Ambulance carriage may allow caring off roads.

The issue of toughening responsibility for obstructing an ambulance is actively discussed in the Ministry of Health. This was announced on Tuesday by the Deputy Minister of Health Tatyana Yakovleva to reporters.

Cars come from the ministry

According to Yakovleva, it is necessary to tighten the legislation for non -repayment of the ambulance, because in the event of the death of the patient, this can be regarded as a deliberate murder. "How can you not miss an ambulance, especially the resuscitation that goes with signal beacons?" - the official was indignant

The fact that the Ministry of Health does not exclude the introduction of criminal liability for obstruction of the ambulance was previously stated by the head of the department Veronika Skvortsova, commenting on the resonant case in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, where the driver of a foreign car did not miss the imminent patient to the dying patient, and he died.

The State Duma deputies after this incident, in particular, suggested confiscating cars from such drivers and losing their rights for life. Currently, the current legislation for refusing to miss an ambulance provides for a fine of 500 rubles.

Recall that plans to tighten responsibility for non -removal of ambulances regularly arise among the Russian authorities after resonant cases, but then everything goes to naught. In particular, in 2015 it was planned to increase the fine to 3000 rubles after the video scattered on the Internet, on which the driver of the BMW crossover arranged racing from an ambulance rushing to a call. At the beginning of 2016, the State Duma Constitutional Committee recommended rejecting the bill on increased fines for the illegal restriction of traffic with a special signal, which was introduced after a scandalous case with an ambulance in Moscow, when doctors with an infants were detained for the court of officials .

"Blue buckets": in the case of Kamchatka, the driver of the ambulance is to blame for the patient in the case

The social movement "Blue buckets"analyzed the "extended" version of the video from the registrar "Kamchatka ambulance" and came to the conclusion that the ambulance driver was to blame for the dying patient.

"Before" meet "with an inadequate lady at the wheel" adequate "driver of an ambulance for at least three minutes (0:45-3:45 on the video)" fings in place "forward/backward, making sporadic reversal. In the end, he decides to go forward again, the" request "of the driver literally sounds causatively in a prisoner," he can give way, quickly! It was about 20 meters (!) From the right entrance, that is, it was not important for the doctors to catch the patient, but it was important to break the driver - the opponent.

The author of the situation also assumes that the ambulance driver used the Google navigator with “glucive geocoding”: “If the ambulance driver had not gone to a dead end of house 36, if he had lost orientation, would not return back,“ fidget ”ahead of two cars, and the doctors would not have been delivered to the patient much faster”. - summarizes the motorist.
