It is no longer a secret to anyone that installing xenon lamps in the low and high beam, if the optics are not ready for such adjustments, is prohibited by law. The ban is old, but it was not always followed, so the majority managed to “refit” even the old Zhiguli. GAI officers were periodically punished, search and arrest campaigns came in waves, but the cases are still there. In addition, technology did not stand still, xenon kits became more compact, so our people, cunning for inventions, began to integrate bright lamps not only in head optics, but also in fog lamps and even in “reverse”! Light, bright, beautiful!
It is difficult to disagree with the arguments described above, but the law clearly states that xenon lamps can only be installed in optics with indices: DC – in the low beam, DCR – in both the near and far light. If there is no such designation on the lighting device, then “modernization” is illegal. Simply put, no matter how many similar letters you look for on a lantern, you won’t find it. And so there is punishment. According to Article 12.4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses “Violation of the rules for installing light signals on cars”, the traffic police officer has every right to issue a “fat” for 3,000 rubles. And that’s over $50 today! Unsubscribe? Of course he will write it out, because there is a violation.
Now do not make the technical inspection every year, even if the traffic police do not check it, but the visual changes in the car that can be seen with the “eyes” or can be recorded with a special device – the same tinting – are a good reason not only to stop the car, but also for extra control of anything and everything. Again, they will look at the documents, the insurance, and they can “blow it out” if there are any doubts. In short, it takes a lot of time.
And then the brightest motorists, who have repeatedly violated for the sake of beauty and image, will proudly declare: well, how will he control the reverse gear? Like, everything is clear with the front optics, but here the “reverse” can not be turned on, let the police officer take a walk.
This is where ordinary human physiology, habit comes in: remember how a driver usually behaves in an automatic transmission car when stopped by a traffic cop? In order not to hold the brake pedal, the “box” is moved to the first position. How are the taillights doing right now? That is it. A police officer walking behind it – a car that stops “with a stick” always drives a little forward – will notice the “joke” and will certainly replenish the state treasury.
