But enough about the Chinese! There was also social news this week. The first is that now in Russia you can install square license plates not only on the back, but also on the front of the car. For three years, Rosstandart held out, calling such an innovation inappropriate, but eventually relented. Secondly, the State Duma supported in first reading a bill on the exchange of double VAT on the resale of used cars between legal entities.
And finally, good news for residents of megacities who are fed up with crazy people on electric scooters. In Moscow, they started an experiment to identify traffic violators on personal mobility devices using cameras. The timing isn’t the best, as the season is almost over, but still. The complexes can recognize leaving the lane, crossing a zebra crossing without getting off, as well as joint rides – when two people ride on one scooter.
Meanwhile, the “A Just Russia – For the Truth” party has submitted a bill to the State Duma proposing to tighten penalties for electric scooter riders, up to 15 days of arrest. Such measures, if the initiative is supported, will be applied to those who are repeatedly caught significantly speeding or drink driving.
