The Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation proposes to require suppliers of imported passenger car tires on the Russian market to pay an environmental tax in advance. The innovation will impact manufacturers outside the Eurasian Economic Zone. Concerns about the environment are of course good, but who will pay for the innovation? The traditional answer is you and me.
Any change in any production has a painful impact on the first stage of its integration into a streamlined process and only produces results later. If they give it at all, of course. The same goes for laws. And you don’t have to look far for examples: a two hundredfold increase – previously this word was only used for lenses, but now also for rates – an increase in the scrappage rate left hundreds of Russians without a paid-for car, and the president had to personally resolve the issue manually. Now officials have decided to take over the tires: come on, dear traders, pay the costs in advance, and not after the sale.
Importers will pay up front, shifting costs and not forgetting to place further risks, who knows what other offers there will be, on the buyer’s shoulders. Well, don’t we have to pay terrible interest on loans out of our own profits? Money is frozen in a commodity, ‘simple currency’ must be ‘backed’ accordingly. As a result, tires will rise sharply in price: immediately and noticeably. The category of ‘doubters’ – those who choose to ‘drive a little more’ – will increase, and there will be even more accidents on the roads.
Here it is worth remembering the recent terrible accident on the M11, which killed people and destroyed more than 60 cars. The reason was a single elderly driver who installed winter tires – now think about that – only on the front drive axle. And behind that was ‘summer’. Stored. The result is in the news.
Who is responsible for such accidents? De jure – drivers who, according to the law, bear full responsibility for the technical condition of the car. Called yourself a milk truck (read: a motorist) – pay up. And in response to every difficult question from above, you are asked to switch to comfortable and safe public transport. As you can see, no innovations apply to equipping new tires. Only for passenger cars.
Just last year in Russia, the number of road accidents and, as a result, the death rate in road accidents increased dramatically. The growth was so striking and global that the issue reached the highest echelons of power, and Marat Khusnullin had to demand that road workers and near-road structures immediately return to the indicators of the national Safe Quality Roads project. to guarantee. . Of course the vice chairman of the government has nothing else to do, he is bored.
Let’s say the road workers heard their boss and got to work. But accidents on highways and streets are not solely their fault. How many traffic accidents were explained by the tired statement ‘lost control’, ‘skidded’ and so on? And often it is she who did not work as expected. Rubber. Why didn’t it work? Yes, because it has long exceeded its service life and needs to be replaced. But many simply do not have the money for such a procedure.
