Today, on May 27, the Government of Armenia approved the legislative project presented by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which significantly changes the procedure for restoring that right for citizens who have been deprived of the right to drive. The project will be presented to the National Assembly for consideration.
The project proposes:
♦ the right of persons who have been deprived of the right to drive, upon application within 1 year after the expiry of the period of deprivation, to restore the right once without passing qualification exams, by paying the state duty prescribed by law, and to establish a probationary period for a period of 1 year. And the second or next time, restore only after passing qualifying exams.
♦ if a trial period is established, allocate 6 points instead of 13 points.
♦ in case of consumption of 6 penalty points by a person on probation, provide for deprivation of the right to drive vehicles for a period of one year.
♦ impose a state fee in the amount of fifty thousand drams to restore the right to drive without qualifying exams and to set a probationary period.
At the same time, a transitional provision is established, according to which after January 1, 2020, deprived persons will be able to restore their right to drive only once more, by paying the appropriate state fee and allocating 6 penalty points, subject to a 1-year probationary period.
