Today, if a driver forgot his driver’s license at home, but the inspector found out that they were issued to him, and he was not deprived of the right to drive, the maximum he faces is a fine of 500 rubles. The situation is much worse if he forgot the car registration certificate at home. In this case, the arrest of the car with its address to the depot is also threatened.
As one of the authors of the bill, the head of the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans Affairs, Yaroslav Nilov, explained to the RG correspondent the absence of the driver’s documents of the vehicle, if any. , does not affect road safety. And placing a vehicle in a specialized parking lot is fraught with additional difficulties for both the vehicle owner and the employees who decide to impose such an administrative penalty.
The most typical case is when a driver forgets a document at home, at work or elsewhere. Such forgetfulness is always legally assessed as the driver’s fault and is deliberate. However, in most cases, this reason for detention is removed. The documents are delivered at the place of an administrative offense by relatives or acquaintances (this possibility is provided for in the Administrative Offenses Code). However, not all drivers can eliminate the reason for the stop at the place of an administrative violation.
According to him, the only case of stopping a vehicle, when the driver does not have documents for the vehicle or, in established cases, there are no documents provided for by the Customs Union legislation, with customs marks confirming the temporary importation of the vehicle, It may be a situation where the car is listed as stolen. But information about these cars is not only available to traffic police officers, it is also publicly available on traffic police websites.
For this reason, the deputies proposed adding a clause to section 1 of article 27.13 of the Code of Administrative Infractions that, with respect to the provisions of section 1 of article 12.3, which implies the evacuation of a car, is only possible if the vehicle is listed as stolen.
The State Traffic Inspectorate believes that this proposal is unlikely to receive a positive response. How does a highway inspector determine that an undocumented driver is driving you legally if he is not the owner? If the car has just been stolen, it has not yet entered the wanted database, and the driver does not have documents for this, what should I do? Let out? It’s carte blanche for car thieves.
Please note that there are currently no licenses for the vehicle. What if the driver is not the owner of the car? And he has an OSAGO policy without limiting the circle of people admitted to management. How to understand that you drive legally?
Also, if the car is in the wanted database, it appears as stolen, then this is a sufficient basis for your arrest, but within the framework of the Code of Criminal Procedure. And for this it is not necessary to make changes to the Administrative Offenses Code.
It also confuses the same wording “listed in theft”. The car can be searched. And there was theft or theft -they are two different concepts- the investigation will determine after the aggressor is caught. In general, the bill is quite controversial.
