Brashkin, the disputed legislative provision in the sense given it by law-enforcement practice contradicts Articles 2, of 6, 15 (parts 1 and 4), 17, 18, 19, 27, 35 (part 1 and 2), 49 and 62 Constitutions of the Russian Federation in that measure in what does not allow the citizen of the Russian Federation who is constantly living in its territory and having the car driver license issued in foreign state - the participant of the Convention on traffic, to manage in the Russian Federation the vehicle though in the legislation there are no terms for exchange of the foreign national car driver license for the Russian.

Thus, taking into account Articles 36, of 74, 96 and 97 Federal constitutional Laws "About the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation" Item 12 of article 25 of the Federal law "About Traffic Safety" is subject of consideration of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation of this case in that measure in what it is applied to the solution of question of the admission to vehicle control of the citizen of the Russian Federation who is constantly living in the Russian Federation, based on the foreign national car driver license valid and this state issued to it in other state during the stay of his citizen.

2. Russia - the democratic constitutional state in which the supreme value are the person, its rights and freedom, and fundamental obligation of the state - recognition, observance and protection of the rights and freedoms of man and citizen which are not subject to restriction differently as the Federal Law and only in that measure in what it is necessary for the purpose of protection of bases of the constitutional system, morality, health, the rights and legitimate interests of other persons, ensuring defense of the country and safety of the state.
