Recently, officials of various ranks have urged their colleagues to switch to the products of the Russian car industry, or rather, LADA cars. And in this case, the head of the traffic police, Mikhail Chernikov, unexpectedly surpassed everyone. Portal “AvtoVzglyad” provides details.

This week, Mr. Chernikov on an inspection tour of the country’s roads. The country’s chief traffic officer also opted for a white LADA Granta sedan in the Classic`22 anti-crisis configuration as the main vehicle.

Recall that, because of the infamous sanctions, AvtoVAZ was forced to deprive Grant airbags, anti-lock braking system and instead of a 16-valve engine to install a 90 hp “eight valve” that meets Euro-2 eco standards.

However, the head of the traffic police will receive electric power steering, electric windows at the front, electric door mirrors, an on-board computer and four loudspeakers. But the air conditioner and radio, most likely not …

By the way, under the state program of preferential loans, it is really possible to buy a LADA Granta Classic 2022 model year for only 543,120 rubles. And we can assume that such an attractive price will make many Russians look at this car.

A personal journey to a LADA Granta for a long distance, at a time when you have at your disposal the entire garage of the traffic police headquarters with its representative “Germans” is in itself a downright heroic act. However, this action still looks like pure populism in the first place. After all, it is clear to the hedgehog that for years it will not be General Chernikov, but thousands of ordinary traffic police inspectors, who will have to drag for years behind the wheel of this marvel of the sanctioned Russian car industry. The thought that Chernikov himself once drove a Granta without ABS probably won’t help his subordinates while in this car he was chasing a drunken intruder in a perky BMW.

On the other hand, the spectacle of a great police chief, driving a humble LADA Granta, accompanied by a convoy of powerful foreign cars in a special traffic police suit, is sure to amuse all oncoming drivers. And thanks for that. Although many of them will certainly be visited by associations with 2010, when President Putin pierced the space of Russian roads and directions on the yellow LADA Kalina. I remember the president’s procession carrying a few spare “yellow Kalins” on a car transporter, in case the president’s car broke down. Interesting: did the organizers of General Mikhail Chernikov’s trip think of providing him with a spare LADA Granta?
