In the first three months of 2022, Moscow traffic police cameras captured more than 400,000 drivers violating the rules for talking on the phone while driving, using seat belts and transporting children. Almost half of this wave of decisions were fines “for the belt” – 203,000 units. Second in terms of “popularity” is talking on the phone while driving – nearly 180,000 drivers penalized. The remaining “letters of happiness” – some 18,000 – are related to violations of the rules for transporting children.

The last time officially about the number of Moscow traffic police cameras that can be fined for not wearing a seat belt or talking on the phone while driving was reported about a year ago. Then their park was 362 pieces. Since then, their number on the roads of the capital has certainly increased.

We remind that under Art. 12.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, the fine for a driver who has not fastened his seat belt is 1000 ₽ And Article 12.36.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses states that 1500 rubles will be recovered from him for violating the rules of use of the phone by the driver of the vehicle. So, for the first quarter of 2023, the camera of the capital’s traffic police “shaved” from motorists about 203 million rubles “for a belt” and about 270 million “for a phone”. We believe that by no means all those sentenced have paid the fines. And many of the drivers who already did took advantage of the 50 percent discount. But even taking into account such circumstances, the amounts that the traffic police of the capital “earn” still seem impressive.
