Здравствуйте, транспортный эксперт!
В этом году вы несколько раз писали о том, что штат Нью-Йорк скоро разрешит жителям с иностранным гражданством и без вида на жительство в США сдавать экзамены и получать водительские права. До конца года осталось чуть более месяца. Скажите, когда это, наконец, произойдёт? Не удалось ли противникам инициативы губернатора Куомо заблокировать в суде закон о драйвер-лайсенсах для всех желающих? Пётр
Уважаемый Пётр!
Последней хорошей новостью стало отклонение всех судебных исков, которые могли замедлить или вообще отменить закон, разрешающий Отделу транспортных средств штата Нью-Йорк (NYSDMV) выдавать водительские права жителям без документов. Таких исков было около десятка, но подавались они в основном в округах и графствах в апстейте Нью-Йорка. Консервативно настроенные лоббисты подобных судебных исков опасались, что иностранцы за рулём спровоцируют вспышку дорожно-транспортных происшествий.
Единогласие нью-йоркских судов сделало закон, разрешающий жителям без документов получать драйвер-лайсенсы, необратимым. Он официально вступит в силу 14 декабря 2019 года. С этого дня Нью-Йорк станет 13-м штатом в стране, разрешающим получать официальные водительские права (некоторые пометки с ограничениями там всё-таки будут присутствовать) жителям без документов.
Имейте в виду, что с середины декабря и до конца лета 2020 года в отделениях DMVпо всему штату могут возникнуть очереди. Поэтому транспортный эксперт настоятельно рекомендует всем желающим получить права не приходить в DMVспонтанно, а делать предварительный онлайн-аппойнтмент. Подобная опция существует на официальном сайте NYSDMV.
В настоящее время в одном только городе Нью-Йорк проживают более 540 тысяч жителей без документов. Согласно неофициальной статистике, каждый четвёртый из них собирается получить водительские права после вступления в силу исторического закона. Поэтому в ближайшем будущем водить машину в Нью-Йорке станет сложнее. Если транспортных средств в городе будет больше, парковочных мест станет ещё меньше, а дорожных пробок - ещё дольше.
