Driving a car in Russia 2024
Mandatory car equipment in Russia
However, in addition to spare fuses, light bulbs, jack, triangle, key, spare and first aid kit, you must have a fire extinguisher in your car.
An empty petrol can is also recommended. It will be especially useful in remote regions where the network of petrol stations is not as extensive as in the interior.
Alcohol at the wheel
The permissible blood alcohol level in the Russian Federation is 0.29 per mille.
Daylight
In Russia, it is compulsory to keep the lights on throughout the year, regardless of the time of day.
Safety belts
Front and rear passengers are required to wear seat belts while driving. It is the responsibility of the driver of the car to wear the seatbelt.
Crossing roundabouts
Until 2017, the right-hand rule was in force in Russia when passing roundabouts, i.e. drivers on the roundabout gave way to approaching cars unless otherwise specified by traffic signs.
This certain ambiguity led to many risky situations. Those already on the roundabout have the right of way. As this rule may not yet be well established in Russia, caution is advised when driving through roundabouts, but also when driving in Russia in general.
