Later, the traffic police leadership drafted a bill to punish offenders for speeding on motor vehicles in the 10 - 20 km / h where the guilty person had to replenish the treasury for 1500 Russian rubles. When exceeding more than 20 or 40 km / h, the driver is obliged to pay up to 3,000 Russian rubles, and with repeated violations, he was deprived of the possibility to get a discount at fast payment penalty. However, this proposal is not in force.

In the September live on "Autoradio" Vladimir Kuzin, it was decided to punish Schumacher car for speeding. In addition, the acting chief of the traffic police said that a large percentage of the emergency situation on the Russian roads is the result of non-compliance with traffic rules and failure to comply with speed. Statistics show that in 2018 the fines of about 81.3 million was recorded on the roads, motorists exceed the speed of 40 km / h.

Before you translate the law into force, the counselors in parliament are trying by all means to put forward their ideas and push the decision "for later".
According to them, you must first initiate reforms relating to the limit on a multilane highway. It is known that a fixed number of kilometers on the road 60 is set to high speed circuits.

Peter Shkumatov believes that such restrictions across Russia on the roads can lead to unpredictable consequences. "Road Coordinator," notes the current high-speed mode is maintained by a balance limit of 19 km / h, but if you change it to 10, it will lead the tense situation on the road. The driver on the highway will have to "keep pace" on the gas pedal and the brakes on standby.

Shkumatov also stressed that the majority of Russian routes is minimal restrictions, but to improve the situation on the roads are not marked.

It is well known that public meetings are often affected by this issue and frequent discussions will soon lead to a result. However, what the outcome of these changes will become clear only in practice.
