Having received a resolution on a fine for violating parking rules anywhere, it makes sense for a motorist to carefully study it “to the decimal point”. After all, the basis for the abolition of the punishment may lie in the most prominent place.
Almost every motorist can be fined for parking incorrectly. To do this, sometimes you don’t even need to brazenly spread your car right under the “red cross on a blue background” – sign 3.27 “Stopping is prohibited”. Many Moscow car owners can talk for a long time about their negative experience in this sense.
For example, when a “terrorist activist” starts up in the surrounding courtyards with a nice application from Moscow’s Deptrans installed on a personal smartphone. Some of these witty citizens “fix” the cars parked near the houses so cunningly that, according to the photo and geolocation data, the cars appear to be in the lane of the street where parking is prohibited. Based on the materials received from such “indifferent” individuals, the relevant structures of Deptrans, without really delving into it, issue parking fines to drivers.
What should the car owner look for first of all if he receives a “congratulations letter” requiring him to pay 3,000 rubles for improper parking? In any case, if we talk about parking violation decisions, you should pay special attention to the time of fixation. Which the vast majority of fines completely forget.
In the case of decisions “from mobile applications”, citizens more often try to cancel them on the basis of the illegality of using the method itself to obtain data on violations. Meanwhile, the traffic rules clearly state: “parking is the deliberate stopping of the movement of the vehicle for more than 5 minutes for reasons unrelated to the entry or exit of passengers or the loading or unloading of the vehicle.” That is, if the car remains in the zone of action of the prohibition sign for less than five minutes, the driver does not violate anything at all. If he unloads it or lands a passenger and disembarks (which can theoretically be documented by means of automatic restraint), then he is also “in the house” from Article 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, which punishes for violating the parking rules and fuses.
And the proof of innocence will be exactly the time reflected in the decision. If the exact “timing” of parking there is not indicated with confirmation that it took more than five minutes, the fine will not be valid. That is, it can literally be challenged one or two.
Note that this mechanism does not apply in the event of a fine for non-payment of parking. Article 8.14 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Moscow cunningly speaks not about “parking”, but about “placing” a car on such a part of the street. In other words, in accordance with it, the metropolitan Deptrans has every right to joyfully punish almost any motorist who dares to slow down even a second on a “payer” …
