Traffic inspector must pay if he caused an accident

At the forum of the Minsk City Police Department's web site, one of the visitors suggested that the passengers that got in a car accident on Minsk-Mikashevichy road were not allowed to get off their car in order to make their insurance company not the traffice police cover the damage. The European Radio for Belarus gets details from the Alvena insurance company. The company said there is no difference whether a driver is inside the vehicle or not at the time of the accident. One needs to determine who is to blame for an road accident. If the traffic police officers stopped the vehicle in a prohibited location, they should pay for the damage caused.

Alvena insurance company: “One needs to identify what caused the crash. Did a traffic inspector stop the vehicle where it was prohibited to be stopped? Abruptly? And he dod not make sure that stopping this vehicle could violate safety for other drivers? In this case, a traffic police officer must be found guilty of the accident. He will pay for the damages”.
