To help the ambulance
The bill of the Chairman of the state Duma Irina Yarovaya (“United Russia”) on fines to motorists for refusing to miss an ambulance the government generally approves, but recommends to improve. A draft opinion (“Vedomosti” familiar with it) on Monday approved the Commission of the White house on legislative activities, confirmed by several interlocutors in the Duma apparatus. The bill was passed by the Duma in the first reading on June 16, the deadline for submission of amendments to the second reading until the end of the week.
Amendments to the Code of administrative offences (Cao) establish improved responsibility for nepropusk ambulances, which resulted in the provision of medical assistance in time. Now article 12.17 of the administrative code provides for failure to provide advantage in movement to vehicles with flashing lights a fine of 500 rubles or disqualification for a term from one to three months. Yarovaya also proposes to fine violators in the amount of 30 000 RUB, with mandatory disqualification for a term from six months to two years.
In addition, Coupe will be a new 6.2-Prim “Obstruction of medical assistance” for which it will be possible to penalty in amount of 4000-5000 rubles or administrative arrest for up to 15 days. Same article, another adopted in the first reading the bill Spring, should appear in the Criminal code and prescribes as punishment the penalty to 40 000 roubles, obligatory works for the term up to 360 hours, or arrest for period before four months. If the patient had died on the road, the perpetrator can be sentenced to up to four years of imprisonment. On this bill the opinion has not yet been reported.
The government in the draft opinion recalls that the penalty of deprivation of the special right to appoint a judge to the same project does not define the persons authorized to draw up protocols of violation. The lawyers of the government believe that the bill requires revision in accordance with the requirements of article 83 of the Budget code in connection with the expected increase in the number of persons subjected to administrative arrest, and imposing on the police the powers to draw up protocols on administrative offense. Earlier, the government did not support the bill of United Russia Andrei Palkin, who offered to be fined for nepropusk any special vehicles.
Efficiency from the adoption of the law will be extremely low: the main problem is the lack of inevitability of punishment, said the Deputy Chairman of the movement “Freedom of choice” United Russia Vyacheslav Lysakov. There are objections that the bill allocated only Spring soon, there are other machines whose delay may result in loss of life — it can be “Mosgaz” or MOE, the Deputy explains. Fines for nepropusk don’t work now and won’t work after the adoption of the new, he said. Sanctions will not work without fixing in manual mode, and inspectors on the roads less, said Lysakov.
Violators will also need to be divided into malignant and those who just couldn’t give in because of the dense flow, and this would be able to distinguish only video, he said. According to the Deputy, should appear in the Criminal code and provides for punishment a fine of up to 40 000 rubles, as of such large fines Coupe no. Can also be reviewed and sanctions in terms of deprivation, the Deputy noted. Press Secretary Spring calls of “sheets” have not responded.
