While we are talking only about Moscow

Russian drivers have long been accustomed to the fact that speeding up to 20 km/h we have not fined. Many use it: if the speedometer on the car is relatively accurate, then you can safely exceed the set limit by 15 km/h without fear of fines. But soon the "shop" can "to cover". In an interview with Autonews.ru he said the head of the Department of transport capital Maxim Liksutov.

a "We issue associated with the revision of the threshold of 20 km/h, put on the state Commission on road safety. We believe that this threshold should be revised to take account of the fact that it directly depends on the number of fatalities on the road network. I hope our colleagues will support us, any decision on this matter will be taken", — said Liksutov.

The official cited the experience of European countries which have readministered exceeding the threshold is 2, 3 or 5 km/h. thus the small error inherent in the camera that automatically fined for speeding. They contain the assumption 3 km/h.

It is noteworthy that because of the cameras a few years ago the Deputy Vyacheslav Lysakov proposed to increase nestrashnye the threshold from 10 to 20 km/h. As we all know, this initiative was accepted. Then the Deputy explained his numerous errors, which allowed camera images, which in turn led to the unnecessary penalties.

But you should also understand that the formal permission for exceeding the speed limit by 20 km/h can be convenient, but ultimately you should think about security. And if the area of the sign "40 km/h" to go 59 km/h, would it safer? Not to mention the fact that the maximum speed limit at 20 km/h it becomes meaningless (still all going about 40 km/h).
