Popular questions on rental process
If you see a police car riding behind you with flashing lights turned on, it should be considered as a demand to stop. Drivers should also keep in mind that stopping at the first convenient place is prohibited. An officer can issue an additional fine for that. It is better to get to the nearest bus draw-in and stop there.
Motorists should always have a sufficient amount of paper money and coins of small denominations as this way it will be easier to pay for parking and at petrol stations. When making a payment, be very careful and do not forget to ask a service worker to count money in your presence.
In most cases, police officers offer to pay the fine right “on the spot”. If a driver is sure that he did not break any rules, it is necessary to insist that the payment is to be made through the bank. There is a chance that in this case the policeman will either reduce the amount of the fine or let the driver go, making only a warning.
