Meetings with inspectors from the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate are a nightmare for many drivers. In order to get rid of the fear of the striped rod, you need to know how to properly talk to the traffic police.
Instructions
Step 1
If you see a wave of the wand addressed to your car, don't panic. Turn on the turn signal and carefully park on the side of the road.
Step 2
When approaching you, the traffic police officer must put his hand to the visor, as well as introduce himself and name the reason for your stop.
Step 3
To get out or not to get out of the car is up to you. As a rule, during a routine document check, this is not required. If the inspector needs to check the unit numbers, check the cargo or make sure that the driver is sober, then he will have to get out of the car.
Step 4
If the inspector requires you to be tested for alcohol intoxication, do not refuse. If you suspect a collusion between a traffic cop and a medical examiner, do an independent medical examination as soon as possible. You can refuse a sobriety test only if you are acting "in a state of extreme necessity" (Art. 2.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation). For example, you are taking a passenger to the hospital. Just do not forget to document this in the emergency room, otherwise problems may arise during the trial.
Step 5
If you understand that you have been stopped unreasonably or that they are extorting a bribe, then you need to turn on the dictaphone (for this purpose, you can use your mobile phone). You have every right to such an action, but the traffic cop is unlikely to continue the conversation, preferring not to contact you.
Step 6
There are situations when a traffic cop offers to pay for the spot. Be aware that this is an attempt to take a bribe from you. Some cunning inspectors do fill out some receipts, and then offer you to pay them on the spot or send them to the bank with other receipts of the same kind. that it is also unlawful, since the culprit pays any fine on his own through special terminals or a bank.
Step 7
Remember that if you disagree with the traffic police decision, you can always appeal it in court.
Step 8
In any case, when talking with traffic cops, you should be as calm and polite as possible. Do not be afraid to express your disagreement and involve witnesses in the conversation.
