I don’t get the point to this new amendment, they are fcuking stupid :you_crazy:you_crazy
Transgender people have been banned from driving in Russia, according to a new legal amendment published this week.
The regulations, which affect people deemed to have “sexual disorders”, also affect fetishists, voyeurs, exhibitionists and transvestites, and were immediately condemned by human rights activists as discriminatory.
The amendment to the law listing medical impediments to driving was signed by prime minister Dmitry Medvedev at the end of last year, but only published this week.
Russia has some of the worst figures for road accident fatalities in the world, and the new regulations are part of a government programme aimed at reducing the number of people who die on the country’s roads. Currently, official figures say 30,000 people die and 250,000 are injured on the roads every year.
The amendments give a long list of physical and mental disabilities which are legal impediments to driving, including conditions such as serious visual impairment or paralysis.
