Driving without license plates - worth the risk?

The forums motorists and companies sometimes simply raises the question - is it possible to go without numbers?What is fraught with such a breach?What is the amount of the fine and whether it can somehow be avoided in exceptional circumstances (for example, the number of lost or stolen on a trip, or a car just bought and you go on it just for the numbers).What will happen to the driver in such a situation in the case of a meeting with the inspector DPS?Let's face it.

On the Internet a lot of tall tales and true stories about how riding without license plates, the penalty for which was always severe enough, is proving to be not such a dangerous business.As "for free" drivers "otmazyvatsya", resulting in "serious" arguments of "just lost a number of new food" and off with a symbolic fine of one hundred rubles, and even a warning.

seriously discussing the situation with one missing number.Say, when Claims traffic police we reasonably answer that in the Code, such a treatment is not available, it it is not about numbers, but about the registration plates, and we somehow just go for re-registration, so that, in addition to a fine of 100 rubles per unreadablenumber, no matter what do not agree.Ironically, these arguments are sometimes really "rolled".But we hasten to disappoint (and warn!) - "Freebie" is over.Since February 2012, the decision of the Supreme Court of riding with one number is equivalent to driving without license plates fully with all its consequences.

So what punishment awaits us for such infringement, as driving without license plates?According h. 2 tablespoons.12.2 of the Administrative Code driving without license plates or defined in unintended locations, or difficult to read (which is difficult to identify) is punishable by a fine of five thousand rubles.or deprivation of the right to drive the vehicle for a period of 1 to 3 months.The most serious at the same time - license suspension, which for many is death.

real hard action, is not it?Therefore, let us consider in detail the nuances of the situation called "Riding without numbers."

First of all, remember that, according to the new edition of the Code of Administrative Offences, the requirements for state registration numbers as follows:

  • actual availability of the car;
  • installation at the intended place (where there is a special frame).This means that numbers carry with them in the trunk or under glass - still did not have them with me at all.From a legal perspective it is also driving without a room!
  • numbers should be easy to read, that is, any element of disguise excluded.Nothing should be hidden from the watchful eye of a room inspector.Therefore it is better remove all the curtains, mesh or pictures - it works against you.

And if riding a muddy rooms - it's a little more offense, then any of the above situations, falls into the category of "driving without numbers" and punishable by the law of the gravity.Unknown even worse - to pay 5000 or lose, even temporarily, of the rights.For many in our day because of the conditions of modern urban life with its mobility and large distances lose the rights (that is, seats on public transport) - means to break the usual way and upset a lot of plans.And some rights are required by the nature of daily professional activities.So think seriously whether you need such problems.

Of course, it is difficult to foresee all situations.Recently at one of the forums raised the issue of the legality of the actions of employees of traffic police stopped a car without number plates and the driver was fined."Chip" was that the driver just got a room on the purchased brand new car, but fasten in place could not - did not match the hole mountings and carrying them home tie.Attempts to explain the situation, as usual, came to naught.

indignation driver, from a purely human point of view, it is possible to understand, but (alas!) Formally (ie by law) the inspector has the right to fine him - he was driving without license plates!With the adoption of the new Code of opportunity "to get out" in this and similar situations almost gone.So do not want trouble on his head - not relied on the logic of the situation, or the "human factor."It is better to think over in advance all possible future problems.For example, going over the numbers (as in the above case) buy in advance and throw in the trunk of a special license plate holder and a set of tools.

Good luck with your roads and less problems!
