How long can you drive without license plates in a new car without fines

Until October 15, 2013, a new car without license plates could be driven for a maximum of 5 days. However, the government agreed to meet the drivers, allocating more time to register the car and complete all the necessary documents and insurance policies.

So, from 15.10.2013/10/XNUMX, driving a new car without license plates is allowed for XNUMX days. You have this time for:

• registration of OSAGO;
• passing a technical inspection;
• registration with the traffic police.

Also, now, if you bought a car in a car dealership in another city, it is enough for you to have a note in the TCP about purchasing a car, and it is not necessary to attach transit numbers. The traffic police officer does not have the right to stop you and fine you for the lack of transit numbers if you can prove to him that the car was purchased less than 10 days ago. At the dealership you will be given all the necessary documents:

• contract of sale;
• act of acceptance of a new car;
• payment receipt;
• PTS.

However, the penalty for delay has also increased. If you are stopped by a traffic police representative because you are driving around without license plates, and the car was purchased more than 10 days ago, you are threatened with:

• for the first violation - a fine of 500-800 rubles;
• for a repeated stop without numbers - 5000 rubles or deprivation of rights for 1-3 months;
• when you arrive at the MREO, you will still have to pay a fine of 100 rubles for delaying registration.

However, you should not think that you can drive around in your new car absolutely without any documents, but only with a sales contract. It is necessary to pass a technical inspection, and according to the law on compulsory insurance, it is forbidden to drive without an OSAGO policy at all, so the first thing to do is to insure the car. In the salon, this is not a problem, since you will immediately be offered the conditions of the partner insurance company, or you can call an agent of another company.

Thus, you can drive without license plates no more than 10 days after signing the sales contract, at the end of this period you fall under the article on administrative offenses.
