To drive a car, a citizen needs to learn a lot of rules. Without them, you can face a lot of punishments, fines and payments. But all this can be avoided. Today we will learn about the fine for the transfer of the steering wheel. Is he really there? And if so, how much will you have to pay in one way or another? How is it possible and necessary to drive a vehicle? All this and not only will be described below. In fact, everything is not as difficult as it seems. And compliance with traffic rules is also very easy.
What documents should the driver have?
Is there a penalty for the right to transfer a steering wheel in Russia or not? We will try to understand this issue further.
First, find out what papers each driver should have. Under current law, each driver is required to have a certain number of documents with him.
Among them are:
- driver's license;
- passport;
- vehicle registration certificate;
- car insurance (insurance policy).
It is recommended that you also have a copy of the TCP in the car. All listed documents must be with a modern driver. Otherwise, he will face punishment in one form or another.
Can I trust other cars?
What is the fine for transferring a steering wheel to another person in Russia? Is it possible to drive someone else's vehicle at all?
By law, steering a car is possible. But only subject to certain rules. Which ones?
The owner of the car must enter the potential driver in the insurance policy. Then a person can easily drive a car. Moreover, he must have all the previously listed papers.
If desired, the owner of the vehicle can issue a power of attorney for the driver. The paper will have to be certified by a notary and carried with you. But this is excess paperwork that can be avoided.
Forgotten Rights
The fine for transferring a steering wheel to a person without a driver’s license is a serious and fairly common punishment. The specified action is found in real life more and more often. Next, we consider possible scenarios.
Let's start with the situation in which the driver has a driver's license, but at the moment it is forgotten. Will such an act be a violation? Yes. Even if there are military facilities, but the driver does not have them with him, a person will face a fine.
At the moment, the management of the vehicle without rights is punishable by 500 rubles. This amount is charged directly from the driver. But what about the owner of the car?
Forgotten ID and punishment of the owner of the car
A fine for transferring a steering wheel without rights to the owner of the vehicle is also issued. Indeed, under current legislation, the owner of the vehicle must verify the availability of the securities listed above at the potential driver.
If the driver has forgotten the license, the owner of the car may be fined 3,000 rubles. But that is far from all. There are many situations in which the owner of a vehicle is held accountable.
No documents at all
The next scenario is a fine for transferring a steering wheel to a person who does not have a driver’s license at all. A similar punishment also takes place. Moreover, it is much stronger than the previously described violation.
If the owner of the car transferred control of the vehicle to a person who does not have rights at all, you will have to pay 30,000 rubles for the act. This penalty is issued to the owner of the car.
Deprived of documents
But that is not all. As we have said, in real life there may be different circumstances in which the steering wheel is passed to one or another driver. And driver documentation may not be available for various reasons.
Some negligent drivers are deprived of their rights. For example, for driving while intoxicated.
What is the fine for the transfer of the steering wheel in this case will have to be transferred to the state treasury for the owner of the car? Thirty thousand rubles must be transferred in 2018. No more, no less.
Expired document
What is the penalty for transferring a steering wheel to a person with an expired driver’s license? And in general, is such a situation considered a violation?
Under current law, every person with rights must exchange them on time. Delay in a document for at least 1 day is equal to the complete absence of the corresponding paper.
What does it mean? If the owner of the vehicle allows you to drive a person with an expired certificate, you will have to face serious punishment. Which specifically?
At the moment it is 30 thousand rubles. That is how much a fine will be (transfer of the steering wheel to a person who does not have rights). More precisely, with an expired driver’s license.
If the owner is in ignorance
There are exceptions to the rules. For example, when the owner of the car does not know that the driver was deprived of his driver’s license or his term has expired. What to do in this case?
The owner of the vehicle will not be fined. But for this you will have to obtain evidence of ignorance of the owner of the vehicle. Otherwise, the punishment will be the same as in all these situations, respectively.
Without the consent of the owner
Are there any other steering fines? Without the right to drive a car, as we have already found out, is prohibited. And so you have to worry in advance about the presence of a driver at the driver. This principle applies to mopeds / scooters. To manage them, you will also have to obtain rights with the appropriate category of driving.
Sometimes it happens that the vehicle is driven without the consent of the owner. For example, during theft. This is not the most common scenario, but it does.
The owner of the vehicle with such a picture will not be fined. The main thing is to prove the fact of theft. This situation has its own characteristics.
For example, car theft is a more serious punishment than driving an undocumented car. The hijacker faces up to 5 years in prison. And so for the sake of exemption from a fine for driving without documents, you should not report the theft.
Important: if the "hijacker" can prove the fact of the absence of theft, the owner of the vehicle can be held accountable for cheating law enforcement agencies.
How often can they punish?
We studied the fines for transferring a steering wheel to one or another citizen. Now it is clear what awaits the owner of the car in violation of applicable law. The easiest punishment is a payment of 3,000 rubles.
Some people wonder how often the owner can be fined for the violations studied. Is it possible to get off with one payment? Or do they write fines an infinite number of times?
The second statement is closer to reality. One DPS post may be fined for transferring the steering wheel to a person without I / O only once. But at the same time, if at another post they find the described situation, the owner will be punished again.
What does it mean? Until the violation is corrected, the owner of the vehicle will be fined.
How to avoid punishment?
There are some tips to help avoid penalties for driving without a license.
Among them are the following recommendations:
- Check documents at the driver in advance. So the owner will be able to verify compliance with applicable law.
- Draw up a power of attorney for the driver and enter it into the insurance. If after this the driver’s rights cease to be valid, and the owner is not aware of this event, he will be exempted from sanctions.
- If the rights are forgotten, you can ask the traffic police officer for some time to correct the situation. Let the driver go for the I / O, and the owner with some kind of pledge remains at the post.
