It is not uncommon for a car to be driven not by its official owner. Perhaps the most common situation is when the wife drives the husband’s car, or the father takes the father’s car. If at the same time the owner is in the car, then no one of the authorities should have questions - it is clear that he trusts the driver. But if the owner is not, maybe a car was stolen? Previously, the power of attorney served as proof of the opposite. But now, when the legislative cancellation of the power of attorney for the car, the situation has changed.
The cancellation of a power of attorney for a car means that now an employee of the state traffic safety inspectorate (STSI) has no right to ask the driver for this document. Previously, he was on the mandatory list of what should be in the hands of the driver, so that he was considered a respectable participant in the road. It is enough for the driver to show the employee of the state traffic inspectorate his rights and certificate of registration of the vehicle (technical equipment). And only if one has additional questions, insurance is presented.
Cancellation of a power of attorney for a car is actually replaced by the CTP. In other words, the fact that the driver of a technical tool trusts this particular driver can be seen in the insurance form. Recall OSAGO can be issued in two types - with a limited number of drivers who are allowed to drive this particular car, and without limitation. In the latter case, the cost of insurance increases significantly. And most drivers of personal cars, and many entrepreneurs, use the first option. And this means that if the driver is inscribed in the policy, then the car owner trusts him, and there can be no talk of theft. But if there is no entry in compulsory motor liability insurance, then the abolition of powers of attorney will not help - a traffic policeman will definitely issue a fine in the amount of 500-800 rubles.
Does the cancellation of a power of attorney for a car mean that this document has become completely unnecessary? No, you can’t say so. The law excluded the power of attorney from among the mandatory documents that the driver must carry with him. But in some cases, it is still necessary. For example, if the car was evacuated to a parking lot. After the payment of all necessary fines, he can be picked up either by the owner inscribed in the passport of the technical equipment (PTS), or by a proxy indicated in the power of attorney. In this case, it is not necessary to certify this document with a notary - a simple handwritten view is sufficient if it indicates that the bearer has the right to certain actions.
In particular, the same applies to passing inspection. The cancellation of a power of attorney for a car did not affect the situation when it is necessary to remove a car from state registration or, conversely, register it with the traffic police. An authorized person can not only pass inspection and get or rent a number, but even sell a car - if it is written in the same handwritten power of attorney. Her notarization is required only for crossing the border.
