Supreme court: Drivers must wear reflective vests

Two weeks ago in a press there was an information that the Supreme court will consider a lawsuit filed by some lawyer and human rights activist Lev by Voropayev, according to which the requirement for drivers to wear special vests with reflective strips in the dark or in conditions of poor visibility, being out of town, illegally.

 

To challenge the norm of having to wear reflective vests for drivers stemmed from the reasoning that “…it is not related to vehicle control: coming from behind the steering wheel, the driver becomes a pedestrian.” Thus, the main claim of the lawsuit was to apply the concepts as leaving the wheel of a car, the driver becomes a pedestrian. As was said at the meeting of the Supreme court, the appellant is engaged in casuistry, challenging the norm on formal grounds. By the way, the last (defender) didn’t even show up on resulting meeting.

But on examination were representatives of the interior Ministry, who explained that legally the driver is not the only one who is driving the car, doing the manipulations associated with the direct operation of the vehicle, but those people who are out of the car. As an example, was given the responsibility of the driver to verify before driving in the absence of technical faults in the car. To learn about the normal, driving is not necessary. Also install an emergency stop sign after an accident is part of the duties of a driver, although the man at this moment will be behind the wheel.
