For the safety of road users

If a driver is brought to administrative responsibility for consumption of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances without a doctor's prescription, then in addition to the main fine, an additional punishment will be applied to him – withdrawal of a driver's license for a certain period. The amendments, initiated by the President of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic were adopted by the Supreme Council in two readings at once in the course of the plenary-online meeting.

The terms for limiting the use of a driver's license will be determined in court. After this time, you will need to undergo a medical examination. Those who do not yet have a driver's license, but are brought to administrative responsibility for drug use, will not be allowed to take exams for driving a vehicle for six months. Anyone who wants to pass the exams and get a license will also need to undergo a medical examination after that.

Galina Antyufeeva noted that a working group was created to amend the Code of Administrative Offenses and the Law "On Road Safety", which included representatives, including the Prosecutor's Office of the PMR.

The adopted legislations were sent for signature to the President of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic. It will come into force 14 days after signed and published.

Today, the Supreme Council supported in two readings the President's law-in-draft on the extension of the quarantine measures until March 31, 2022. The law was sent for signature to the President of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic. This means that it is still necessary to wear protective masks and maintain social distance.
