Many motorists have been driving their car quietly in their native region for years and have no complaints from the local traffic police. But everything changes as soon as the car owner decides to roll to the warm sea in a personal car. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells what problems a car tourist can expect in the Krasnodar Territory.

A trip to the Black Sea has recently become a non-alternative option for a summer vacation for many Russians. And the high cost of train and air tickets is forcing family members to travel south in their own cars. In fact, on what is available: at least on a “right-hand drive” with a lowered chassis, at least on a raised UAZ, if only to deliver it to its destination without any problems and bring it home again . In the event that the car has at least some visible design changes, the owner should be wary of serious problems from the traffic police of the coastal areas.

The fact is that local traffic cops have a ‘special’, let’s call it that, attitude towards tuned cars. They even carry out special raids there against the owners of such vehicles. For example, the traffic police of the Krasnodar Territory quite recently reported on the interim results of a raid called Jeeping. According to the local traffic inspectorate, during the event, patrol officers prepared about 450 administrative materials for the owners of the modified vehicles.

One of the most “popular” articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses among the owners of tuned vehicles is part 1 of Art. 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. She talks about “driving a vehicle in the presence of malfunctions or conditions under which driving is prohibited”. In addition, for some cars, documents were issued to cancel registration with the traffic police.

This usually happens in cases where, once caught driving a tuned car, the car owner doesn’t undo the changes (as required by law), but continues as if nothing happened. The traffic police caught him again and canceled the registration of the vehicle. After that, for driving such a car you can lose all your “rights”. It is curious that a decent part of the cars that were “registered” during the “Jeeping” were refitted with “UAZs” and “Lawns”, which are used by local figures to organize paid hikes in the surrounding mountains for tourists .

According to the local traffic police, the most massive illegal modifications to these cars are the installation of seats not provided for in the factory design, homemade bumpers, “kenguryatniks” from ordinary pipes and the like.

The most unpleasant for a motorist who has traveled to the sea from another region is as follows. If your car (even if it’s not an SUV!) is noticeably modified, you run the risk of getting “in the mix” in such a police raid and risk being fined, even just for a not -standard tow bar, an abnormal spoiler on the trunk or a “fly breaker” on the front of the hood.

If you have been fined for this under Article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, you still have to “remove” the change that the traffic police did not like and submit the car for inspection to the traffic police within 10 days for confirmation. For a normal holidaymaker by the sea, such “dancing with a tambourine” is useless. Any patrol on the road knows this very well. And it may well offer the driver to “distribute amicably.” Therefore, if you are not a fan of “confrontations” with the police, it is better not to run to the sea in a fashionable car or first remove from it all visible signs of improvement. Nerves and money will be more complete.
