The Senate against the "flashers»

The Federation Council has prepared a bill to reduce the number of officials who will be authorized to spetssignalami on cars. Right to "flashers" are invited to leave only for special services and persons "with special status". According to one of the sponsors of the bill, the chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Industrial Policy Zavadnikova Valentine, the main problem spetssignalov is that they can enjoy a huge number of officials. This, in turn, creates serious problems on the roads of the country. Recent accidents involving cars equipped with "flashing lights" - proof of that. Among other things, the level of popular anger rolls over, and particularly zealous activists are already satisfied with demonstration races on the roofs of critical vehicles. Therefore, according to the senator, spetssignalami must be equipped with a machine identification signs police, fire service, Emergency and ambulance services. In this case, Interior Ministry will be able to use the "flashers" and in cars without tsvetografii for operational work. It is also proposed to allow use spetssignalami heads of territorial divisions of the police and security services. Among the senior officials "flashers" would be put to the president, the supreme judges, the State Duma speaker and the Federation Council and so on. " To list everyone who enters the section so forth, "the senator did not. What sort of, by itself suggests that fundamentally the current situation has not changed. Well, maybe take away a couple hundred "flashers" in which a vice-president of Lukoil, and confine it. Another thing is that the bill finally provides specific definitions and introduces such concepts as "special vehicles", "special vehicle", "device to make a special light signals", "device to make a special sound signals," Color codes ", and also makes it clear to whom and under what circumstances the driver must give way, and someone - no. It is interesting that such a project was submitted to the Duma in November 2007 by the same committee of the Federation Council, but did not even the first reading. Parliamentarians did not want to deprive themselves of such pleasures as a road without traffic jams. Now, according to Zavadnikova, the Duma sent an updated version taking into account the changes occurring in the legislation. Against the "flashers" spoken and Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov, who said that in a country other than ambulances, the Emergencies Ministry, police and fire service should only be three cars with spetssignalami - the President, the Prime Minister and Patriarch. "The rest of" flashers "generally can not be put in order not to complicate the movement in Moscow - said the mayor. - "Flashers" are double damage. First, stop motion, and secondly, those who ride in these cars at high speeds, do not see the problem of traffic jams, not to notice that the city is worth it. " To the question, whether he travels by car from the mayor spetssignalami, Luzhkov has joked that, they say, has long been on them to surrender, but he was immediately given the machine maintenance. Officially, at this point in Russia recorded 966 "flashing lights", not including emergency services. Most "beacons" from the FSB (230 pieces) and MIA (142 pieces). And nothing, but his "flashing lights" have got absolutely all the ministries and the majority of their subordinate units. 50 spetssignalov assigned to the Kremlin, 25 - for the White House. The Council of Federation 8 beacons, and in the State Duma deputies - 12. "Flashing lights" identified even Hydrometeorology, Rosstat, Rosnauka, State Archive, and others. In fact, vehicles with flashing light is much greater. Not really straining "hunters flashers" with radio "Silver rain" counted 1,240 units. There is a suspicion that the State Duma of slightly more than 12. So far in exaggerating the quota had confessed only to the MEP. There, instead of the one spetssignala available there for two. For the needs of management.
