Allow exchange of driving licences issued in Russian Federation

Petition Details

Holders of Russian-issued full driving licence have to go through theory and driving test in the UK to get UK full driving licence regardless of existing driving experience

Driving tests in Russia are similar to UK standards, so requiring drivers to undergo a test again is an unnecessary burden

Additional Information

Ukraine-issued driving licences were recently allowed to be exchanged to UK ones (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/exchange-of-driving-licences-issued-in-taiwan-the-united-arab-emirates-ukraine-and-the-republic-of-north-macedonia).

Driving test standards and road safety levels in Russia and Ukraine are very similar so it makes sense to also allow Russian-issued licences to be exchanged.
