In the psychology of the mass Russian driver, changes are gradual, not very noticeable, but powerful and inevitable, changes that could not even be imagined a few decades
The statistics of visits to modern “automotive” Internet media claim that the majority of modern drivers who consume information from the “Internet” are, for the most part, little interested in publications that somehow describe all kinds of horror stories that happen when a driver communicates with a traffic police officer. It appears that this subject is of particular interest to citizens over 40 years of age. And the youngster, it turns out, don’t care about police “ambushes”, ways to protect themselves from traffic cops, “scams” and the like. Basically they are not interested in reading and watching anything about a personal conflict between a driver and a traffic cop.
What does it say? Everything is simple. In Russia, over the past 15-20 years, a layer of car owners has appeared, grown and begins to dominate numerically, who have not found the customs that ruled the roads during the Soviet era and the “heady 90s”. When it was considered great luck to stop by a traffic police officer, not to be subjected to some form of extortion. Then, depending on the number of stationary posts on the route, truck drivers took, for example, a certain amount – for bribes. And about the “rambunctious” traffic police posts of the Krasnodar Territory and the Rostov Region, heartbreaking legends circulated throughout Russia (although these regions are restless in this sense today).
About how the “werewolves in uniform” who live there can “constrain” every motorist that passes by – right down to the falsification of a criminal case. But all this was when the active driving life was led by those who are now over 45 years old. What do younger drivers see on the road now, those who started driving in the mid-2000s and beyond? The picture is completely different. There are no fixed traffic police posts. In general there are few police officers – now the cameras are in fact responsible for the fines. When the car is stopped by officers, in the vast majority of cases they communicate correctly with the driver. If you don’t break anything, no one tries to ascribe imaginary “sins” to you.
DVRs installed in almost every first car provide a comprehensive picture of almost every traffic incident, and social networks immediately spread the details of every scandal around the world. Millions of Russian drivers, unlike their predecessors “originally from the USSR”, now generally do not care at all: how many traffic police patrols are ahead and what they are doing there.
It can be said that the traffic policeman has practically become an empty place for the mass Russian motorist, who sometimes asks to show “rights” and STS, and then wishes “good luck”, nothing more. And it’s great! For this reason alone, I personally do not want to “go back to the USSR” …
