This was reported on the website of the traffic police.

It is noted that "the key change here will be that the test of the initial driving skills in closed areas in the format of a separate exam will no longer be carried out."

The department said that the traffic police "will give an objective assessment of the readiness of future drivers to drive a vehicle exclusively in real traffic conditions."

The list of errors and violations has also changed, for which, as before, penalty points are provided.

The traffic police said that "errors and violations are divided into subgroups of one, two or three penalty points, depending on the degree of impact on traffic safety, while gross mistakes, in the commission of which the exam will end immediately, are placed in a separate block."

In addition, it will be possible for observers to be present in the car during the exam. 

Earlier it was reported that the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a draft administrative regulation on passing the exam for driving licenses and issuing driving licenses to other departments for approval.

In February, the president of the Moscow Regional Union of Driving Schools, Lev Burykin, in an interview with URA.RU, appreciated the idea of ​​teaching schoolchildren to drive.
