While offenders can drive safely

traffic police has long threatened to introduce automatic penalties for no insurance policy. Supposedly the camera will learn to determine whether a particular driver insurance, in the case of a negative answer will be sent a "letter of happiness". With the current level of technology does not seem so complex, but its implementation has been repeatedly postponed. First it was about the year 2016, then 2017. Later it was said about a trial starting the system in September, 2018, then in November. And things there. Now in the Russian interior Ministry said when the technology will come into service.

How did learn to "Kommersant", the technology of automatic prosecution of drivers operating vehicles without insurance policy, is still "under consideration". What a surprise!

the interior Ministry blamed the unavailability of the new system not the old factors, chief among which is the complexity of the verification process of drivers. First, the system fotovideofiksatsii takes the car and determine its number. With his help, requested information to the traffic police about the owner. The police, in turn, should transfer these data to the Russian Union of motor insurers (RAMI), which should alert you about the presence or absence of insurance policy.

however, even after the system launch will not be talking about massive fines violators.

first, the first time it will only work in Moscow. So the residents of the regions until you can breathe again. Second, even in the capital, check drivers for proof of insurance will be only one camera. Read more we wrote about it in early October. Thirdly, even while she will not write a ticket. For the first time the system will run in test mode: violators will receive "letters of happiness", but they will contain just a warning.

In the end, panic about the penalties for no insurance while is premature.
