When choosing a car in the flow of traffic to stop and check documents, traffic police officers are guided by their own, sometimes very peculiar, criteria. Portal “AutoVzglyad” talks about one of them.
The results of a recent VTsIOM survey show that about a third of the population smokes in Russia today. At the same time, there is a strong suspicion that many enthusiasts of all kinds of vaping and other “nipples” do not consider themselves smokers. Therefore, it is likely that the actual percentage of regular smoking Russians is much higher than in official statistics. And as far as we know, no one has really counted the number of smokers among motorists. Meanwhile, in addition to the obvious health damage, smoking while driving can also lead to increased attention for the driver of the traffic police. There are several not very obvious reasons for this.
So every traffic police officer is aware of the homegrown methods that some drunk drivers use to mask the smell of alcohol or fumes from the mouth. One is the smell of tobacco. Now a whole palette of flavors of vapes has been added. Therefore, after seeing a car in the stream, from the window of which a club of chemical smoke from a “quasi-cigarette” fell, a normal traffic cop will definitely stop it. To examine the driver’s condition: suddenly he will show signs of intoxication. And not just alcohol! In nature, there are plenty of illegal drugs that are meant to be smoked or inhaled.
You may not recognize the drug user by the smell, but by his behavior – completely. Therefore, a car with a smoker must be slowed down – a deprivation protocol for a citizen who consumes alcohol or drugs while driving is not on the road and does not give himself up! Another factor that directly increases the chance of being stopped by a traffic police officer is known in principle. This is the driver’s insecure behavior on the road. For example, a “twitchy” speed mode or, which is much more important in our case, yaw in your lane. This is a sign of the fact that a person is driving in a not quite adequate psychophysiological state.
When a person lights up while driving, they inevitably get a little distracted from the road. The same thing happens when you have to shake the ashes off a cigarette – into an ashtray or out the window. At such times, the car at least wanders around a bit. Meanwhile, the trained eye of the traffic police patrol locates. Usually the traffic cop is not aware of this signal from his senses. Only at such a moment a reflex is aroused in him: he drives uncertainly, so the driver may be drunk, you should check that! And quits a smoker who is completely sober. After a number of similar cases, the motorist begins to wonder: why do traffic cops constantly “brake” me?! In fact, everything is simple: smoking is harmful!
