Fate of right-hand drive vehicles

It seems that the Russian government has taken on the grip of right hand drive. More precisely, recent trends suggest that soon the car with the right wheel will disappear from the Russian roads. As in the first days of May said the federal official newspaper "Rossiyskaya Gazeta", was about to see the light new technical regulations "On the safety of wheeled vehicles." Besides a number of requirements including the installation of the GLONASS system for buses and trucks carrying dangerous goods or a ban on the installation of so-called "kenguryatnik", there is a point that is actually close to the border re-imported RHD cars. I am glad only one thing is already imported machinery until touch no one will. What was the right-hand drive car for many Russians, it is difficult to say. Formed an entire caste of people who prefer the right-hand vehicles. Just as there are people who would not have changed a chainsaw Husqvarna chainsaw for domestic "Friendship", and there are those who would not trade my Nissan Bluebird native to the Lada Kalina. The main advantage of right-hand drive - it's pretty low price if not a poor comfort, high-speed qualities and other preferential treatment. Actually the drivers in the Far East and there is not much choice. All major domestic auto factories are located in the central part of Russia. Transportation vehicles across half the country goes into the bank. Therefore, in Vladivostok, a Toyota Mark 2 can be found more often than any "Lada". Literally is just a cross the strait to get to Japan. There is a wide range of vehicles of any class for the most demanding customer. And then they stand and are mere penny. The main part of the price of the customs tariff, which, incidentally, increased again. Then in Vladivostok have been violent protests against such measures. People drove out to one of the squares of the city badly beaten but still with all sorts of provocative inscriptions izrisovannuyu "penny." They say that even someone attempted gouging machine hammer-type metabo. But the vandalism did not happen. Nonetheless, the Government is not calm. Steps were taken to promote the production of AvtoVAZ in the Far East. Russian Railways have offset some of the tariffs for the transportation. Then the idea was skeptical. But thanks to the strong-willed decision, the program still worked. Press Service of the Railways has extended the information that the Far East for the second half of April has already moved 160 vehicles from Central Russia. Of these, 120 - production of AvtoVAZ, 40 cars - Toyota's our assembly. Well, the past-it may be still and take their own. But it seems to me, Lada needed there as a laser range finder bosch dle 50-shabashniki builders. In the end, it turns out that the state allegedly taking care of its citizens, actually protects against the competition of its inefficient industries. Great course, instead of improving their car industry, we simply remove from the market competitors. For India, China and even Iran did not release their pretty bad cars, constantly improving them. In Russia in this regard, little has been done. And will I do?
