In 2012, fines for traffic violations in Russia underwent changes. Many believe that this is correct, and some drivers do not agree with this. Here we have introduced the mandatory rule of fastening the seat belt, which means that it must be fastened. Firstly, the probability of injury to the chest and face is excluded to the maximum, and secondly, by following the law, you save your money. So who is worse off this law? I think it was the right decision. Indeed, in the West, before starting off, the driver and passengers, both front and rear, fasten their seat belts. Even the cops don't start moving until they buckle up.
In addition to the old punishments, new fines for violating traffic rules appeared: for ignoring traffic control signals or driving to a red light. Now this fine is one thousand rubles. Recently, he was seven hundred rubles.
Violating the rules for the passage of road markings, in particular, the stop line, which is framed by road signs, the driver will be subject to a fine of eight hundred rubles. Who doesn’t know, they didn’t pay a fine for this violation.
Provoking traffic accidents, you pay administrative fines for violating traffic rules, which are not comparable with the possible consequences of a collision. What is it worth to stand an extra minute at the traffic lights, and not fly headlong into the yellow light that lights up. As a result of this, a collision occurs with the car, completing the maneuver on the yellow light ending up burning. This is such a rush, disrespect for other participants in the movement that gives rise to malicious boors who violate the rules of cultural behavior on the road, for which ignoring traffic rules is the norm.
If the driver sees that he does not have time to cross the intersection into the green light, but continues to drive, thereby creating a traffic jam, fines for violating traffic rules of this nature are provided in the amount of one thousand rubles. Prior to this, the administrative fine was only one hundred rubles. How does the difference feel?
I would like to believe that after tightening these measures, the fight against traffic jams will unfold in earnest. After all, the main congestion occurs due to road upstarts that do not want to move one after another, observing the distance. No wonder there is a saying: "You go quietly - you owe nothing to anyone." Having overtaken everyone and drove to a busy intersection, a person is forced to stop, thereby ensuring a long, simple and already angry drivers.
The penalty for creating obstacles and not passing cars that have an advantage when crossing the intersection will increase. These fines for violation of traffic rules will increase to one thousand rubles compared with the old fine of one hundred - two hundred rubles. On the roads, the number of video cameras that record not only traffic violations, but also parking on lawns and sidewalks has increased.
But besides these penalties, there is an indulgence for drivers, although it is insignificant, but nonetheless. Now drivers will not be held liable for the lack of technical standard. Although, until amendments are made to the rules of the road, for some time you still have to keep the coupon on the windshield, and, upon request, show the traffic police officer. If you did not have the technical standard with you, then no penalties will be applied to you, since this rule is excluded from the Code.
The meaning of all these changes and amendments introduced by the legislation is as follows: the driver should have only the most necessary documents with him. Simplified and passing inspection. Penalties for violation of traffic rules, which is the lack of technical inspection, will be imposed only on drivers of buses, passenger taxis and vehicles carrying dangerous goods or people.
