– As far as is known, the functionality of traffic cameras now allows the Ministry of the Interior to identify violators of traffic rules. If, when a violation of the rules is found, the car is also checked for the presence of an OSAGO policy, there are administrative consequences for the owner for both violation of the traffic rules and for the lack of an OSAGO policy, believes Smirnov.
He also said that the Central Bank is playing a coordinating role in the discussion of all parties involved on the issue of “room” penalties for the lack of a “car owner” of a car owner. In addition, he called “free riders” car owners who do not take out compulsory car insurance.
“The presence of OSAGO is a matter of collective security,” RIA quoted Novosti Smirnov as saying.
Typically, Mr. Smirnov, arguing for fines from the cameras for the lack of OSAGO, repeats almost word for word the arguments of representatives of insurance companies. At the same time, both he and she are silent about the problems with the purchase of a policy by owners of, for example, motor vehicles or trucks. Which forces the latter to travel without compulsory insurance. And the outrageous OSAGO rates for young novice drivers sometimes seem prohibitive – especially in those regions of the Russian Federation where the income level of the population is low.
For example, in Voronezh, in order to insure under OSAGO, a young driver will have to pay 31,500 rubles, for example, an old VAZ-2109. Despite the fact that on local advertising sites such a car is estimated at 35,000-150,000 rubles. For a young man, acquiring a policy is, of course, absolutely not interesting.
