Video recording of traffic violations - everything you need to know

New fines for violating traffic rules as amended by the Code of Administrative Offenses from the Ministry of Justice for 2021

For refusal of examination, the fine is increased from the current 30 thousand rubles to 40 thousand rubles. and the period of deprivation of a driver's license is increased from two to three years. Additionally, a new offense is being introduced, if there is a child under 16 years of age in the car, and the driver is driving the vehicle while intoxicated (or refuses to have it examined), the fine will be 50 thousand rubles and deprivation of rights for a period of 2 to 3 years years.

Another interesting innovation is the deposit for the vehicle. If you are stopped and found to be intoxicated, the car is detained and placed in an impound lot, from which the car can only be picked up by paying 30 thousand rubles. This payment will subsequently be used to offset the fine imposed by the court.

The updated Code of Administrative Offenses gives judges the opportunity to hold people accountable for intoxication, not only caused by alcohol, psychotropic substances and drugs, but also when “the presence of other intoxicating substances in the human body.”

According to Kommersant, we are most likely talking about medicinal substances, the detection of which cannot now punish drivers. A ban on the use of “new potentially dangerous psychoactive substances” is also being introduced, but this concept is not defined.

When transporting children without using car seats, the fine will increase from 3 thousand rubles. up to 5 thousand rubles, for officials from 25 thousand rubles. up to 30 thousand rubles, for legal entities from 100 thousand rubles. up to 150 thousand rubles. The update will also affect individual entrepreneurs; a new fine will be introduced for them, 35 thousand rubles. for transporting children without car seats.

Tinting

Legislators also did not ignore tinting lovers; a fine of 3 thousand rubles is being introduced for driving a car with excessive tinting again within a year. Let us remind you that now those who like to ride in a “cozy atmosphere” are fined 1.5 thousand rubles.

New traffic police fines and changes to traffic rules from July 1 and 20 - is this true or not?

For drunk drivers, the presence of a minor child under 16 years old in the car will become an aggravating circumstance. Refusal to undergo an examination will now be punished more severely than for driving while intoxicated.

Violation Will Now Driving a vehicle by a driver while intoxicated 30,000 ₽ and deprivation of rights for 1.5–2 years 30,000 ₽ and deprivation of rights for 1.5–2 years Driving a vehicle by a driver while intoxicated (with a minor in the car) 50,000 ₽ and deprivation license for 2–3 years - Transfer of control to a person in a state of intoxication 30,000 ₽ and deprivation of rights for 1.5–2 years 30,000 ₽ and deprivation of rights for 1.5–2 years Refusal of the driver to undergo a medical examination for intoxication 40,000 ₽ and deprivation of rights for 2–3 years 30,000 ₽ and deprivation of rights for 1.5–2 years Refusal of the driver to undergo a medical examination for intoxication (with a minor in the car) 50,000 ₽ and deprivation of rights for 2–3 years -

For transporting a child without a child seat, if its use is mandatory, the punishment will be more severe.

Violation Will Now Violation of the rules for the transportation of goods or rules of towing 500 ₽ 500 ₽ Violation of the rules for transporting people 500 ₽ 500 ₽ Violation of the requirements for the transportation of children 3000 ₽ 3000 ₽ Violation of the requirements for the transportation of children with the mandatory use of restraints 5000 ₽ - Violation Will Now Violation of traffic rules, resulting in minor harm to health 2500-5000 ₽ or deprivation of rights for 1–1.5 years 2500-5000 ₽ or deprivation of rights for 1–1.5 years Violation of traffic rules resulting in causing moderate harm to health 10000-25000 ₽ or deprivation of rights to 1.5–2 years 10,000-25,000 ₽ or deprivation of rights for 1.5–2 years Leaving the scene of an accident Imprisonment for 1–1.5 years Imprisonment for 1–1.5 years Failure to comply with the requirement to prohibit the use of alcohol or drugs after an accident or after stopping the vehicle at the request of the police before conducting an examination 30,000 ₽ and deprivation of rights for 1.5–2 years 30,000 ₽ and deprivation of rights for 1.5–2 years

Now the draft of the new Code of Administrative Offenses is at the stage of public discussion, then it must be submitted to the State Duma for approval. Meanwhile, the increase in fines, primarily for speeding, has already been criticized by both deputies and the new prime minister.

Yes, all new fines introduced from January and March 2021 can be paid at a discount. In the first 20 days from the date of the decision it will be 50%.

The same rule applies to most existing fines that have not changed. Below is a complete list of them.

A state sign is considered non-standard if it does not meet the requirements of the law or is unreadable.

There have been no legislative innovations regarding penalties since this year on January 1 or March. By March, the traffic police and the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation were supposed to make proposals to develop changes to penalties for speed violations. We are talking about the possible return of the article, according to which fines were established when exceeding 10 km/h. Currently, such violations are not punishable by penalties.

Since the decision on such changes has not been made, it is too early to say when it will start working. Although there have been repeated attempts to return this administrative punishment:

• In 2013 (summer), the money for increasing the speed limit by 10 km/h was abolished.
• A year later it was proposed to return this punishment.
• Six months later there were again proposals with the initiative to return the punishment.
• Since 2015, numerous attempts have been made to return traffic police fines for speeding over 10 km/h, but everything ended in failure. Drivers today can violate speed limits while driving with impunity, exceeding them by 20 km/h.

Drivers will face new fines in 2021

It is unknown when the changes will come and how much the punishment for violations will be. Now there is no exact information, because changes still need to be made through the adoption of the Federal Law. And yet it does not exist even in plans.

First, the law needs to be developed, registered, and then only it will be considered in the Duma, where it must go through three readings. Then the new changes are approved by the president, and only then they go into effect. As for other fines, there were rumors that they would be increased by 6 times. But for now, these innovations are just being developed.

Today, the following penalties are imposed for speeding offenses:

The Speeding Penalty Chart explains in detail the fines for specific speeding offenses.

The driving pace is limited on all road sections passing inside cities, its gradation is as follows:

• Residential area – 20 km/h;
• Towing a car – 50 km/h;
• All vehicles – 60 km/h.

In cities, there are a lot of vehicles and pedestrians moving at the same time, there are many traffic lights and intersections, and therefore the permissible driving is limited. There are a lot of buildings that limit your view, so driving at 60 km/h allows you to keep the road situation under control.

Outside cities, the speed limit will not be so limited:

• Cars or trucks (cat. B), motorcycles and small buses - 90 km/h;
• Passenger cars with trailers, trucks (cat. C), other buses – 70 km/h;
• Buses when transporting children, trucks with passengers (in the back) - 60 km/h;
• Cars towing vehicles – 50 km/h.

Fines for speeding in 2021 in Russia have remained at the same level. Although it’s not worth taking risks by breaking the rules, it’s better to move at an average speed.

  OSAGO without technical inspection: not all insurers are ready for the new rules

The question as to why introduce a 10 km/h limit is rhetorical. The main factor is filling the budget. It is worth recalling that 10-20 km/h is the most common violation by drivers. And if everyone pays even 500 rubles, the treasury will increase significantly. Who would refuse such a source of additional income?

The government voices, of course, other arguments. Among which are:

• the permissible range of 20 km/h is not always safe, especially within the city. For example, if in an emergency area you need to move at a speed of 40 km/h, and add the same permissible 20 to it, you will get 60 km/h. Do not forget about the permissible errors of 3 km. This leads to emergency situations on the roads;
• According to police representatives, the same 20 km/h plays a big role for a pedestrian involved in an accident. If a car is traveling at a speed of up to 60, then the subject’s chances of surviving are many times greater than if they are hit by a car at a speed of more than 60. Such words are not confirmed by statistics, but there is common sense in them.

But we shouldn’t forget about European driving experience, where there is no such range of excess. Of course, 20 km/h is not the optimal range, but everyone is already accustomed to it. And it will be difficult to switch to another mode. There will be many opponents.

Modern technologies are widely used to monitor traffic conditions, which makes it possible to automatically record violations of traffic rules. Speed ​​meters installed on special structures monitor the situation on the highways around the clock and transmit data for information processing to the traffic police. All received data is analyzed, and a resolution is automatically generated for the violator.

Online check of traffic police fines with photo recording

We will consider sites in their versions for desktop computers, implying that each of them has a mobile version or a special application. Let's talk about them separately.

How to check photo records on the traffic police website?

To search for photographic materials you need to take just three simple steps:

1. Go to the traffic police website.
2. Select menu: “Services” – “Checking fines”.
3. Enter the car number and STS, then click “Verification Request”.

If photographs are attached to a specific case, a link to them will be reflected in the search results table.

How to find fines from video recording cameras on State Services?

Some of the most convenient and popular online services in Russia. Among them is checking fines. However, only citizens registered on the portal can use the function, and a car whose data was previously entered in your personal account is subject to verification.

Searching for a photo is carried out in several steps:

1. Log in to State Services and log in.
2. Select the menu at the top “ – “Car and traffic fines”.

   

3. On the page that opens, read the information provided (in particular, about the regions of the Russian Federation for which the check is carried out), and click “Get a service” on the right.

   

All available information will be available, but, we repeat, for the car that was previously recorded in your personal account. If photos are included in the file, a link to them will be in the results.

Sample report:

If you need to check another machine, its parameters must first be registered in the system.

How to see traffic violations on CCTV cameras via Yandex?

To use this service, you need very few steps:

1. Go to the services page.
2. If the user is registered and has previously checked the car, new checks using this data will be immediately carried out automatically, and the results will be displayed on the screen.

   

3. If there have been no checks before or you need to check a new car, click on “Check another car / driver”.
4. Enter the required information.
5. Request a review.

Here, as in other cases, the results may contain a link to photographic materials. However, at the moment it does not always appear , so it is better to use another method for additional verification.

Looking for a photo using Autocode

This is a Moscow portal. Through it you can only view data about violations committed within the region. At the same time, it is one of the most popular services among Muscovites.

1. Let's go to the website.
2. Select: “Fines and violations”, then – “Check and payment of fines”.

   

3. We choose one of the verification methods: by rights and STS or by UIN, and enter the required data.

   

4. Click “Check” and look at the results.

   

In principle, this is all that needed to be done to gain access to the information available in the databases. All that remains is to look at the photographs if they are attached to a specific resolution.

Search for photo recordings through mobile versions and applications

It is in this software that fraudulent schemes are most often discovered. It is enough to ask any search engine about available applications, and not the most well-known resources will appear in the first rows of results. Moreover, no one is preventing them from being placed on the AppStore or Google Play.

To use reliable sources, there are a few things to keep in mind:

• All of the above sites have mobile versions, and some have their own mobile applications.
• Many mobile operators and providers have websites and applications, and they can also offer services for finding fines.
• If you trust your bank, you can also use online banking resources, incl. both for search and for payment.

As you can see, there are a lot of resources that are reliable enough not to take risks by contacting little-known ones. However, it is better to find out the size of their commission in advance, and the photo viewing function is not available in all cases.

Fines for speeding in 2021 – table and amount

Speaking about the dependence of the method of applying penalties to a violator who has exceeded the speed limit, let’s consider the case of a traffic police inspector recording a violation on the road. Liability applies as follows.

A traffic police officer uses a mobile radar to measure the speed of cars moving on the roadway. When it is detected that the limit established in a given area has been exceeded, the inspector stops the vehicle.

He is obliged to familiarize the driver with the radar readings, and also present a certificate for it upon request.

It records the date the device was tested and the measurement error. Often, indicators of error can help avoid or mitigate punishment.

A resolution on the offense committed is drawn up and a copy is given to the driver against signature. If on-site receipt is refused, a copy is sent by post within up to three days from the date of the decision. The procedure for serving a decision is the same for administrative penalties in the form of a fine and for deprivation of a driver’s license.

The violator has the right to challenge the fact of committing an administrative offense and the punishment for it. In this case, the inspector draws up a protocol, which becomes an annex to the issued resolution.

In most cases, speeding on the road, recorded by an inspector using radar, is referred to the police. The exception is those moments that require transferring the case to court (according to Parts 1 and 2 of Article 31.1 and Article 23.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses):

• in case of a repeated offense associated with exceeding the speed limit of more than 60 km/h from the established speed limit on this section of the road;
• in case of exceeding the speed limit by more than 60 km/h, when the inspector sent the case to court.

Few city residents who have not traveled outside the region understand that somewhere in the neighboring region, conditions on the roads may be completely different. The unpleasant traffic jams in Samara and the drivers forced to languish in them with their restraint cannot be compared with the rudeness on the roads in the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea. Here, drivers simply ignore many rules, not turning on their turn signals, not allowing pedestrians to pass, brazenly driving through a red light, or turning around through a double line. Kazan drivers also feel differently - the quality of roads and the internal policy of the republic are changing behavior on the roads for the better.

There is currently no opportunity to buy a traffic rules book and use it for years - the rules change very often. Recently, the maximum number of changes concerns the introduction of all kinds of penalties and increasing the size of existing penalties for motorists who have violated the rules.

Every year there is talk about depriving people of their license for a long period for speeding twice as high as the speed limit on a given section of the road. Current rules only allow for a fine or deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle for up to 6 calendar months. This does not scare all drivers - they continue to regularly exceed the speed limit. Probably the increased period of deprivation of a driver's license will have a stimulating effect on them.

Officially, information on the new amounts of financial punishment for drivers is still under consideration. At the same time, drivers should not expect that as a result of the review, fines will become smaller - they will definitely increase. Moreover, it is already obvious that additional types of punishments will appear for previous offenses, as well as new ones will be introduced, in particular, for dangerous driving.

Plans to introduce such a system have been announced several times. In 2016, the corresponding law was adopted in the first reading, but since then nothing has changed in this area. Now, in addition to the fines received for this or that offense, the offenses themselves will accumulate. If a driver commits 3 violations of the same type of rules, then in addition to the corresponding fine, he may be deprived of his license for up to 1.5 years.

Currently, this rule applies to the following violations of the rules committed three times:

• running a red light;
• Unreasonable driving into the oncoming lane;
• exceeding the speed limit by 60 km/h;
• driving in reverse in prohibited places;
• ignoring the advantage of pedestrians while driving;
• turn/turn around in places marked with a prohibitory sign;
• failure to provide passage to a vehicle having priority;
• crossing railway tracks with a closing barrier/forbidden signal.

In 2021, it is the cameras that record the largest number of excesses, so I propose to consider the features of imposing fines using automatic means.

In this case, 3 basic rules apply:

1. For a violation recorded by a camera, the driver cannot be deprived of his license or receive a warning.
2. The maximum fine is imposed on the driver if the relevant article provides for deprivation of rights.
3. The minimum fine is imposed on the driver if the relevant article does not provide for deprivation of rights.

Amounts of fines for speeding recorded using automatic video recording equipment:

• All blogs

The punishment practically coincides with what is charged to the person driving the vehicle by the traffic police (exceeding up to 60 km/h). If you exceed 60 km/h, the sanctions will be softer than if the car is stopped by a traffic police officer.

No matter how much the speed limit is violated, the driver will not be deprived of his license, he will simply receive a decision on a fine of 5,000 rubles. – both for the first time and for subsequent times.

The rumor was based on the fact that before March 1, 2019, the Ministry of Transport and the Road Safety Inspectorate were tasked with drawing up a project to reduce the “penalty-free” speed to 10 km/h.

However, when the specified date arrived, nothing happened, which is completely logical. The issue is in the status of an initiative, not a bill. In addition, it would be technically impossible to fully develop the project and implement it in such a short time. Consideration of the initiative has now been postponed until 2021.

The difficulty is that the minimum fine, according to Part 2 of Art. 3.5 of the Code of Administrative Offences, is 500 rubles and is already due for speed exceeded from 20 to 40 km/h.

Consequently, the introduction of a new punishment will lead to tougher measures in relation to other offenses. You will also have to reconfigure or change all photo-video recording systems for traffic violations.

The state believes that reducing the fine will guarantee its payment. Indeed, when it comes to small amounts, it is easier to give them away - both physically and psychologically.

Therefore, starting from 2021, there is a law on the basis of which you can pay a fine within 20 days and receive a 50% discount. Moreover, it does not matter whether it was obtained on the basis of an inspector’s decision or recordings from speed cameras.

However, the discount is valid only in special cases when the violation is minor and the driver does not regularly disregard traffic rules:

• the speed limit was exceeded by no more than 40 km/h (including repeated);
• the violation occurred for the first time.

Traffic police fines with photo recording

Photographic recording of traffic violations was introduced for the safety of pedestrians and vehicle drivers.

Now, along with traffic police officers, special cameras monitor the situation on the roads.

The procedure for monitoring and imposing fines using cameras is regulated by current regulations:

• Code of Administrative Offenses - Art. 2.6.1, 26.8, 28.6 p.3, 29.6 p.1;
• traffic rules;
• by order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation No. 664 of October 20, 2017.

In order to relieve the workload of the courts, minimum penalties in the form of fines are applied for violations detected using special cameras.

If a violation is punishable by deprivation of rights or administrative arrest, then when the violation is recorded by a camera, a fine of 5,000 rubles is applied . If a violation is recorded by a traffic police officer, the punishment will be different.

For example:

1. speeding by 60 - 80 km/h - a fine of 2,500 rubles is imposed; repeated – 5,000 rubles;
2. speeding over 80 km/h – 5,000 rubles, both for the first time and again.

If such violations are recorded by an employee, the court will raise the issue of revoking the driver’s license.

Cancellation of non-penalized speeding +20 km/h. Last news

There is a period of 10 days to appeal the decision. Read more about this - “How to appeal any traffic fine.”

The driver needs to send an application to one of three authorities:

• traffic police;
• the court located at the place where the offense was committed;
• the operator responsible for the means of recording violations.

The statement should succinctly and briefly state the arguments why, in your opinion, the fine was issued illegally. It is advisable to attach evidence, for example, a recording from a video recorder, which will illustrate that you are not involved in the commission of an offense, or testimony of witnesses.

If the attached evidence turns out to be convincing, penalties will be lifted from the driver. In the worst case, the complaint will be left unsatisfied.

As statistics show, it is the camera that is the most common detection of speeding. Inspectors rarely punish precisely for these acts.

And there are several positive points here:

1. if the fact is recorded by a video surveillance camera, then the driver cannot be left without the right to drive the vehicle in case of any excess. Documents are not taken away;
2. if, according to the regulations, the subject exceeded the speed limit by such an indicator that implies deprivation of rights, then the maximum possible monetary penalty automatically becomes the penalty;
3. if the excess is equal to the range for which only a penalty is due, then the minimum penalty is applied.

In total, we find that the minimum punishment is 500 rubles, the maximum is 5000 rubles.

You can calm down, the news about the abolition of the permissible range of 20 km/h is some kind of fake. Of course, deputies periodically introduce amendments, developments, etc. for consideration. But so far this is only an initiative of individual officials. No one accepted or approved such amendments to the current legislation. Therefore, you should not believe rumors.

Although it is impossible to say that such an initiative will not become a reality. Back in 2021, there were various instructions from the police and the Ministry of Transport to limit speeding to 10 km/h. But so far such orders have not been fulfilled.

The government voices, of course, other arguments. Among which are:

• the permissible range of 20 km/h is not always safe, especially within the city. For example, if in an emergency area you need to move at a speed of 40 km/h, and add the same permissible 20 to it, you will get 60 km/h. Do not forget about the permissible errors of 3 km. This leads to emergency situations on the roads;
• According to police representatives, the same 20 km/h plays a big role for a pedestrian involved in an accident. If a car is traveling at a speed of up to 60, then the subject’s chances of surviving are many times greater than if they are hit by a car at a speed of more than 60. Such words are not confirmed by statistics, but there is common sense in them.

But we shouldn’t forget about European driving experience, where there is no such range of excess. Of course, 20 km/h is not the optimal range, but everyone is already accustomed to it. And it will be difficult to switch to another mode. There will be many opponents.

The specificity of domestic lawmaking is its unpredictability

. First, the very possibility of adopting this or that norm is denied for years, and then it is ratified in a matter of days. I won’t give examples – you know it yourself. Therefore, in relation to such a sensitive area as road traffic, decisive measures can be taken instantly.

They claim that there will be administrative liability for auto junk

(abandoned cars), vehicle washing on the lawn, playground, etc. Some experts believe that a new type of penalty may be introduced - confiscation of the vehicle. When studying the new edition of the codes, I did not find this, but the idea looks feasible. And tempting.

Much has been said about dangerous driving, which will be equivalent to driving while intoxicated.

. But experienced drivers remember that conversations on this topic have been going on for twenty years, and things are still there. “Dangerous driving” has not been regulated at the legislative level. There are also rumors that there will be separate fines for Yandex.Taxi and car sharing drivers. But these are definitely rumors.

Fines from cameras

Typically, video surveillance systems are installed on dangerous and busy sections of the road. Therefore, the likelihood of receiving “chain letters” is relatively low. In accordance with the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, Part 3 of Art. 1.5, the driver is not required to prove his innocence in the event of an administrative violation. But in the same regulatory legal act there is a clause that states that the presumption of innocence does not apply if the violation is recorded by a camera or other licensed equipment.

Dimensions

There is a difference between fines that are issued by traffic police officers and those that are recorded by a video surveillance system. The following rules apply to security cameras:

• Regardless of the seriousness of the violations, the driver is not deprived of his right to drive a vehicle;
• if the article provides for the deprivation of a driver’s license, the offender is issued the maximum fine;
• For relatively minor violations, a minimal fine is issued.

Amounts of fines when an offense is recorded by a video surveillance system

Many drivers do not like the innovations associated with the installation of security cameras. But in reality, none of the violations recorded by the camera threaten the car owner with deprivation of his driver’s license.

How is a decision made?

When a violation is recorded by a camera, traffic police officers determine the vehicle number in the traffic police database. Then an administrative violation report is drawn up, after which the car owner receives a notification from the traffic police. It contains information about:

• car model and make;
• vehicle registration number;
• photo of the offense;
• the amount of the fine;
• the essence of the violation, indicating the article of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

In accordance with current legislation, the fine must be paid within 60 days. If the letter is ignored, the owner of the vehicle will be prosecuted or the fine will be increased. It is paid in different ways:

• On the State Services website. A personal account is created on the website indicating all the necessary information - passport details, phone number, etc. The fine is paid electronically from an online wallet or bank card.
• In offline branches of Russian banks. You just need to deposit the required amount through an ATM or go to the cashier. If you are registered in online banking, you can pay the fine without leaving your home.

Fines issued by the traffic police must be paid within 60 days. Delay may result in administrative penalties and additional charges.

How to challenge a fine

If the driver is confident of his innocence, he can appeal the decision of the traffic police within 10 days. To avoid such situations, experts advise purchasing personal video recorders. In this case, you can use your footage as evidence of innocence.

How to appeal decisions of traffic police officers:

• if you disagree with the claims and fines presented, you must send a complaint to the relevant authorities, attaching evidence refuting the fact of the offense;
• the application is submitted to the official who made the decision;
• The traffic police officer sends the application to the court.

Security cameras sometimes malfunction. At the moment a violation is recorded, the driver does not always actually break the law. Sometimes video surveillance systems record speeds that cannot be real - 250-320 km/h.

Fines, licenses and scooters: what will change in traffic rules in 2021

So, the amendments cause a double feeling. If you have enough money, you can violate them; the new code does not contain any harsh sanctions. Even deprivation of rights in Russia is not serious: for one and a half to three years, which will fly by unnoticed. For comparison, in the USA and some other Western countries, touching the steering wheel may be prohibited for life.

If the amendments come into force, violating drivers will have to fork out, but not that much. Alas, we have not seen any decisive measures against those who like to ride “under anesthesia.” Although in neighboring Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan they deal with such racers much harsher than here.

The punishment practically coincides with what is charged to the person driving the vehicle by the traffic police (exceeding up to 60 km/h). If you exceed 60 km/h, the sanctions will be softer than if the car is stopped by a traffic police officer. No matter how much the speed limit is violated, the driver will not be deprived of his license, he will simply receive a decision on a fine of 5,000 rubles. – both for the first time and for subsequent times.

According to the deputies who submitted the initiative for consideration, the current speed limit creates a threat to traffic safety. You can prove the validity of this statement using the following example. Let's take the 40 km/h limit that applies in front of pedestrian crossings located near educational institutions. Let's add to them the permissible 20 km/h and the camera error of 2-4 km/h. From here we get a vehicle moving at an unsafe speed of 64 km/h on a road where a child may suddenly be on. On the other hand, there is no reason to assume that a speed of 54 km/h will cause less harm to a potential victim of an accident. European experience shows that in order to reduce the number of incidents, a fine should be introduced for any speeding within the city beyond 50 km/h.

Objectively speaking, the new law is another easy way to replenish the budget, because the speed clause is one of the most violated traffic rules.

The state believes that reducing the fine will guarantee its payment. Indeed, when it comes to small amounts, it is easier to give them away - both physically and psychologically. Therefore, since 2016, there has been a law on the basis of which you can pay a fine within 20 days and receive a 50% discount. Moreover, it does not matter whether it was obtained on the basis of an inspector’s decision or recordings from speed cameras.

How much will the violator pay?

The traffic police fines for speeding are established by law as follows.

• For speeding by 40 km - a fine of 500 rubles.
• For speeding by 60 km - a fine of 1 to 1.5 thousand rubles.
• For speeding by 80 km - a fine of 2 to 2.5 thousand rubles.
• The fine for speeding by more than 80 km/h is 5 thousand rubles.
• The fine for repeated speeding is from 2 to 2.5 thousand rubles. A financial penalty is applied only if the second time the driver exceeds the limit by no more than 60 km/h. If the excess turns out to be more significant, then completely different measures will be taken against the driver.

Note that a repeat offense is one that was committed within 1 year from the date of the first, similar offense.

Many motorists are interested in what kind of speeding is not subject to a fine. If the driver exceeds the permissible maximum by less than 20 km/h, this is not considered an offense, which means you will not have to pay. The inspector, of course, can stop the reckless driver, but he has no right to demand money - he is only allowed to issue a verbal warning.

If a motorist has, for example, exceeded the speed limit by 30 km, the fine for this will be 500 rubles - the same as for 40 km. The scale of excess is measured in intervals - that is, 500 rubles are obligated to pay all those who exceeded the limit by an amount from 21 km/h to 40 km/h inclusive.

It is worth noting that motorists have the opportunity to receive a 50% discount on fines for excess. This discount is given to the most prompt and responsible violators who bother to pay within 20 days of receiving the order. The discount is provided only if, after applying it, the remaining amount of the fine exceeds 500 rubles - therefore, a driver who exceeded the speed limit by 40 km/h or less will not be able to take advantage of it. A complete list of violations that can be compensated at a discount is presented in Art. 12 of the Administrative Code.
