Kyiv. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – September 26, 2021 – Economy
According to the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this is due to the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of September 22. They said that the driver’s license will indicate the mark of passing the practical test on a vehicle with an automatic transmission in the form of code “78” in column 12 of the license. Holders of licenses with such a mark will be able to drive only cars with automatic transmission, and in its absence – with any. Those drivers who received the rights earlier will not feel the change.
In addition, the validity of the result of a successfully passed theoretical exam at the service center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was extended. It used to be three months, now it is two years. “But no longer than the validity of the certificate of completion of the institution for the training of drivers of vehicles,” – said the Interior Ministry.
Drivers were also exempted from the obligation to provide documents proving driving skills when opening a lower category or category with a trailer.
The form of displaying driving restrictions on the driver’s license will also change. Now they will be marked in the form of codes – as in the European Union, and not icons, as before.
The codes will display:
medical reasons for restrictions (glasses, hearing aids, limb prostheses, etc.);
vehicle adaptation (modified transmission, adapted clutch pedal, modified brake systems, etc.);
driving only during the day, only without passengers, within the city/region, etc.
The changes will also affect the procedures for taking exams. Now, in case of simultaneous opening of two categories, the exams (exam) are made according to the higher of them (except for categories B1, B, BE):
when opening categories C and C1, theoretical and practical exams are taken only in category C;
when returning a driver’s license after deprivation of the right to drive, in the case of several open categories, theoretical and practical exams are also taken in the highest category.
“All innovations will be introduced immediately after the promulgation of the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, except for the innovation concerning the indication of the mark on the automatic transmission in the driver’s license, which will be implemented within three months,” the Interior Ministry said.
Earlier in the Ministry of Internal Affairs explained to drivers what to do if in “Action” the certificate isn’t visible.
