Trahviühiku hinnatõus kihutajaid ei heidutanud

The increase in the fine unit price did not deter speeders

Kuigi liiklustrahvide summad aasta alguses tõusid, ei ole see kihutajate statistikat võrreldes eelmise aastaga vähendanud.

Although traffic fines increased at the beginning of the year, it has not reduced the statistics of speeders compared to last year.

Uuest aastast tõusis . Enne oli hind neli eurot, nüüd on kaheksa eurot. Sel aastal on registreeritud umbes 11 000 . Need on alustatud kiiruseületajate suhtes. Kiiruskaamerad on tuvastanud üle 75 000 rikkumist.

Since the beginning of the year, the fine unit price has doubled. Previously, it was four euros, now it is eight euros. This year, approximately 11,000 offenses have been registered. These were initiated against speeders. Speed cameras have detected over 75,000 violations.

Jõhvi politseijaoskonna grupijuht Annika Elmi ütleb, et eelmise ja selle aasta numbreid vaadates on kiiruskaamerate poolt tuvastatud vähenenud. Tavaliiklusjärelevalves on aga kihutajate arv tõusnud.

Annika Elmi, the group leader of the Jõhvi police department, says that when comparing the numbers of last year and this year, the number of violations detected by speed cameras has decreased. However, the number of speeders in regular traffic surveillance has increased.

Elmi ütleb: "Enne oli neli eurot, nüüd on kaheksa eurot. See aeg on olnud liiga lühike, et . Mõned inimesed saavad aru, et rahatrahvid on tõusnud, aga paljud ei mõtle sellele."

Elmi says: "Previously, the fine unit price was four euros, now it is eight euros. This time has been too short to draw definitive conclusions. Some people understand that financial penalties have increased, but many don't think about it."

Elmi usub, et ei mõtle trahviühiku hinna peale. "Liikluses käitumine tuleneb inimese enda valmisolekust olla . Rahatrahvid mõjuvad ainult vähesele osale inimestest," ütles ta.

Elmi believes that a proper driver does not think about the fine unit price. "Behavior in traffic comes from a person's own willingness to be a proper driver. Financial penalties only affect a small portion of people," she said.

Politsei ei kasuta ainult trahve, et kihutajaid peatada. Politseinikud proovivad vestluse käigus autojuhte õigesti käituma panna. Elmi ütleb: "Vestlus on tõhus viis. Kui vestlus ei aita ja inimesel on varasemad karistused olnud, siis võib ta rahatrahvi saada. Aga politseiniku on tema sõna."

The police do not only use fines to stop speeders. Police officers try to make drivers behave correctly during conversations. Elmi says: "Conversation is an effective way. If the conversation does not help and the person has had previous penalties, they may receive a financial fine. But the police officer's strongest tool is their word."
