Oil painting: a passing car that falls into a puddle splashes you from head to toe. As a rule, at such moments the “victims” send the driver away extremely emotionally, exclaiming curses that are so hateful among LGBT people, and also diligently remembering the dog and mother of the perpetrator of the incident. However, there is no need to waste your nerves – it is better to “execute” the home-grown Schumacher according to the law.
Of course, both a pedestrian and the driver of another car can accidentally get completely sprayed, simply by not having time to slow down for a puddle that suddenly appears on the road. Or a seemingly innocent puddle turned out to be a well covered with a layer of water. Here is the result. What should a wet and dirty person do to punish the perpetrator of unplanned bathing?
When a citizen contacts the authorities, the Administrative Code can easily interpret the actions of a motorist as petty hooliganism. According to Article 20.1 of the same name of the Code of Administrative Offenses, such an offense is considered in particular as “destruction or damage to the property of another.” Responsibility for this includes a fine from 500 to 1000 rubles, or an arrest for up to 15 days.
By the way, in addition to the fact that a favorite suit or an expensive handbag was damaged during the incident, the car owner can also be blamed for the fact that his health suffered from the consequences of a pee shower. Simply put, I was cold and sick when I came home in wet clothes. Of course, proving this is much more difficult, but with the desire and a competent lawyer it is quite possible. The most important thing is to remember the license plate of the offending vehicle and involve a witness, or better yet, several witnesses, in the procedure.
If the outcome of the events is positive, Article 12.24 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation “Violation of traffic rules or rules of operation of a vehicle resulting in infliction of minor or moderate damage to the health of the victim” will be applied. to the perpetrator. Here the sanctions are more serious: a fine of 2,500 to 5,000 rubles, or deprivation of “rights” for up to 1.5 years.
In both cases, you must of course confirm the costs of dry cleaning of clothes, medicines and doctors by submitting the corresponding receipts. In turn, the car owner is also likely to “clash” using his witnesses and arguments.
Which, in particular, confirms the fact that the driver had to drive, for example, through a puddle around an open hatch or other obstacle that arose on the road. In this case, the victim is helped by images from CCTV cameras, if, of course, they are installed at the place of the incident. Whatever the case, the decision is up to the judge.
