Police may cancel the 50% discount for prompt payment of the fine

19 December 2018

In Tatarstan started talking about the cancellation of a favorite with motorists benefit

Many motorists are actively using the preferential payment of fines: within 20 days to pay with 50% discount. But soon the "shop" can cover. Such an initiative was expressed by President of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov.

the Position of the head of the region supported the Head of Department of traffic police of Ministry of interior in Tatarstan Lenar Abdurahmanov. He noted that with the introduction of the discount increased the number of violations. So, if before speeding 20 to 40 km/h accounted for 70 % of the total number of fines, now 94 %.

This suggests that the drivers of "relaxed". Think of it, the penalty will be discharged for 500 rubles! It is possible to pay only 250 rubles, but is it the money nowadays. And what Russian does not love fast driving?

In the Duma has reacted ambiguously to the initiative of Tatarstan. First Deputy Chairman of the Duma Committee on state construction and legislation Vyacheslav Lysakov and in combination the Deputy of "United Russia" called the idea "political provocation". He drew attention to the fact that "this is one of the few laws that the people are thankful to the authorities".

Mr. Lysakov appealed to the fact that against the background of rising VAT, increasing retirement age and other unpopular reforms discount on the fines remained virtually outlet. The Deputy also drew attention to the fact that in case of cancellation of benefits will be delayed terms of payment of the fines will be added to the work of the courts, bailiffs and the traffic police.

Surprisingly, in the Duma somehow, thinking about the reaction of the people to the abolition of discounts. While other high-profile reforms in 2018, caused a lot of excitement, passed.

But the really amazing another fact: Vyacheslav Lysakov puts in the forefront the mood of motorists and absence of unnecessary red tape from government agencies. But where is the concern about security? Fines and invented in order to make the roads safer (no matter how desirable some motorists think that the purpose of "extortion" is just the collection of bribes from innocent drivers). In this Rustam Minnikhanov can be damn right that society is designed so that many of its members begin to pay attention to laws and rules only when a breach affects their personal wallet.
