Defenseless car

Most cars in Russia, poorly protected from theft and theft of belongings from the cabin. This is evidenced by the results of a study conducted by the British Research Centre Thatcham commissioned by the Professional Association of anti-vehicle theft. According to the president of the association, Deputy Director General of Insurance Company "Ingosstrakh" Igor Yamova, in a study in 2008-2009, the same methodology, we compared 32 complete sets of cars for markets in the UK and Russia. 5-point scale assessed the effectiveness of protection of the car-theft and anti-theft performance of things from the cabin. Note that in September 2008, the public were presented the results of the first test, which got 11 cars. Later it was tested with 21 other brand machines. The studies were carried out tests "at the opening of" doors, alarm systems and evaluation of electronic immobilizer. In all cases investigated by cars as standard. According to I. Yamova, these 32 models accounted for more than 50 percent of sales of foreign cars in Russia. However, it must be emphasized that the ratings do not include such popular foreign cars in Russia as the Ford focus, Chevrolet lacetti, is not in him as a single car brand Peugeot and Renault. Apparently this is due to the fact that these cars do not enjoy love avtougonschika. Of the 32 cars delivered to Russia, only 4 were rated 5 for the effectiveness of anti-theft - Audi A8L, Audi Q7, BMW X6 and Volkswagen Tuareg, while the English version of this ratings scores were 27 cars. In Russia's rating of any one of the cars did not get 5 points for effective protection against theft of items from the car, while the English were awarded five Audi A8L, Mercedes-Benz E Class 500 / 2009 r / and Toyota Land Cruiser (see Table, The first digit rating - evaluation of car-theft protection, the second - from stealing things from the cabin). One of the reasons why the Russian version of the car got lower marks, is, for example, the absence of most brands "Antitheft" on wheels. By the method of assessment for its presence to a rating adds one point. As noted by I. Yams, burglary in England and Russia are significantly different, if in England we are talking about so-called street of theft, then we have a professional theft. Thus, the top five in British reality tells us that the car is well protected, but the same five in Russia, does not mean that the model is low risk. He acknowledges that the full "impose" rating on Russian reality can not. It is worth noting that the problem is sufficiently urgent avtougonov in Russia. Despite the fact that, according to the Interior Ministry, the number of hijackings and car thefts has been steadily declining in recent years, their number is still large. According to Deputy Head of the Department of Road Safety Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Alexander Soldatov, when in 2006 it was recorded 122.9 thousand burglaries and carjackings, in 2007 - 113.5, in 2008 - 103 thousand, and nine months 2009 - 71,9 thousand Among the vehicles stolen cars were 64 percent of domestic production and 36 percent foreign. Most popular among car thieves are the average of the cost of foreign cars, because they can be quickly implemented. "You can steal and Rolls-Royce, but who will buy it now", - said A. Soldatov. According to A. Soldatov, reducing the number of thefts due to both the economic situation in the country as decreased demand for stolen cars, and the improvement of law enforcement. He also notes that in 2009 found 33.2 thousand stolen cars and 27.4 thousand vehicles with altered or destroyed by marking components and assemblies. I. Yams meanwhile notes that the data "Ingosstrakh" allow you to track statistics on thefts over a short span of two weeks, and the company's statistics shows that the trend of reducing the number of hijackings refracted in August this year and in August the number of thefts of insured vehicles began to grow. Although it is not excluded that it may also be a "fugitive emissions". The results are going to study Russian insurers to discuss with the car manufacturers. For example, in England, on the basis of ratings Thatcham insurance companies determine insurance rates for car insurance. The publication of such ratings leads to the fact that automakers are forced to add a variety of devices and systems to improve the security of vehicles. According to I. Yamova in Russia Automakers response to a rating. As an example he cited concern the interaction of Audi, car security which is at a very high level.
