Caught without a license after deprivation

Revocation of a driver's license is a legal measure of influence on drivers who do not follow the rules of the road. The certificate can be selected for a very different period - from a month to 2 years. During this time, the car owner must be well aware of his mistake, repeat the traffic rules and pass the exam to return the VU.

However, not everyone understands this and therefore again get behind the wheel in the hope that they will not be stopped by traffic police inspectors. Thus, drivers make themselves even worse, since the punishment for driving without a license after deprivation is quite severe. On our website Vodi.su, we have already talked about the violations for which a license is withdrawn. Today's article is devoted to the topic of driving without a license after deprivation, what threatens for it.

Responsibility for driving without a license after deprivation

The Administrative Code has Article 12.7 Part Two, which just provides for the degree of responsibility for this violation. So, if your VU was seized in court for one of the traffic violations, you face one of three:

• a fine in the amount of 30 thousand rubles;
• administrative arrest for up to 15 days;
• performance of socially useful works for 100-200 vehicles.

In addition, such problems as suspension from driving, sending a car to a car impound are also expected. This can be avoided only if several drivers are included in the OSAGO policy and one of them arrives to drive the vehicle further.

Many drivers are interested in the question - which of the three punishments listed above awaits him. As a rule, a fine is issued, this applies to those who were first caught for committing such a violation. Also, a fine is issued to women, men who support young children, pensioners, veterans of military conflicts, and the disabled. If a person is a persistent violator, then, most likely, he will have to go to a special detention center for 15 days, or sweep the city’s territory for 200 hours, engage in landscaping or work on the construction of facilities.

Driving while intoxicated after being disqualified

Much more strictly the law applies to those who drive while drunk or under the influence of drugs. In the table of fines under the Code of Administrative Offenses, just in case, an article of the Criminal Code was added under the number 264.1.

It provides:

• a fine in the amount of 200-300 thousand rubles;
• performing compulsory work for two years;
• two years in prison;
• 480 hours of compulsory work.

As you can see, any of the punishments will hit both the violator's budget and his reputation very sensitively. For many, an amount of 200-300 thousand is unbearable, but if it is not paid on time, it can be doubled, and various restrictions will be imposed on the debtor. You will also have to pay for a tow truck and parking a car at a penalty area.

Pay attention to this point: this article comes into force only if the driver committed any criminal acts, or he refused to undergo the necessary medical examination.

If the driver, after deprivation, was stopped in a state of intoxication, while not committing any unlawful acts and agreed to undergo an examination, then he will be punished under article 12.8 part 3:

• fifteen days of arrest;
• or 30 thousand fine;
• evacuation of the vehicle to a penalty area, suspension from driving.

It is also worth noting that each of the listed cases is general, but in any particular situation there are specific features, so the level of responsibility and the degree of punishment may differ slightly from each other. Law enforcement officers and judges also take into account the previous experience of the driver in order to make the most appropriate decision.

Deprivation of rights for debts

In January 2016, a new law came into force, according to which drivers can be deprived of their rights for debts. This includes the following types of debt:

• the presence of overdue debts on car loans or mortgages, for which interest and penalties are charged;
• alimony;
• arrears in payment of traffic police fines;
• communal payments.

Individual entrepreneurs and legal entities can be suspended for non-payment of taxes. Accordingly, if a person’s rights were withdrawn under this law, and he continues to use his vehicle for its intended purpose, according to Article 17.17 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, he is expected to have an additional deprivation of rights for another year or the performance of compulsory work for a period of 50 hours.

Fake VU

As we wrote earlier on Vodi.su, after the decision to withdraw the VU comes into force, it is impossible to return the rights by legal means. This fact makes some dishonest citizens travel with forged documents. What is the threat for this?

Firstly, driving with forged documents is equivalent to driving without a VU, respectively, you are responsible to the fullest extent of Article 12.7 Part 2. Secondly, forgery of documents is no longer an administrative, but a criminal matter, you will have to answer under article 327 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, part 3:

• a fine of 80 thousand rubles;
• imprisonment for six months;
• mandatory work 500 hours.

Based on all of the above, you can come to the only conclusion - do not drive if you have been deprived of your rights. Wait for the deadline, take into account previous mistakes and enjoy driving. Otherwise, even bigger problems await you.
