The head of the capital’s Ministry of Transport, Maxim Liksutov, announced that from September 21 in Moscow, with the help of cameras, they began to fine passengers for not wearing seat belts. In accordance with Article 12.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses – “violation of the rules for the use of seat belts or motorcycle helmets” – due to the carelessness of riders, car owners are issued “chain letters” worth 1,000 rubles.

Previously, Moscow’s traffic police reported that it had imposed nearly 2 million fines on drivers for “belt” in the first seven months of 2023. Now their number has every chance to grow significantly as the passenger usually also ignores the safety rules if the driver is not wearing a seat belt.

We also note that the automatic fixation complexes can only take pictures of unbelted passengers when they are sitting in the front seats. So far, no police camera can determine what is happening in the back seat of the car. Especially if the vehicle has heavily tinted side windows.
