I would also be interesting to know what percentage it will be. Might even be well below 50% if the fine is serious enough.

An example from riding trains in the Netherlands: If you get caught you pay around €60 on top of what the journey would have cost if you did have a ticket. That seems high enough to get people behave.

Banning driving under influence and enforcing speed limits would be a better and quicker fix if you ask me. If a car driver can't behave they should take away their car.

Barriers really shouldn't be necessary on local roads.

+3100.... would confuse me as well, barely anything starts with two zeroes

Is it still 10 numbers in total? In the Netherlands we have +31 and almost all numbers start with a 0, so it probably wouldnt look strange to me. (Local lines are by city, the big ones for example have round numbers 010-, 020-, 040- and the smaller ones have something like 011-, 023-, 049- etc., then commercial lines are often 0900- or 0800-, and mobile lines are 06-; which means the full number with countrycode is +31 0.... )

Well he was still targeted, so I'd argue that alone still makes him a dissident. But my point isn't really about this individual guy but about how Russia systematically targets places and people in Europe for various reasons all benefiting the Russian regime and European governments don't publicly call Russia out for those things. If anything happens, it is 'quite diplomacy' or counter intelligents that nobody ever hears about and I'm not okay with that.

Removing roaming cost is really a good thing to have happened because of eu.

garde-fou in french is a more interesting name than "guide rail".

How would you translate to English? The Dutch word for guard rail translates to catch-rail, because it catches you before you fall.

In general yes, but if you have to put a barrier between the road and the footpath to keep people safe the problem isn't that there are no barriers

Wouldn't mind governments doing this if real ones are too expensive/ too much hassle to maintain.

Yeah I figured, I had seen moving image before so that was disproven to me already. Then after I posted that comment I realised that might have been your whole point.

If you're gonna continue promote this unpopular opinion, you could add 'and if you're not: prepare to lose your son/brother/father/male of fighting age friend. And either way: prepare for a loss in income and availability of food and other essential goods'. Best of luck.

I'm not sure i get what you mean, why put dissident between quotation marks? Do you doubt he is?

He was a member of the Right Cause political party and was expected to become chairman of its Moscow section. Chichvarkin currently lives in London, from where he has campaigned against corruption in Russia and president Vladimir Putin personally.
