Finally, the Russian Government has made changes to paragraph 8 of “Basic regulations” rules of the road, which fixed the obligation of drivers to stick to the vehicles equipped with winter tires with spikes sign “W” (Spikes). Also Dmitry Medvedev has signed a number of amendments to existing legislation regulating the order of registration of accidents.
