), in Moscow (79.9 thousand), in the Krasnodar Territory (50.4 thousand), in St. Petersburg (49.2 thousand .) and in Bashkortostan (44.1 thousand).

Least of all drivers got licenses in Chukotka (157), in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug (499), in Ingushetia (1.2 thousand), in Tuva (1.3 thousand) and in the Jewish Autonomous Oblast (1.6 thousand).

According to car lawyer Timur Marshani, the reduction in the number of people who obtained a driver’s license may be due to the general tendency to refuse to use personal vehicles.

“It is unprofitable to maintain and use a car: fines, problems with parking, operation and so on. Therefore, many do not receive a driver’s license, considering it inappropriate. In addition, today urban transport and city infrastructure are functioning much more efficiently. This affects people's desire to use public transport, ”he explained in an interview with RT.

Earlier, the Ministry of Internal Affairs told RT about the most common mistakes that they make while passing the exam for rights. So, during the delivery of the “site”, candidates most often fail to cope with a flyover, parallel parking and back-gear boxing.
