We asked an expert this question because in bad weather a driver can easily see a road sign that limits the speed to say 40 km/h on a road where all signs allow you to drive, say 70 km/h.
What is the probability of a fine in this case? The same applies to, for example, non-compliance with marking requirements, which the driver has not taken into account.
Is it worth worrying about fines from cameras in such circumstances? The expert explained why it is not worth it, and explained what happens in violations, in the photos of which number plates are not clearly visible.
Alexander Dombrovsky, Director of the Department of Road Safety and Analytics, MVS Group (operator of the photo and video recording system for the Moscow region for traffic violations):
– The quality of car number recognition by photo video fixation systems may deteriorate in bad weather. It all depends on the amount and intensity of precipitation, general weather conditions. For example, in case of heavy rain or heavy snowfall, there is a possibility that the complex does not recognize the national registration number (for example, it is covered with snow). But it is much more likely that the traffic police officer authorized to file violations will send such material to the marriage, because visually the human eye (unlike computer vision) will not have enough evidence and all doubts will be turned in favor of citizens. interpreted.
But who dares to break the traffic rules in such weather? As you know, just the increased humidity on the roads caused by rain or snowfall increases the risk of road accidents by 34%.
