The document introduces amendments to Article 12.17 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation, which provides for a penalty in the amount of 1,5 thousand rubles for the movement or stopping the machine on the strip to block vehicles.
As told RIA Novosti is one of the authors of the document Jaroslav Nilov, the bill proposed to give the drivers of cars, carrying passengers, the movement of the right lane to block vehicles.
"The only condition of using this right is the carriage of at least three passengers in a light car. If a driver carries one or two passengers, then it should not be granted the right to move to a dedicated lane" - said the deputy.
According to him, an analysis of international experience in the use of strips of roads at different times with different number of passengers has shown that such a practice already exists and has proved the positive side.
According to the authors of the initiative, the adoption of such a law would reduce the number of vehicles on the roads and as a result will help in the fight with traffic jams, because people will not alone get to the place of work, and will try to unite to drive safely without the congestion of spetspolose on legally.
Talking about how all this will be administered, given that the cameras will record the exit of passenger cars on a dedicated lane and the owner will receive a "chain letters," with penalties, Nilov noted that there are different ways of solving this problem.
"If we conceptually support in the appropriate committee (State Duma) and the government, the rules of the road would be to introduce a special symbol, such as a square or a yellow flag, which will be mounted on the windshield. Accordingly, the camera will capture it and a fine such a motorist has not come, "- said the MP.
And in order to avoid abuse by drivers who will be hanging special signs, but a dedicated band of traveling alone or with one passenger, according to the Nil, you can set a fine is not the fifteen hundred rubles, and in the amount of five thousand rubles. Such offenders will be identified and punished according to the results of special traffic police raids.
In the case of the bill, the changes will take effect from January 1, 2013.

http://www.ogel-shop.ru 

 "We will only create a platform and service system, and plan to acquire the basic elements in Russia or abroad" - are in the press service of the words of CEO, "Sputniks" Andrey Potapov.The company is a resident of a cluster of space technology and telecommunications fund "Skolkovo" and received a grant to create an integrated framework for the development, production and use of small satellites weighing from 10 to 50 kg. Microsatellites to create the company plans on the basis of the designer Lego: Equipment mounted on a standard panel, connected to a common network and automatically recognized by the onboard computer.Microsatellites can be run both on rockets as a passing of the payload and cargo ships with the "Progress".Projects apparatus called the company "Sputniks» TabletSat.

Wrestlers are ready for another victory

Wrestlers are ready for another victory
Дзюдоисты готовы к очередной победе
The first four days of the Olympics were not too busy. We just thought that played a lot of medals, events, sufficient, and viewers only and remains that switch between different channels and rushing between the stadiums to watch the fun. In fact, to really swing games begin only now, on Wednesday in London, will play just two dozen medals.
Now, of course, we are doomed to watch judo. Apparently, the new Russian national team coach Ezio Gamba (Italians, it turns out, are able to train not only the football team) managed to bring our wrestlers to the next level. And we expect medals from almost any Russian, who goes to London's carpet.
On Wednesday, Kirill Denisov fits all, a young judoka representing the Chelyabinsk region. Mansur Isaev, who won the "gold" in the 73 kg category, incidentally, is also represented Chelyabinsk, so Denisov have someone to look up to. So far in his career 24 years judo great success did not happen - it can boast only "Silver" World Cup 2009. This, of course, a major achievement, but it is not enough to go to the favorites before the Olympics. But Isayev before the Games, too, did not take no one seriously - in the same world championships in 2009, he was generally only a third. That did not stop Mansour demolish all his rivals, and on the way to the "gold" to win multiple world champions. So throw off Denisova by his opponents would be unforgivable.
Another medal can bring a Russian team gym, where the environment will compete in the all-around men. The team competition ended in a fiasco, but it is, oddly enough, does not mean that Russian gymnasts ready for the Olympics does not matter. Simply, they are young (albeit in a gym that is unlikely to surprise anyone), and the psychological pressure is great - hence the common errors in simple cells. In all training exercises have been carried out perfectly, but the ending was too great a challenge. Do not be worried - and the result will be different soon.
In tennis, the drawing up of medals so far away, but because of this tournament, we expect at least one award, it is not surprising that great attention to even the first round. On Wednesday, if the weather does not intervene (in London at the tennis tournament is always the weather intervenes), Vera Zvonareva will check on itself, as far as serious about Olympic "gold" Serena Williams. More recently, an American on the same courts celebrated the victory at Wimbledon, so the Olympics, it will almost certainly ready brilliantly. If Zvonareva will be able to stop her medal prospects of our tennis players will be reviewed.

Now the crop forecast is about 80 million tons, a figure that, in the words of the Prime Minister, taking into account the carry quite satisfied with the state as close internal needs. Despite the heavy agricultural reports from languishing in the heat of regions, the government has not lost hope for a successful agricultural year. "In principle, the preconditions for the emergence of shortages of grain does not exist, but need to keep the harvest," - said Dmitry Medvedev at the meeting in support of agricultural producers.
Another great confidence emitting Agriculture Minister Nikolai Fyodorov, alluding to the fact that you should not believe those directly estimated losses, which voiced regions.

Dmitry Medvedev has estimated that by year-end country can gleaning a third of the losses in 2010.
"Shortage of grain harvest in 20 regions can be about 12 million tons, and all over Russia - 14 million," - said Fedorov. At the same time domestic demand, he says now, will close at 100 percent and still have potential for export.
- That is, we will not pass on a knife blade, as it was two years ago? - Said the head of government.
- Deleted - no doubt the minister said.
Another drought has added urgency to the issue of insurance of crops. Process after the 2010 move. Then it was insured only 4 per cent, now all of 10. "The main problem - to prove actual damages in the examination of the damage, - Medvedev said. - Insurance companies must face the growers."
Complaints about the principles of insurers have begun to sound even on the farm. Its director, said that in 2010 to achieve recovery from the insurance company failed. Looking at the barley withered, the Prime Minister spoke about the possibility of professional expertise, independent of the policyholders. "Such a system should do," - he said. Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich suggested that this situation will change when the insurance companies just do not want to pay.
In insurance companies, of course, are not ready to humbly unilaterally to meet the village. "One gets the feeling that farmers prevent two things - drought and insurers," - not without irony, said the head of the National Union of agrostrahovschikov Roots Bizhdov. According to him, insurance companies have basically collected from farmers' proof of damage. "The insurer is obliged to document any of your insurance payment, because it is not taxed," - reminded Bizhdov. At the next stage of the validity of the payment check and verify the tax authorities even stricter.
The Prime Minister of the dispute farmers and insurance companies stand on any one side did not. He again reiterated his position that a substantial part of the crop must be insured, and now in 16 regions of the country are not signed any agreement agricultural insurance.
In the near future, perhaps, the idea of ​​the Prime Minister did materialize. "Agro insurance is voluntary, - Medvedev stressed, - but in most systems of agricultural insurance relationships are constructed so that no contract of insurance can not get a loan. And we in this model need to go."
In the meantime, the government is ready to assist farmers in connection with their new challenges. Farmers in the first place it is important to extend the loans they made in the past few years and have not had time yet to return.
Also, the prime minister signed a decree on the extension of favorable fuel prices. Discount for farmers, said Deputy Prime Minister Dvorkovich, will be 20 percent instead of 30. "Volumes will meet the needs of the second half - the volume of the first half, plus 15-20 percent," - he said.
Finally, Medvedev spoke of the need to promptly decide on the cereal intervention and the necessary volume. Minister of Agriculture has promised to submit proposals in the coming days.
