Road Wars in Russia: The situation is improving, but victory is far

111

Speaking at the 3rd World Ministerial Conference on Road Safety, held this week in the capital of Sweden, the head of the Russian Ministry of the Interior, Vladimir Kolokoltsev, explained that road mortality in Russia has decreased over the past decade, and by almost 50%. However, to say that this terrible evil in Russia was managed to end is premature. In traffic accidents, tens of thousands of Russians die annually. What needs to be done in order to minimize this indicator?

According to the minister, a tendency towards a decrease in the number of accidents and the number of their victims was also observed last year: they happened by almost 7% less than in 2018. In comparison with 2009, the number of victims of the “road war” decreased from 26 thousand to less than 17. And this despite the fact that on a global scale, according to the UN, deaths from traffic accidents do not decrease, but, on the contrary, increase. In Russia itself, during this time, by the way, the number of cars tripled. That is, quite real success is evident. But in the “wars on the roads”, victory is still far away. Every human life lost in peacetime due to someone’s reluctance to abide by the rules and the law is already an irreparable loss, and self-consolation with percentages and numbers is hardly appropriate here.



Apparently, the work is still enormous. At the event mentioned above, Kolokoltsev shared with his foreign colleagues an extremely ambitious intention: by 2030, “to reach the zero mortality rate in road accidents”. To achieve such a high standard, domestic law enforcement officials, lawmakers and judges will obviously have to continue on the path of toughening responsibility for unacceptable driver misconduct. First of all, for a “drunk” ride, which, without a doubt, is one of the main causes of road troubles and tragedies.

According to statistics, since the introduction in 2015 of criminal liability for re-driving while intoxicated, the number of riders caught in such irresponsible behavior began to decline in a year or two. And not because the law remained on paper: it just “materializes” in the form of specific prison sentences, and it works. Those who wish to have a criminal record in this way and lose the ability to drive a car are becoming less every year. However, such are still found. In the first half of 2019 alone, more than 27 thousand people responded for driving under the fly. 24 thousand of them were left without a driver’s license. 3 and a half thousand in addition are convicted and imprisoned. A slightly smaller number escaped with suspended sentences. In total, over the past year, judges made “disenfranchised” more than 150 thousand traffic violators. We compare with the statistics of the decrease in road accidents and conclude that the maximum severity in this matter brings excellent results.

Of course, the practice of punishment alone is not enough. It has long been proven that the quality of roads on which they either happen constantly or are an annoying rarity is most directly related to the number of accidents. More good and excellent tracks and highways - fewer accidents. An excellent tool against violators of traffic rules is the widespread introduction of automatic fixation of violations. With an impassioned video camera, you cannot agree “amicably”; you cannot soften it, you cannot deceive it. The questions here are different: that fines should be paid in full by all and always; and also that these fines should be justified, help to warn, and not be used solely to feed those whose accounts receive a portion of the funds. This should happen regardless of persons, positions and so on. The law is either one for all, or it simply does not exist.

Without a doubt, the authorities and law enforcement officers have enough various levers that can have a significant impact on the road situation in the country. Nevertheless, it is worth remembering that putting a police officer on each driver and sticking a video or camera under each tree or bush is completely unrealistic. Road safety begins with each of us - a pedestrian and especially a driver. Well, or it ends with us ... Only an awareness of this life postulate can make Russia a country with low mortality from road accidents.

    A tremendous amount of money runs by the stream from video cameras that record violations .. and I recently found out that this stream is directed into a private pocket .. and could go for the development of road infrastructure ..

        And officials found a way out. Why spend budget money, which is constantly in short supply, if you can attract “merchants” to work? So the budget will be replenished, and commercial structures (including those fed by local authorities) will be able to earn.
        Most regions are now starting to work under this scheme. Businessmen conclude contracts with the authorities for the equipment of roads with complexes for fixing violations - both stationary and mobile, as well as for their maintenance. And from each issued fine they receive a certain amount.
        In the same Moscow region, the MVS Group company, which concluded a state contract, will put 233 rubles in its pocket with each penalty receipt. Moreover, regardless of how much the fine is framed.
        Considering that this company, under the terms of the agreement, plans to establish a thousand complexes, each of which daily “receives” hundreds of violators, the fees received by the “merchants” are impressive - about 23 million rubles a day. Even if half of these funds will

          Well, it’s necessary, what a rainbow picture, according to the author, they’re growing there, but ours is falling. I have recently been very wary of presenting information, especially in such a bravura tone. But where is Russia really located? I looked. It turned out at the level of Honduras and Nigeria. But in the UK, Sweden and Germany, road deaths are 5-6 times lower.

          Indeed, real success is in Belarus, where the mortality rate on the roads is two times lower and the quality of the roads is higher than in Russia. This is despite the fact that economically Russia is a more developed country. It has also been observed that this indicator (road deaths) is the highest in countries with low living standards.

          Victor! This is a public-private partnership program. A private company buys cameras, then passes them to the state-wu, and in turn gives the company 223 rubles from each fine !!! Voila, in the face of a conflict of interest, if you look at what is in the founders of these companies, these are usually former cops, their wives, children, etc.

            Everything is known with these cameras, a familiar thing ...
            There are violations there and people begin to react correctly / reasonably ...
            Those. they don’t go with the fists of the right to download, but immediately a slander, for any violations. So you can at least achieve something.
            Now, from the signs of speed reduction, they began to remove the radar at the required distance and put warning signs!
            In the wilderness, from where they can’t get anywhere, they can, they can do what they want, or where the cops cover ... and so, beat them with their own weapons, by law.
            They want ... by law, it will be them LAW.
            Of course, our laws are largely against ... and they play for the "guardsmen", but a systematic siege always brings its results.
            In principle, this cannot fix the system, but many "nishtyaks" can still be broken off.
            So far so ... and we'll see.
            And yet, it is NECESSARY to observe traffic rules, it is vital! Just everyone complied.

              Everything is civilized, got on camera with a violation, immediately a summons for a fine, payment within 10 days. Not paid, to the court. And this is another money. And most importantly, silently, without screaming and nerves.

                This is understandable, reasonable .... the question is simple, these "catchers" should not hide anywhere, they should not place cameras immediately behind the signs and should display warning signs "video recording is in progress" ... we have more or less taught them to this. At first, the chaos was complete.
                And the rules, all the same, must be observed. This saves / saves from many troubles, from fatal ones too.

        There is a camera on the road, with a camera, a car and a car with a certain man. The camera records a violation of the excess of +21 km and gives a fine of 500 rubles. When paying a fine with a 50 percent discount, 250 rubles remain. Now the question. How much money does the state get with a fine of 250 rubles?

          Fines are passed through official channels, resolutions are issued by state inspection bodies, which means the state has its own "pretty penny" from this.

              Not our way. Prohibitive measures are simpler and rich. It is necessary (supposedly) to fight for the environment - they took the utilization of MSW out of the formula for the limit index of housing and communal services and raised the tariffs by 10 times. And in fact - even now, at least a little later, I can post a photo of a trash can near my house where new containers (obviously not cheap) and in 4 days of non-delivery, a bunch of packages have already crumbled for travel. How much of this "ecological" scam will leak out of there, one can only guess. Repair funds and their distribution have long been a "black hole", even photons do not return from there. So here it is the same - first they raise the prices, then the retirement age and then suddenly it turns out "as always" and "you hold on."

      No need to deny the obvious, everything is under construction, the only problem is that you want more and faster.
      Until 2005, in my city there was not a single two-level interchange, and there was only one road with a split flow, 6 km long - it was also called "America's five minutes". And this is to the regional center with a population of 1 million. Now we have more than 250 kilometers of such roads, more than 20 two-level junctions.

                    One of the reasons for poor roads is an outdated regulatory framework that does not allow road companies to use modern technologies in construction. Funds are allocated annually, but the companies that won the right to repair roads are not involved in improving roads, but simply copying European standards that are not suitable for Russian conditions. Do not forget about corruption in the construction of roads, which reaches 10-15% of the estimate. There are many problems, and a violation of technology, and not high-quality coverage, and inadequate maintenance of roads.

Snow falls, melts, slush forms, it breaks down to pits, where even at 30 km / h it is not a problem to fly over the ice to the oncoming lane. Trolleybuses are beating! Republican highways seemed to be bombed yesterday. You can try to blame yourself as much as you like, but it won't make it easier and safer. Is it because the "responsible" persons are slowly changing to helicopters, and we are singing tales that everything is fine with the roads, and "they are bad because the population walks in cheap Chinese shoes and washes the road surface."

        No need to listen to the crooks - for them to tell the truth is equivalent to confessing to a crime. Therefore, anyone else is always to blame, but not they.

      If you forget your rights, the Spanish police will fine you for approximately 500 euros. But if you dare to drive when you were forbidden to do so for violation of the SDA, then imprisonment for six months will become quite real.
      France.
      Offenders who decide to drive without a license are treated strictly, fines of up to 15 euros. If the offense was committed with aggravating circumstances, for example, the driver was drunk or arguing with the police, or this misconduct is not the first, then you can earn even a year in prison.

      For those who can forget the rights of the house (lovers), a duplicate certified by a notary who is grunting in the car is possible, so that the traffic police can make sure that the driver has the right to drive a car, and his forgetfulness associated with major circumstances (deliver a woman in a maternity hospital, a patient to a hospital, etc.) is not intentional.

The moral is simple: you lie a few times, they will not believe.
    Yes, I am a driver, I notice changes in behavior on the roads. They started letting in more often, saying "thank you" in response to politeness. But who shot down Prokurorov to death? Deprived of the driver's license, who got behind the wheel drunk. What to do with such? For some reason the word "hang up" comes to me. Almost every day there are reports of major accidents with several dead. And then a reduction in mortality?
    Something has rotted in our kingdom.
    And about mortality, so how to count. If you died on the way to the ambulance or the next day in the hospital, is it because of what?

      In our "kingdom" the "king" eyes "swam". In the sense, they are "blotted out". Most of the drivers on the roads, both professionals and amateurs, are adequate, polite and kind people who do not suffer from the mania "who is not in the car is the one." Many familiar drivers, often meet those who see icy roads on the road. brakes before moving in advance, making it clear that he is not trying to bring down a pensioner who has left the store.
      It is these academics of safe riding that suffer the most from riders on the road. I don’t know who should understand there, but a person who has hundreds of violations, unpaid fines and repeated detention (sometimes after deprivation of rights) for drunk driving just needs to be transferred to the “pedestrian” category for life.
      That is why, because the state is interested in lobbying the interests of sellers and only selling cars, spare parts and gasoline, and road safety consists only in collecting fines from “suffered” and “suckers”, the situation with accidents and road booms in a positive aspect will not be allowed.
      There is no interest in this.
      And only the directors of the series believe in honest traffic police officers who receive for their creations a very “decent” (higher than the regional average) wage ...

        An example from life: a man was driving home, drunk. He was in a bad mood. Two "representatives" slowed him down. Agreed. I gave the received salary (I worked as a welder) and plasma from the back seat (transported). He was released. After a while I "caught" a birch. For some reason, at a bend in the road, I drove straight. Passenger, 42 years old, died. He has scratches. Two girls were left without a mother. Wouldn't you agree?

    I believe that another factor in mortality is the safety of cars running on our roads.
    I was surprised to learn that the airbag has been installed on Niva cars only since 2020, and that it is not in the steering wheel, but on the side of the driver. How many classics are still in use?
    It should be prohibited to sell cars without 2 front airbags.

      This is due to the fact that, thanks to the efforts of the "guarantor", 25 high-tech jobs with high wages have been created in the country! And about the pillows ... I watched a couple of times how they worked on the go on the Samara "highways" ... the drivers had fun .. .and the BMW X6 did not work ... the car turned over, the woman turned the flippers (however, later it turned out from the horse dose of coke).

        The fact that the last 20 years is a time of missed opportunities I agree.
        Nevertheless, modern cars are much safer because equipped with both active and passive security systems.
        In my car, even the hood should shoot back to make it "more comfortable" for a pedestrian to fall.

    downward trend in accidents

    I've been out of traffic accidents for a long time (pah, pah, pah). But yesterday, in the trolley in which I was driving, a minibus got used to. No one was hurt, but the crash lane was interrupted.

    Mortality on the roads can be reduced very strongly if the entire intercity of federal significance is done with a physical dividing strip that does not allow exit to the oncoming lane. True money is needed crazy. But introducing this by law is simply necessary and to begin with, at least on newly designed routes.

      If you do not take into account Colonels Zakharchenkov and Cherkalin, who could finance this process, we can turn to foreign experience.
      On YouTube, I saw that in Korea they pull a cable, put plastic "barrels" on the cable. When the car hits, the barrels on the cable are damped, and rotating around their axis gently return the car to the lane. Of course, it works at reasonable speeds. I don't think it's prohibitively expensive.

    Drunk driving - a potential killer and the punishment should be the most severe.
    Video cameras are a source of profit. In Moscow, already on every pillar and in combination with the "correctly" applied markings, when it is practically impossible to avoid a violation, they bring huge profits to the Moscow authorities. The money goes to "improvement", it seems that every square meter has been covered with tiles. m. And who supplies this tile? And parking is generally a concentration camp. You cannot stop for 5 minutes; in the first seconds of the 6th, a penalty of five sput arrives. It's cheaper to park under the sign. Everything goes under the motto "left by car - pay a bribe"

    sticking a video or camera under each tree or bush is completely unrealistic

    This is the case now. Until not under every bush, but it’s coming to that. How much money comes to the budget from this! And they don’t give a damn about security!

    Yes there.
    Most of our roads are generally of poor quality, and there are many of those that are simply dangerous to drive on.
    And so what a misfortune with spare parts going on - this is generally beyond. Here both counterfeit and extremely poor quality products. A seized hub bearing can easily cause an accident. And the state seems to have completely removed itself from control over this, even if the ordinary citizen is responsible for everything.
    I do not need such a self-withdrawing "state".

        It is not "RF" who is cutting back, it is Putin and his company of partners who are cutting off.
        In general, it would be high time to move away from such phrases as "why WE ...", "why US ...". Who are "WE"? Personally, I did not cut social services and did not introduce new taxes. I think you too. Such imposed "we" serve to erode the responsibility of the authorities. This is wrong, you must agree that it is better to call things by their proper names. drinks

    Quote: Apparently, the work has yet to be colossal. At the aforementioned event, Kolokoltsev shared with his foreign colleagues an extremely ambitious intention: “to reach zero mortality rate in road accidents by 2030”. The end of the quote.
    This is an unscientific approach. NOTHING depends on Kolokoltsev. It has long been proven (60 years ago) that the death rate on the roads is determined by the level of motorization of the population. If the level of motorization grows naturally (as the level and quality of life of the population rises), then mortality naturally tends to the "zero indicator". This is a sociological law. Hence the conclusion: during a period of systemic economic crisis, the task set by citizen Kolokoltsev is unattainable, but if he knows that the standard of living of Russians will grow at an outstripping pace, then this is good (very good, long-awaited) news. However, it could have been reported not only to Kolokoltsev. If it were communicated to those who are ready to "put their heads on the rails," then the "set goal" would be achieved in accordance with the above sociological law, i.e. in a natural way. Another way is to manipulate statistics.

    There is no one method to reduce mortality in traffic accidents. This process consists of many aspects.
    1) Parenting from childhood. Recently I watched with children an English-language cartoon, either from the Super Simple Songs series, or LBB. In which the heroes wanted to go somewhere by car. And the following was sung in it: - We get into the car. Fasten the belt and turn the key. And not the wind in the mug, I .... ahem ...
    In domestic Malyshariki there is also a series about a car seat. And this is the right approach. Because car seats seriously increase the chance of survival in accidents, as do seat belts.
    In Norway, over the past 5 years, 0 child deaths in road accidents. You can certainly argue that there are 5 million inhabitants. But in the Krasnodar Territory there are as many of them.
    By the way, I noticed now that primary school students began to walk in reflective javelins.
    2) An increase in fines and linking them to the size of the minimum wage. (Ideally, of course, to the level of income, but salaries in envelopes ...) The increase is not to prohibitive values, but so that it is unpleasant. And tying to the minimum wage so that fines do not lose their relevance in size.
    3) Good roads. Accomplished in proportion to their workload.
    4) Reducing the tax component for cars with a large amount of security systems. There is a small and very subjective comment. He was the owner of a used car from Germany, the brand of which any car sooner or later became wink So there, with the weakest motor in the lineup, the simplest cabin and the smallest wheels. There were all security systems, not only basic, but also those that come in the form of options for a fee. Here, we choose the most powerful motor and the largest wheels from the options.
