4 example you can drive your car avoid all road signs if you got money in pocket \ If cops catches you 4 speeding so you can gave the one ore 2 packs of cigarettes =) Trespassing the road on a red light = $120.
Official penalties for speeding:
excess on 10-20 km/h 100 RUR
excess on 20-40 km/h 100-300 RUR
excess on 40-60 km/h 1000-1500 RUR
excess on more than 60 km/h will cost you your driving licence.
So in the 4th case a bribe can be from couple to dozens of thousand rubles.
Official penalty for trespassing on a red light from 300 to 750 roubes ($10-$25). The bribe will be even less than that.
