Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a slew of amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses, which radically expanded the police’s powers to deal with offenders in foreign-numbered cars.
The amendments signed by Putin did not attract much attention from the automotive community. Only a few authors in the media and social networks “in the background” gave information that foreign truck drivers will now “skin” all the fines received at the border checkpoints. And indeed it is. In addition, the same package of amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses introduced a new article 12.21.5 “Violation by the driver of the rules for moving a heavy and (or) large vehicle owned by a foreign carrier.” Sanctions on it range from 100,000 to 400,000 rubles.
But for a much larger army of car owners, the main thing is different. Namely, changes to the Code of Administrative Offenses regarding cars with Armenian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Abkhaz license plates and license plates of other foreign states, which until recently felt comfortable under the cameras of the traffic police. After all, it was difficult to fine drivers on such vehicles for one simple reason. These “Kazakh”, “Armenians”, “Kyrgyz” and other “Abkhazians” are mostly driven by Russians. And they drive a car by proxy from a nominal foreign owner.
Congratulatory letters “fly” do not understand where abroad, and the real offender does not even blow his mustache. In addition, the limitation period for an administrative law case for non-payment of a fine for violation of traffic rules (article 20.25 WvB, doubling the amount of the original fine) is now three months. That is, it is extremely difficult to “find” a culprit, for example, “on Armenian numbers” with a power of attorney for non-payment. Because such fines actually “burn out” after a short statute of limitations.
But it used to be like that. Now a clause has appeared in the Code of Administrative Offenses especially for “wise men” on “foreign” cars: exclusively for them, the statute of limitations has been increased to 12 months. In addition, traffic police officers have been given the power to detain the vehicle and direct it to a parking lot if a foreign-registered vehicle is registered on the road with at least one unpaid fine. Only after the debt is paid, the car is returned to the owner or to the driver with a power of attorney.
In addition, if a traffic violation has been committed by a car with foreign registration plates, the decision on the fine will take effect immediately from the date of issue. The standard extension of 10 days, which is given for appeal, does not apply in this case. That is, the guilty driver is deprived of the opportunity to quickly leave the country, hiding from Russian justice.
So, a car “by Armenian numbers” or generally registered somewhere outside our vast territory no longer gives the driver “immunity” from punishment for violations of domestic traffic rules. Amen!
