The “point” method proposed by the government to deprive drivers of “rights” meant the introduction of a new article in the Code of Administrative Violations: “Systematic violation of the rules for operating, using a vehicle and driving a vehicle.” Its essence boiled down to the fact that after committing three serious violations of the traffic rules, a driver’s license should be revoked for a year and a half and a fine of 10,000-30,000 rubles should be imposed on him.

Recall that in the USSR there was a practice in the literal sense of making holes in the VU for violations of the rules. When the driver had three “perforations”, the document was withdrawn. In fact, the principle worked: scored three points – violations – drive “rights”.

In the modern version of the points system, the government planned to charge them for 17 types of offences, including not allowing a pedestrian to pass, exceeding the speed limit by more than 40 km/h, driving on the side of the road , driving through a red intersection, and others. At one time, this amendment to the Code of Administrative Offenses was even adopted at first reading. After that, she fell out of the attention of the State Duma for a long time.

And now, when it was properly laid “under the curtain”, the members of the State Building Committee of the State Duma made a recommendation to reject the bill. With the wording that it is “not relevant enough”. It’s not even seven years ago…
