Fines are rising. Order will be more?

Fines imposed on Russian motorists and pedestrians, recently rose again. Russian State Duma adopted a law requiring motorist for not providing the benefits to pedestrian traffic will be punished by a fine of 800 to 1000 rubles. The size of penalty for this violation increases, at least eight times. Also, instead of $ 100 for violating the rules of transportation of people car owner will now need to pay a fine of 500 rubles. Under the new bill, failure to observe a stop, as well as parking on a crosswalk or sidewalk that creates an obstacle for pedestrians, shall be punished by a warning or a fine of 300 rubles. (Amount of the fine previously was 200-300 rubles).. If a pedestrian has violated the traffic rules with it will levy a fine of 200 rubles. Previously, such violations "owed" a warning or pay a 100 ruble fine. Even a cursory review of the new law is noticeable disproportion: the punishment of drivers was more severe than the penalty with pedestrians. And despite the fact that those and others - road users and pedestrians are often the worst culprits of fatal crashes. "Pedestrian - Driver": a long-standing conflict on the road, long-standing confrontation. The number of motorists who respect the "bezkolesnyh" citizens, not too large, otherwise the statistics would have been less colorful. According to reports, during the first six months of last year there were more than 35 thousand cases of pedestrian accidents, accounting for 38.7% of incidents reported during this period. Often these accidents are fatal pedestrian: in six cases out of a hundred. A total of 2008 casualties were more than 82 thousand walkers, of which 10.7 thousand were killed. However, the disregard for the safety of pedestrians is mainly the result of disregard for pedestrians themselves in relation to drivers and road safety. On this regard and said statistics for road accidents in Russia, where last year as a result of accidents, the perpetrators of which were pedestrians, killing more than 6 thousand people, and nearly 35 thousand have received varying severity of injuries. It turns out wine mutual. However, finding out who "started it" is no longer needed. The situation is that "inadequate" by Russian car owners are more than enough. Despite the increased fines, many drivers, from officials to "ordinary" car owners, "the law does not write," but the safety of other road users including pedestrians, of little concern. Fines is not correct, it is a problem samokultury, self-education. For this, alas, the roads are not fined. Little better and some pedestrians. Of course, you can complain that the roads are not designed to "bezkolesyh" citizens, and this is a problem the state level. Not every city enough underground and surface transitions, allowing pedestrians to safely cross the roadway. It is these transitions can partly solve the problem of traffic jams and congestion and decrease the rate of accidents on the roads. We have to admit that the state is not much concerned about the safety of citizens. But why, then, the citizens put their safety at risk? Almost every motorist faced with this every day: pedestrians, spit on his safety, cross the road in the wrong places, sometimes a few dozen meters from the pedestrian crossing. In this case, a pedestrian may even be very "caring" parent, who pulls a child's hand, exposing him to danger and accustomed to disregard for the rules of the road. Penalty in the amount of 200 rubles. for violation of traffic rules by pedestrians - is questionable measure, since the sum of many small. But it is not important in enhancing the punishment, but to make it inevitable. Only then will receive the "stick" to be effective. It's unclear just how will "catch" pedestrian violators. Placed around the sides of every few meters "cops"? Doubtful. Inevitability of punishment should be the main method of "reeducation" and the drivers themselves. However, how can we make the inevitable punishment where it can avoid the cost of bribes? Rhetorical question. In our country, proved in practice that the increase in fines - a measure taken in favor of those who own an instrument of punishment. Courteous drivers and pedestrians follow the rules regardless of the size of the fine. And those who are unfamiliar respect for others, the tightening will not teach common human rules. Besides, as correctly noted by, the severity of Russian laws is softened by not having their performance.
