Interior Ministry asks the Public chamber of the Russian Federation to hold further public examination simplified rules test drivers for alcohol and drugs, found “Kommersant”. This is due to the draft government decree, which introduced new rapid tests check for sobriety. The police made adjustments in the regulations back in the summer of 2019, and also released the terms of reference and consulted with manufacturers, but the White house does not hurry to adopt the document. MIA asks OP to conduct the examination as quickly as possible: according to the national project “Safe and high-quality roads” 1.5 million tests were planned to procure in the last year, but due to lack of new rules, the tender had to be postponed.A new version of government resolution No. 475 (rules for the inspection of drivers) of the Ministry of interior prepared in June 2019, as told “Kommersant”. The document introduces a new field sobriety test for drivers (its use does not require the calling of witnesses, video shooting, etc.). If a positive result, it will be the basis for carrying out a full audit from the inspector and the doctor. A similar scheme is applied to the device to detect the content of drug in the saliva, after which the driver will direct the study. The project has passed public discussion, the Ministry of interior sent a document to the White house.In February 2020, the government office instructed the interior Ministry to conduct a further examination of the initiatives in this connection, the Ministry sent a letter to the Public chamber (“b” managed to read the text). “Affected in the resolution of issues obviously are of great public importance,— told “Kommersant”, first Deputy Chairman of the Commission on security and cooperation with the PMC OP positions:.— They relate to an unlimited circle of persons, therefore changes must take place so-called zero reading. It is stipulated by the law “On fundamentals of public control””. For examination will include public organizations representing the interests of motorists, in particular the Federation of automobile owners of Russia and the “Blue buckets”, added Mr. Vinnitsky.First Deputy interior Minister Alexander Gorovoy (the author of the letter in the OP) asks for a conclusion in the “shortest possible time”. The Ministry of justice to draft resolutions of issues have arisen, he writes. Procurement of rapid tests provided by the national project “Safe and high-quality roads” (BCAD; approved by the presidential Council for strategic development in 2018): of 1.56 million tests planned to buy last year (this was not done), yet the same in 2020. The weight of the device may not exceed 400 g, and it needs to feed from the cigarette lighter or 220-volt outlet. Consulted with a number of manufacturers (JSC “Alkotektor”, LLC “National system of controlLa”, OOO “Sims-2”), manufacturers are ready to begin deliveries, but tenders have not yet been announced. In the explanatory note to the project, which is aimed at the OP, the interior Ministry refers to foreign experience: police Canada and UK uses rapid tests for drugs in 2016, Cyprus — from January 2018. The police of Lithuania from January 2019 applies non-contact “alcohol detector” that analyzes the composition of the air.”In the next couple of weeks we will hold consultations with foreign— promises Vinnitsa Vladimir.— All the expertise will hold for less than a month, and the conclusion will be ready in the first half of April”. A Ministry proposal to introduce new rapid tests, the expert called “justified”, as the current procedure “long and complex”.Questions to the draft resolution remain, however the head of Federation of automobile owners of Russia Maxim Idrisov said: “the Reasons for referral of drivers to the examination prescribed in the current edition of the resolution, sufficient (redness of the face, uneven gait, disjointed speech.— “Kommersant”). If the inspector is competent and acts honestly, and now the driver no signs of intoxication quickly let go. But dishonest employees after adoption of the resolution will be an additional reason to “talk” with the driver and offer to “solve the problem on the spot.” Moreover, not all understand the intricacies of the law.”In a medical office environment on request “b” did not answer. According to “Kommersant”, the Ministry of health does not like the new drug tests that partially substitute for a full health check.The new government is reinsured, in order not to make mistakes when making decisions that may affect a large number of citizens, explained to “Kommersant”, first Deputy Chairman of the Duma Committee on state construction Vyacheslav Lysakov. 173 thousand drivers were deprived of their rights by the courts. 169 thousand drivers refused examination, 112,7 thousand of them were deprived of their rights. “It is clear that the postponement forced the interior Ministry to reallocate finances, it is inconvenient, but it’s possible to calculate and double-check, it will be”,— said the Deputy. Mr. Lysakov the introduction of new tests supports: drivers will know that at any time on the road can expose operational test mass, which should force him to give up drinking.Ivan Buranov
