Sometimes such a situation arises on the road, when the motorist calmly moves along the highway, without violating anything. However, for one reason or another, the traffic police inspector decides to stop the driver and demands to present a first -aid kit and a fire extinguisher. And if this inventory does not appear in the car, the employee threatens with a fine. Therefore, today's topic we offer the correct behavior of the driver in such a situation.
How to correctly answer the traffic police officer to the demand to present a first -aid kit and a fire extinguisher to avoid a fine?
To begin with, it is necessary to recall the rules of the road, which states that in the case of an accident or malfunctions in the car, the car cannot continue to drive without a first -aid kit and fire extinguisher. This applies to any type of transport, whether it is a cargo or passenger car. Interestingly, this rule does not apply to caterpillar tractors. The rule of traffic rules sounds more than reasonable and correct:
- without a first -aid kit, the owner of the car will not be able to provide first aid to the victim;
- if there is no fire extinguisher during an accident or short circuit, the driver will quickly not cope with the flame;
- also, the legislation is attributed to this set is attributed to the emergency orange-red triangular sign, which protects from the collision of machines in case of breakdown.
Important: if the owner of the car does not have one of these three necessary devices, he will find a fine of 500 rubles or administrative punishment. But the average cost of the desired item does not exceed 300-350 rubles.
Of course, you should not be rude and threatened. But you need to know your rights when the inspector can and need to present a first -aid kit and a fire extinguisher.
- First of all, you should pay attention to the name of the employee and his professional step. You can even announce them or answer when it is addressed, calling the name/patronymic.
- Please note that the employee cannot just demand to open the trunk And show him an emergency sign, fire extinguisher or first -aid kit. He must call the fundamental article for this. If he did not voiced her, then specify yourself.
- By the way, to find out about the situation when the inspector needs to show the trunk, it is worth watching the material "When an employee of the traffic police may demand to show him the trunk".
- if you have insurance pole, which confirms the serviceability of the car and the availability of proper objects, then it is worth voice this version to the inspector.
Important: if the inspector insists on a personal examination of the first -aid kit and a fire extinguisher, then it should be understood that he is entitled to do it only during the inspection. And for this, you need to make appropriate papers, provide a good reason and have at your disposal two witnesses who cannot be passengers or partners. The video camera can replace them.
How to avoid punishment if you cannot present a first -aid kit or fire extinguisher?
By the way, here you have an introductory information, which should lie in your trunk. After all, it is necessary to have specific medicines in the car. So that the inspector of the road service does not have grounds for a monetary penalty in the first -aid kit should contain the following:
- scissors;
- sterile gauze napkins - 1 pc.;
- medical gloves - 1 pair, preferably m;
- one roll of a medical patch;
- antiseptic patch - 2 pcs. large and 10 pcs. small;
- a tourniquet for an emergency stop of hemorrhage;
- antiseptic package for dressing - 1 pc.;
- sterile and non -sterile bandages - 2 pcs. sizes 5*5, 5*10 and one 7*14;
- arrangement of artificial respiration;
- instructions and cover for a first -aid kit.
Important: most often the first -aid kit can be purchased already equipped, with a shelf life of no more than 4 years. If suddenly the first -aid period has expired, it is necessary to replace it in no more than six months. It is very important that instructions are attached to the first -aid kit, and all medicines are equipped. The traffic police also allow storage of additional medications at your discretion.
Based on generally accepted norms, the fire extinguisher must correspond to the following parameters:
- for ordinary machines, the volume of the fire extinguisher should be at least 2 liters, for trucks - 5 l;
- accordingly, the total mass of the fire extinguisher should be 2 and 5 kg;
- of course, not with a spaced shelf life. We remind you that powder devices need to be changed every six months, but carbon dioxide is much less often - 1 time in 5 years;
- and also make sure that the tool indicates the exact marking and instructions for use.
But if for any of the reasons in the first-aid kit there is no medication or a fire extinguisher is not refueling (or there are no these items at all), then explain to the inspector for what reason. For example:
- there is no bandage - they helped the wounded driver in the road accident, which occurred without your participation;
- there is no fire extinguisher - they extinguished the source of fire in the forest, thereby preventing the fire;
- and the road sign was given to another driver, providing a good deed;
- or maybe they just drove for a new acquisition.
Also remember that in order to avoid such situations and not to get a fine, it is better to have a first -aid kit and a fire extinguisher with you. But do not forget to know your rights and obligations, especially on the road!
