As RIA Novosti reports with reference to Senator Artem Sheikin, the government’s response, prepared by the Ministry of Justice, taking into account the position of the main ministries, proposes to support the bill on regulating personal mobility devices. It is true that the comments need to be finalized. One of these concerns the fact that the explanation only contains data on the number and consequences of accidents in which SIM is involved, but not on the number of accidents in which administrative responsibility has fallen.

There is also no information showing that enforcement measures for cyclists and pedestrians are inadequate, nor that regions are failing to meet traffic management requirements. Another note stipulates a change in the amount of fines – the authors of the review noted that the penalty for violating the rules for transporting goods and towing a SIM card is higher than the fine for a similar offense committed by a motorist.

“The right of police officers to suppress these violations and bring the perpetrators under administrative responsibility upon appeal by citizens or upon direct discovery of such violations must be upheld,” the document said.
