Council wants to reduce the retention period for notices

Today, the penalty for violation of traffic regulations is stored in the post office for 30 days. Soon this period will be reduced to 7 days. After this time, the email will be returned to the traffic police. On the planned reform of the writes "Kommersant".

the Author of the initiative were the deputies of the Samara provincial Duma. They drew attention to the fact that the Commission for administrative offences only have 15 days to review cases. So if the letter was in the mail 30 days, the Commission, if necessary, simply did not have time to consider.

it is Expected that the amendments drawn to the struggle with unscrupulous motorists who want to avoid paying a fine. For example, some specifically take the letter on the last day, and then another, and sends it to the traffic police so that it was as long as possible.

cunning Some go so far as to make the sending from another city. This is to ensure that the traffic police simply failed to meet the deadlines of the administrative code. After fixing the violations, the inspection is only two months for passing a new resolution. If the emails went back and forth for longer, the violator could avoid the fine.

At the same time, Kommersant drew attention to the fact that more than half of motorists do not take "letter of happiness": do they pay the fines.
