Some people preparing to take driving tests in Lithuania say Regitra’s exam-registration penalties are too severe, leaving them feeling as though they had committed a crime.

The agency says it regularly informs drivers when a restriction is approaching. The dispute centers on what the registration system is intended to achieve and whether its warnings are sufficient.
