Penalty for driving without numbers

The registration mark is used to identify the vehicle. Penalty for driving without a number levied from car owners in accordance with Art. 12.1, 12.2 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation.

Grounds for imposing a fine

The presence of a state number is a mandatory requirement that applies to all vehicles (clause 2 of the RF SDA). Penalties are imposed in the following cases:

1. There are no registration plates on the car.
2. The car owner decided to install the number in the wrong place. There are holes on the machine that are designed for attaching state signs.
3. Traffic police officers cannot read the numbers due to dirt or mechanical damage.
4. The reason for the administrative penalty may be the use of marks that do not have a typical form. A similar situation arises if a person decides to install handicrafts.
5. The car owner can maliciously distort the characters to make it impossible to recognize the alphanumeric designations. For this purpose, pieces of paper are glued to the sign or individual elements are tinted.
6. Using a third party number is illegal. Punishment awaits even those drivers who simply decided to install someone else's sign. In this case, the amount of the fine is RUB 2. Drivers who operate such vehicles can be deprived of their license for up to 500 year.

How drivers who lost their number are punished

There are several factors that lead to the loss of the state sign:

1. The fastening depends on the screws that hold the plate in place. During operation, the fasteners wear out.
2. Mechanical damage can be the reason for the decal to fall out.
3. The car owner may lose his room due to bad weather.

To avoid responsibility, you must write a statement at the traffic police department. After that, the driver is given the opportunity to freely reach the place of residence. The driver does not have the right to operate a vehicle that does not have a license plate.

Theft is another reason that can lead to financial losses. Responsibility for the safety of state signs rests with the owner. The fee for recovering a stolen number is RUB 2.

Important! Theft of the number is not an excuse. A car owner who drives without numbers can be fined 5 rubles.

How car owners who install fake license plates are fined

To deceive traffic police officers, unscrupulous drivers use other people's numbers. Most often, the substitution of state signs is carried out by scammers who want to use someone else's car for personal gain.

In the process of drawing up a sales contract, the parties face difficulties. To avoid punishment, citizens install fake numbers. If such a violation is revealed, the car owner is punished for installing such numbers (Article 12.2 of the Administrative Code).

The following administrative measures are applied to car owners who drive with such signs:

1. For private traders, the amount of the fine is 2 rubles.
2. Business owners who commit such violations can be fined 500 rubles.

The traffic police prohibits drivers from driving cars with other people's license plates. The car owner can not only be fined, but also deprived of the right to drive for up to 1 year.

What punishment awaits people who operate a new car without numbers

Citizens who bought a car from hands can use transit numbers. Their advantage is that the car owner does not need to pay tax. However, the transit option is valid for no more than 20 days.

Important! The amount of the fine for driving a new car without license plates is 500 rubles (Article 12.1 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation). In the event of a repeated violation, you will have to pay a fee of 5 rubles.

How violators are identified

Video surveillance devices are used to identify cars that drive without license plates. The equipment searches for such a transport of intruders in automatic mode. Based on the data received, a decision is made on the amount of penalties. In the event that the car of the offender stops, the traffic police draw up a protocol.

How to avoid a fine

If the number was lost on the way, then you must fill out an application at the nearest traffic police department. In the form, the driver must indicate the circumstances that caused the loss of the sign. On the basis of this document, the car owner is given a pass that allows him to get to the house without hindrance.

After that, you need to order a number from an institution that makes duplicates. Tears, chips and bruises can lead to unpleasant consequences. Such defects make it difficult to read the license plate.

A broken sign needs urgent replacement. For the restoration of the number, you will have to pay about 2 rubles. In this case, the driver does not need to re-register. Once received, the duplicate can be fixed in place immediately.
