For the most part, drivers are accustomed to the typical behavior of traffic police representatives during a standard document check. But recently, officers sometimes demonstrate unprecedented skills during
This happens as follows. After the police officer receives the documents from the motorist’s hands, he examines them while standing at the driver’s door. And then he takes a step to the back of the car, bends down and looks over the driver’s shoulder at the interior. Somewhat unusual behavior. Although it is actually very understandable.
In order not to be surprised anymore, it is enough to consider that on September 1 of this year a new edition of the appendix to the traffic rules with the “List of errors and conditions under which driving vehicles is prohibited” came into force. This document added new types of problems that prevent the car from being driven. Having discovered something from this list, the traffic police officer must prohibit the driver from moving and impose a fine of 500 rubles. The apparently strange body movements of traffic police officers during document checks are directly related to the novelties in the “List”.
First of all, let’s say that the officer, while still approaching a stationary car, can pay attention to the position of the front wheels. If they are clearly ‘looking’ straight ahead, he has the opportunity to find out where the ‘steering wheel’ is located by looking into the cabin. The strong deviation from the “zero” position with “straight wheels” is a sign that there may be strong play in the steering column.
For the police officer, this is a reason, after convincing himself of the correctness of his conclusion, to prohibit the car owner from driving his vehicle until the identified malfunction is resolved.
In the same way, from the position “over the driver’s shoulder”, the traffic officer can easily check another parameter of the car, which determines the possibility of further movement: the performance of the anti-lock braking system. When an icon indicating problems with the ABS lights up on the dashboard of a car, driving it is prohibited according to traffic regulations.
The third “bell” that interests the crouching traffic police officer is the view from the driver’s seat. In this case we are not talking about the degree of tinting of the windshield, but about the presence of any objects on it that limit the driver’s field of vision. In early September 2023, the State Road Safety Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation issued a special clarification that the updated “List” does not prohibit the use of video recorders and transponders for travel on toll roads installed on “Lobovukha”. But the gadget should not hinder the helmsman. Traffic police officers must control this moment.
