We decided not to spoil new year's Eve mood and tell about all the unpleasant for motorists to laws that will take effect next year, in advance.
In recent years, the State Duma has adopted an unusually large number of laws and regulations of the government, the entry into force of which has been delayed until summer of next year. Why? We are beginning the election season: in December, elections to the State Duma and local authorities will be held, and in March 2012 we will vote for the Russian president. If we introduce unpopular laws at this time, it is possible to cause public discontent and to spoil the reverent image of future elections. There are no other understandable reasons for postpones by the year, according to the experts, simply not. Laws and regulations are extremely unpleasant for the electorate. In most cases, we are talking about raising taxes, fines and introducing unpopular, draconian measures. Many of these documents are directly related to motorists. I will tell you about the major innovations that we are expected to make. I'M GIVING YOU A TICKET. So, as of July 1, 2012, parking at a pedestrian crossing, bus stops or sidewalks will cost between 1 and 1,500 people. Rub. (instead of current 100-300 rubles) ). This is Russia's average. The residents of the two capitals, as well as guests of Moscow and St. Petersburg for parking or stopping where it is forbidden by sign or layout, will pay 5,000 already. Rub. The same fine for Muscovites and peter burgers was provided for stopping and parking of the first row, on tram tracks, stops of block transport (and closer to 15 meters), as well as on the pavement. The same amount will cost the parking lot longer than five minutes in the residential areas of the two capitals. When this law was held in the State Duma (for discussion and approval of one day), the deputies explained the need to postpone its entry into force for a good year: in this time cities should create the necessary number of legitimate places in the parking lot. However, for example, in Moscow, intercepting parking areas are only designed, and the newly introduced lanes for public transport have survived parked cars on the neighboring streets, where they are now going to go. The city authorities promised to compensate for the new parking places seized from the pavement (in particular, on Leningradsky Avenue) by new parking spaces, but only posts on the edge of the road were replaced. To organize the car park of the State Duma from one of the main highways of the capital, five rows were taken off; due to this, in particular, it was necessary to change the organization of traffic in the center of Moscow. One fact is already good enough to describe the attitude of deputies to the problems of ordinary people. By the way, in Soviet times, the cars of State Secretary of the State plan located in this building, there was enough patio for the parking lot. The first of June will end in a moratorium on technical inspection, and the law establishing new rules for the conduct of the law will come into force at the same time. It is already clear that the procedure will increase significantly (for now, as the cautious deputies assume, up to 2-3 thousand dollars). (roubles) and it's not gonna make it any easier. So, if there is a possibility to undergo a technical examination this year, it is better not to postpone. As early as July of this year, the government increased by 10-50% the territorial ratios on OSAGO for 169 out of 299 cities in Russia. The OSAGO policy and owners of motor vehicles with a capacity from 50 to 100 liters were also irrigated. as well as for young drivers with little experience. Insurers ' fees increased by 22%. But this small government is already considering a project agreed with the Finance Ministry to increase the limits of payments and tariffs. The goal is to raise the limit of payment for damage to life and health of the injured in the accident from the current 160,000. Up to 500,000. Rub. The damage to the property was affected by the accident. up to $400,000. Rub. At the same time, the price of the policy itself will also be increased! By the most conservative estimate, one and a half times. The decision is expected to come into force in the summer of next year. But will it be easier for the victim to get the money from the insurance company? I don't think so. The bailiers were not left behind. According to First Deputy Director of the Federal Service of the Judicial Police Sergei Sazanov, a bill is being prepared which will allow to take away from defaulting alimony or loan debtors a driver's license. The official is sure that the right to manage any kind of transport is often the only thing that can be deprived of a person who does not want to pay debts. According to S. Sazanova, the document has already passed a number of examinations and negotiations and will soon be submitted for discussion by State Duma deputies. His action will begin. Right, just since the second half of 2012. In addition, Russia may return to the forgotten practice of taking account of traffic violations: there will be a return of tickets, where the inspectors will have "penalty points". This was stated by Chairman of the State Duma Committee on the Legislation Vladimir Pligin, Censor.NET reports. "I think that this issue will not be raised in the framework of the State Duma's current work, but in the next political period our colleagues may return to it," he said. And it's not all bad news! In July this year, the government's expert group for the Strategy 2020 decided upon which means to develop the road system: it is necessary to take money from the motorists again. Although transport owners currently cover about 40% of the budget for the road system (30%-fuel excise duty, 10%-transport tax). But this is not enough, so the excise duties on fuel in 2012-2015 will increase by 3 rubles per liter. The tax code stipulates that the rubles will be at the level of 70.8 rubles ($1). Then almost a third of the petrol retail price will go for the construction and repair of roads. In addition, parking fees in municipal parking areas will be available for this purpose. By the way, I remind you that in 2012, in some regions (still called ten to twelve), the introduction of a single real estate tax may begin. Its rate is, as promised, to be 0.1% of the market value of the property (it may grow in the future). A lot of it, or little, is not clear yet, because no one has explained who and how will regard this as the "market value". Some deductions are also promised, but it is clear that the new tax can hit the pockets of all, including motorists. You will have to pay for the right to own not only the apartment or the villa, but also the garage ... Opened in principle, the reasons that prompted deputies and officials to take unpleasant measures are known. The revenue part of the budget is now about 5% and does not want to decrease-even though the price of oil (sales taxes is the basis of the budget) is quite high. If it goes down, all the social programs in the budget, as well as spending on organizing major international sports events, may be at risk. It is clear that the state is trying to spur the conundrum and is making up different kinds of new taxes and fines. It is often the easiest thing to remove from the car owners-they are, from the point of view of the state, the most prosperous. You have a car! Although there is another way to replenate the treasury, at least to try to fight corruption, which has reached an unseen scale. Even the president has to state that only on public procurement we annually steal more than 1 trillion rubles. And that's just the tip of the iceberg ... However, the fight against corruption is a serious and dangerous task. It is much easier to assign additional fees from the population-from small businesses, gardeners, smokers, etc. Only I think it's the wrong road. It will not lead to a "bright future". Here's another example, one last thing. Even the "obsession" of the sad news cited above will soon become very important, because the increase of excise duties on alcohol and tobacco products will be increased. Excise duty on ethyl alcohol will be raised from 254 to 300 rubles per liter from July 1, 2012. In addition, it will be added by 100 rubles. per year. As a result, the minimum price of a half-litre of vodka is currently set at 98 rubles. It will be up to 108 rubles ($1). In 2015, the dollar rose by 24 kopecks to 84.12 rubles. But that's what I'm saying.
