In Russia, the power of attorney for the right to drive a vehicle has long been canceled. However, it seems that not all representatives of the National Traffic Inspectorate are aware of this. At least recently, cases have become more common in which military personnel demand that they show “confidence” in a car. How to become a driver?

If you do not own the vehicle, but you have all the documents necessary for its management, including “entitlements”, OSAGO and STS, then you generally have nothing to worry about. Most importantly, the car is not listed as stolen and has no legal restrictions, and the driver is included in the insurance policy. An alternative may be “unlimited” insurance, which does not limit the number of people allowed to manage.

According to Article 2.1.1 of the SDA, only these documents need to be provided by the driver of the car to the inspector of the traffic police. In the case of “autoburger” the policy can even be electronic. True, it will not be superfluous to have a printout of it. But the power of attorney is not necessary at all! However, for some reason, road police officers tell drivers about internal regulations, which allegedly give them every reason to familiarize themselves with the power of attorney to drive a car in the event that the owner of the car is not driving. Do not believe! This is pure hypocrisy.

As it is not difficult to guess, the guardians of law and order seem to want to “divorce” from the driver for money in such a “cunningly concocted” way. And since they’re still doing it, it means they’re still getting paid on a regular basis. Let us not convince those who have an intimate relationship with a millionaire’s mistress or lover, nor remind them of the criminal liability for giving a bribe.

But we do not consider it superfluous to inform citizens who are already impoverished in the conditions of a permanent crisis and who do not again violate the laws of their country that no article of the Administrative Code and paragraph of the traffic rules says about the need to have a power of attorney for a car and show it to traffic cops. Let’s say more: nothing is written about this at all in any of the current regulatory acts!

Drivers of cars in the name of a legal entity deserve special attention. Such roadside police officers often “shake” not only for a power of attorney, but also for a consignment note, less often – for acts confirming the passage of a medical examination by the driver, and a technical examination by the car. Of course, it’s easier to “solve the situation on the spot” and move on, but why? After all, all of the above requirements apply only to car drivers whose owners are engaged in cargo and passenger transport. That is, they provide taxi services or cargo transportation.

If you “saddle” a rented “horse” or drive official commercial vehicles, you do not need to carry these papers with you. Neither internal clarifications, even the generalissimo of the traffic police, nor the orders of the Ministry of Transport – traffic cops have the right to operate (read – speculate) with anything and want to get the required documents from you, or rather money.
