Abstract: One of the tasks of the science of administrative law at present is the study of the problems of administrative legislation implementation. Various amendments to the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation have made some of its provisions complicated and contradictory. The author supposes that the analysis of the problems of implementation of the existing administrative legislation in the sphere of road safety is a precondition for the formation of an effective mechanism of administrative-legal regulation of this sphere and one of the conditions of optimisation of road safety and the decrease of accident rate. The methodology of the research is based on the recent achievements of epistemology. The author uses the general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, deduction) and the special scientific methods (formal-logical and comparative legal). The novelty of the research lies in the suggested measures of the existing administrative-delictual legislation enhancement aimed at its further optimisation in the aspects of law-making and law-enforcement and realization of the government policy in the sphere of road safety provision.

Abstract: The norms imposing administrative responsibility are formal if the decisions are not executed. The author analyzes law enforcement practice and concludes that in case it is not reasonable to impose a fine (particularly when an administrative fine equals to fines for some types of criminal offences), it is reasonable to impose another type of administrative punishment, thus achieving the main aim – prevention of new offences by the same offender and by other persons. Large fines which are very difficult to exact should be replaced with other proportionate types of punishment. The author of the paper suggests amending the art. 20.25 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation with a part 11, containing the responsibility for the evasion of administrative punishment imposed for special rights abuse. The author argues that the adequacy of an imposed punishment for the evasion of administrative punishment will promote the principle of unavoidability of punishment. For data collection and processing the author uses the formal-logical and the dialectical methods, and the comparative-legal, logical and statistical analysis of the cases of administrative offences in the sphere of traffic safety. The toughening of administrative responsibility for offences in the sphere of traffic safety leads only to the decrease of some types of such offences, but it solves neither the problems of the quantity of traffic accidents and the amount of victims, nor the problems in the sphere of the imposed punishment execution. In law enforcement practice of traffic officers administrative executive proceedings are widely used not only for the observance of the principle of unavoidability of punishment, but also as a preventive measure for traffic safety provision. Therefore, the execution of decisions on administrative offences is one of the priority directions in this sphere. This research is aimed at the Russian traffic police efficiency enhancement in the sphere of administrative punishment for traffic violation execution. The author analyzes law enforcement practice of the imposed administrative punishment execution and offers recommendations for legislation enhancement in the sphere of administrative responsibility for traffic violation.

Abstract: The subject of the research is qualification of administrative offences specified in the articles 12.6 and 12.23 part 3 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation. Implementation of the principle of unavoidability of punishment means the correct qualification of the offence committed. Unfortunately, when qualifying administrative offences in the sphere of road traffic a law enforcer sometimes faces the situation when one deed refers to several competing administrative-legal regulations. Regulations provide for various types of responsibility for transportation of children without a safety belt. In such situations the correct qualification of this deed is necessary for the correct legal treatment of the deed and imposition of a corresponding punishment. The author of the article considers the problem of correlation between the rules of transportation of children (article 12.23 part 3 of the Code of Administrative Offences) and the rules of safety belts use (article 12.6 of the Code) as competing legal regulations in the sphere of road traffic. The correct qualification of administrative offences fosters the respect for law enforcement bodies in citizens and promotes the increase of legal sense and legal culture of road traffic participants. The author uses general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, the comparative method) and special research methods. The analysis of the administrative legislation and the court and law enforcement practice shows the need for the general explanation by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of the order of application of the rules of children transportation (article 12.23, part 3 of the Code of Administrative Offences) and the rules of safety belts use (article 12.6 of the Code). It is necessary to amend the general part of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation with the regulation explaining the order of the general and the special norms of the Special Part application. 

Abstract: The subject of the study includes the urgent questions of the national strategy of the Russian Federation in the field of road safety. The study is aimed at the evaluation of the existing mechanisms of the national strategy of the Russian Federation in the field of traffic. The objectives of the study: a) review of the legislation dealing with the questions of the national strategy of the Russian Federation in the field of road safety; b) evaluation of the effectiveness of implementation of the state policy in this area; c) proposals to improve particular provisions of the national strategy of the Russian Federation in the field of road safety. The author highlights some issues reflecting the necessity to change public attitude to road safety, and above all to inequality on the road which is a powerful destabilizing factor.The methodology of the research is based on the modern achievements of epistemology. The author uses the general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, deduction) and the special scientific methods (the formal-logical and the comparative-legal methods). The novelty of the research lies in the fact that the author has suggested the specific measures of the existing administrative-delictual legislation enhancement aimed at both its further optimization in the realm of lawmaking and law enforcement and the state policy in the sphere of road traffic safety provision execution.
