Siberia police experiment with traffic violation phone fines

According to the Courrier International (in French), the Siberia police is experimenting with an unusual way to collect traffic fines.

Traffic violators have the choice to pay a fine, or, send 10 text messages to their friends, reminding them to be respectful of the rules of the road.

The "SMS fine" concept was one of the entries in a contest by high school students from the city of Krasnoïarsk.
