A woman from Yekaterinburg paid twice for the same speeding violation.

      A woman from Yekaterinburg was double-charged for the same speeding violation today at 13:28. She received two fines with two photos taken on the same day but a few seconds apart. They were sent several days apart, so the Ural woman did not immediately realize it was the same violation.

      — I started looking from my computer, fines are rare for me—these are the first in several years. The violation was on the Amundsena section from Obvodnoy to Vonsovsky. I only drove there once in July, I started reviewing the photos. The fines were issued just 1 minute and 21 seconds apart by the same opposing mobile camera. Is it now possible to issue multiple fines for the same violation? You could even issue dozens of fines for seconds,—complained the Yekaterinburg resident to E1.RU portal.

      GIBDD officers explained that in 40 seconds, at speeds over 80 km/h, the car traveled more than 60 meters; the second record was made at a different location.

      — The permitted speed in the city is 60 km/h; any speed above that is a violation. This section is accident-prone and monitored from different sides. The driver must avoid violations and follow traffic rules,—stated the State Traffic Police.

      GIBDD clarified that drivers are held responsible for traffic violations, and if a driver commits the same violation on different parts of the road, fines are issued for each case—even if it happens on the same day. They can fine for each violation—even if they are similar but committed at different times or in different places.

      Earlier, Yekaterinburg drivers were outraged by a patrol car parked on the grass. However, the GIBDD stated that this is normal.
