The State Duma Committee did not support fines for exceeding the average speed

The State Duma Committee on Transport did not support the bill, which proposed to return the practice of punishing drivers for exceeding the average speed. According to Kommersant, such a measure will not force reckless drivers to comply with the rules, since between cameras they will be able to stop at gas stations or parking lots to reduce their average speed.

Deputies of the Vologda Region took the initiative to track average speed cameras. They proposed to introduce an experimental legal regime in their region by a separate federal law with the punishment of drivers and to conduct an experiment on one of the local highways on a 200 km section by the end of 2026.

To calculate the average speed, it was proposed to use the following formula: the length of a road section (with a fixed speed limit) should be divided by the time it took to overcome it. The fines would range from 750 to 7.5 thousand rubles, as for ordinary violations under Article 12.9 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation.

In 2021, the Supreme Court decided that it was impossible to specify an indefinite section of road as the place of commission of a violation and a specific location was needed. In 2023, the Ministry of Transport prepared amendments to the traffic regulations, but they did not reach adoption. The Interior Ministry has repeatedly stated that it is against the return of fines before the amendments are approved.

You can not be fined for driving: exceptions may be made for child seats

They plan to release drivers from liability if it is impossible to transport a child according to the rules.

Earlier that day, it was reported that a bill had been submitted to the State Duma, according to which the owner of a car recorded by cameras without a CTP policy would be fined no more than once a day.
