The State Duma Committee on State Construction and Legislation has recommended the adoption in the first reading of a draft law on fines for dangerous driving. Experts still have questions about who will catch offenders if the document is adopted. Here are the details.
The bill was introduced in the lower house of parliament by LDPR deputies. They want to add a new article to the Administrative Offenses Code – "Dangerous Driving." The fine for such driving, according to the deputies' idea, will range from 3,000 rubles to 5,000 rubles. If the driver violates the rule again, it is proposed to deprive them of the right to drive for up to three months.
The State Duma Committee on State Construction and Legislation considered the sanctions for repeated violations insufficient. They suggested that deputies revise them before considering the document in the first reading.
Journalist Maxim Kadakov wonders whether the law will be strict for everyone or whether it will not affect the "rich Buratinos."
The saga of introducing this fine continues. It is not very clear who will catch the offenders. Will the law be equally strict for everyone – or will rich Buratinos in top cars continue to terrorize the night avenues.
The journalist emphasizes that there are no plans to increase the staff in the traffic police. Perhaps, in the future, dangerous driving will be determined by cameras.
