Today, due to its compactness,dynamism and mobility, scooters are becoming an increasingly popular means of transportation. Driving such a transport does not require special skills and efforts, and it brings tremendous pleasure to the driver. However, before you sit behind the wheel, it is worth considering whether the driver is well aware of the potential danger on the road, does he know the traffic rules, do you need to have the rights to a scooter (50 cubes or more). Otherwise, you can not only pay a fine, but also become a threat to both personal safety and the safety of other road users.
Due to the fact that the popularity of scooters is fastgrows and in the city limits they become more every year, in the SDA there were corresponding changes. What rights are needed for a scooter (50 cubes and above)? In the SDA there is a new category M, which includes scooters, mopeds and light quad bikes.
The rights to a scooter (for 50 cubes) are needed. Legislation of the Russian Federation and the SDA state that M belongs to the TS corresponding to the following parameters:
Indirectly, this category includes bicycles equipped with an engine. But only in the event that their power is equal to the technical characteristics of the scooter.
SDA argue that the rights to a scooter for 50 cubesare needed. Therefore, drivers who want to drive this type of vehicle must come to the driving school for a theoretical and practical training course. After you can get the rights to a scooter for 50 cubes.
If this vehicle is stopped by the traffic police inspector,will be presented to the officer of the law of the right of category M on a fifty-foot scooter if the driver is an adult or a temporary license to operate the vehicle if the driver is not yet 18 years of age.
The SDA further clarifies that the rights tomanagement of vehicles of category M are also drivers who have already established a different category. It turns out that if the driver has an open category for driving a vehicle, for example, B or A, then scooter control is permissible. Those who have long been driving a car, a motorcycle or a truck, once again undergo training in a driving school on the M category is not needed.
With what rights it is possible to control various vehicles, is presented in the form of a scheme in the figure below.
Drivers who have a tractor driver's license can not drive a scooter.
Since 2013, the Federal Law on Road Traffica new category for scooters. So, the driver who wants to use this mode of transport must obtain the appropriate permission from the traffic police.
True, the procedure for obtaining rights to a newcategory M is still at the development stage and is full of unclosed questions. In the traffic rules every year, then make changes related to driving the scooter, then again remove the new items.
According to the SDA 1.2, the scooter is not a mechanical vehicle. This means that you can safely drive this type of vehicle without any rights. But there is a trick here too. In the section of penalties it is noted that the amount of the fine for driving a 50-cc scooter without rights of the M category is 800 rubles.
To date, the driver can drive a scooterwith a M category MU, if the vehicle's engine does not exceed a volume of 50 cubes, and the maximum driving speed does not exceed 60 km / h. If the volume of the engine on the scooter is more than 50 cubes, then this vehicle is equated with motorcycles and the corresponding category A driver's license. So, the rights to a scooter of more than 50 cubes are needed.
In addition, during the management of the scooter withwith the engine of more than fifty cubes, it is also desirable to have a sales contract or a purchase receipt for the vehicle, confirming that the owner of the vehicle is the person who manages the scooter.
In the event that the vehicle does not go beyondpermissible speed and engine capacity is not more than 50 cubes, the driver of the scooter is enough to carry the passport of this vehicle. It will be necessary in the event that the vehicle is stopped by a traffic police officer and asked to produce documents.
If the rights to a scooter are required in mandatorythen for registration (TC) in ATS units, no rights are required - it is possible to register a vehicle before obtaining a TS if it is necessary to manage this category of vehicles. In addition, you do not need a technical passport and maintenance. The same applies to insurance. But you can get a MTPL policy if the driver is interested in the process. Accordingly, the policy is not subject to inspection by the inspector, and the penalty in the case of his absence is not superimposed.
The fines for damage to a car or other vehicle can be levied by a moped only in court or with the consent of the parties involved in the accident.
If in the ST in the column designated forcategory M, stands "ML" - this means that the management of a scooter or moped to this driver is prohibited for medical reasons. To get the rights to a scooter can not be a person who has undergone surgical intervention to the eye less than a month ago, has violations of vestibular functions, immobility of the interphalangeal space, paralysis, as well as those with vision of the seeing eye below 0.2 and the second sight of 0.6. This is confirmed by the medical commission.
Penalties for the management of this TS are superimposed if:
ВУ can be received by the Russians who have reachedsixteen years of age. In the absence of rights in the management of the scooter, fines are imposed in the form of a fine in the amount of 6 to 20 thousand rubles. In the event that the traffic police inspector was stopped by a vehicle the driver of which was a person under the age of fourteen, fines are imposed on the parents or guardians of the child. In addition, the traffic police officer can withdraw the vehicle from the driver without the rights and send his scooter to the parking lot, and this requires additional payments.
In case of loss or theft, the scooter ownermust immediately report this fact to the ATS units, i.e. to write an application. After receiving the application, the driver is issued a temporary document for the management of designated TS, and within a month - new permanent rights.
For overdue rights, too,recovery. After the expiry of the document (or, even better, in advance), you should immediately go to the nearby department of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate to pay the state duty and obtain new rights.
Punishment can also follow the ownerscooter to 50 or more than 50 cubes, which entrusted the management of the vehicle to a person who does not have a scooter for a scooter or other vehicle. More seriously, a repeated offense is punishable. The driver, who before that had been deprived of a commander's license to operate the vehicle, but who ventured to again appear on the carriageway without a VU, would be fined 50,000 rubles.
If a person refuses to pay a fine within a calendar month, then an alternative to a monetary penalty will be an arrest of fifteen days or correctional work for twenty hours.
So, managing a scooter for fifty cubes or more without rights is equated with the absence of a WM and is punishable by a fine. An exception is just a training ride with an instructor.
