Avatar of automobilist (from a series "Political and legislative avatars"). An essay.
Avatar properties:
1. An automobilist is driving on excellent, convenient, equipped roads, on which road signs, markings and everything else are arranged so that the automobilist can easily get from point A to point B without any traffic violations (traffic rules).
2. The average automobilist resembles - in terms of his level of intellectual development, - the famous mysterious mathematician who solved a mathematical riddle, but refused to receive a huge prize as a reward. Given the enormous intellectual level of automobilists, the rules of the road need to be (1) constantly changing and (2) as complicated as possible. Soon all automobilists will develop their intellect so much that they will become on a par with Kapitsa and Lebedev (from the portrait by Boris Kustodiev), and will easily receive any bonuses and pay any fines (to the budget) regardless of actual guilt.
The mind of an average automobilist resembles a computer that easily loads into the operational consciousness (1) an array of both the traffic rules themselves and (2) a lot of comments and interpretations to them. In addition, he is able to process and compare different norms, rules, interpretations and comments with great speed.
3. The automobilist is very wealthy - even without receiving Nobel (and other) prizes. With peculiar ease, he pays any fines for traffic violations. Whether he wants it or not, he significantly replenishes the budget. How significant these fines are for the budget is not a very desirable topic for discussion.
4. Due to the ease of paying fines, due to the difficulties of administrative prosecution of automobilists, they must be provided with the opportunity to become the object of criminal prosecution with the prospect of moving towards less comfortable places.
Properties of real automobilists.
1. The average automobilist often drives on bad, poorly equipped roads. As for the signs, very often he discovers the prohibition of turning onto some exclusive highway fifty meters before the turn. The sign is not located in the most convenient way and is often obscure. Turn (in violation of traffic rules) or look for (create) an intricate detour route (extending own path by hours)? - he must make this decision in five to ten seconds.
2. The mind and consciousness of a real automobilist are loaded with a lot of personal, household and official issues (he needs to eat, dress, move ...), so even with (after) all the best intentions and with (after) all the efforts of Great Managers, a traffic rules will never come out in the first place in the mind of a automobilist.
3. A real automobilist (in the majority) - if you believe indirect data, for example, about the constant growth of debtors and the constant growth of common debt - does not at all resemble a billionaire. He barely has enough money for fuel and repairs.
4. Strengthening and toughening of punishments poorly solve any real problems. To a greater extent, they destroy the lives of respectable citizens, increase the number of debtors and the total amount of debt. In general, this policy promotes the transfer of property from the ownership of relatively prosperous (before 1991) strata to other hands.
