Police complained about the street racing

Capital police appealed to the Moscow City Council to consider whether to toughen criminal and administrative responsibility for the illegal races. Policemen are afraid that every year the number of accidents on the street racing increases. The Moscow City Duma will discuss in the near future the question of more serious responsibility for the organization and participation in unsanctioned street racing. In the Administrative Code may be a new article, which will provide for penalties for gang movement of vehicles on roads, streets of cities and towns, which interferes with movement. A similar idea has already expressed the Moscow police chief Vladimir Kolokoltsev. He offered to build a special road for car races, but for the illegal actions to toughen the penalties. Representatives of the traffic police say that an agreement with stritreysera over a single location of the races has not been achieved, as motorists, extreme abandon its proposed routes. In turn, representatives of the metropolitan car clubs wonder - no route options they were not invited. "Prior to toughen the penalties for illegal races, the government should offer us an alternative, where we could arrange a safe race. While no proposals separately from the government we have not heard, - says Alexander Street Racer. - We need not just a flat piece of asphalt, and a full playground, where you can park your car, arrange for the band members machines for entertainment and, most importantly, there must be enough space for the audience that they were not literally under the wheels of the cars . Recall that in April 2010, representatives of automobile clubs of Moscow came to the town hall with a request to allocate route for high-speed races. History of 4-year-old repeats. In 2006, the night riders required to issue a special track. And that the government pay attention to their request, the young motorists staged demonstrations speed races, which blocked the Ring Road, the Third and the Garden Ring road, and even before the Office of the Moscow traffic police. A couple of months stritreysera allowed to spend a night race under the supervision of traffic policemen. In 2007, racers have identified the route in Tushino, where the racing organization took up the Russian Automobile Federation. A couple of seasons where everything went well - were held weekly races, championship, grand prix. But then the Russian Automobile Federation practically given up drag racing - the last two seasons, was held a few events in the half-closed form. In addition, the trail stopped in Tushino meet the security requirements - the section of asphalt there was so short that the powerful cars of participants were unable to ottormazhivatsya and flew out onto the lawn. Due to the fact that the level of technical training for participants in official races up so that "a little" tuning car the way there has been ordered, illegal races were quite active, and spectators assembled there many times more. In Moscow alone there are dozens of car clubs who arrange night race. Because of bad management were several incidents of human life. Thus, in mid-October street racing while racing on the Sparrow Hills crashed into a parked car, hit the three girls. In September, the races in the Tsarina rammed a crowd of spectators, killing one person was killed and five wounded. And this is just sensational accident, except in cases where drivers can not cope with the management of the car and take off from the road or crashing into anything. Now the organization of illegal racing is positioned as a violation of the established order of organizing meetings, rallies, demonstrations, marches or pickets, and falls under Art. 20.02 Code of Administrative Offences, which involves imposing an administrative fine of 10 to 20 times the minimum wage for the organizers, and from 5 to 10 minimum wages for the participants.
