Nikol Pashinyan praised the work of the RA Police

ArmInfo.According to the results of the 6-month work, it can be said that the RA Police coped with the task quite well. This opinion was expressed by the. Prime  Minister Nikol Pashinyan at a meeting on road safety reforms.

According to the prime minister, for the post-revolutionary -  transitional period, the Police, although it showed itself from a  good side, but today it is clear to say that there are no flaws in  its work. "The most important task that was set was to change the  attitude of the society towards the Police, and vice versa. In this  regard, we definitely recorded a serious breakthrough," said  Pashinyan. At the same time, he expressed the hope that as a result  of consistent work, real progress will be recorded and Armenia will  be able to boast of good relations between the Police and the public.

Nikol Pashinyan was also presented the draft amendments to the  Armenian CoAp, which was developed taking into account the best world  experience. The purpose of the changes, as stated by those  responsible for the sphere, is to exclude the policy of fines and  prosecute citizens to ensure road safety. The package also provides  for a review of the size of fines for administrative offenses of the  traffic rules, a rethinking of the degree of their public danger.

It was also reported that in the near future the Road Police of  Armenia will apply the new method of administrative punishment for  violations of traffic rules, namely, a 9-point system. After each  such violation, the driver scores will decrease. When the 9-point  limit is over, the driver for 6 months will be deprived of the right  to ride. After 3 months, the driver will have the right to pass the  theory and restore his driving license. The next time, when the balls  are zeroed, the driver will have to pass exams for theory and  driving.

Recall that on the eve of the Armenian parliament, when speaking  about the activities of the Traffic Police, the head of the RA Police  Valeriy Osipyan noted that it works better than before. As the Head  of the Police pointed out, it's impossible to wake up in one day and  find everything in perfect condition, especially since the number of  cars in Armenia is growing every month and the roads are not suitable  for this. "If earlier the number of cars increased by 2-3 thousand  units a month, then only in September 6 thousand cars were imported,  and since January 60 thousand cars were imported into the republic,"  said the Chief Police Officer of the RA.
