In Russia, it is proposed to ban children from driving a car Russian news EN
State Duma deputy Tatyana Butskaya called for a direct ban on the transfer of driving to children. She sent the corresponding appeal to the head of the State traffic inspectorate Mikhail Chernikov, authors “News”.
Butskaya said that effective traffic rules in Russia need to be improved. She suggests that children should not be allowed to drive a car: for reasonable reasons, when parents take the child on their lap and let them “steer”.

The deputy added that she receives complaints from citizens about videos of bloggers on the network in which underage children drive a car. “I am literally bombarded with links to videos of children driving on the driver’s lap. And this is not always an empty road, ”said Butskaya.
Andrey Mukhortikov, a member of the public council under the Ministry of Transport and Road Safety of the Moscow Region, did not support the initiative of the deputy, since the traffic rules no longer allow children to drive. President of the Board of Judicial Protection of Car Owners Viktor Travin recalled that this rule is observed in part 2.7 of the SDA.
However, tracking down violations is not easy. The chairman of the Krasnodar branch of the All-Russian Society of Motorists, Vladimir Korobchak, pays to toughen the punishment for finding a child driving a car: “substantially increase the fine” and allow deprivation of the right for a period of three to six months in case of repeated hit.
