Have you decided to go on vacation to the south in your own car? If you don't want to spoil your vacation before it even starts, I advise you to read this article. Today I will talk about the two most common divorce schemes on the highway, which you may encounter on the road. Tired of constantly watching how innocent motorists are spudded. I hope this article will at least save someone from such troubles on the road.

Today, the frank lawlessness of traffic cops, which they did in the 2000s, has gone down in history. Today you will no longer encounter the arbitrariness that was happening at the “famous” post, but the divorce of drivers for bribes is still quite effectively applied. Now the extortion of money is much more civilized and less intrusive than before, since the mechanisms for combating corruption, at the very least, have begun to work and traffic cops are periodically sent to places of deprivation of liberty.

All schemes are quite primitive and are designed for your fatigue, inattention, haste and desire to quickly get to your destination.

Divorce on M4 Don for marking or oncoming traffic

There are different versions of this method of divorce, but the essence is the same. I will describe the situation on my own example.

Passing the Rostov traffic police post at the address. Open, 1. When driving in southbound, the bridge is located in front of the bridge over the river Don.

Stops the inspector. I present the documents to the employee and he immediately, muttering something under his breath, leaves and takes a position at the trunk, behind the car.

At this point, I made a serious mistake and got out of the car before the employee announced his intentions or claims to me. I thought that he wanted to inspect the trunk and followed him so as not to waste time.

Further, the traffic police officer tells me that I violated the rules of traffic rules, and specifically I ran into the markings indicating the place where oncoming traffic should turn, that is, I sort of crossed the oncoming lane. I am naturally outraged.

Always remain seated in the vehicle until the inspector has made it clear to you what he wants you to do. If you have a recorder, rotate it so that it records your conversation with a traffic police officer. In 99% of cases, there will be no further dialogue with you, they will give you the rights and you will go further, saving your time and nerves.

Next, the acting begins. The traffic cop defiantly communicates with someone on the radio and there he is confirmed that it was my car that violated the rules and this was recorded on some kind of camera. He tells me that I am subject to deprivation of rights from 4 to 6 months. Once again, I confidently declare to him that I did not violate anything. Then we go to the traffic police post, to a separate “VIP” room, not equipped with anything at all. There was only a table and two chairs, there was not even an elementary laptop to present at least something in fact. Then the inspector sits down at the table and offers to sit opposite me - I refuse and take a position almost point-blank to him. Here the traffic cop is already making a mistake, since psychologically he is in a less advantageous position for pressing against me - I am on top, he is on the bottom)) After which I go on the attack and start bombarding him with questions: where the violation was committed, what time, who transmitted the information why they didn’t stop immediately on the spot, and so on. And at the end of my tirade (yes, yes, exactly tirade, since he could not answer most of the questions) I demand to show photo and video evidence of the violation and propose to start drawing up a protocol.

The police officer refuses to draw up a protocol, says that he personally does not have any materials on the case and they will be sent to the court at the place of residence. Gives me back my rights. in plain language this means that the employee jumped back, realizing that he could not receive a bribe.

Nobody will send any materials to any court, because they simply do not exist. Even if you theoretically imagine that they are, then at most you will receive a letter with a fine, and not a court! If you were not stopped exactly at the moment of the violation, then there can be no deprivation of rights, since it will be impossible to prove who exactly was driving the car at the time of the violation.

Scam for speeding

This scheme is similar to the situation described above. Only in this case there is a divorce for speed and you will be shown a fixation of your alleged violation.

The meaning is this. A traffic cop stops you and says that you exceeded the speed limit by more than 60 kilometers, which entails the deprivation of rights. Next on the laptop you will be shown real photo your vehicle at a fixed speed. But the point is that it is impossible to understand from the photo where it was taken or what the permissible speed was. In another option, the place will be known and a specific kilometer indicated, but the permissible speed there was, for example, not 90 km / h, but 30. You will be assured that there was some kind of sign and you did not notice it. Most likely, there was no sign, and the camera is “not officially”.

In this situation:

• Demand to provide a device for reconciliation, on which the violation was recorded.
• The photo should indicate the permissible speed and the one with which your car was moving. During a divorce, most likely, only the speed of the car will be indicated.
• If the camera is in one place, but they stopped you in another, then this is not deprivation, but only a fine.

Let's analyze the situation and summarize

All machinations with falsification of traffic violations are quite primitive and are designed to quickly confuse the driver. Since traffic cops are afraid of being caught at the moment of “processing a client”, they quickly retreat at the slightest resistance. Time is also an important factor, and time is money)). If you resist, then it is easier for them to let you go and catch another, more accommodating car owner.

1. Be confident. Don't show your fatigue. Take your time. Try not to be nervous.
2. During a stop by traffic police officers, never get out of the car unless absolutely necessary. The law does not require you to do this. If an employee begins to leave with your documents for no reason without explanation, remind him that he has no right to do this without your permission.
3. Do not obey implicitly all the requests of the inspector, since most of them are requests and not requirements. You are not required to comply with requests and this is not disobedience to a traffic police officer. For example, in 99% of cases, an employee does not have a legal right to demand you get out of the car, he can only ask to do so.
4. Do not play by the rules that the employee offers you, but try to impose your own (within the law), as this knocks the employee out of the worked-out divorce scheme. He asks you to get out of the car - do not get out, asks you to sit down - stop, asks you a question - ignore and ask your own, etc.
5. Avoid questions that are not relevant to the situation: where are you going, where are you working, etc. If the inspector realizes that you have money, he will cling to you like a tick))
6. If you are accused of some kind of violation, then behave confidently. Ask leading questions quickly and clearly. If you feel that the inspector "floated" in some topic. Ask the same question even more persistently and confidently. Require proof. Ask for a protocol.
7. If your violation was recorded by a camera, and the traffic cop stopped later, then let him know that you are aware that this is, at least, not a deprivation of rights. Then you will become uninteresting to him.
8. Record your conversation on mobile phone or communicate in the presence of witnesses. For example, if you are traveling with your wife, they stop you and drag you to the post, go together, the law does not prohibit this.

And last but not least!

Under no circumstances think about a bribe!

First, thinking about a possible ransom, if something suddenly goes wrong, you already subconsciously plead guilty. The traffic cop will feel it and devour you)

And secondly, do not give bribes, as supply creates demand. You will not give, there will be no one to breed. And if you really violated, then be prepared to answer according to the law if you want to live in a normal and civilized country.

Another famous place, where you can be bred for deprivation of rights for crossing a continuous line -.

Good luck on the road and have a good rest!

Surely every country wants to create high quality roads. This enhances the prestige of the state. Modern autobahns make it possible to expand the transit of cars and commercial vehicles, which ultimately brings in a lot of money, filling the budget. Realizing the importance of the issue, the Russian government gave green light for the construction of a route from Moscow to northern capital RF - St. Petersburg.

Today our attention will be occupied by the federal highway M4 "Don": paid sections, the cost in 2018 for the passage of certain categories of vehicles. We will find out the traffic schedule for toll sections of the M4 highway and find out how many of them have been put into operation.

2. Freight and passenger transport without a trailer and with it.
3. Cargo and passenger vehicles with a height of 2.6 / 2 m.
4. Trucks and passenger cars with a height of 2.6/3 m.

Let's find out how much it will cost to travel on the new road.

How much does it cost to travel on the M4 Don highway in 2018

All vehicles (vehicles) mentioned above can travel on the autobahn by paying the fare. This can be cash deposit or entry by T-pass card. It must be understood that the cost of travel toll road M4 "Don" 2018 for each category of vehicle is different:

If you need to know how many toll sections are on the M4 Don highway from Moscow to Rostov, pay attention to the map. The photo shows toll sections of the strategic autobahn, marked in orange. There are 10 paid sites in total.

It is relevant to know the possible ways of maneuver. The fact is that construction work can be carried out on the track in the summer. Many kilometers of traffic jams are created due to the narrowing of the road. Drivers have three ways to solve this problem:

1. Stand for several hours, swallowing dust and breathing exhaust fumes.
2. Drive around the problem area in the fields, which will significantly affect technical condition car.
3. Determine in advance a bypass route for the congested part of the M4 and use the hints.

note!

Now I'm driving along the M4 near Voronezh and there are a lot of toll roads.

Based on this, I had a question, are there any benefits for traveling through paid sections for people with disabilities? And then for the last couple of hundred kilometers I have counted 300 rubles. Went to pay for roads.

Strong (Tomeo)  Unfortunately, there are no such benefits:

disabled people, veterans, combatants, home front workers, rehabilitated, rehabilitated political prisoners, civil servants and social workers, deputies, ministers, the president, pensioners, orphans, students and are not entitled to concessionary travel (reduced travel).

hare travel on the M4 don toll road

Has anyone traveled to Teberda by car? | Topic author: Alexey

I am going to go in May by car from the North. If someone has experience of a similar trip, please share your impressions. Thank you.

Evgeny (Wynelle)   Traveled in July-August 2017. From St. Petersburg via Pskov-Moscow-Rostov-Cherkessk .. What exactly are you interested in?

Nemo (Carnia)  Evgeny, I'm wondering if there is safe parking on site? And how are things with the traffic police? In general, it makes sense to go by car, would you repeat it again?)

Evgeny (Wynelle)  Nemo, is there parking on the territory of Teberda? It’s so calm everywhere)) I would go with pleasure, moreover, I’ll go exactly the next year! Gai as everywhere...No different. Never stopped, for the whole trip once in Adygea

Nemo (Carnia)   Eugene, thank you! I'll think about it, otherwise I need to be there on 9.09. Everyone makes driving in a nightmare, they talk to Moscow license plates and the gays will rob and even worse. And yes, I would like parking on the territory, for peace of mind))

Evgeny (Wynelle)  Nemo, it's definitely nonsense about Gaitsov! Checked!) I was also frightened. There must be some kind of parking on site.

Nemo (Carnia)  Evgeny, thank you again, valuable information! I’ll call the boarding house, if there is parking, then I’ll probably move by car - I don’t like to depend on something, and I like to drive.

Evgeny (Wynelle)  Nemo, good luck! It is very beautiful in that gorge ... I will definitely rush there in the summer! Next..(

Nemo (Carnia)   Eugene, thank you! I’ll have to combine rest with work, I’ll drag a laptop with me, I don’t have a replacement yet, but I hope there will be enough time to master the beauties. Not the same procedures ...))

Igor (Oskars)  Nemo, Parking in the resort is good. And do not listen to anyone, people came from the Urals without any problems. And as for the Guytsov, you won’t violate it and there won’t be any problems.

Nemo (Carnia)  Igor, I'll try to take a fellow traveler with blablacar I've never done it, I can't imagine what will come of it. I hope to save on fuel.

Igor (Oskars)  Nemo, Flag in hand, from the Moscow region you will not get to Kalmykia. And it’s better to go around Adygea, alas, they don’t like our brother there.
And have a happy journey.

Nemo (Carnia)  Igor, something less enthusiastic in your words... Did you drive a car yourself?

Igor (Oskars)  Nemo, That's why I'm talking about Kolmykia. And Adygeya was just recently on the 14th of her passing. So that's what I said.

Alimbek (Cleta)  There were people there in cars from both Moscow and St. Petersburg. The road is generally good. Guytsy once braked, and then for a violation, and it was in the KBR on the road to the Elbrus region. We stood on the serpentine and caught who enters the turn with the intersection of the solid one. Offered for 1000 r. the question is settled.)) For all the time only then they slowed down. Follow the traffic rules and no one will dig specifically.
On the way to Dombay and in Teberda itself, they often stand with a radar. On the territory, near Alibek, there is a private guarded parking, which is locked at night from 20:00. But many parked on the side of the road next to the gate. Only once a man's window was broken. Apparently someone didn't like it. I myself have left it on the side of the road for the night several times. All is good.
If I go again, I think that again by car.
I drove through Rostov-on-Don. Overnight in Rostov at the hotel. Back with an overnight stay near Voronezh at a gas station. I poked for 5 hours and then another kimarnul in the Tula region. I drove along the paid sections of the M4. You are flying at 120-130 km/h. The total fare for all sections is about 400 rubles. one way. Save your checks! There, in one section, you show the previous check and you are let through. Throw away the check and you still have to pay. To Rostov in 12-13 hours with stops for refueling and a snack.

Svetlana (Emrys)  My husband and I are now resting in a sanatorium. We arrived on October 9 by car from Kirov. The car is parked at the central gate of the resort. During the entire journey, traffic cops stopped twice - in Elista and on the border of Kalmykia and the Stavropol Territory. And it's very convenient with a car

Alexander (Gafnit)   Svetlana, Svetlana, hello. I am also from Kirov. My wife and I are going to Dombay next year by car. Could you write in more detail how you traveled (route, duration, where you spent the night, etc.). Thank you.

Svetlana (Emrys)  Hello Alexander. Svetlana's husband, Eugene, is writing to you. Firstly, we did not regret at all that we went to Dombay. great views The mountains are mesmerizing. The mountains are no worse than the sea. Indescribable beauty. Secondly, the car is much more convenient, comfortable and economical. And now everything is in order. We decided to go there through Volgograd, and we went back through Rostov-on-Don. The distance through Volgograd turned out to be 2430 km, and back through Rostov 2510 km. The route there ran through the following cities - Kirov - Sovetsk - Yaransk - Yoshkar-Ola - Novocheboksarsk - Kanash - Ulyanovsk - Syzran - Saratov - Kamyshin - Volgograd - Elista - Stavropol - Nevinnomyssk - Cherkessk - Teberda - Dombay. The road is generally good. There are areas where repairs are underway, this is near Ulyanovsk and a small area in the Volgograd region. I liked the track in the Republic of Mari El (beautiful flat road straight to the Novocheboksarskaya HPP across the Volga), very good road in Chuvashia to the border with Ulyanovsk region. In the Ulyanovsk region the road goes worse, but also normal to the border with Samara region. In the Samara and Saratov regions, the roads are very good, you can safely drive 100-110 km / h. Yes, I almost forgot, there are a lot of video recording cameras in Chuvashia and speed limit signs are constantly posted, you have to be more careful there. There are cameras in Ulyanovsk and Volgograd regions. Then we go further, we drove through Saratov along the bypass and rush to Volgograd. Volgograd is a city of millions, stretching along the Volga for 100 km, and this city does not have a bypass road, you can’t go around the city in any way. Most best option travel along the Third Longitudinal Street of the city of Volgograd, while you have to re-enter the city and drive around the city several times. We were surprised by the roads in Volgograd itself. It seems to be a hero city, but the roads in the city itself are disgusting, only potholes and potholes, everything is broken. We weave along Volgograd for an hour and a half, finally we leave the city and keep our way to the capital of the Republic of Kalmykia - the city of Elista. From Volgograd to Elista 365 km, a wonderful flat track, not a single locality, not a single tree, desert all around, only herds of sheep and cows graze, no cameras, no traffic police, no one. And now, after the desert, the city of Elista appears - the capital of Kalmykia. We are entering the city. The city is small, 100 thousand people, mostly poor people. But Kalmykia is a Republic where the religion of Buddhism is practiced. Khurul was built in Elista - this is a huge beautiful building Buddhist temple, which on its personal funds built by former President of Kalmykia Kirsan Ilyumzhinov. It is very beautiful, impressive, it is impossible to pass by it. We were there during the day sunny weather, all the charms of the temple were able to see. We go further to Stavropol. On the border of Kalmykia and the Stavropol Territory there is a stationary traffic police post, they check and stop all cars. And here is Stavropol, we refuel and drive along an excellent highway to the city of Nevinnomyssk, then to the city of Cherkessk (this is the capital of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic). We are driving along a beautiful road, there are not only holes, but not even a single crack. The road is lovely. And so to the Dombay. From Cherkessk begin Caucasian mountains. beautiful views, snow-capped peaks the closer to Dombay, the higher the mountains. All arrived in Dombay. This is Russian Courchevel. Beauty is indescribable. Tall Mountain peaks, snow at the top, very beautiful, I want to look at the mountains for hours. There are many hotels and inns in Dombai for every taste and budget, there are expensive and not very expensive ones, locals offer housing, no problem there. Beautiful mountain air, purest mountain water. There is absolutely no dirt on the streets. When we arrived, we washed the car, and for three weeks it shone, not a single speck of dust. In Dombay, they work on mountain peaks cable cars, funiculars. You can get to the top of Mount Mussa-Achitara more than three thousand meters high. Three levels of lift. The first level there are closed cabins, the second and third levels there are just four-seater seats, they raise very high. The view from them is also very beautiful, not scary at all. Not far from Dombai, right on the highway, there are many waterfalls (Shumka waterfall), which is also very beautiful.

Svetlana (Emrys)  And now let's go on a long way back. We rested for three weeks in the village of Teberda, which is 23 km before reaching Dombay. We left early in the morning at 5 o'clock. We drive through Karachaevsk (40 km from Teberda) further to Cherkessk (93 km from Teberda), further to Nevinnomyssk (60 km from Cherkessk). Before reaching Nevinnomyssk, turn to federal highway"Caucasus". There is a pointer to Rostov-on-Don, we continue our way there. we pass by the cities of Armavir, Kropotkin, Tikhoretsk and exit onto the federal highway M-4 "Don". By the way, the route "Caucasus" is not in very good condition, the road is like a washboard. Drive along it for quite a long time to the Don highway. We leave on the highway "Don" M-4. The road is in perfect condition. We drive through Rostov-on-Don. The route runs along the outskirts of the city of Rostov without entering the city itself. Rostov - large city over a million inhabitants. We drive along Aksaysky Prospekt and leave the city. Further our the way goes along the Don highway to the city of Voronezh (565 km from Rostov-on-Don). On the whole way from Rostov to Voronezh, there was only one section of the road repair. Before reaching Voronezh, we turn onto the bypass road to Tambov. The road is a normal two-lane road. At Tambov, we turn onto the bypass to Penza. Not reaching 11 km to the city of Penza, turn at the sign for Nizhny Novgorod. On this road we go to the city of Saransk. From Saransk we drive along the highway that leads to Ulyanovsk. We go to the village of Chamzinka and go left through this village to the city of Ardatov. We passed Ardatov, ahead of the city of Alatyr (this is already Chuvashia). From the city of Alatyr it is better to go to Cheboksary, where the road is better. We drove from Alatyr to the city of Kanash and cursed everything, 100 km of broken road. From the city of Kanash to Novocheboksarsk. If you go from Alatyr through Cheboksary to Novocheboksarsk, you will still go to the hydroelectric power station across the Volga. We pass the Volga and rush along the Republic of Mari El to Yoshkar-Ola, then Yaransk, Sovetsk and Kirov, and we are already at home.
