What roads should be given priority in funding? This question is not as simple as it might seem at first glance.Sergei Zinoviev “Behind the wheel”

— The question on the article about the future of our roads. You write that the highest authorities give priority in funding to Federal highways. But that is as it should be?

— That may be so. But the highest authorities put before local an impossible task: to maintain the regulatory state is much more miles for less money than allocated for the maintenance of Federal highways. For this reason, everywhere is so popular patching. In the spring somehow plastered the holes out again, and the number and size of them are growing faster than funding.

In this approach, a further deterioration of the local road network are guaranteed. No road will survive 40-50 years without major repairs, although such roads in the country is — and a lot of them.

In a long trip on the dashboard indicator low tire pressure. Found in the trip computer menu the “layout” on the wheels — the system of control was indicated on the rear right. The pressure in this tire was only 0.1 bar lower than the rest. However, electronic intelligence is considered that this greatly and decided to attract attention.

Not lazy just in case, and checked the visual condition of the tire: the wheel was all right. And for several hundred miles the tire pressure did not fall, although the lamp continued to burn. A few days later it just as suddenly extinguished and no longer lit up.

Stole a truckload of toilet paper. Also to blame for the coronavirus

In Gorno-Altaisk there was a funny hijack of a Toyota Carina, whose owner did not even realize that the car being kidnapped.

As told in the local police, they were contacted by a man who said that he stole the car. Found it this morning when I didn’t found the cars near the house. That was the day before, he didn’t remember.

Police quickly found the stolen car the hijacker continued to drive it on city streets. Behind the wheel was 33-the summer man who is earlier judged for theft.

According to the detainee, the car he found on the street already with the engine running. Driving the car was empty, so he decided to drive it home, so tired to walk and cold.

The cars of defaulters will be tracked by cameras, stop and transfer the property bailiffs for sale.Elena Alekseeva

Traffic reduces communication with drivers: there is also a special mode

Malicious debtors often go aggressive, provoke accidents, so the sooner minimize their presence on the roads, the better. The police explained to the regions as to exclude from traffic cars of malicious defaulters of penalties. Cameras the vehicle of a debtor keep track of on the road, then stop in place and call the bailiff. He brings the car, and if the debtor does not repay the fines, the vehicle put up for auction. Part of the obtained from the sale of assets goes to pay off the fines.

Already arrested 17 car 73 Dodgers, became known to “Kommersant”, but their owners do not hasten to extinguish the debts. So soon they will take the Agency that implements these cars through auction. Identify cases where, for example, the defaulter owns a whole fleet of cars, leasing them, and in one case, under threat of seizure of the vehicle, the debtor immediately paid the entire debt — more than 1 million rubles.

Meet the debtors with the “weights”. Thus, a motorist not only that has accumulated fines of 3.8 million RUB, and went without the rights, is on the register of drug addicts, and is serving on the decision of the court of administrative arrest. His car is arrested and sent for implementation.

However, there is a problem with debtors who are already dead, and their cars go the other citizens (perhaps acquired the car by proxy, but not recorded). In this case to prosecute the owner impossible. Early information about the dead accumulated in the registry office, but then the account was transferred to the Federal tax service, and the end of 2018, she shares the information with the traffic police. Therefore, cars that are registered for the dead, began to identify more — have already discovered more than 300 such machines. The movement of such vehicles monitor camera: if you stop the inspector withdraws rooms and STS (for later destruction), and sends the car to the impound lot. Driver draw on article 12.1 of the administrative code for the control of a vehicle “is not registered in the established order” (500-800 RUB the fine for a first offense, 5 thousand rubles or deprivation of rights repeated). Also make the penalty for driving without insurance in case of death of the vehicle owner for the contract “avtograzhdanki” is terminated automatically.

There is a problem with malicious debtors: often they practice aggressive driving, but if a driver will immediately pay the fine, impound the vehicle he did not have rightsabout, and he’ll continue to ride it.

The most malicious debtors live in Chechnya, Moscow, Moscow, Volgograd, Samara and Tver regions. In these regions, the police sent letters with the requirement to organise the raids, to identify the routes of movement, stop, and pass them to the ushers. Later, these instructions will be sent to all regions.

However, due to the unpredictable dynamics of the coronavirus all the planned activities can be delayed.

• To deal with debtors also plan with video cameras, which integrate into the led beam beacon on the vehicles of traffic police.
