Russian VIP lights on cars for oligarchs

In Moscow and in Hollywood movies you will see Russian oligarchs and rich Russians driving a black Mercedes Benz and blow by traffic by using blue VIP lights on the top of their cars.  This has cause fatal accidents and is a sign that the class system is at work and not for the middle class but only for the privileged.

Russian VIP lights are so unfair. Can you imagine in the USA that some guy can blow by you in traffic because they have siren on their car that has no emergency purpose. This is one clear sign that Russia is no democracy. I am very pro-Russian people but not the abuses of the Russian oligarch and government. Something like this is a throw back to soviet times.

About a thousand or more Russians can ignore the laws of the road and:

  • run red lights
  • disobey the speed limit
  • drive on the wrong side of the road
  • pass on the left
  • do anything they want and the law does not apply to them

For example Anatoly Barkov – LUKoil executive killed Vera Sidelnikova and Olga Alexandrina (both doctors) driving on the wrong side of the road with these lights. No charges where pressed and witness testimony was ignored.  Is this fair?  Is this democracy? Russia is no democracy. In Russia bureaucrats are free from the law.

Special license plates

In Russia there are also special license plates exist only for the people who have money. They pay someone and they get to drive under a different set of rules than the rest of the Russians. Is that fair?

This is one sign of many that the Russian government is not for the people of Russia. More Russians have to wake up and realizes this. Oh and if you are driving on a Moscow road, see if you can see these VIP lights.
