At the end of July, a law came into force in Russia that allows the confiscation of cars of those citizens who have lost their “rights” as a result of a gross violation of traffic rules, but nevertheless got behind the wheel and again entangled in the same hit “joke”. Until now, it was not necessary to apply this measure in practice, but the “lafa” is over: the car was seized from the first car owner for drink-driving.
A young driver from the Krasnoyarsk region, previously prosecuted for drink-driving, seems to learn nothing from life. Just after the law on heavier penalties for serious offenses committed several times, he got behind the wheel again drunk and was caught by the traffic police.
As a result of the legal proceedings, the citizen was not only deprived of his “rights” for 2.5 years, but was also sent to corrective labor for a period of 360 hours. In addition, for the first time in Russia’s legal practice, a car of his was seized in favor of the state.
Recall that the authorities fought for more than a year for the implementation of this measure, but could not approve the bill – the Supreme Court opposed it, citing the fact that the vehicle does not always belong to the offender. As a result, they reached a compromise: they decided to confiscate a car only in cases where it is in the name of a citizen who is held accountable. As, for example, in the case of a driver from the Krasnoyarsk Territory.
And in more detail about the bill providing for the seizure of cars for gross violations, the AvtoVzglyad portal told here.
