With regard to the category of persons with disabilities, the legislator has not established any special restrictions that could become an obstacle to a disabled person obtaining a driver's license and purchasing a car. If a citizen, regardless of the established disability group, can pass a medical examination and successfully pass the driving test, then he must be issued a driver’s license in the prescribed manner.
Citizens of groups 2 and 3 may be allowed to drive a vehicle. Those who, according to the results of the ITU, were assigned group 1, if they have diseases and medical restrictions specified in Government Decree No. 1604, due to the inability to self-care and the need for supervision and assistance from other persons, cannot be allowed to operate a high-risk vehicle.
A person with a disability can obtain a driver's license if he does not have a disease that prevents him from driving.
The list of diseases and medical restrictions is defined in Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 29, 2014 No. 1604.
The list of medical contraindications includes the following diseases: mental disorders, mental retardation, blindness in both eyes, epilepsy. The same document (RF Government Decree No. 1604) establishes a list of diseases that determine the need to equip a vehicle for manual control or use a car only with an automatic transmission.
