A dangerous turn

Novosibirsk road accident at one of the highest in Russia
The beginning of summer - the most hot it is time for staff GIBDD: school holidays
And the massive departure of Siberian dachas NA exacerbate the security on the roads.
At the "Business luncheon" in a Siberian representation "RG" GIBDD head of the Novosibirsk region GUVD Sergei Shtelmakh told about the measures taken to reduce accidents, and responded to questions from readers.
Russian Newspaper | The new ranking compiled interregional public center "For the safety of Russian roads", Novosibirsk took last place. Moscow has become a leader in the first six entered and our neighbors - Novosibirsk and Omsk. Meanwhile, back in January this year our city was in the middle of the table. What are the reasons for this drop?
Sergei Shtelmakh | The fall of the results was the beginning of the year, but not disastrous. According to statistics, Novosibirsk Region looks quite normal. Incidentally, this is the rating we have learned from the media - for information to us, no one asked, why take quoted official data can not be there. According to my observations, Novosibirsk different style of hard driving and lower the culture not only on the roads of the capital, but also from neighboring Siberian cities. On the other hand, how can the Novosibirsk area in which only cars last year added more than 50 thousand, compared, say, with the Ust-Ordynsky district or Buryatiey?
WP | June has always been the rise of child injuries on the roads - just after then -
second, as classes end in schools. It looks like the statistics this year? Shtelmakh | So far - optimistic, but the results fail sooner. In June last year managed to avoid a peak - it is the time we, together with public organization "Forpost" will begin implementing the program "Cardboard children". At verges in hotbeds of accidents installed figurines of children. This measure has caused great resonance in society. This year has been less negative feedback. Actually, quite a lot in Novosibirsk PSAs in our field, and we are here to a certain extent, "legislators fashion". At each intersection inspector will not, therefore, very important advocacy, educational work. Incidents will be less when the change consciousness and drivers and pedestrians. Not only compliance with the rules, but also mutual respect - pledge normalcy on the road.
WP | In Novosibirsk, a lot of scooters, run by children. The requirement to them until one - the existence of the helmet, and on compliance with the SDA and there was no question. What can be done here?
Shtelmakh | Forthcoming Russia will introduce registration of such vehicles. But at the local level, we already are working. Three months ago, among the first in the country have introduced measures: skuteristov now on creating an emergency, the plant cards, the attention received by the department for juveniles, in schools. For parents malicious violators will apply administrative measures impact.
WP | rules introduced transport of children - they must sit in a special chair. Do you track your situation?
Shtelmakh | Yes, the situation in control, in my daily violations of the rules reflected transport of children. At night record to one hundred cases. It happens that drivers stop hiding after the children, to avoid a fine. He, incidentally, a small - 300 rubles. Mainly engaged in advocacy work. In the last year of the 20 children killed on the roads, nine were passive participants - passengers. And respect the rules not so difficult and expensive: in addition to children's chairs have special devices, which are also certified. For our part, carried out the action - gave taxi companies, several children's chairs to
encourage them to abide by the rules of carriage.
WP | Irina Rogova wondered: "Living in Novosibirsk Academgorodok collected signatures to the requirement to install" Lying police "at pedestrian crossings major highways. This initiative was prompted by a number of tragic incidents in which pedestrians were killed. Your attitude towards such a solution the problem? "
Shtelmakh | Naezd at a pedestrian - one of the main types of road accidents. According to statistics, 60 per cent of the cases themselves are guilty pedestrians. But drivers often ignore the demands markings, signs. Installation of the so-called "Lying police" - this is a good way to prevention, but in certain places. Because of "lying policemen", established in violation GOSTa, the accident occurred. For example, when the obstacles on the road did not warn traffic signs. Most "Lying poly -
tseyskih ", installed incorrectly, we were able to eliminate. A new set, taking into account all the requirements.
WP | In Novosibirsk increasingly becoming a problem corks. Why not use this method to combat them, as the reverse movement, that is, changes in the number of lanes, depending on which direction the flow of cars more?
Shtelmakh | Traffic jams - it is a matter primarily to our road. We provide assistance whenever possible. I managed to withdraw inspectors "from the bushes" on the road. The city lights were applied to the stopwatch. Regarding reversible lanes - where possible, will apply.
WP | At bus stops and taxi stand hampered planted passengers - there really is not free to strip. Why not struggling with this?
Shtelmakh | responsibly declare: no category of drivers not remain without our attention. In including taxi drivers and marshrutok that in the pursuit of client create dangerous situations on the road. Violators force peresdavat exams last year from three transport companies withdrew the license. But they reregister and operate under new names - that we can not prohibit them. Hog and with wrong parking, but not too tough punishment, although it often creates a violation of cork.
WP | Parks incorrectly many motorists, but by what principle you evakuiruete machines?
Shtelmakh | Machines evakuiruem everything - not choosing. Previously was a moment: buksiruya car could damage the automatic transmission. Now select any car, parked properly. We work mainly in the city center, but sometimes to raid and remote areas. We emit four wrecker in the day, they can remove from the road only 20 - 30 cars. The decision always takes inspector GIBDD. On the other hand, we understand that parking spaces catastrophically lacking.
WP | reader from Barabinska Valery Gnetov asked such a question: "I bought a new car and wanted to move it to the old numbers. I refused, citing the disposal of the regional administration chief GIBDD. Is there such a ban, or a self-will of local policemen? "
Shtelmakh | This amateur - none appealed to us not received a car owner refusing to use the old numbers. But we did a prerogative of the regional administration, to avoid negative points on the ground. Your reader should write a statement addressed to me, and the issue will be resolved positively.
WP | Ten years ago, driving licences to buy, probably no less than to law. How now?
Shtelmakh | Tut difficult moment relates to the fact that we can not refuse to admit the person for the exam, which is not studied at driving schools. And if he had a friend in the inspection, the exam he most likely will give. When I became chief of administration, the first time to pass the exam was only a small percentage of applicants. Even my wife passed on the right with the second attempt. Now the first time delivers about a quarter of all examinations. But no plans no. We have questions to the driving school - now on our initiative to re-appointed them unannounced. Incidentally, in the Kemerovo after such re-60 driving schools were closed. And in Novosibirsk them now more than 120.
WP | The question of inspection: a man bought a car without a motor in the rear mud flaps - and was unable to pass inspected. Then something like a trailer, almost glued tape - and passed. Do not you find it, that such a formal approach corrupt dangerous?
Shtelmakh | MOT not spend GIBDD officers, civic organizations and professionals. The task of the inspectors - matching
nodes and aggregates machines, checking cars on databases. But in cases where auditors make unsubstantiated claims or allow violations of inspection procedures, please call our all-day phone confidence - 220-62-95, to report on such events.
WP | The question of novosibirtsa Sergei Vinogradov: "Are Allowed left turn when departing from the street Ordzhonikidze on Lenin Square? Judging by the traffic light signals - is prohibited, but many drivers turn, but they do not hinder the inspectors ".
Shtelmakh | The left turn is prohibited there, and postovye monitor these regularly stopping violators. Drivers turn quickly out of habit - the ban appeared relatively recently, last year.
WP | The question of Alexander Eliseev of the Oktyabrsky district. Last year, to remove from the register inomarku accounted hold in a queue in the district exam-registration department GIBDD two days. Whether the situation has changed now?
Shtelmakh | Given the continuous growth of registered motor vehicles, our staff is 55 per cent of the required. Thanks to Governor Oblast Council and the deputies who supported me and have increased our manpower by nearly battalion. Now there will be more officers everywhere, including the registration. For unloading we opened REO Kalinino region, will soon open REO Oktyabrsky district - it provides the registration of vehicles purchased in the showroom and Oktyabrsky districts Dzerzhinsky. Often working on the principle "until the last customer", on holidays and weekends. Work on the registration laborious, but we are confident that among the cars of the records in the Novosibirsk region, it is not stolen or nerastamozhennyh.
WP | Do I need to do you, tighten legislation on road users?
Shtelmakh | Yes, but very carefully.
WP | This method whip. What will carrots?
Shtelmakh | I think that the free ride for drivers could significantly reduce the amount of insurance. In addition, all must understand that existing regulations are mandatory. There are rules of behaviour in the theatre, on board the aircraft - the vast majority accepts them as a matter of course. The same should be on the road.
