The head of the traffic police told about the new fine

The rules of the road periodically tightened, however, the roads are not safer. In the foreseeable future, the traffic police can impose a new penalty — for dangerous driving. The bill amending the administrative code, has been developed by the state traffic Inspectorate.

About the need to tighten the responsibility of drivers in an interview with TASS announced the head of the police Mikhail Chernikov. He recalled that the term "dangerous driving" was introduced to traffic in 2016. At the same time such behavior was prohibited. However, no liability was not provided.

It is assumed that for dangerous driving drivers will be fined 5 thousand rubles. The amount is very considerable: it is the maximum penalty for running a red light or speeding. Needless to equate the responsibility for these violations?

The first step is to remember how dangerous driving is. It can be attributed the failure of the rebuilding of the requirement to give way to the vehicle having the priority right of movement, rebuilding in heavy traffic or non-compliance with safe distance to the traffic ahead of the car. Also to dangerous driving is the obstruction of overtaking, sharp braking and failure side of the interval. It is important that such actions should lead to the creation of the risk of accidents.

Definitely dangerous driving deserves strict punishment, because it often becomes the cause of the accident. At the same time you must understand that this violation like no other will depend on the subjective opinion of the inspector. And here the task of the traffic police should be the fight against corruption and cane system. The police must remember that its main objective is to improve road safety.
