PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia's traffic police use recent rise in fines
for violations to replenish the extra-budgetary fund, chairman of
Achilles center for drivers' rights protection said.
According to Eduard Hovhannisyan, RA National Assembly adopted
amendments to Code on Administrative Offences on February 7, 2012.
`The law aimed to increase the fines,' he noted, citing the traffic
sign on Rubinyants street restricting 40 km / h speed, which is used
for fining drivers, despite being hardly visible.
Mr. Hovhannisyan slammed the traffic police statements, according to
which increase in fines are called to ensure lawfulness.
`Order has already been established, with relevant work having been
conducted. Now the goal is to ensure collection of funds,' he said.
