The traffic police were positive about the idea of reducing nestrashnye the speed threshold from 20 to 10 km/h. this was stated by the chief of traffic police of Russia Mikhail Chernikov. He called the "wrong" practice, when drivers choose a speed mode based on nestratova threshold 20 km/h.

Information about what "legal" speeding can cancel, pojavilas last week. 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" — the head of the Department of transport capital Maxim Liksutov.
