The discussion on the amendment of Traffic Safety Law is going on in Russian assembly now.
At present, it is not sure whether the amendment is passed or not.
The yearly units exported to Russia from Japan are 0.4 million. However, the amendment restricts right-wheel vehicles, which may limit the vehicles exported from Japan.
In Russia, the traffic accidents were increased by 35% to over 0.23 million units, hurt nearly 0.3 million people, in 2007. Russia needs some obligation for cars to drive safely. A person concerned says, "it would be difficult to pass the amendment". However, the economic growth rate in Russia is slowing down due to the recent financial recession. Other says, "if it is to be a symbol as the safety net for national employment, as well as for traffic safety, the amendment is possibly to pass".
