Chairman of the Council under the President of the Russian Federation for the development of civil society and human rights (HRC) Valery Fadeev proposed to Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin to ban Russian taxi drivers from working with foreign rights. According to the HRC Telegram channel, Fadeev also proposes to make Russian certification mandatory for such taxi drivers.
It is clarified that taxi drivers will have to “pass certification for knowledge of the road network of the subject of the Russian Federation that issued the permit for transportation.” Fadeev proposes to fix these norms temporarily in the Rules for the carriage of passengers and baggage by road and urban ground electric transport.
Also, in his opinion, such drivers should be given a transitional period to undergo appropriate training. Fadeev believes that the new rule will preserve the opportunity for drivers with foreign rights to travel on the roads of Russia for personal purposes and will not affect those who carry out international bus and cargo transportation.
At the moment, Russian taxi drivers are only required to have at least three years of experience, which is confirmed by the date of issue of rights in a foreign country.
