Disputes in the highest echelons of power over the issue of import and operation of cars with the steering wheel on the right still do not subside.
The right-hand drive ban, in accordance with the adopted technical regulations, should come into force on January 1, 2015. This provision will apply only to categories M2 and M3 - passenger buses. This norm will operate on the territory of the Unified Customs Union, which includes Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. In Belarus and Kazakhstan, a complete ban on right-hand drive cars is already in effect everywhere.
Justifying the ban on the right-hand drive, members of the Government of the Russian Federation mainly refer to ensuring road safety. However, the percentage of accidents involving right-hand drive and left-hand drive cars shows that cars designed for right-hand traffic are
whose steering wheel is on the left, get into an accident much more often than cars with right-hand drive. The conclusion here is simple. The right-hand drive bill is mainly aimed at combating the importation of cheap used Japanese cars. Vehicles from Japan usedwell-deserved popularity due to their high quality and reliability. The low fuel consumption compared to, for example, American cars also speaks in favor of purchasing Japanese vehicles.
Practically all motorists who were driving "Japanese" say that they did not experience any discomfort when driving a right-hand drive car.
Many experts believe that the ban is largely due to the creation of high competition in the market for used cars from Japan. Almost the entire Far East uses used Japanese cars, which make up more than half of the car market there. In addition, many families have two or three of these cars. The introduction of increased duties on the import of Japanese foreign cars brought to naught this used car market. As a result, the state treasury did not receive a significant part of the profits to the budget. Is it not too expensive to support the domestic auto industry? The ban on the import of right-hand drive initiates the interest of Russians in inexpensive foreign and domestic cars. As a result, increased demand will invariably drive up the price of cars.
Of course, nothing terrible will happen, especially since already imported Japanese cars can continue to be used until their resource is exhausted. Such a promise was made, at least.
The technical regulation prohibiting the import and operation of right-hand drive cars is one of the unpopular laws. Such measures hurt, first of all, ordinary people. If the inhabitants of Europeanregions where there are not so many right-hand drive cars, this bill does not affect much, then for the Far East such a decision will become a real problem.
More recently, most of the population of the Far Eastern regions lived by buying and selling cars and spare parts from Japan. Today this kind of business is dead.
A right-hand drive ban will not do anyone any good, especially since there are no such restrictions anywhere in the world.
