“I think the government believes that during this period it makes no sense for people to set any limits.

Someone is on the SVO (special military operation. -

RT

), and they also need to renew their rights, someone left somewhere, etc.

And in this case, the traffic police is also unloaded.

From the point of view of security, this will not affect in any way, but it will make life easier for government structures and, in fact, for citizens.

A wonderful initiative,” the expert said.

He noted that many call the reason for this decision "collapse with plastic or paper," but according to the expert, "this is definitely not the reason."

“Imagine how much plastic goes to a driver’s license.

And it is issued for ten years.

Every day we spend plastic in very large volumes and there is enough of it, ”Kanaev is sure.

In conclusion, the auto expert recalled that this measure would not apply to international law.

“Special international rights for employment are not included in this measure.

Because they are basically issued for three years.

And international inspections will not take into account the fact that we have extended the validity of rights in Russia.

And private traders need to remember this, that the certificates were extended on the territory of Russia.

People can now expect that they will go somewhere nearby by car, for example, to Turkey, Kazakhstan or Azerbaijan, and they think that this one will work everywhere.

No, of course it won’t work there, ”added the interlocutor of RT.

Earlier it became known that the validity of driver's licenses, which expire between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2023, was automatically extended for three years.

This was reported in the press service of the Russian government.
