Drivers quite frequently and completely voluntarily report to law enforcement about drunk neighbors downriver they have noticed on the road. The AutoView portal reveals scenarios of events that
An experienced (and not only!) motorist will immediately highlight a car in the stream, the driver of which is clearly in an inadequate condition. Sometimes the strange maneuvers of such a machine are caused by poor health of the helmsman. But much more often it concerns alcohol or illegal substances that the driver has taken along for the ride. No one wants to become a participant in an accident through the fault of such an inept person, and it’s a pity for the rest of his potential victims.
Therefore, any normal motorist in such a situation will try to contact the police so that they take action. If suddenly a traffic police patrol car is standing on the side of the road, you can stop and tell the inspectors about your suspicions about a drunk driver colleague. But it is better, without losing sight of the “drunk car”, to dial 112 on your smartphone and inform the operator about what is happening on the road before your eyes. Most likely, he will notify the traffic police patrols closest to you, who will look for and stop a suspicious vehicle. The following is their company.
But then what will happen to the caring driver himself, who reported “where to go” about a drunken colleague? Further events can develop in different ways. The easiest option is no ‘later’ at all: we drove on and okay.
More interesting consequences may come for the swindler in the Nizhny Novgorod region. From May 1, 2023, local authorities decided to pay half a bonus of 2,000 rubles to citizens who report drunk drivers. Not immediately. And only after the drunk person stops, drunkenness is registered and punished by a court decision. A similar financial incentive is already being used by the traffic inspectorate of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. There, after the arrest of a drunk driver, the “shooter” is immediately paid 4,000 rubles. This practice is not practiced in other regions of the country.
The third option is the least pleasant for the traveling journalist. It is possible in cases where the drunkenness of the driver of a suspicious car is not confirmed, or when he refuses to undergo a medical examination. In such scenarios, it turns out that the citizen who informed the police about driving under the influence gave false testimony in an administrative law case. And a defamatory (formally speaking) citizen can insist on punishing the offender under Article 17.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses – “knowingly false testimony of a witness”. It refers to punishment in the form of a fine of 1000-1500 rubles. True, under this article, the victim must somehow prove that the caring driver knew in advance about the victim’s sobriety from his signal to the “authorities”.
