Last year, Russian car owners “earned” more than 200 million fines. The treasury received an insane income of 113 billion rubles from cameras alone. In other words, a rare driver has not received a “letter of happiness” from the traffic police. In addition, this state concern for road safety turned out to be very disastrous for many “steersmen”. And it is not surprising that a significant proportion of motorized citizens are quite actively in favor of moderation of penalties for driver misconduct.
A recent survey by the Renaissance Insurance group and the Avtokod service showed that a third of car owners annually lose up to 10,000 rubles in fines, and another three percent give 20,000 “wooden” money to the budget. True, the jokes of the rest of the drivers cost them 2000 ₽, which is also a lot in general. every year they “play pranks” on 2000 “wooden”.
Therefore, many Russians believe that the authorities should reduce fines for a number of violations. Primarily for things like minor speeding (62% of respondents favored this), excessive tinting (43% of respondents), an obscene seatbelt (30%), expired insurance (29%), and wrong parking place ( 28%).
But for some violations, according to drivers, the punishment should be more severe. Fines can and should be increased, they say, for driving under the influence (69%), driving in the oncoming lane (50%), running a red light (49%), driving on the side of the road (47% ). %) and crossing in the wrong place (45%).
However, the authorities are unlikely to comply with popular aspirations. More precisely, those of them who can have a dramatic impact on the replenishment of the budget, which is going through difficult times today. But on the increase in fines (and not only for those compositions that were reported by the survey participants), unfortunately, we can count.
