Health Ministry has offered to compile a list of diseases in which a person can not be admitted to driving. It is also planned to introduce new forms for certificates, which can not be faked. Department of Health and Social Development of Russia drafted a bill under which "driving" medical certificates will not be able to get people with mental disorders - alcoholics, drug addicts, drug abuser and epileptics. The list can go and people with mental retardation. In the first version of the draft law on the list have been enrolled, even hypertensive patients, but in the end they struck out, as this is a very common disease. It was finally decided to leave the mental disorders, heart diseases and ailments that can cause sudden loss of consciousness or even death. It is unclear who can be considered an alcoholic or drug addict, as registered in medical institutions are not all of them. In addition, there are many people who are attached to the bottle or use drugs is not permanent, and therefore did not require treatment. It is also uncertain as to be the one who has been treated for addiction - whether they will get a driver's license and on what basis? Although not go to extremes, too, is still too early - mostly paper will restrict access to the rudder of people with disabilities. For example, clearly will be described with any ailment you can go only to "automatic", and with what is possible and on the "mechanics". Or require people with low vision to drive with glasses or lenses, and with hearing loss - hearing aids. There are currently no law to the list of diseases that restricts the issuance of driver's licenses, no. Now do not even have photographed wearing glasses for people with visual impairments, as the proliferation of contact lenses this claim was irrelevant. For drivers with plastered hands do not make claims, even those who travel by car to the "mechanics". The process of obtaining a medical certificate form number 083/U-89 has become a formality. In driver education certificate is offered as a bonus, the average asking her 500 rubles. And students do not need to go anywhere - the doctors themselves come in a driving school, to deliver print all at once. Yourself get too medspravku no difficulty, in Moscow it is 350 - 700 rubles. Moreover, bypassing all the doctors on the list is otsily 10 minutes, as motorists take to the clinics without waiting in line. Adoption of the new bill would entail a sharp rise in prices for the passage of medical board. The difference can amount to several thousand. Another idea Ministry of Health - the introduction of new medical evidence which would confirm the absence of contraindications to driving. Upgraded medspravka will be protected from tampering, and data on the issuance of each such form will be sent to the Traffic Police. There is no common database of those who successfully passed a medical examination, therefore, creating a single registry to start from scratch. And it is a huge job, which naturally require a lot of money. According to statistics for 2009, an average of 7,1% of accidents in Russia has been committed by drunk drivers. And in the Kurgan region, Tuva Republic, Pskov Oblast, Amur Oblast, Altai Republic, Nenets and Chukotka autonomous district, this percentage is much higher - between 14 and 20. Driving drunk - the fourth most common cause of accidents after the violation speeding, driving without a license and leaving the opposite lane. The proposed bill will increase attention to the Health Ministry to help, the significance of which is now virtually zero. After driving schools drivers remember it only when you open a new category of license or exchange of "rights" as well as passing inspection. And it means - no more than once a year, and this document is valid for three years after issuance. So the proposal of Ministry of Health, would likely turn into no benefit to motorists, and another increase in levies during the registration process. Text: Olga Zabelkina.
