Traffic rules exam after deprivation 2021 in questions and answers

Do I need to retake the traffic rules exam after being disqualified?

Yes. This condition is mandatory for all deprived persons, regardless of the specific article under which this penalty was imposed. Even if the period of deprivation is short (at least 1 month), the traffic rules will have to be retaken. According to Part 4.1 of Article 32.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (quote below), retaking the traffic rules theory is mandatory for all disqualified persons, in contrast, for example, to obtaining a medical certificate, which is required only under the article for “drunkenness” and 2 more articles (12.8, 12.26, 12.27 of the Administrative Code, respectively ).

Thus, it is necessary for all deprived persons, without exception, to pass the traffic rules exam after deprivation of their rights, regardless of the article of the code. And you only need to retake the theory of the traffic rules exam - those disqualified do not need to take the motordrome and “city” exams.

Also, all drivers without exception will need to pay all traffic fines (see the loophole when you don’t have to pay).

4.1. After the expiration of the period of deprivation of a special right for committing administrative offenses provided for in Article 9.3 and Chapter 12 of this Code, a driver’s license or a tractor driver’s (tractor driver’s) license seized from a person subjected to this type of administrative punishment is returned after checking his knowledge of the Traffic Rules and after payment in the prescribed manner of administrative fines imposed on him for administrative offenses in the field of road traffic, and for the commission of administrative offenses provided for in Part 1 of Article 12.8, Part 1 of Article 12.26 and Part 3 of Article 12.27 of this Code, also a medical examination of this person for the presence of medical contraindications to driving.

When can I retake?

According to paragraph 4 of the Rules for Returning to a Military District, retaking the exam is allowed after exactly half the period of withdrawal of rights has passed. Even more precisely, according to the law, the start date of this period is the next day. That is, it is correct to divide the period of deprivation by 2 and add 1 day - it is from this that you can legally take a retake for knowledge of the rules.

Where to retake?

As of October 10, 2021, the edition of the Rules for the Return of Rights has changed. According to the new legislation, relevant for 2021, after the changes, you must pass the traffic rules at the place of deprivation.

According to paragraph 2 of the Rules for the return of a license, the exam must be taken at the traffic police department at the place of deprivation:

2. The confiscated driver’s license is returned to the person subjected to administrative punishment ... who has successfully passed a test of his knowledge of the rules of the road in the unit of the State Road Safety Inspectorate at the place of execution of the court decision in the case of an administrative offense ...

This means that you need to choose the traffic police department in which area of the city you were deprived of your license. For example, if the court was in the Vakhitovsky district of the city of Kazan, then you need to take the exam on knowledge of traffic rules at the inspection unit for the Vakhitovsky district. However, you also had to submit your driver’s license there.

Is it possible to sign up for a traffic rules exam through State Services?

No. As of October 11, 2021, such government services are not provided formally. You can only sign up online to issue a driver’s license for the first time and return it after the entire period of deprivation has passed.

However, according to unverified data, you can sign up through State Services by selecting a slightly different item - “Replacement of license upon expiration.” But be careful, payment is required here, and the government service itself is completely different. The data has not been verified because this is the official response of the traffic police, and although it has official status, there is neither responsibility for its unreliability, nor, moreover, the obligation to register you using incorrect data.

Here's the answer:

How to sign up?

In fact, you can absolutely and absolutely sign up for a re-examination directly through a direct contact with the traffic police. To do this, you can select the appropriate service in the terminal, which is installed in almost all branches for 2021, and also by submitting an application by filling it out directly at the branch.

How is the recording going?

After registering at the terminal, you must wait in line when you are called to write an application. You fill out the last document and at this moment you find out the date for retaking the traffic rules. And on this date, just come for a retake.

Procedure for returning the tertiary license

The general algorithm for returning a driver's license is as follows:

Wait until the period of deprivation ends, the countdown of which begins from the moment you receive the relevant certificate.
Submit an application for obtaining a driving license to the traffic police department in which it is stored.
If necessary, take another exam to confirm your understanding of the rules of the road.
After successful completion, you will come to the department with a full set of documents and pick up your ID.

In case of frequent violation of traffic rules, representatives of the law can additionally impose punishment in the form of a financial penalty in the amount of up to three hundred thousand rubles or imprisonment for up to two years.

What documents are needed to retake the exam?

Only a civil passport. You will need it 2 times:

when registering for re-examination at the traffic police department,
when directly passing the exam.

No more documents are needed.

Do you need a medical certificate?

No. Despite the fact that a fresh medical certificate is required when returning to a vehicle after deprivation of a license, it is not required directly for handing over traffic tickets to deprived persons. If inspectors ask you for a medical certificate at this stage, then they are doing it illegally. The entire list of required documents is limited to the passport. This is approved by the Rules for the return of property after deprivation.

Passing a medical examination

After passing the exam, the citizen will have to undergo a medical examination. The procedure is provided for a fee. The cost of the inspection will be from 2,000 to 3,000 rubles. A citizen who has lost his rights can independently choose any medical institution to undergo the procedure.

Important! A medical examination will not be required if the certificate received the previous time has not expired.

In order to pass the commission, the driver does not need to take a referral. To sign up for an examination, just contact the reception desk, submit your details and pay for the service.

Passing a medical examination includes visiting several doctors:

narcologist (must issue a certificate of absence from registration lists);
psychiatrist (must issue a certificate of absence from registration lists);
ophthalmologist;
ENT;
neurologist;
surgeon.

The last doctor will be the therapist, who must draw up a completed certificate and sign it.

How is the traffic rules test carried out?

Everything is done quite quickly and with a minimum of formalities, in flow mode.

you come on the appointed day with your passport,
the examining inspector checks your identity,
You sit down at the computer and a random traffic ticket opens in front of you with 20 questions that you need to answer correctly.

Among the questions, everything is the same as if you were taking the exam for the first time. The questions are aimed at testing knowledge of the traffic rules itself, as well as the basic provisions for admission (vehicle malfunctions), the Code of Administrative Offenses and fines.

How many mistakes can you make?

As of October 11, 2021 (we monitor changes daily), the allowed number of errors is two. At the same time, for each mistake in the main 20 questions, 5 additional questions are given, the answer to which is no longer possible.

We strongly recommend that, in addition to traffic rules, you learn the tickets themselves and the answers to them, since sometimes the correct answers, to put it mildly, do not clearly correlate with the points of the Rules.

What if you don't pass the first time?

In this case, you will have to re-register for the traffic rules exam after deprivation according to the instructions above - through the terminal with a visit to the traffic police department. You can do this immediately after leaving the exam retake office, but they will register you no earlier than 7 days later, this is stipulated by law.

Unfortunately, the maximum period is not regulated by anything, but according to the very principle of the legislation of the Russian Federation, it should be reasonable.

The number of attempts to pass, however, is not limited - you can retake the exam an infinite number of times until you pass it successfully.

What category of rights will the tickets be for?

According to the (“oldest” of all the ones you have) that you passed when you received your license. If you have several categories, this does not mean that you will take each one separately.

The retake occurs as follows:

if you have category “B”, then you will take the traffic rules exam in this category,
for “BC” categories, delivery is made using tickets of “CD” categories (a single set of tickets for this category),
for the “CE” categories, you retake the exam with “CE” tickets, respectively,
motorcyclists with category “A” retake only this category if they do not have “B”, otherwise only the last one.

For reference, also remember that management rights are being deprived as a whole, and not certain categories.

What happens after a successful retake?

If you correctly answered all the necessary questions of the theoretical part of the exam, then based on the results you will be given an examination sheet, which must be carefully stored until the end of the period of deprivation.

When applying for rights after the deadline, you will need to present this sheet to the document acceptance window (administrative practice) along with other documents to return the rights. You will receive a score sheet along with your certificate.

What happens if you fail to pass the first time?

If an employee does not pass the test of traffic rules knowledge, then a re-examination for the second test will be scheduled if:

within the time limit set for answers, 3 incorrect answers were made;
2 incorrect answers were given from the same traffic rules category;
if a cheat sheet is revealed during the exam;
The examinee left the exam without results.

A retake of the exam can be scheduled 7 days after the first test; the number of attempts is not limited by law.

It is important to know!

In conclusion, we present a number of subtleties that are best known and read just in case by everyone who is deprived of their rights.

Pay close attention to the documents confirming the surrender of your license after deprivation to the traffic police (or to the court); Recently, there have been frequent cases when, due to errors in the traffic police, there is no information about the surrender of the certificate, as a result of which the period of deprivation is interrupted (in fact, the period begins when you hand over the license or write a statement about the loss).
To pass the exam, you do not need to pay all the fines you have, but only when you return your license. We have a separate article about the illegality of demanding payment of fines.
All of the above is presented with reference to the legislation in force for 2021. Any other data and exceptions are nothing more than a myth... Even if they supposedly come from the traffic police officers themselves. Remember that employees are the executive branch, not the legislative branch, and they are required to follow the regulations of the current legislation.

Should I take my medical certificate with me?

When returning, a medical certificate is required only in the following cases:

the deprivation was committed for drunk driving;
the motorist drove the car, ignoring the presence of individual contraindications confirmed by doctors;
upon refusal to take a drug test or upon confirmation of the presence of narcotic substances in the blood.

Also, the conclusion of a medical commission will be required in case of early replacement of rights and if the previous certificate contains the note “a medical certificate is required.” In all other cases, this document does not need to be provided.
