No Sad Rides Allowed: List of Medical Contraindications for Driving to Be Updated Starting September 1

The initiative may lead to problems for certain groups of drivers

From September 1, Russia will tighten the procedure for obtaining driver's licenses for people with diseases that affect interaction with the outside world, such as Rett syndrome or autism. This is expected to improve overall road safety by preventing people whose driving safety is questionable due to their diagnosis from driving.

Lawyer Konstantin Erokhin holds less positive views on this issue, believing that the changes may lead to negative consequences for drivers.

Especially considering that doctors depend on the department of health and officials, both departmental and federal.
