Drivers in Russia may begin to be fined 1.5 thousand rubles for smoking electronic devices and disposable cigarettes while driving. If the amendments are adopted, the cameras will also record what is recorded on the smartphone: correspondence, videos, etc.
According to Mash, changes may affect clause 2.7 of the traffic rules. According to it, the driver is prohibited from using the phone unless there is a stand that frees up his hands. The cameras record the violation when they notice a smartphone near the ear. Now the Ministry of Transport proposes to expand the list of prohibited devices to “all devices.” After all, your hands should be completely free.
As the National Automobile Union explained to us, we are talking about electronic cigarettes, pipes, telephones, and so on. If you get caught on camera, you will receive a fine of 1.5 thousand rubles. The issue of regular cigarettes is also discussed, but it needs to be considered separately. In general, the measure will affect everything that occupies your hands. The project is at the stage of public discussion, it will be finalized until October 10.
