Russia has introduced restrictions for novice drivers. New rules will protect against beginners and make life easier for experienced drivers New rules for novice drivers

Today we want to talk in detail about what Russians should expect drivers in 2017. All changes to traffic rules, administrative codes, fines, bills that are already coming into force in 2017 and amendments that will only be considered - in a large pre-New Year material on the portal website

Throughout the year, on the pages of the portal website, we introduced readers to all the changes for drivers that came into force in 2016. Today it’s time to talk about the innovations of 2017. There are a lot of changes, so in order not to get confused, we have divided them into blocks, noting what is already coming into force and what is still planned to be adopted in 2017.

CHANGES TO TRAFFIC RULES 2017

Mandatory equipping of cars with the ERA-GLONASS system

WITH January 1, 2017 year, the ERA-GLONASS system becomes mandatory for all cars in Russia. According to the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union, from January 1, 2017, all new cars in Russia must be equipped with the ERA-GLONASS system. For passenger cars, the system must be equipped with an automatic notification function about an accident; for commercial vehicles, manual notification using a button is sufficient. Please note that we are talking about new cars that receive vehicle type approval (VTA) after January 1, 2017. That is, those models whose OTTS has not yet expired (and OTTS is issued for a period of 3 years) can still be sold without ERA-GLONASS.

Ban on import of foreign cars from January 1, 2017 (effective January 1, 2017)

WITH January 1, 2017 restrictions on the import of foreign cars by citizens into the territory of Russia come into force. We are talking about cars that are not equipped with the ERA-GLONASS system (see above). From January 1, 2017, the Federal Customs Service will not issue a PTS when importing a car from abroad into the territory of the Russian Federation if the presence of the ERA-GLONASS emergency warning system is not indicated in the vehicle design safety certificate. The Federal Customs Service also reports that from January 1, the presence of the ERA-GLONASS system must be noted in the PTS of new cars in the “Special Notes” section. The only exception is the case when the design safety certificate was issued before January 1, 2017. In this case, a title will still be issued for the imported car, even if it does not have the ERA-GLONASS system.

Ban on officials renting powerful cars

Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree that limits the power of engines for official cars of officials: you cannot buy, rent, lease, or even call as a taxi cars with more than 200 hp. It comes into force from January 1, 2017 of the year. According to the document, for cars purchased, rented, or leased by heads of departments, their deputies and heads of departments, the maximum power will be limited to 200 hp, and the maximum cost should be less than 2.5 million rubles. The resolution “On supplementing the requirements for certain types of goods, works, services purchased by government agencies and state extra-budgetary funds” was signed on December 5, 2016 and comes into force on January 1, 2017. Let us remind you that officials are now prohibited from buying cars with state money that are more expensive than 2.5 million rubles and more powerful than 200 hp. However, nothing prevented them from renting or leasing such cars.

Parking spaces will become real estate (effective from January 1, 2017)

The State Duma of the Russian Federation adopted a law that equates parking spaces to real estate and allows them to be registered as private property. Citizens of the country will have this opportunity January 1, 2017 of the year.The text of the document states that now real estate includes not only residential and non-residential premises, but also those parts of buildings and structures that are intended to accommodate vehicles, that is, parking spaces, if the boundaries of such premises, parts of buildings or structures are described in the manner established by the legislation on cadastral registration.

The adoption of this law will make it possible to purchase such places on a mortgage and carry out the procedure for registering ownership. The document states that the boundaries of the parking space can be marked with paint on the floor, as well as with stickers or in some other way.

The sizes of parking spaces in Russia have been approved ( takes effect from January 1, 2017)

The Russian Ministry of Economic Development has determined the minimum and maximum sizes of parking spaces in Russia. The document comes into force January 1, 2017 of the year.

The minimum permissible dimensions of one parking space are set at 5.3 x 2.5 m. The maximum permissible dimensions of a parking space are 6.2 x 3.6 m. The corresponding order of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia No. 792 “On establishing the minimum and maximum permissible dimensions of a car -places” was released on December 7, 2016.

These requirements are needed to determine the area of ​​a parking space as an independent piece of real estate.

Ban on entry of non-eco-friendly trucks into Moscow (effective from January 1, 2017)

WITH January 1, 2017 This year, trucks with engines of a class below Euro-3 will not be able to drive along the Third Transport Ring (TTK) of Moscow, and trucks of a class below Euro-2 will not be able to travel along the Moscow Ring Road and inside the TTK. The press service of the Moscow City Hall reported that the ban will take effect on January 1, 2017.

Replacement of rights in the MFC (effective from February 1, 2017)

WITH February 1, 2017 This year in Russia it will be easier to replace driver's licenses - it will not be necessary to go to the traffic police.Let us recall that on January 14, 2016, a Government meeting was held, during which it was decided to simplify the replacement of rights. It was proposed to replace rights not only in the traffic police, but also in multifunctional centers (MFC) for servicing the population. Then Dmitry Medvedev instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications, the Ministry of Economic Development, and the Federal Migration Service to make appropriate changes and additions to the list of services provided by the FMC by April 15, 2016.

Previously it was planned that from November 1, 2016, it will be possible to obtain a driver’s license at the MFC in case of its loss or expiration. There you will also be able to obtain an international driving license.On August 3, 2016, Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 755 “On amendments to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of September 27, 2011 No. 797” was published, according to which the service for replacing rights will work in all MFCs from February 1, 2017.

GOST for traffic police cameras (effective from June 1, 2017)

The Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology has approved GOST standards for complexes of photo and video recording of traffic violations. According to the requirements, photo and video recording systems can be radar, laser, inductive, magnetic and piezoelectric. They have the same requirements:

  • The speed measurement range should be 20-250 km/h.
  • The probability of license plate recognition, regardless of the time of day and weather, must be at least 90%
  • Photos of the car must allow one to identify the distinctive features of the vehicle.
  • Cameras with a tracking function that record the path of the car are prohibited from measuring speed at a distance closer than 50 meters.
  • Cameras should be installed on sections of roads with poor visibility, near schools, at intersections, as well as in places with a high concentration of traffic violators and in those areas where more than three accidents with casualties occurred during the year.

These requirements come into force from June 1, 2017 of the year. As the source notes, the requirements apply to both new and existing traffic police cameras.

Complete transition to electronic PTS

The electronic form of PTS was introduced into the territory of the Eurasian Economic Union from August 17, 2016 in accordance with the decision of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission dated July 12, 2016 No. 81 “On the formats and structures of electronic passports of vehicles (electronic passports of vehicle chassis) and electronic passports of self-propelled vehicles and others types of equipment)".

From this day on, all information about the owners of the car is stored electronically in the traffic police databases. When buying a car in person, you will be able to find out the entire history of its owners. In addition, it will be possible to enter more detailed information into the electronic PTS - about maintenance, repairs, etc.

Before July 1, 2017 year, the traffic police must put these databases in order; after this date, the issuance of paper PTS forms will be completely stopped.

Ban on transporting children over 10 years of age on buses (effective from July 1, 2017)

On January 1, 2017, Resolution No. 652 of June 30, 2015 “On amendments to certain acts of the Government of the Russian Federation regarding improving the rules for the organized transportation of groups of children by bus” was supposed to come into force. According to the document, from January 1, 2017, for the organized transportation of a group of children, only a bus could be used, from the year of manufacture of which no more than 10 years have passed, which in its purpose and design meets the technical requirements for the transportation of passengers, and is approved in the prescribed manner to participate in road traffic and is equipped in the prescribed manner with a tachograph, as well as GLONASS or GLONASS/GPS satellite navigation equipment. However, as it became known on December 26, 2016, the ban on transporting children over 10 years of age by bus was postponed to July 1, 2017 of the year.

Traffic police officers will receive personal video recorders (not accepted)

In 2016, the first Moscow traffic police officers received personal video recorders that record everything that happens and record conversations. Such devices are designed to reduce corruption. In 2017, all Russian traffic police officers should receive such devices.

Paid entry into cities (not accepted)

On December 16, 2016, the State Duma in the first reading adopted a bill allowing local authorities to limit or set fees for entering cities. The corresponding amendments are contained in the bill “On the organization of road traffic”.According to the document, local authorities will be able to introduce entry fees into certain areas of the city. In addition, administrations will have the right to completely ban the passage of vehicles of certain categories or environmental classes.The document was considered by the State Duma on December 16, 2016 and adopted in the first reading. It was recommended to finalize the document for the second reading.

Changes to the rules for transporting children 2017 (not adopted)

The Ministry of Internal Affairs proposes to change the rules for transporting children over 7 years old. It is proposed to allow them to be transported in the back seat of a car not only in a car seat, but also using standard seat belts. “Children aged 7 to 11 years old must be transported in a passenger car or truck cab that is designed with seat belts using child restraint systems that are appropriate for the weight and height of the child, or using seat belts,” reads the new wording in draft document. However, you will still need to use a car seat to transport your child in the front seat of the car.

In addition, the only legal way to transport children under 7 years old is a car seat. We are talking about excluding the wording “other means” from the Traffic Rules, which now allows children to be restrained with devices such as “FEST”, etc.

The draft new document also contains a clause prohibiting the transportation of children under 12 years of age on the back seat of a motorcycle.

For a child under 7 years old left unattended in a car, it is proposed to introduce an administrative fine of 500 rubles.

As we can see, the bill involves significant changes to the rules for transporting children. However, this is precisely a bill - it has not yet been considered by the State Duma and has not been signed by the government. “We have no information that it has come into force and when this will happen. If the rules for transporting children change, we will definitely inform you about this so that there are no misunderstandings,” the traffic police of Tatarstan confirmed the information to the site. It was planned that the amendments would be adopted with January 1, 2017 of the year.

Providing cars to disabled people at the expense of the budget (not accepted)

In October 2016, a bill was introduced to the State Duma to resume issuing cars to disabled people at the expense of the federal budget. A similar practice existed previously, but was abolished in 2004. A group of deputies submitted for consideration to the State Duma a bill that includes cars in the list of special means of transportation with which disabled people are provided free of charge at the expense of the federal budget. In addition to the cars themselves, disabled people should be provided with free car conversion kits, including manual controls. If passed, this bill would come into force on January 1, 2017 of the year. However, it has not yet been accepted.

Deprivation of rights for three violations (not accepted)

On October 7, 2016, the State Duma in the first reading approved a bill on a point system of punishment for traffic violations, according to which they wanted to deprive people of their rights for three gross violations. However, after this they began to prepare amendments and modifications to the bill for consideration in the second reading.

According to the text of the document, the following violations are considered gross:

  • speeding by 40 kilometers per hour
  • driving through a red traffic light
  • driving into the oncoming lane
  • failure to give right of way to pedestrians or vehicles having right of way
  • crossing railroad tracks in the wrong place

Deputies of the lower house adopted this bill in the first reading. As experts stated, if this bill comes into force, it will not be a sufficiently effective measure to reduce the number of traffic violations, since most violations are now recorded by cameras, and the number of traffic police inspectors is being reduced. And if it is not a person who records the violations, it will not be possible to deprive the driver of his license even for three traffic violations.

As it happens, the bill is now being discussed and finalized for the second reading. In particular, the clause on not giving priority to pedestrians is causing controversy. According to social activists, this clause should be excluded from the bill, since this violation is difficult to prove and it often causes disputes between drivers and traffic inspectors. The traffic police, on the contrary, insist on this point, since according to statistics, the number of collisions with pedestrians at pedestrian crossings is growing.After all points are agreed upon, the bill will be considered in the second reading. This will most likely happen in 2017.

Fines for out-of-season tires (not accepted)

The Federation Council recommended that the State Duma speed up work on the law on fines for out-of-season tires and pass the bill in the first reading. Let us remind you that it was previously planned that the fines would come into force on December 1, 2016 or January 1, 2017. Now, even if adopted, they will come into force no earlier than September 1, 2017.

Let us recall that on October 18, 2016, the State Duma Committee on Transport and Construction recommended that the lower house of parliament adopt in the first reading draft federal law No. 464241-6 “On amendments to the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses (to ensure safety during the operation of vehicles).”

According to the bill, in Russia there should have been a fine of 2 thousand rubles for summer tires in winter (a similar fine for studded tires in summer). Moreover, drivers were offered to be fined for heavily worn tires, even if they correspond to the season.

However, the text of the bill caused controversy and criticism. In particular, it did not note the possibility of regional authorities to increase the ban on the use of tires out of season.

The first reading was scheduled for October 21, 2016, but it did not take place. On November 1, 2016, the State Duma sent the bill for revision to two relevant State Duma committees - on transport and legislation. A working group of deputies was created to finalize the bill.

On December 14, 2016, the Federation Council decided to recommend that the State Duma speed up the consideration of this bill and adopt it in the first reading. If this bill is approved, it is recommended to change the effective date of the document to September 1, 2017. It was also proposed to agree with the Ministry of Internal Affairs on the procedure for taking into account the peculiarities of climatic conditions of regions when determining the duration of the period of use of tires.

CHANGES TO MTPL 2017

Mandatory sale of electronic MTPL policies (effective January 1, 2017)

WITH January 1, 2017 This year, all insurance companies will be required to issue electronic MTPL policies. On June 11, 2016, the State Duma immediately adopted the corresponding amendments to the law on compulsory motor liability insurance in the second and third readings. From January 1, 2017, the electronic MTPL policy becomes mandatory for all insurance companies. If issuing an electronic MTPL policy is impossible due to problems with the website or technical problems, insurance companies will be obliged to immediately inform the Central Bank of the Russian Federation about this. In this case, the principles of a “single agent” will be applied - the client will be redirected to the website of another insurance company using the PTS number.

Pre-trial procedure for resolving disputes in MTPL (extended until July 1, 2017)

The pre-trial procedure for resolving disputes under compulsory motor liability insurance, which was introduced in 2014 for a period of one year, was extended to July 1, 2017 A. From September 1, 2014, a client of an insurance company who was dissatisfied with the payment under compulsory motor liability insurance had to contact the insurance company with a pre-trial appeal. Only if he received a refusal during pre-trial appeal could he file a claim in court. The mandatory pre-trial procedure for resolving disputes in the field of compulsory motor liability insurance began to operate in 2014 for a period of one year. As explained by the head of the All-Russian Union of Insurers, Igor Yurgens, initially temporary restrictions on the validity of the norm were provided because the adoption of the law on the financial ombudsman was expected. It was he who was supposed to take on the function of pre-trial work with insurers' clients. But the draft law on the ombudsman is still in the State Duma. Therefore, the deputies decided to extend the rule on the claims procedure for resolving disputes in MTPL.

Compensation in kind in MTPL instead of payments (not accepted)

On December 14, 2016, the bill on compensation in kind under compulsory motor liability insurance was adopted by the State Duma in the first reading. The Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance agreed on amendments to the bill and prepared it for the second reading, which could take place as early as January 10, 2017.

Let us remind you that one of the most ardently supported reforms by insurance companies is the priority of referrals for repairs over cash payments or the so-called in-kind compensation under MTPL. In other words, instead of cash payments, insurers want to give clients injured in road accidents a referral for repairs at a service station or car service center.

On December 14, 2016, the law on compensation in kind under compulsory motor liability insurance was adopted by the State Duma in the first reading. However, it was recommended to finalize the bill for the second reading.

According to the latest amendments, in-kind compensation under compulsory motor liability insurance will be valid only for passenger cars of individuals. For trucks, buses and cars of legal entities, the procedure for compensation for damage will not change.

The client will choose an organization for repairs from the list proposed by the insurer; he must receive a referral for repairs within 20 days after contacting the insurance company and conducting an examination.

As for the requirements for car services and service stations for repairs under compulsory motor liability insurance, their list will be approved by the Central Bank. If the client is sent to a service station that does not meet the requirements, he has the right to refuse repairs and receive a cash payment.

A number of exceptions have been added when the car owner will still be able to receive payment in cash instead of repairs:

  • the car cannot be restored
  • the amount of damage is higher than the maximum payment under compulsory motor liability insurance (400 thousand rubles)
  • difficult life circumstances (death of the driver, severe injuries, inability to drive, etc.).

In the latter case, the presence of such circumstances will be checked by a special commission under the RSA.The second reading of the bill is expected to take place on January 10, 2017. With a high degree of probability we can say that the amendments will be adopted. In this case, the bill may come into force from March 1, 2017 of the year.

MTPL coefficient for traffic violations (not accepted)

In 2016, the Ministry of Finance introduced a tenth increasing coefficient into the draft amendments to the law on compulsory motor insurance, which will take into account the number of gross traffic violations. According to the latest data, the coefficient values ​​look like this:

  • from 5 to 9 gross violations per year - coefficient 1.86
  • from 10 to 14 violations - coefficient 2.06
  • from 15 to 19 violations - coefficient 2.26
  • from 20 to 24 violations - coefficient 2.45
  • from 25 to 29 violations - coefficient 2.65
  • from 30 to 34 violations - coefficient 2.85
  • more than 35 violations - coefficient 3.04.

That is, for the worst violators of traffic rules, compulsory motor liability insurance can rise in price by more than 3 times. Now the matter remains with the Central Bank - it must approve or adjust the above coefficients. One thing is clear for sure - the tenth coefficient will in any case appear in the formula for calculating compulsory motor liability insurance. According to RSA, they can begin to calculate compulsory motor liability insurance using the new formula as early as January 1, 2017. But these amendments have not yet been adopted.

Cancel motor power factor (not accepted)

One of the pleasant innovations for drivers is that it is planned to exclude the coefficient taking into account the power of the car engine from the calculation of compulsory motor liability insurance. Experts have long proven the meaninglessness of this coefficient in terms of its impact on the number of accidents and payments. Fortunately, this amendment still remained in the latest draft.

Separate limits for compulsory motor liability insurance (not accepted)

One of the innovations that was not previously announced is the division of policies into three types depending on the maximum amount of compensation for damage - with limits of 500 thousand rubles, 1 million rubles. and 2 million rubles.

Surcharges for false information (not accepted)

For providing the insurer with knowingly false information that influenced the reduction in the price of the policy, the new bill provides for increasing premiums. The same applies to deliberate assistance in the occurrence of an insured event - this will also result in an increase in the cost of the MTPL policy.

OSAGO coefficient for “dangerous driving” (not accepted)

The latest version of the bill contains a proposal to introduce a coefficient for careful or dangerous driving. However, how this will be taken into account is not yet clear.

OSAGO for three years (not accepted)

The Russian Ministry of Finance proposed in the fall of 2016 to consider in the State Duma a bill that would increase the validity period of the compulsory motor liability insurance policy to 2 or 3 years. Let us remind you that now the maximum validity period of a compulsory motor liability insurance policy is 12 months. RSA came out categorically against this innovation. Insurers motivated their opinion by the fact that multi-year MTPL contracts will lead to an increase in losses and problems with calculating the accident-free coefficient (bonus-malus). This sentence was also removed from the latest edition.

Cancellation of the regional OSAGO coefficient (not accepted)

The Ministry of Finance took the initiative to abolish the regional coefficient when calculating compulsory motor liability insurance. Let us remind you that the regional coefficient is one of the main coefficients that affects the cost of the MTPL policy. Depending on your registration, the MTPL policy may become more expensive or cheaper. The logic of this coefficient is that the larger the settlement, the more cars there are, the higher the probability of an accident, and accordingly the policy costs more.

RSA, as in the case of the initiative to cancel the engine power factor, opposed it. As stated in the union of auto insurers, the regional coefficient cannot be abolished, since this is one of the main coefficients reflecting the unprofitability of a business under compulsory motor liability insurance. This amendment was removed from the latest edition.

Monopolization of compulsory motor liability insurance by the state (not accepted)

From January 1, 2017, all insurers in Russia will be required to provide the online MTPL service. If within six months this does not improve the situation with the availability of MTPL on the market, then the state can monopolize the entire MTPL system, taking away this function from insurance companies. Based on the results of the first half of 2017, the Bank of Russia may begin to explore the option of monopolizing the compulsory motor insurance market through the platform of the National Reinsurance Company (NPK) it recently created, TASS reports. This will happen if, from January 1, 2017, within six months, electronic MTPL fails to stabilize the MTPL market. Monopolization of compulsory motor liability insurance can be accomplished through the authorization of reinsurance in compulsory motor liability insurance. Currently, such a mechanism is prohibited, but the new amendments to OSAGO do not prohibit reinsurance. Thus, in fact, this means the creation of a single state company for compulsory motor liability insurance represented by NPK: the remaining insurance companies will act only as agents for the sale of policies.

New limits under the European protocol (not accepted)

The draft law provides for an increase from 50 thousand rubles to 100 thousand rubles in the maximum amount of insurance payment made for road accidents, documents about which were drawn up without the participation of police officers (Euro protocol).

In addition, the Bank of Russia is given the right to determine the form of notification of an accident according to the European protocol.

Fine for not having a green card (not accepted)

According to the amendments, drivers traveling abroad without a green card will face a fine. The Customs Service is vested with the corresponding powers.

State procurement compulsory motor liability insurance (not accepted)

The document clarifies the procedure for concluding MTPL contracts within the framework of state and municipal contracts for compulsory insurance: the calculation of the insurance premium under such contracts is carried out in accordance with the insurance tariffs in effect on the date of publication of the procurement documentation.

Recourse requirements (not accepted)

The draft law clarifies the list of grounds for the insurer that paid the insurance compensation to file a recourse claim against the person responsible for the damage caused. At the same time, it is not allowed to present such a requirement to the pedestrian at fault in the road accident, who was injured, mutilated or died as a result of the accident, as well as to his relatives and heirs.

Inspection for tractors (not accepted)

To ensure control over the fulfillment of the obligation to undergo a technical inspection by owners of tractors, self-propelled road construction and other machines, in accordance with the draft law, they are required to provide the insurer with a certificate of technical inspection in relation to these vehicles in order to conclude a compulsory motor liability insurance agreement.

Requirements for the RSA database (not accepted)

To ensure the completeness and reliability of the information contained in the automated information system of compulsory insurance, the draft federal law provides a list of mandatory information that must be entered into the specified information system. In addition, the obligation of the professional association of insurers is introduced to provide such information free of charge to the persons to whom it relates, and also, at the request of such persons, to carry out, together with insurers, a check of the correctness and, if necessary, adjustment of the information contained in the RSA database.

Requirements for compensation payments RSA (not accepted)

The bill establishes a special legal regime for the implementation of compensation payments by RSA, aimed at reducing cases of spending compensation funds on payments that are not directly provided for by the Federal Law on Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance, but are mandatory for it, in particular due to court decisions. To this end, the draft federal law:

  • the list of persons who have the right to make a claim for compensation payment is specified;
  • limitation period for claims for compensation payments;
  • claims procedure for resolving disputes regarding the implementation of compensation payments;
  • provides for the non-application of the provisions of the Law of the Russian Federation of February 7, 1992 No. 2300-1 “On the Protection of Consumer Rights” to relations regarding the implementation of compensation payments by a professional association of insurers due to the absence of a consumer in these legal relations.

TAXES, DUTIES, FINALES of the traffic police 2017

30% discount on state duty ( entered into force on January 1, 2017)

WITH January 1, 2017This year, motorists can receive a 30% discount when paying duties through government service portals. Corresponding changes have been made to paragraph 4 of Article 333.35 of Part 2 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

To receive a discount on the state duty, you need to fulfill two mandatory conditions:

  • submit an application for the required service electronically
  • pay the state fee also electronically

All these actions can be performed through federal or regional government services portals.

It is worth noting that a similar opportunity existed before, but only when receiving the service electronically. After the above amendments come into force, you need to submit an application and pay the fee electronically, and you can receive the service not only electronically, but also during a personal visit to the traffic police or MFC: in both options a 30% discount will be available.


Increase in fees for issuing licenses (not accepted)

The Cabinet of Ministers instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Finance to prepare amendments to the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, which will increase the fee for issuing driver's licenses and vehicle registration certificates (VRC). These departments must prepare their proposals by December 2016. Let us remind you that currently the state duty for issuing a driver's license is 2,000 rubles, for registering a car and issuing a vehicle registration certificate - 2,850 rubles with the issuance or replacement of license plates and 850 rubles - without license plates. If the amendments are adopted, the fee for issuing rights and STS may increase as early as January 1, 2017. However, the amendments have not yet been approved.

Cancellation of property tax on cars for enterprises (not accepted)

The Cabinet of Ministers has submitted to the State Duma a bill that would abolish the property tax on cars under 3 years old for legal entities. As stated by Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, such a measure should stimulate the renewal of enterprise fleets and support domestic automakers. Changes must be made to clause 25 of Art. 381 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, which regulates property tax benefits. According to the amendments, property tax on cars manufactured after January 1, 2013 will be abolished for legal entities. It was assumed that the amendments could come into force on January 1, 2017. However, they have not yet been accepted.

Fine for lack of technical inspection (not accepted)

On October 26, 2016, the State Duma received a draft law on technical inspection. According to the amendments, from January 1, 2017, a fine for the lack of technical inspection for owners of all vehicles may come into force in Russia. Repeated violations will result in deprivation of rights. The State Duma received draft federal law No. 13843-7 “On amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation regarding the organization of technical inspection of vehicles.” The bill was prepared by Federation Council member Viktor Ozerov. According to the bill, the fine for lack of technical inspection will range from 500 to 800 rubles. In addition to a fine, the driver faces a ban on operating a vehicle that has not passed the technical inspection or received a negative conclusion on compliance with safety standards. Repeated violation may result in a fine of 5 thousand rubles or deprivation of rights for a period of 1 to 3 months. Currently, only drivers of passenger taxis, buses, trucks intended for transporting people, and specialized vehicles intended for transporting dangerous goods are fined for lack of technical inspection. In addition to the fine, the text of the document stipulates the transfer of the right to accreditation of inspection operators from the Russian Union of Auto Insurers (RUA) to Rosaccreditation, which we reported earlier. It is also proposed to introduce a minimum and maximum tariff for technical inspection. If the bill is adopted, all these amendments may come into force as early as January 1, 2017. They have not yet been accepted.

Increasing tariffs of the Platon system (effective from April 15, 2017)

From April 15, 2017, tariffs of the Platon system will immediately double - to 3.06 rubles per kilometer. The corresponding decree of the Government of the Russian Federation was signed on January 31 and officially published on February 3, 2017.

Let us remind you that there is now a temporary reduction factor in the tariff and truck drivers pay 1.53 rubles per kilometer. According to the document, from April 15, 2017, when calculating the amount of payment for owners of cars with a permissible maximum weight over 12 tons, a coefficient of 0.82 will be applied. This will increase federal budget revenues, which will be used for further development of the network of public roads of regional, intermunicipal and local significance, according to the explanatory note to the document.

In addition, in order to reduce the financial burden on road carriers, the start date for the annual indexation of the fee in accordance with the actual change in the consumer price index is postponed from July 1, 2017 to July 1, 2018. That is, the next tariff increase is possible as early as July 2018.

Fine for dangerous driving 2017 (not accepted)

On November 25, 2016, a bill introducing a fine of 5,000 rubles for dangerous driving was submitted to the State Duma for consideration.

According to the new rules, “Dangerous driving” is the repeated commission of one or more consecutive actions, if these actions resulted in the driver creating a situation in the process of traffic in which his movement and (or) the movement of other drivers in the same direction and with at the same speed creates a threat of death or injury to people, damage to vehicles, structures, cargo or other material damage.

The list of such actions is clearly stated:

  • failure to comply with the requirement to give way to a vehicle enjoying the right of way when changing lanes;
  • changing lanes during heavy traffic when all lanes are occupied, except when turning left or right, making a U-turn, stopping or avoiding an obstacle;
  • failure to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle moving ahead;
  • non-compliance with the lateral interval;
  • sudden braking, if such braking is not required to prevent a traffic accident;
  • preventing overtaking.

In the summer, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia prepared a bill “On amendments to the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses in terms of establishing administrative liability for dangerous driving.”

The bill proposes to supplement Chapter 12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation with a new article 12.28.1, establishing administrative liability in the form of an administrative fine in the amount of 5 thousand rubles for the driver of a vehicle committing actions qualified as “dangerous driving.”

The Ministry of Internal Affairs notes that it will be possible to fine for dangerous driving only if there is a video recording proving repeated violation of traffic rules. At the same time, in addition to recordings from automatic recording cameras or video recordings of traffic police officers, it is planned to consider recordings from drivers’ DVRs.

On November 25, 2016, the Government of the Russian Federation submitted a fine for dangerous driving to the State Duma for consideration. However, it has not yet been approved.

Fine for novice drivers (not accepted)

In the fall of 2016, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs prepared amendments to the traffic rules that limit speed for novice drivers with less than 2 years of experience.

Let us remind you that previously drivers whose driving experience is less than 2 years were asked to legally limit the maximum speed to 70 km/h when driving on any roads. In addition, they wanted to prohibit such drivers from towing a car, and novice moped and motorcycle drivers from transporting passengers.

Deputy Head of the Main Directorate for Road Safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Vladimir Kuzin presented the amended draft document to the public.

It was decided to abandon the introduction of speed limits. But they still want to ban towing for novice car drivers and transporting passengers for novice moped and motorcycle drivers.

In addition, it is proposed to fine novice drivers who do not install the appropriate sign on the car window by 500 rubles under Part 1 of Article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

PETROL PRICES 2017

In 2016, excise taxes in Russia were increased twice - from January 1 and April 1. According to the current project, excise taxes on fuel were supposed to decrease from January 1, 2017. However, on October 22, 2016, the Ministry of Finance published a new project, according to which excise taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel will be increased in 2017. According to the latest information, current excise taxes will remain only on gasoline that does not correspond to class 5 - 13,100 rubles per ton. In 2017, it is proposed to set the excise tax rate for class 5 gasoline at 10,130 rubles per 1 ton. The excise tax on diesel fuel in 2017 is proposed to be set at 6,800 rubles per 1 ton. Thus, when this project is signed, excise taxes on fuel in Russia will traditionally increase from January 1 of the new year.

The changes to the traffic rules regarding restrictions for novice drivers with less than two years of experience, introduced today by the Government, are absolutely adequate and reasonable, said the head of the Federation of Car Owners of Russia Sergei Kanaev to the Parliamentary Newspaper.

“If a person just got behind the wheel, why should he transport passengers on motorbikes? So many deaths, why spread it further? A novice driver should be told: “First, guy, learn to drive yourself, when this is your only life, and then get everyone else to join you,” Kanaev said. The rule banning the carriage of passengers for novice drivers, he said, is in effect in many countries and really helps improve road safety.

As for the ban on the transportation of large cargo, trailers, and towing for drivers with little experience, this is also normal, Kanaev is sure.

“Let a person see how this is done, maybe someone will teach him this on the road, because they don’t teach this in driving schools, it takes practice. Those who have just received a license do not understand how to do this,” said the head of the Federation of Car Owners.

Regarding penalties for the lack of identification marks, “a novice driver” is also a “not out of the ordinary” restriction, Kanaev is sure.

“When you see this icon, you react normally. And when you don’t understand what’s happening, why a person stood in the middle of the road and what he wants to do, this, of course, annoys car owners. They start getting out of their cars, honking their horns... And when you see that it’s a newcomer, you drive around calmly and move on,” said Sergei Kanaev.

It will be easier for beginners if they are marked on the road, he is sure. But, unfortunately, not everyone is going to install these signs on their cars, which is why penalties are introduced.

“You can easily buy this “novice driver” badge for a maximum of 200 rubles, there are no problems - stick it on and drive normally,” Kanaev concluded.

Let us recall that back in February of this year, it was proposed to introduce restrictions for inexperienced motorists in the Union of Moscow Driving Schools. Including bans on driving at night, on federal highways, a special speed limit, a ban on transporting passengers and cargo, a two-year probationary period for obtaining a license and a temporary driver's license for beginners.

Of all the proposals, the traffic rules include a ban for drivers with less than two years of experience in driving towing vehicles, transporting passengers on a motorcycle and operating vehicles in the absence of a “novice driver” identification sign (a yellow square with a black exclamation mark is installed at the rear of the vehicle).

For violating the towing rules in the Code of Administrative Offences, there is a warning or a fine of 500 rubles; for transporting a passenger on a motorcycle and for the lack of an identification mark, newcomers will also face a fine of 500 rubles.

Every year the number of cars on the roads is growing. This is largely due to the replenishment of the ranks of car enthusiasts by novice drivers. Of course, in any study there are exceptions, but as the data shows, for the first year after driving school a person drives very carefully and does not exceed the speed limit, but is overly nervous, which is often the cause of even minor, but very unpleasant accidents. After a year of driving, most people experience euphoria and the person is completely confident that he has a wealth of experience, as they say, “the sea is up to his knees.” It is at this time that newcomers become involved in serious road accidents. In this regard, in our country, a novice driver is a kind of separate category, which has certain restrictions. We will talk about who novice drivers are, what will now be required of them and what will be prohibited from them starting in 2017 in our new article.

As you know, you can get a driver’s license to drive a car or a powerful motorcycle in our country from the age of 18. Based on the current Traffic Rules, a novice driver in our country is considered to be a citizen with less than two years of driving experience. Employees of the State Traffic Inspectorate note that based on the results of numerous surveys of people who have just received their license, a clear conclusion can be made that beginners themselves admit discomfort and fear in driving a car in the first year. After graduating from a driving school, knowledge of the theory of traffic rules is sufficient, but practice, as a rule, is not enough.

We can’t do without sad statistics. In 2016, about 12 thousand accidents occurred on the country’s roads involving new drivers, almost 17 thousand people suffered injuries of varying severity, and more than a thousand lost their lives.

There are many reasons for this - the learning process in driving schools, the lack of sufficient practice for novice car enthusiasts and restrictions for them. Having actually received the license in hand, a person can immediately go out onto the track and “drive” at maximum speed in the far left lane. For many European countries this is out of the question.

For example, in Germany, after graduating from a driving school, the driver is given a temporary license with which he drives for a year. After this, a special service studies whether he had any violations and in what quantity? If the driver does not follow the traffic rules in good faith and there are many violations, then his temporary license is extended for another year and he is offered a voluntary-compulsory re-training. This can last until the behavior of the newcomer suits the control inspection. Thanks to this practice, the number of accidents involving novice drivers in Germany is decreasing from year to year.

We are still a long way from such restrictions, however, novice drivers are already faced with certain financial barriers when applying for insurance. , like CASCO for beginners, is much more expensive than for experienced drivers. But this limitation is more related to the financial risks of insurance companies.

The first legislative “swallow” was, within the framework of which novice drivers face fines for violating certain requirements for them. Despite criticism from auto experts and road safety specialists, this legal act has been adopted and is in force in our country. With the release of this Government Resolution, we can clearly talk about strengthening control over motorists - novice drivers in the Russian Federation.

Mandatory identification badge for novice driver


“Beginner Driver” sign

Before the adoption of Government Decree No. 333 of March 24, 2017, novice drivers could, at their discretion, inform other road users about their lack of experience driving a vehicle. Some glued a “teapot”, others an orange square with an exclamation mark.

Now a single standard has been established for all novice drivers. In accordance with the List of faults in which the operation of a vehicle is prohibited according to the Traffic Rules, it is prohibited to drive a vehicle that is not equipped with warning signs. This is stated in paragraph 7.15(1) of this List of faults.

In accordance with paragraph 8 of the Regulations on permission to drive a vehicle, if the driver is driving with less than 2 years of experience, then the car must have a special identification sign for a novice driver. This sign is a yellow square with a black exclamation mark, which is located at the rear of the vehicle, usually on the left rear window in the upper or lower corner.

Fine for driving without a sign for a novice driver

If a traffic police officer, when checking a driver’s documents, determines that with less than two years of driving experience, a novice driver sticker will not be placed on the rear window of his car, then he will face an administrative fine.

Responsibility for the lack of a special identification sign for novice drivers is established by Part 1 of Article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. According to this standard, a novice driver who fails to sign will face a fine of 500 rubles.

What is prohibited for novice drivers?

The next change to the Rules of the Road was the restriction for novice drivers to tow vehicles. Section 20 of the Russian Road Traffic Regulations is supplemented by clause 20.2(1), which states that driving a towing vehicle is possible for drivers with more than 2 years of driving experience.

If a traffic police officer determines that a novice driver is towing, he will face a fine of 500 rubles in accordance with Article 12.21 “Violation of towing rules” of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

Another innovation of the Government Resolution No. 333 of March 24, 2017 was Article 22.2(1) of the Road Traffic Rules, which introduces a ban for novice motorcyclists to carry passengers. For this offense, the driver faces a fine of 500 rubles under Article 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

These changes caused a storm of discussion and controversy among both car enthusiasts and car experts. Some argue that increasing responsibility for novice drivers will help reduce accidents. Others believe that these changes will only worsen the situation on the road. As you know, many “experienced” drivers provoke newcomers with an exclamation mark by cutting off and sharp braking. In addition, a very large number of people, having received their license, do not drive for several years. After two years, with virtually no experience, they hit the road as an experienced driver. However, the Russian Government’s policy for monitoring novice drivers has been outlined, amendments have been approved and included in the current edition of the Traffic Rules, which means you will have to comply with them or pay an administrative fine.

Do you support stricter traffic rules for novice drivers?

In 2017, a number of changes to the traffic rules were adopted and introduced. New traffic police laws are designed to strengthen safety measures on the road. Certain amendments were made to existing laws in order to optimize some issues.

The new traffic police laws have affected all car owners to one degree or another. The main aspects of the innovations will be discussed below.

Since the beginning of 2017 the ERA-GLONASS system becomes mandatory for all cars. It is prescribed that in passenger cars such a system must have an automatic accident notification function. In connection with this innovation, a ban is introduced on the import of foreign cars without this system. Exceptions are those machines for which the design safety certificate was issued before January 1, 2017.

New law on traffic police fines for lack of technical inspection provides the following tariffs:

  • the first penalty for lack of technical inspection will be 500-800 rubles, a ban on further operation of the vehicle is possible;
  • repeated fine is determined by the amount from 5 thousand, deprivation of driver's license is allowed up to three months.

The amendments will affect owners of all vehicles.

New laws in the traffic police affected novice drivers. These are considered to be those car owners whose driving experience is less than two years. Traffic police law on novice drivers of March 24, 2017 introduced the following regulations:

  • It is prohibited to tow vehicles;
  • Carrying passengers on motorcycles and mopeds is not allowed;
  • It is mandatory to have a “novice driver” sign.

Along with these provisions, new laws in the traffic police prescribe mandatory presence of the following signs:

  • road train;
  • thorns;
  • transportation of children;
  • deaf driver;
  • training vehicle;
  • Speed ​​Limit;
  • dangerous goods;
  • large cargo;
  • low-speed vehicle;
  • long vehicle;
  • novice driver.

If the corresponding sign must be available and it is missing, the traffic police inspector for new traffic rules has the right to prohibit further use of the car from April 4.

On March 23, 2017, a Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation was issued, which introduced some changes to driver's license replacement:

  • if re-issuance is not carried out due to the expired validity period, a new certificate is issued for 10 years;
  • You can change your rights at your own request, without specifying a reason.

Since 2017, traffic police laws have been actively implemented electronic document system. She touched upon MTPL policies, as well as the vehicle passport.

According to the new traffic police laws, a fine of 5 thousand rubles for dangerous driving. The term was introduced in 2016 and implies the following actions:

  • refusal to give way to a vehicle having the right of way;
  • changing lanes or other maneuvers during heavy traffic, with the exception of cases of a controlled turn, stopping or avoiding an obstacle;
  • refusal to maintain a minimum distance from vehicles moving ahead;
  • failure to comply with lateral distance regulations;
  • sudden braking, if it is not related to preventing an accident;
  • carrying out maneuvers that prevent overtaking.

A number of amendments to the traffic police laws affected the following aspects of traffic rules:

  • adoption is expected from September 1, 2017 traffic police law on tires, dressed inappropriately for the current season, a fine of 2 thousand is expected;
  • according to the new traffic police laws payment of transport tax is canceled for large families;
  • allowed purchasing vehicles for disabled people at the expense of budgetary funds;
  • parking places receive real estate status, requirements for their design and size are developed;
  • according to the new traffic police laws, entry into cities or certain areas becomes paid, the situation is subject to regional regulations to control traffic and environmental conditions;
  • rise tariffs according to the “Platon” system within the framework of the provisions adopted in 2015;
  • a legislative initiative is being developed according to which traffic police and traffic police officers will have to wear their own DVR— it is assumed that such a law will eliminate illegal actions of traffic police inspectors.

Separately, it is necessary to point out the new traffic rules law from April 10, 2017. Information that drivers will be required to ride with helmets without an airbag, was refuted by an official statement from a representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

What do you know about installing a towbar on a car? Do I need to register a towbar for a passenger car? Answers

About OSAGO

The new traffic police laws have affected one of the most important issues for car owners - the MTPL policy. In addition to the introduction of its electronic version, the following came into force in 2017: changes:

  • the insurance company does not allocate money to the victim, but transfers it to a repair company with which it has concluded a corresponding agreement;
  • control over the insurer in fulfilling its obligations is strengthened;
  • the repair period is determined by a maximum value of 30 days, for each day of delay a fine of 0.5% of the total amount is charged;
  • It is not allowed to use used parts for repairs;
  • independent examination is abolished;
  • The period for filing complaints to the MTPL insurer has been increased to 10 days;
  • The minimum validity period of an MTPL insurance policy is one year.

The amendments imply an increase in the insurance cost coefficient according to the number of traffic violations. If there are more than 35 of them per year, the cost of the policy increases more than three times.

Transportation of children

New traffic police laws regulate amendments to the rules for transporting children:

  • child under 7 years old may only be transported in special chairs;
  • child from 7 to 11 years old may be transported in the rear seat using specially adapted seat belts;
  • children under 12 years old It is not allowed to be transported in the front seat without a special car seat;
  • not allowed to leave child under 7 years old one person in the car, a fine of up to 500 rubles is expected;
  • It is not allowed to transport children on buses whose age over 10 years old.

Notification for group transportation of children in electronic format is submitted to the traffic police department no later than two days before it takes place. The driver and vehicle are checked for compliance and a permit is issued.

Good afternoon, dear reader.

This article will discuss the changes that have been made to the text since April 4, 2017. Starting from this date, new clauses were added to the rules, which introduced additional restrictions for drivers with less than 2 years of driving experience.

In addition, the changes affected the maximum speed of motorcycles, as well as the rules for using identification marks (novice driver, road train, deaf driver, etc.). Let's take a closer look at the innovations.

Maximum speed of motorcycles on highways

Let's consider paragraph 10.3 of the traffic rules:

10.3.

  • for cars and trucks with a permissible maximum weight of no more than 3.5 tons on highways - at a speed of no more than 110 km/h, on other roads - no more than 90 km/h;
  • intercity and small buses and motorcycles on all roads - no more than 90 km/h;

10.3. Movement outside populated areas is permitted:

  • motorcycles, cars and trucks with a permissible maximum weight of no more than 3.5 tons on highways - at a speed of no more than 110 km/h, on other roads - no more than 90 km/h;
  • intercity and small buses on all roads - no more than 90 km/h;

Thus, starting from April 4, 2017, motorcyclists can ride at a speed of 110 km/h. Previously the limit was 90 km/h.

Towing restrictions for novice drivers

Let's consider the new paragraph 20.2 1 of the traffic rules:

20.2 1 . When towing, driving towing vehicles must be carried out by drivers who have been licensed to drive vehicles for 2 years or more.

Let's look at the new point in parts:

  • This paragraph applies only to towing motor vehicles. Those. trailer towing Any driver can perform this and it will not be a violation.
  • The restrictions apply only to the driver of the towing vehicle, i.e. pulling car (driving in front). A driver with any experience can drive a second car.
  • The driver of the towing vehicle must have the right to drive any vehicle for 2 or more years.

For example, if a driver received a category M license at the age of 16, and a category B license at the age of 18, then since his experience is more than 2 years, he can immediately perform towing.

In this case, the restriction applies specifically to novice drivers, i.e. having a driver's license of any category for less than 2 years. Please note that restrictions for motorcyclists will be discussed below, which apply not only to novice drivers, although the wording of the rule paragraph is similar.

Fine for violation of towing rules is provided for in Article 12.21 of the Code of Administrative Offenses and amounts to 500 rubles(or warning):

1. Violation of the rules for the carriage of goods, as well as the rules of towing -

The driver of the second car cannot tow the first car, because... this is prohibited by the new clause 20.2 1 of the rules. The fine for violation will be 500 rubles.

Another possible option is to swap cars. However, since the drivers are not included in the MTPL insurance, it will be 500 rubles (for each driver).

What is the best way to proceed in this case? It's actually quite simple. You need to ask the traffic police officers, who are preparing to issue a fine, to help pull the car out of the mud.

Restrictions on the transport of people on motorcycles and mopeds

Let's consider the updated clause 22.2 1 of the traffic rules:

22.2 1 . Transportation of people on a motorcycle must be carried out by a driver who has a driver's license for the right to drive vehicles of category "A" or subcategory "A1" for 2 or more years, transportation of people on a moped must be carried out by a driver who has a driver's license for the right to drive vehicles of any category or subcategories for 2 or more years.

This item consists of two parts, for motorcycles and for mopeds. Let's look at them separately.

Restrictions for moped drivers

Everything is quite simple here. To transport people on a moped, the driver must have a driving license of any category for 2 years or longer. Those. a novice driver does not have the right to transport people on a moped.

Let me remind you that a driver’s license is currently suitable for driving mopeds, in which any category is open.

Restrictions for motorcyclists

Restrictions for motorcyclists are a little more complex. To transport people on a motorcycle, you must have a driver's license of category A or subcategory A1 for 2 years. Please note that this restriction does not only apply to novice drivers.

For example, a driver has 40 years of experience driving category B, C, D cars and wants to switch to a motorcycle after retirement. He receives a category A driver's license and buys a motorcycle with a cradle, which he and his wife plan to ride to the dacha.

From the point of view of traffic regulations, such a driver cannot be called a beginner, since his driving experience exceeds 2 years. However, the driver cannot transport passengers for 2 years.

In this case, the driver can only put the motorcycle in the garage and put the license on the shelf to return to the idea in 2 years. Naturally, during this time the driver will not become more experienced. Rather, on the contrary, he will partially lose the skills acquired in a driving school.

The fine for violating the rules for transporting passengers is provided for in Part 1 and is 500 rubles:

1. Violation of the rules for transporting people, with the exception of cases provided for in parts 2 - 6 of this article, -

shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred rubles.

Features of installing the “Beginner Driver” sign

Minor changes have also been made to the description of the “Beginner Driver” sign:

"Beginner Driver"- in the form of a yellow square (side 150 mm) with a black exclamation mark 110 mm high - behind motor vehicles (except for tractors, self-propelled vehicles and motorcycles) driven by drivers who have been licensed to drive these vehicles for less than 2 years.

"Beginner Driver"- in the form of a yellow square (side 150 mm) with an image of a black exclamation mark 110 mm high - behind motor vehicles (except for tractors, self-propelled vehicles, motorcycles and mopeds), driven by drivers who have been licensed to drive these vehicles for less than 2 years.

Until April 4, 2017, the “Beginner Driver” sign had to be installed on the back of mopeds. The new edition of the traffic rules cancels this requirement.

Introduction of a fine for lack of identification marks

7.15 1 . There are no identification marks that must be installed in accordance with the Basic Provisions for the admission of vehicles to operation and the duties of officials to ensure road safety, approved by Resolution of the Council of Ministers - Government of the Russian Federation of October 23, 1993 N 1090 "On Road Traffic Rules" ".

Starting from April 4, 2017, the operation of vehicles that do not have identification marks is prohibited. We are talking about the following signs:


  • Road train.
  • Transportation of children.
  • Deaf driver.
  • Training vehicle.
  • Speed ​​Limit.
  • Dangerous cargo.
  • Large cargo.
  • Slow moving vehicle.
  • Long vehicle.
  • Novice driver.

Thus, for the absence of the signs listed above, it is possible to receive a fine of 500 rubles(Part 1 of Article 12.5 of the Administrative Code):

1. Driving a vehicle in the presence of malfunctions or conditions under which, in accordance with the Basic Provisions for the admission of vehicles to operation and the duties of officials to ensure road safety, operation of the vehicle is prohibited, with the exception of malfunctions and conditions specified in parts 2 - 7 of this article, -

entails a warning or the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred rubles.

Additional penalties (for example,) are not imposed.

Please note that, unlike for illegal installation of the signs listed above, there is no penalty.

For example, you can install the "Beginner Driver" sign immediately after receiving your driver's license at age 18 and not remove it until retirement. This will not be a violation.

One more important note regarding all innovations. The new rules for novice drivers have nothing to do with the presence of the “Beginner Driver” sign on the car. Only the experience of a particular driver matters.

For example, a car is used by several drivers (mother and daughter). The daughter is a novice driver, and this is evidenced by the identification mark on the rear bumper. However, this sign does not impose restrictions on the second driver of the car. If the mother is driving, she can tow other cars without removing the sign. This will not be a violation.

The same applies to the reverse situation. If the towing vehicle does not have a “Beginner Driver” identification sign, but is driven by a driver with less than two years of driving experience, then this driver risks receiving 2 fines at once (for lack of a sign and for violating towing rules).

In conclusion, I suggest you read the full text of the updated traffic rules:

Good luck on the roads!

Alexey-232

It’s good that people with less than 2 years of experience were not allowed to accelerate over 70 km/h...

“Please note that for the illegal installation of the signs listed above, unlike the Disabled sign, there is no penalty.”

Apparently they forgot to add the “Training Vehicle” sign. ;)

Can I not put a “Beginner Driver” sign on my car if I have a category “A” license, which is more than two years old, and a category “B” license, which is less than two years old.

Correct the typo (there is a ride):

For example, you can install a "Spikes" sign and eat with it all year round. This will not be a violation.

Another example related to towing. Two cars went on a joint off-road trip to the dacha. The driver of the first car has 20 years of driving experience. The driver of the second car is the son of the first driver, who has just received his driver's license. The more experienced driver goes first and gets stuck in a muddy ditch. What to do?

You can also issue a power of attorney to an experienced driver and he will be able to drive a car without an MTPL policy and nothing will happen to him for it. According to the MTPL Law, the owner of a car is obliged to insure his liability under MTPL within 10 days...

I didn't understand, with the "Beginner Driver" sticker. For example, a father with 20 years of experience does not want to see this sticker on his car, but from time to time his son gets behind the wheel of a vehicle, having no more than six months of driving experience. Should I rip it off every time?

Just buy a sticker on a suction cup and you will be happy.

Roman-87, interest Ask. Description of the "Beginner Driver" sign:

“Beginner driver” - in the form of a yellow square (side 150 mm) with a black exclamation mark 110 mm high - behind motor vehicles(except for tractors, self-propelled vehicles, motorcycles and mopeds) driven by drivers who have the right to drive the specified vehicles less than 2 years.

If the driver has the right to drive motor vehicles for less than 2 years, then an identification plate must be installed. The category doesn't matter.

Those. If you have a category A license for more than 2 years, then you do not need to hang up the “Beginner Driver” sign.

Good luck on the roads!

Roman-88, thanks for the note, the article has been updated.

Good luck on the roads!

Why is nothing said about transporting large cargo for beginners?

Mikhail-101

My question is, my son has exactly 2 years of experience, does he fall under these changes?

Shouldn’t you wait until tomorrow, when you’ve already had 2 years and 1 day of experience? Or is it necessary to carry a passenger on a moped today?

meteorhost, because no changes were introduced in this regard.

Good luck on the roads!

Hello. Tell. In ticket 7, question 10 “At what speed are motorcycles allowed to travel outside populated areas on all roads?” - now the answer is correct (No more than 90 km/h.) Due to the last edit, a discrepancy appears. How to be. Are we waiting for the question and answer to be updated or am I misunderstanding something? Thanks in advance for your answer.

Colleagues, hello.

the question is:

The traffic rules say: “Vehicles must be equipped with identification marks:

"Spikes" - in the form of an equilateral triangle.... behind motor vehicles with studded tires;"

But here's the question.... inside or outside the glass?

If I have tinted glass and I pasted a sign, but it is not visible, why should I be fined under the traffic rules?

They asked me to stick it on - I did it. Nowhere is it written that it should be visible to other road users from a certain distance.

Or, for example, I stuck it on, but I haven’t washed the car for a year - the glass is dirty. Is there anything to write a fine for?

Ilya, Hello.

As you understand, there is no practice on this issue yet. After some time, it will become known whether you will be fined for installing the “Spikes” sign in the ways you indicated.

Good luck on the roads!

Identification sign - transportation of children - should be installed on a personal car? or only for specialized transport, such as school buses?

Irina, clause 22.6 of the traffic rules:

22.6. Organized transportation of a group of children must be carried out in accordance with these Rules, as well as the rules approved by the Government of the Russian Federation, on a bus marked with identification marks “Transportation of Children”.

Signs must be installed on any bus carrying out organized transportation of children. Including by private bus.

Good luck on the roads!
