Today we will be interested in the transfer of control of the car to a person who does not have rights. This is an extremely important topic, ignorance of which can lead to serious problems for both the driver and the owner of the car. Is it possible to drive without WU? And what will happen in the absence of this document? And if the document is forgotten or expired? Understand all this and not only try below. In fact, everything is much simpler than it might seem initially. And everyone can quite quickly remember the information offered to attention.
Mandatory documents
The fines for transferring the right of management to a person without rights are varied. In this case, both the driver and the owner of the car will have to pay. Just the amount of payments will be different.
It is worth paying attention to what documents the driver should have constantly. Among them are:
- driver's license;
- STS;
- CTP or CASCO policy;
- identification.
Accordingly, the absence of a VU is an administrative violation. And he will have to answer. True, in different volumes.
Forgotten at home
The first scenario is a situation in which a driver’s license is forgotten at home. That is, there is a WU, but at the moment it is absent.
Under such circumstances, you need to give the traffic police five hundred rubles. The citizen’s forgetfulness will cost so much, because in fact he has a “driver card”. But the owner of the car has nothing to fear. For such an act he will not be held accountable.
Complete absence
The transfer of vehicle control to a person who does not have rights, as has already been said, can be punished in different ways. First, consider all possible penalties for drivers. They are always held accountable, but vehicle owners can be freed from punishment. But more on that later.
Article 12.7 of Part 1 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation states that driving a vehicle without a driver’s license in Russia is prohibited by a fine. Its size varies between 5 and 15 thousand rubles. A more accurate amount will be assigned directly upon issuing a fine.
In this case, it is understood that the car was driven by a citizen without a driver’s license in principle. That is, such a driver has no rights at all.
Overdue document
Unfortunately, some drivers are extremely inattentive to their documents. And such a situation can provoke the issuance of extra fines. For example, for driving without documents.
The thing is that driving a vehicle with an expired "driver card" is also an administrative violation. And it is treated as driving a car without a WU. Such a document shall be deemed invalid. And that means, also to its complete absence.
Accordingly, liability in this case will be assigned under Art. 12.7 h. 1 Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. Avoiding her does not work.
Important: for the exchange of expired rights they are not additionally fined.
Suspended from Driving
But that is not all. Situations in life are different, all of them must be considered in great detail.
It also happens that a citizen is removed from driving vehicles, but he still continues to break the law. What threatens for such an act?
This alignment entails several ways to punish a negligent driver. He may face:
- a fine in the amount of thirty thousand rubles;
- fifteen days of administrative arrest;
- community service up to 200 hours.
A court will appoint a more accurate sanction. As a rule, it is easier to prevent an offense than to deal with its consequences later. Everything is not so difficult. It is enough just to adhere to the rules established by the legislation of the Russian Federation.
Direct transfer
As already mentioned, both the driver and the owner of the car will have to answer for the corresponding violation. This is a normal occurrence. By law, each owner of the vehicle must check the driver’s certificate. Otherwise, serious problems cannot be ruled out.
The transfer of vehicle control to an unauthorized person in Russia in 2018 is suppressed by a significant fine. The owner of the car will have to transfer thirty thousand to the treasury of the local traffic police if he entrusted the transport to a person without a VU.
Important: the exception is when the rights are forgotten. In this case, a fine, as a rule, is not issued.
Exempt from liability - information for owners
A power of attorney for the right to drive a vehicle is a document that is recommended to be drawn up before letting someone behind the wheel of their car. He will help to prove that the transport is not stolen.
The owner of the machine, as already mentioned, under certain circumstances can avoid liability for access to the steering wheel of a vehicle without a control unit. But how and when?
There are not so many situations. For example, you can not be afraid of any sanctions for the violation studied, if:
- the owner of the car will be able to prove that he did not know about the violation by the driver;
- the citizen will declare that his transport was stolen.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that if there is a power of attorney for the right to drive a vehicle, it is problematic to confirm the relevant options. More precisely, in the case of theft it is impossible.
Loopholes for drivers
But legislative features do not end there. The thing is that drivers can also avoid responsibility for driving without a license. These are not the most common cases, but they still occur in practice.
In real life, the responsibility for the lack of VU can not be threatened only when VU is simply forgotten at home. In such circumstances, it is necessary to ask the traffic police officer to give a little time to correct the situation. A citizen can be given about half an hour to bring a driver’s license to the scene.
Accordingly, if the rights appear in an inattentive driver, he can only write a warning. But they will not fine.
Vehicle evacuation
We examined fines for transferring management rights to an unauthorized person. Only the above costs are not exhaustive.
The thing is that when a citizen stops without a WU, vehicles can be evacuated. This alignment is very common.
If the vehicle was evacuated, you will have to pay in addition to the penalty for the lack of rights to pay for:
- transport evacuation services;
- the time the car was in the parking lot.
There is nothing difficult to understand in this. True, the exact costs of these services are set in each region separately. This point will have to be specified in a specific city in advance.
Exceptions to the Rules
By law, you can sometimes drive without a WU. But when? For example, with a training ride.
If a citizen is trained in driving, he cannot have a driver’s license. At the same time, classes should be held in specially designated areas for study and in the presence of a driving instructor.
The latter must have a license to carry out activities, as well as a driver’s license with a certain category of vehicle. Moreover, when driving in transport, there must be appropriate notes.
Only under such conditions will driving training be considered legal.If there are no documents, the driving instructor will be fined in one way or another.
Conclusion
Deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle may be carried out for various traffic violations. After the right to drive has been taken away from the person, he will be prohibited from driving until the driver’s card is restored. Otherwise, you will have to face the sanctions indicated above.
As practice shows, fines for the lack of rights in one form or another are encountered quite often. And few people manage to avoid responsibility for their behavior. Therefore, it is better to be careful about preparing for driving. Then there will be nothing to fear. And in order to prevent the transfer of vehicle control to a person who does not have rights, it is necessary to carefully check the documents from the driver before driving.
