You may not even know that “taxi drivers” are 7.4 times more likely to cause an accident than regular car owners. Which, in fact, is not too surprising, because many “checkered coachmen” arrived in the Russian Federation from countries where they know absolutely nothing about traffic rules and the nuances of driving in our country.
But according to their mentality, they are used to solving all problems on the spot. Including road. And having come to us, they aggressively plant their car anticulture in the minds of Russian “steersmen”. Including offering to solve all problems with the accidents arranged by them without the intervention of the traffic police. Why it is categorically impossible to agree to such proposals, explains the AvtoVzglyad portal.
Let’s start with the fact that taxi drivers very often “wipe away a tear” from an opponent because they are not completely sober or at least suffering from a terrible hangover (or even completely drugged). The meeting with the traffic police is not at all convenient for them. But in this situation it is not worth admitting the “Alkonarkos” and taking money from them for the damage caused, if only because by letting them go, you actually become an accomplice to their further “exploits “. The result of this can be deaths and injuries.
Also, many “taxi drivers” are pushing for “negotiation” fearing the deterioration of the KBM. This is because the rate of insured accidents under OSAGO, in which taxi drivers were to blame, was 33% last year. Because of this, the average cost of a “car citizen” policy for a taxi in January 2023 was 25,800 rubles (for ordinary car owners – 7,400 ₽). In addition to the above, the driver may simply not have an OSAGO policy (only 40% of 100% taxis are properly insured).
But the saddest consequences of the “registration” of the accident without the traffic police is that the taxi driver’s opponent, agreeing to leave peacefully, can easily lose his “rights”. Let’s assume that you were to blame for the incident, and not the taxi driver. And for the above reasons, the migrant has asked you to pay on the spot (and save time and money).
But who will stop him after some time to report to the traffic police? Pointing out that the perpetrator simply fled. As a result, the scammer also receives compensation from the insurance company, and you risk not only losing your “rights”, but also having to pay the damage again if the insurer’s payments do not fully cover the damage of the cunning taxi driver.
