Entered into force latest amendment to the Code of administrative offences regulating the activity of evacuation services. From 8 of August to evacuate the car, these services can only under the signs prohibiting stopping and Parking, under which hangs a special information sign warning drivers that operate tow trucks.
Recall that the idea to amend legislation governing the evacuation of cars and to limit the working enthusiasm of the workers movement, the deputies decided after the scandal with the so-called parmena, which is almost a day spent in his car, loaded on a tow truck. It was initially supposed to cancel the evacuation of cars parked in violation of signs or markings.
Thus to evacuate could only automobiles Parking the second row, at bus stops, tram ways, sidewalks and pedestrian crossings. The automotive community was in full agreement with this idea. But at the last moment the document has been amended, the wrecker left the right to evacuate the cars from-under signs prohibiting stopping and Parking. But provided that these signs will be installed information boards warning drivers about what exactly the car may be towed.
It should be noted that only in Moscow signs prohibiting stopping and Parking, installed about 30 thousand, and signage about the work of the tow truck is only 6 thousand. Thus, from August 8, scope of services move to shrink by almost 5 times. This does not mean that the wrecker will not work, they just focus their attention on those areas where such signs are installed. And they are mainly concentrated within the third ring road. In residential areas, the owners can sleep peacefully. The maximum that threatens them – fine. However, it is large. In June 2015 entered into force the bulk of the amendments. For example, now in the code, and no where else in the local rules of evacuation services stipulates that if it is possible to eliminate the violation on the spot, evacuate the machine is not required. Have in mind that if the driver went to his car before the tow truck with his car drove off, the vehicle must return. It is for this one who was issued the violation is required to attend to the last, that is until, until the tow truck will not move. Because only the employee may cancel the evacuation. And the decision was made not accidentally.
Very often the responsible person acted recklessly, quickly photographed the violations and raced to the next car. The result is the rescue of the driver had to track down the person responsible, and in the process of locating a tow truck was leaving. Quite often, took away the car from a place where yesterday acted alone rules, and the next morning there were new signs, changed the traffic management scheme has already been operated tow trucks. Now about the proposed traffic changes, new signs, the local government will warn motorists in advance – no later than 20 days prior to the installation of new signs or marking.
In turn, the wrecker has the opportunity to take the car parked in the handicap spot if the sign "Invalid". And for those who have installed a similar sign, not having this right, a penalty in the amount of 5 thousand rubles with confiscation of the sign.
The Government is preparing another document associated with the evacuation. It will have a formula for calculating the cost of evacuation. It is expected that after the entry into force of this document, local authorities will have to recalculate the established fees. In the end, the evacuation is not punishment, but a measure of restraint. Therefore, the cost of this service may include only those costs that are associated with its implementation. Income it is not intended.
