It is believed that the most unpleasant punishment for an offender who allows himself a disrespectful attitude towards others is 500 rubles under art. 12.14 of the Code of Administrative Offenses – “Violation of the Rules of Maneuvering.” Long discussed in the media and the State Duma, the penalty for “dangerous driving” has not yet been introduced. Although there are plenty of homegrown “racers” everywhere. As a rule, they are not afraid of a fine of five hundred rubles and continue to behave on the road as they please: aggressively interfere with other drivers, creating dangerous situations. And law-abiding drivers are forced to endure the antics of assholes, who for some reason fancy themselves as incredibly advanced racers.
But not everything is as bleak as it seems. Practice shows that the population of self-proclaimed Formula 1 pilots is particularly striking in the south of Russia. Sharp rebuilding in the stream, turns in a skid and similar recklessness – this is the hallmark of these citizens.
And many of them are extremely vain. They are not enough of an audience that was “lucky” to see their road tricks live. The thirst for fame on the Internet makes them document their “exploits” on video and upload videos on social networks. The Sochi traffic police regularly demonstrate examples of an effective fight against this kind of highway robbers.
Fans of passing a bend with whistling tires or drifting on street asphalt are not registered there according to the toothless article 12.14 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, but according to much more serious administrative offenses. Did you turn the “nickel” in the middle of the roadway, walking along the markings with smoking rubber? Download the protocol under Art. 12.33 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation for “damage to roads, level crossings or other road structures”. It provides for a fine of 5000-10 000 ₽
Walked sideways in a fast turn at the intersection, wagging the stern of your Zhiguli “classic”? Well done! And now sign the resolution on petty hooliganism. This is 20.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. Punishment – up to 15 days of arrest. Even if they do not “lock” you in a cell for several days, you will not be able to leave the place where your vehicle was stopped by the police in half an hour. Since the hooligan article implies detention for a “day”, only the court can determine the punishment for it.
So even if you eventually get off with a fine, you will first have to spend a lot of time on a forced trip to the justice of the peace and the associated procedural rituals. The next time you think: do you need to repeat all this rigmarole for a few seconds of adrenaline under screeching tires and fleeting fame on social networks?
