Every year the number of cars on our roads is growing at a frantic pace. It is understandable, the car has long been no luxury. In the current conditions of constant lack of time and eternal haste, a personal car is sometimes necessary as air. And for some, a car is the only source of income.
However, with the increase in the number of cars, the number of accidents is growing. Every year, on the Russian roads, the number of people dying is equal to the population of a rather big city. Therefore, there is a systematic tightening of penalties for drivers who neglect the rules of safe driving.
However, Russian laws exist in order to violate them.
For example, most of our teenagers managed to sit behind the wheel of a car long before
obtaining a driver’s license. And many drivers are not at all confused by the fact that they are deprived of the right to drive vehicles for various violations. They continue to drive on the roads without any documents.
According to Russian law, driving without a driver’s license is only possible with a training car and only in the presence of an instructor. In all other cases, driving without a license will inevitably be punished.
So, let’s figure out who basically gets behind the wheel without a driver’s license. Firstly, these are boys and girls who have not yet received the right, but really want to learn how to ride.
And what could be a theory without practice?
And it’s good if this “training ride” will do without consequences, because in an extreme situation the novice driver will just be confused and will not have time to react. And now for the punishment: according to the latest amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses, when detaining such a "rider" he faces a fine for driving without a license (varies from 5,000 to 15,000 rubles). A fine of 30,000 rubles was also imposed on the owner of the car for transferring the vehicle to a person who obviously does not have a driver’s license. Total - minus 35-50 thousand rubles. And the car - to the parking lot.
The next category of people who practice driving without a license are drivers who were previously deprived of them. In this case, the penalty for driving without a license will also be severe - a fine of 30 thousand rubles with the seizure of the vehicle.
Sanctions for driving without a license to those drivers who were previously deprived of a document for driving a car while intoxicated or even more toughened. They face a fine of 50,000 rubles. and arrest for 15 days or, as an alternative to arrest, compulsory work for the benefit of the state.
If a driver driving a car without a license provoked an accident, as a result of which people were injured or died, then the articles of the Criminal Code will be applied to him, as well as the deprivation of rights (most likely, forever).
It should be remembered that driving without a license is not only illegal (after all, your actions pose a threat to the life and health of others), but it also “hits your pocket” (fines have increased by more than 10 times compared to the previous year). Therefore, before you drive without a license or while intoxicated, think many times whether such a dubious pleasure is worth the money loss and the problems that it will entail.
