The penalty for exceeding the speed limit by 10-20 km/h can still return

In recent years, Russia has a lot of discuss the initiative to abandon nestratova the speed threshold. Today you can get a fine only if you exceed 20 km/h or more. However, increasingly, there are calls to return to the previous threshold of 10 km/h Now on this subject spoke transport Minister Eugene Dietrich.

Mr. Dietrich suggested to look at the experience of other countries: "If we reminisce how it works in other countries, as a rule, the limit for nestratova threshold is +10 km/h. Traditionally it is +5 km/h or even no nestratova threshold. At the time this decision was made when we to a certain extent, reduced the speed, but give more nestrashnye threshold".

At the same time, the head of the Ministry of transport called for increasing the speed limit on highways, if such a possibility exists. He drew attention to the fact that now on high-speed sections of Federal highways, the accident rate is lower than those constructed under the standard 90 km/h.

to Increase the maximum allowed speed in that case, if the width of lanes, radii of the slope of the security tools on the site allows to be dispersed, and done correctly. In this case, the probability of accident and danger to life and health is minimal.

the transport Ministry and the interior Ministry still has two months to decide what to do with speeding at 10-20 km/h to 1 March 2019, they must submit their proposals for the introduction of an appropriate fine.

Before the head of the traffic police Mikhail Chernikov spoke in favor of the increase of the current penalty for exceeding the speed limit by 20-40 km/h. According to him, this is one of the most massive violations. The fine is only 500 rubles, and for the payment within the grace period — and at only 250 rubles. According to the chief of inspection, the size of administrative responsibility commensurate with the threat that violators are subjected to the life and health of themselves, their passengers and the surrounding people.

So the increase in fines is not far off.
