Right seat and gave the Americans a year on imports.

Minpromtorg and traffic police have tried to give an explanation for the new technical regulations. Representatives of agencies say that restrictions on the exploitation of already imported RHD cars will not. While the document does not come into force, "Japanese women" and "American" can live. September 28, "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" staged "hot line" to which were invited to head the Department of Automotive and Agricultural Machinery Minpromtorg Russia Alexei Rakhmanov and Head of the Department of Road Safety Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia Sergey Fomochkin. The event was staged in order to shed some light on a number of concerns of the technical regulations, which will come into force next year. In particular, owners of cars and RHD cars imported from the United States, are interested, do not impose any restrictions on the exploitation of already registered vehicles? Although the authorities have tried to clarify some of their answers may introduce even more confusion. What will happen to the "wrong" cars from Japan after the entry into force of the document? Rakhmanov said that they can ride on the roads of Russia, if they are placed on the account. According Fomochkina, "no prohibitions on operation of vehicles with right-sided position of the steering at the present moment there is no ban and impose no presupposes. He adds that the problem may be except that the direction of light beam head lamps, although it is now regulated by GOST. Preparing technical regulations "joy" to those who are going to bring a car from America. Rakhmanov recalled the three difficulties.Secondly, the problem will be with the head optics, whose light distribution is different from European. Minpromtorg representative said that if adjust them under European standards is impossible, then they will have to change. Rakhmanov, apparently forgotten that some "American women" as "pravorulek", there is no European analogues. Accordingly, I was "wrong" lights are not on that. And, thirdly, the difficulties arise with the rear turn signals. We "Americans" they are usually red, but in Europe and Russia rules require them to be yellow. For questions regarding the inspection and insurance for Japanese and American cars Rakhmanov replied: "We address the issue sooner, it will be determined by the law relating to insurance." According to him, if the car passes inspection, it shall comply with its basic rules and procedures. It may seem that the owners of pravorulek "and" American women ", the cars are already imported into the territory of Russia, are registered and are in operation, will not touch. But concerns still remain. According to "Rossiyskaya Gazeta", both the guest stated that all vehicles imported before, have the right to life, until the technical regulations do not come into force. Many uncertainties, but representatives of the departments say: before coming into effect for another year, for which will be explained in some rules. It is reported that in accordance with the regulations will lead many documents, among which the Road Traffic Regulations of 1993. Recall that the technical regulations do not contain an explicit prohibition on the import of cars in Russia with the right arrangement of controls. But there are other items that are actually prohibit entry "pravorulkam" into the country. The stumbling block will be a head optics, configured to drive on the left. The most striking and absurd, that included a paragraph that sets the length of the vehicle identification number. It should be 17-digits, while the machines for the Japanese market VIN - 11 digits. Here you have an extra forbidding aspect that has nothing to do with the safety of vehicles. Also banned the import of "American women" because of the notorious red rear turn signals. "I suspect that there is a definite challenge - issue a document that would protect not safety of road users, and the interests of certain groups, institutions and personalities", - told GZT.RU leader of the movement of motorists' freedom of choice "Vyacheslav Lysakov. Import RHD vehicles is prohibited, although the Japanese are the highest standards of quality and the most stringent worldwide standards for security. And banned the import of American trucks, like human rights activist. These vehicles are most appropriate for thousands and thousands of truckers on the quality-price ratio. "I am afraid that the framers of the document is not in a position to understand how it will work", - considers Lysakov. He noted that the regulations made negligently, the wording ambiguous. Untimely and his appearance, especially against the background of the crisis. "The goal was one - to push through the document. In the first analysis of the mass of puzzling questions arise, - human rights activist says and adds: - Creators of the document is a little worried. "
