A bill has been submitted to the State Duma that supplements Article 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation with a new clause "g." It introduces a separate qualification for hooligan actions committed by a person driving a vehicle or directed against such a person.
The authors of the initiative emphasize that aggressive behavior of drivers, acts of vandalism, and deliberate provocations on the road can lead to massive violations of traffic rules, accidents, and loss of life. The explanatory note states that the new rule is aimed at preventing such situations.
Classifying hooliganism as a criminal offense in cases where the perpetrator or victim is a driver will not only prevent crimes and eliminate threats to the life and health of citizens but also create a safer environment for all road users.
Currently, Article 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation defines hooliganism as a gross violation of public order, expressing clear disrespect for society. Such actions are punishable by fines of up to 500,000 rubles, mandatory or correctional labor, and imprisonment for up to five years.
The initiative expands the list of circumstances under which liability arises under criminal law, extending it to any hooligan actions involving drivers, both on roads and in courtyards and parking lots.
