Every motorist knows that with a wave of a police baton one must be pulled to the side of the road. But what if there is no “striped plank” in the hands of a roadside law enforcement officer, but he gestures to stop? With details – the portal “AvtoVzglyad”.
In fact, the bar is used by traffic cops for better visibility of the signals given to road users. A similar device in the hands of a law enforcement officer may be a red reflector. And the police have the right to use the service whistle as an additional means of attracting attention. But what about the driver when he is slowed down by traffic cops, who actually have nothing in their hands?
Of course, the “mate” may not notice the gestures of the police fingers and palms. On purpose or by accident, it doesn’t matter. This way – don’t go to a fortune teller – it will arouse suspicion in law enforcement. The servicemen will easily transfer the data from the car that flew by to the nearest crew, and at the same time to the duty unit, where, not without pleasure, they will “beat” the owner for his violations. In addition, at best, the driver will be fined from 500 to 800 rubles for non-compliance with the requirements of the traffic police inspector. And here’s why.
In fact, the law clearly regulates the process of “remote communication” of people in uniform with road users. And in addition to that “magic wand”, traffic cops have every right to brake cars “with the aid of a loudspeaker or with a hand gesture aimed at the vehicle”.
In addition, traffic police officers can stop absolutely any car, even from a moving patrol car. And for this they do not need to turn on the siren or the “quack” at all – it is enough with a gesture of the hand to show from the window of the official transport that the driver should settle on the side of the road.
