Home/Traffic police fines/1500 rubles in 2021
The current administrative legislation does not provide for many violations in 2021, for which a fine in the “flat sum” of 1,500 rubles can be imposed.
There are many more offenses for which the sanctions provide for a certain “corridor” of fines from the traffic police (for example, from 1000 to 1500). In addition, for some administrative offenses in cities of federal significance there may be increased penalties.
