How to appeal a traffic police fine from a surveillance camera: precise instructions

The fine for speeding ranges from 500 to 5000 rubles. For a significant excess, a driver's license may be deprived for a period of 4 months to 1 year. If you exceed the speed of up to 20 km/h, there is no fine. In the near future, it is possible to reduce this threshold to 10 km/h.

Exceeding the maximum permitted speed is the most common violation of traffic rules. There is a myth among drivers that it is allowed to exceed the speed limit by 20 km/h. This opinion is wrong. There is no fine for exceeding the speed limit by 20 km/h, but the rules prohibit exceeding the established speed limit.

After reading this article, you should not have any questions about the responsibility of drivers for exceeding the maximum speed. Detailed description, text of the law, tables, information about the 50% discount, features of automatic recording of violations and visual infographics.

Monetary fines for speeding violations

The size of the fine for speeding depends on the difference between the maximum permitted speed and the recorded speed. The extent to which this calculation method is correct can be discussed separately. For example, for exceeding the speed limit by 40 km/h in a residential area and on a highway, the fine is the same - 500 rubles. In a residential area alone, the excess is almost 3 times the legal limit and poses a significantly greater danger than a barely noticeable excess on the motorway. A little distracted, let's move directly to the size of traffic police fines. First, let's look at the usual monetary fines that are relevant for most drivers, which are issued by the traffic police officer directly at the scene of the violation.

Please note again that exceeding the maximum speed by 20 km/h is a violation of the Traffic Rules

for which there is no responsibility.

Revocation of license for speeding

Deprivation of rights for speeding when a violation is recorded by a traffic police officer
Excess	Period of deprivation
Exceeding the speed limit by 61 km/h, but not more than 80 km/h	from 4 to 6 months
Speeding over 81 km/h	for 6 months
Repeated speeding over 61 km/h	for 1 year

Only a court can make a decision on deprivation of rights. Thus, if a driver faces the threat of being left without a driver’s license, he has the opportunity to resolve this issue with traffic police officers, either directly on the spot or later at the department. Traffic police officers are authorized to either issue a decree imposing a fine or refer the case to court.

The practice has developed that with conflict-free communication, drivers are issued an appropriate fine and do not go to trial.

Some subtleties

Sometimes a violation was detected not by an inspector, but by video recording. In this case, the amount of the sanction can reach up to 5,000 rubles, but the driver’s license cannot be taken away as a punishment. This applies regardless of which radar the photo was taken with. In this case, the driver has the right to check the certificate for the device. Study the testing time and the magnitude of the instrument error. Moreover, you can request a video recording to make sure that it is really your car that violated the rules

Amount of fine for automatic speed control

Peculiarities of administrative liability when recording violations of traffic rules in automatic mode:

These provisions are regulated by part 3.1 of article 4.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation

In the cases provided for in Part 3 of Article 28.6 of this Code, administrative punishment is imposed in the form of an administrative fine. In this case, the amount of the imposed administrative fine should be the smallest

within the sanction of the applicable article or part of the article of the Special Part of this Code, and in cases where the sanction of the applied article or part of the article of the Special Part of this Code provides for administrative punishment in the form of deprivation of the right to drive vehicles or administrative arrest and does not provide for administrative punishment in the form of administrative fine, administrative punishment is imposed in the form of an administrative fine in the amount of five thousand rubles.

The table of fines for automatically recording violations looks more friendly to drivers.

If a violation is automatically recorded, a fine will be issued to the owner of the vehicle.

How the service works

The service is very easy to use - all you need is Internet access to make a request. Requesting data to search for fines takes a few seconds. Two checking options:

• Vehicle and driver verification. The following fields are entered: car number, series and STS number, driver's license number.
• Check by resolution number. To do this, you only need the resolution number.

If the user wishes to receive notifications about the presence of fines, then they must indicate their email address when creating the request.

To provide data, you must fill in all empty fields and click on the “Find fine” button.

When a violation is recorded by cameras, a resolution is drawn up according to the state number of the car, so the fine will be assigned to the owner of the vehicle, even if another driver was driving when the camera was filmed.

The presence of unpaid fines may be an obstacle to registering a car after its sale. In this case, you can first submit a request for a data verification when considering a purchase option.

The service allows you not only to view photos of violations and check for fines, but also to make payments online. A refund is guaranteed if the decision is contested. Payment history is saved in the client’s personal account, access is available after registration. To track information, sections “My cars” and “My license/drivers” have been created. There are also tabs “Unpaid fines” and “Paid fines”, where any transaction can be found by UIN or by the violator’s last name.

Features of the violation tracking system with photo recording

In Russia, photo recording devices for traffic violations have been in use for several years. They work automatically. Each device has a specific list of functions (radius, operating mode, target orientation). The technical device must be in good working order and have verification documents.

For photographic recording the following are used:

• Stationary devices. As a rule, they are placed in areas where there is a large flow of cars and an increased accident rate.
• Mobile (portable) devices.
• Devices used by traffic police officers to photograph and video record violations.

In the first two cases, the camera photographs the violation, then these frames are transferred to the Video Recording Center of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The decision on the offense is drawn up without the personal presence of the driver. The inspector, having the number and make of the vehicle in the photo, requests information about the owner of the car. Next, a letter with a protocol and a resolution on the offense is sent to the registration address of the car owner, to which a photo is attached, with the date and time of the photo.

In situations where an offense is recorded using radar or a mobile camera by a traffic police officer, a resolution is drawn up at the scene and handed to the driver.

How long does it take for a traffic violation to be considered a repeat violation?

The validity period of the first violation is 1 year from the date of entry into force of the resolution. This period is established by Article 4.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

A person who has been imposed an administrative penalty for committing an administrative offense is considered subject to this punishment from the date the decision on the imposition of an administrative penalty enters into legal force until the expiration of one year from the date of completion of the execution of this decision.

The resolution on an administrative offense comes into force:

• within 10 days from the date of delivery or receipt of a copy (Article 30.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation);
• after 10 days, if a complaint is filed with an official (part 1 of article 30.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation);

Entering a busy intersection

Most serious traffic congestion in major cities occurs because drivers, trying to quickly cross an intersection, actually block it. They do not have time to pass the permitting signal, then the cars begin to move in a perpendicular direction, as a result, traffic stops in all directions.

At first, as an experiment, drivers who entered a busy intersection were fined in a couple of places in Moscow. And this year the concept of “waffle markings” was introduced into the traffic rules. It is enough to be inside it after the prohibitory traffic light comes on, and the camera will immediately record the violation.

Waffle markings at intersections appeared in traffic regulations this year and immediately began to be implemented en masse in large cities

The fine will come for violating clause 13.2 of the Russian Traffic Regulations. Most likely, he will be discharged under Part 1 of Article 12.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Russia. It is 1000 rubles.

But theoretically, a fine can also be issued for violating marking regulations (part one of Article 12.16 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation). It is 500 rubles. In both cases there is a 50% discount.

50% discount on speeding fines

Since 2015, a law has been in force that allows you to pay traffic police fines with a 50% discount if payment is made within 20 days from the date of the decision. The law provides exceptions for some gross violations of the Traffic Rules, including some fines for speeding.

Crossing the stop line

This year they began to introduce systems that record the passage of stop lines. At intersections, it is enough to cross it with two front wheels, and the complex will record a violation, after which the car owner will receive a fine under Part 2 of Art. 12.12 Code of Administrative Offenses of Russia - 800 rubles.

There is a 50% discount. If the corresponding sign is installed in front of the line, the fine will be 500 rubles, a 50 percent discount also applies (Part 1 of Article 12.16 of the Administrative Code).

When driving through a stop line with a corresponding sign without stopping, the camera “guides” the vehicle, recording its speed
