Penalties for dirty numbers (unreadable) have always been.This is an actual problem that many drivers who are not following the purity of their car can face. How much penalty for a dirty number will have to pay to the driver and how to determine the degree of contamination? About this and talking.
The license plate of the car must be clearlyis visible at any time of the day and from different angles. A similar requirement is in the law on administrative violations. If the license plate is not visible from a distance of 20 meters, then this is a violation. By the way, this is the main criterion, which can be the basis for a fine for a dirty number. There are other rules, according to which the number can be readable, but still fall under certain violations.
Violations occur in the following cases:
It is worth noting that in the dark atattention is taken only to the cleanliness of the rear license plate of the car. And if the front sign is soiled, then this violation is not taken into account. Remember this when the inspector of traffic police fined for dirty rooms will write out at night. However, the practice shows that the drivers can rarely get a fine. Most often, such a violation is eliminated by the driver on the spot for five minutes, and all ends only with an oral warning from the inspector.
Dirt on the number plate is not seriousviolation. Therefore, for drivers who are behind the wheel of a car with dirty numbers, there is no liability. However, responsibility is possible if the number is completely unreadable. For this, punishments are provided for:
There are drivers who intentionally mess up the number plates so that in case of a violation the camera can not fix the number of the car. For this punishment can be more severe:
Сложность в данном случае заключается в proof of intentional number contamination by the driver. He can deny everything and say that the number was stained by natural means. So, quite rarely drivers get so serious fines for the said violation.
Есть мнение, что избежать ответственности за an unreadable number plate can be used if there was rain or snow during the detection of the violation. In this case, the driver has a chance to prove his innocence in court and not pay a fine of 500 rubles. To do this, he must make an official request to the meteorological center, obtain data on the weather on the day of the violation and provide these data to the court. In this case there is a chance to avoid punishment, but this can not be guaranteed. However, this practice does not take root, because it will take a long time to expect data from the meteorological center, and no one will be suing because of 500 rubles.
If an employee of the PDS stops the car and asks forclear the number from dirt, then you should do what he asks. Moving on a car with an unreadable sign is a violation. Most often this is exactly what happens, but in some cases, traffic police inspectors insist on drawing up a protocol, which will result in a fine. In this case, it is worth asking the inspector whether he has a photo or video evidence of the violation. If there is, the driver has the right to ask him to provide. If the inspector refuses to show evidence of a violation, or immediately recognizes that it is missing, the driver can quickly clear the license plate on the spot. To detain the driver of the traffic police no longer has the right, because the numbers are clean, and there is no evidence of violation. Therefore, most often inspectors of the traffic police and dispense an oral warning.
If there is evidence in draftingprotocol should not interfere with the traffic police officer, as he acts according to legislative norms. In this case, responsibility will not be avoided, unless the court finds sufficient grounds for the cancellation of the fine. The weather can serve as such a basis, but this is a rarity.
When drafting a protocol, it is worthwhile to be vigilant.Sometimes inspectors use legal illiteracy of drivers and in the protocol indicate that the driver intentionally hid the license plate with the help of dirt. In this case, the amount of the fine will be 5000 rubles, moreover, it is possible to deprive the driver's license for a period of 3 months. Therefore, before you sign your name under the protocol, you must carefully read it.
Некоторые ушлые водители вносят свои замечания в protocol, indicating the violations that occurred when the driver stopped. However, drivers with experience can do this. The novice driver often does not even read the protocol and signs what he is asked to sign.
Now you know what a fine for dirty roomsis possible in 2017. Most likely, this norm will remain in 2018 as well. Such a small amount of fine is due to the fact that it is easy to soil a room in a city and even more outside the city. Drivers can not know whether their license plate is dirty or clean at the moment, and for many, its unreadability is really a surprise.
Fortunately, inspectors of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate are included in the provisiondrivers and ask to eliminate the violation on the spot, after which they wish a happy journey and release the driver. Such a reaction is common, but there are harmful and principled inspectors who make up the protocols of violation. Therefore, before you get into the car, it is worth checking the condition of the rooms and rinsing them if they are so dirty that they are generally unreadable. This will help to avoid a penalty.
