Penalty for exceeding the speed limit by 20 km

Punishment for speeding

Speeding has already brought a lot of grief, so legislators are paying a lot of attention to this type of offense. We will talk about ways to record speeding, as well as administrative liability for this offense.

In 2018, the fine for speeding ranges from 500 to 5,000 rubles. In some cases, penalties such as deprivation of a driver's license are applicable.

Driving fast is the passion of many car owners. In Russia, on highways the speed is limited to 110 km/h; in some areas, driving at a speed of 130 km/h is allowed. This is regulated by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 621 of July 23, 2013 “On amendments to the traffic rules of the Russian Federation”:

“Clause 10.3 of the Traffic Regulations shall be supplemented with the following note:

"Note. By decision of the owners or possessors of highways, an increase in the speed on sections of roads for certain types of vehicles may be allowed if road conditions provide for safe movement at a higher speed. In this case, the permitted speed should not exceed 130 km/h on roads marked with sign 5.1, and 110 km/h on roads marked with sign 5.3.”

How is the penalty for speeding determined?

There are two factors that determine the penalty for speeding:

The degree to which the speed limit is exceeded in a given area.
A method for recording speed violations.

— If the speed is exceeded, but not more than 20 km/h, the driver will not be punished.

— Exceeding the speed limit by 20-40 km/h results in a fine of 500 rubles.

— Exceeding the speed limit by 40-60 km/h – a fine of 1000-1500 rubles (this is regulated by Part 3 of Article 12.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

— If you exceed the speed by 60-80 km/h, not only fines can be applied (from 2000 to 2500 rubles), but also temporary deprivation of rights - for a period of 4-6 months (Part 4 of Article 12.9).

— If the speed limit is exceeded by more than 80 km/h, the fine will be 5,000 rubles, and your driver’s license can be lost for 6 months (Part 5 of Article 12.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

So far, the size of fines is stable and no change in one direction or another is expected.

There are two ways to detect speeding.

The radar allows you to set the speed of the car, so it is often used by the traffic police inspector. There are two options for further developments: when drawing up the protocol, you admit or do not admit your guilt. If you admit your guilt, the inspector calmly draws up a report and receives hope for a bonus at the end of the month.

If you do not admit your guilt (after all, according to radar readings, you may even be deprived of your driver’s license for driving fast!), the inspector draws up a report and transfers the case of the offense to the traffic police or the court. The size of the fine can be determined by the traffic police, but deprivation of a driver's license is possible only after a court hearing.

Clause 1.2 of the resolution of the Plenum of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation dated October 24, 2006 No. 18:

“If a traffic offense was recorded directly by employees of the State Road Safety Inspectorate (hereinafter referred to as the State Traffic Inspectorate) using the above technical means that did not work automatically, then in this case, in accordance with Part 1 of Article 28.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the official issues a resolution in a case of an administrative offense or on the basis of Part 1 of Article 28.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, a protocol on an administrative offense is drawn up in relation to the driver of the vehicle. When drawing up a protocol on an administrative offense, photographic and filming materials and video recordings obtained using the mentioned technical means are attached to it as evidence of the commission of an administrative offense.

In this case, the norms established by Articles 2.6.1, Part 3.1 of Article 4.1, Part 3 of Article 28.6 and Part 6 of Article 29.10 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation do not apply. (clause 1.2 introduced by the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated 02/09/2012 N 2)"

Fixed radars are used in heavy traffic areas where a wide variety of disturbances are possible. Such cameras are equipped not only with tools for determining speed, but also with a system for recognizing state registration signs and video recording of cars. As a result, the speed, sign of the car, its owner are automatically determined - and a decision on the offense is formed.

Automation determines not the driver, but the owner of the car. And it is he who will receive the fine, regardless of who was driving.

The automatic system treats violators humanely and issues fines in the minimum amount for a given speed limit.

But if the driver was not the owner of the car, but someone else, even a small fine would not suit him. We recommend that you pay attention to Clause 1.3 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation dated October 24, 2006 No. 18:

“The owner (possessor) of a vehicle, in case of disagreement with a decision made against him to bring him to administrative responsibility for an offense detected and recorded by technical means operating automatically, when exercising his right to appeal this decision, may be released from administrative liability, provided that during the consideration of the complaint, the data contained in it will be confirmed that at the time the administrative offense was recorded, the vehicle was in the possession or use of another person or has now been taken out of its possession as a result of unlawful actions of other persons (Part 2 Article 2.6.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, note to Article 1.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation). In this case, the owner is obliged to provide evidence of his innocence.

Evidence confirming the fact that a vehicle is in the possession (use) of another person may, in particular, be a power of attorney for the right to drive a vehicle by another person, a policy of compulsory insurance of civil liability of vehicle owners, which contains a record of permission to drive this vehicle such person, a rental or leasing agreement for a vehicle, testimony of witnesses and (or) the person directly driving the vehicle at the time the violation was recorded. This, as well as other evidence, does not have pre-established force and, when carrying out proceedings in the case, must be examined and assessed according to the rules established by Article 26.11 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, in their entirety. (clause 1.3 introduced by the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated 02/09/2012 N 2)"

Please also study the information in such legislative acts.

Clause 1.1 of the resolution of the Plenum of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation dated October 24, 2006 No. 18:

It should be borne in mind that the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation for administrative offenses in the field of road traffic has established a special procedure for bringing to administrative responsibility when they are recorded using special technical means operating in automatic mode, having the functions of photography, filming, video recording, or photo means operating in automatic mode. and filming, video recording (hereinafter referred to as technical means operating in automatic mode). According to Part 3 of Article 28.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, in such cases a protocol on an administrative offense is not drawn up; a resolution in the case of an administrative offense is made without the participation of the owner (owner) of the vehicle and is drawn up in the manner prescribed by Article 29.10 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. In accordance with Part 3.1 of Article 4.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, in these cases, an administrative fine is imposed, calculated in the smallest amount within the sanction of the applicable article or part of the article of the Special Part of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. If the applicable norm establishes an administrative penalty in the form of deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle or administrative arrest, then an administrative fine is imposed in the maximum amount provided for in Part 1 of Article 3.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation for citizens. (Clause 1.1 introduced by Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated 02/09/2012 N 2)

Part 3 of Article 28.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation:

In case of detection of an administrative offense provided for by Chapter 12 of this Code, or an administrative offense in the field of territory improvement, provided for by the law of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, committed using a vehicle or by the owner or other holder of a land plot or other property, recorded using automatic mode special technical means that have the functions of photography and filming, video recording, or means of photography and filming, video recording, a protocol on an administrative offense is not drawn up, and a decision on a case of an administrative offense is made without the participation of the person against whom the case of an administrative offense has been initiated, and is executed in the manner prescribed by Article 29.10 of this Code. Copies of the resolution in the case of an administrative offense and materials obtained using automatic special technical means that have the functions of photography, filming, video recording, or means of photography, filming, video recording, are sent to the person against whom the case of an administrative offense has been initiated , by registered mail within three days from the date of the said decision.

Part 3.1 of Article 4.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation reads:

In the cases provided for in Part 3 of Article 28.6 of this Code, administrative punishment is imposed in the form of an administrative fine. In this case, the amount of the imposed administrative fine must be the smallest within the sanction of the applicable article or part of the article of the Special Part of this Code, and in cases where the sanction of the applied article or part of the article of the Special Part of this Code provides for administrative punishment in the form of deprivation of the right to drive vehicles or administrative arrest and there is no provision for administrative punishment in the form of an administrative fine, administrative punishment is imposed in the form of an administrative fine in the amount of five thousand rubles

The resolution is sent in printed form within three days from the date of issuance. If you do not agree with the decision, you have 10 days to appeal it. The time limit for filing a complaint begins from the moment the decision is received.

Part 1 of Article 30.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation reads:

“A complaint against a decision in a case of an administrative offense may be filed within ten days from the date of delivery or receipt of a copy of the decision”

Remember that it is the car owner who must prove his innocence!

Arguments that will help you challenge the fine

The speed of one of the cars is recorded using radar. If the traffic police inspector presents radar readings as the basis for drawing up a report, you can point to another car and state that the car driving in front of you exceeded the speed.

It will be even more difficult for the inspector to prove your guilt using radar readings if there are several lanes on the road with different speed limits. In this case, you need to prove that it was your car that exceeded the speed limit, moving in the lane where this speed is prohibited.

You can ask the inspector to show the radar certificate. This document contains possible inaccuracies. In some cases, this error can reduce the degree of liability.

If the traffic police inspector measured the speed through the window of an official car or through the glass of a stationary station, the radar readings can be considered unreliable. Demand that information about all these recording violations be included in the protocol.

If you refuse to enter the specified information into the protocol, refer to Article 26.8 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. “Indications of special technical means”:

"1. Special technical means are understood as measuring instruments that are approved in the prescribed manner as measuring instruments, have appropriate certificates and have passed metrological verification.

2. Testimony of special technical means is reflected in the protocol or decision in the case of violation, issued in the case provided for in Part 3 of Article 28.6 of this Code.”

If the violation was recorded by a stationary video camera, contact the traffic police with the listed questions.

An individual approach to each individual offense is important, so contact traffic lawyers. They have significant experience in appealing such cases and will find a clue to appeal the punishment in every decision.

How are you punished for repeat speed violations?

In most cases, a repeated fine is imposed under the same articles as for the initial speed violation. But if you exceed the speed limit by more than 60 km/h, your driver's license will be revoked for one year. If a stationary radar detects a repeated speeding of 60 km/h, the owner of the car will receive a fine of 5,000 rubles (Part 7 of Article 12.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

What is the maximum speed limit?

This question interests almost all Russian drivers.

Our recommendation is to follow the speed limit recommended by traffic regulations.

After all, you can, of course, hope to avoid punishment for violation. But at the same time, every time exceeding the speed carries the risk of an accident.

You need to follow the speed limit especially carefully within the city. If you drive at a speed of 80 km/h, you will not be fined. But if you get into an accident and the insurance company proves that you exceeded the legal speed of 60 km/h, you will not receive any payments and you will most likely be found to be the culprit of the accident.

Take care of your safety and the safety of other road users!

Table of fines for speeding

Search the table of fines of the Code of Administrative Offenses

Exceeding the speed limit is one of the most common violations on our roads.

The maximum speed limit is carried out using sign 3.24, the sign prohibits movement at a speed (km/h) exceeding that indicated on the sign. The end of the speed limit zone is indicated by signs 3.25 “End of the maximum speed limit zone”, 3.31 “End of the zone of all restrictions”, 8.2.1 “Availability zone” - installed together with sign 3.24

The minimum speed limit is indicated by signs 4.6 and 5.1, the end of the restrictions is indicated by signs 4.7 and 5.2.
Please remember that on the motorway the minimum speed limit is 40 km/h. The maximum permitted speed in the city is 60 km/h.

Penalties start for exceeding 20 km/h or more, often exceeding a smaller amount is called permitted or permissible speeding, but this does not mean that you can drive in the city at a speed of 79 m/h. Of course, you will not be fined, but in the event of an accident you will be found guilty, especially if the other participant in the accident did not violate the rules.

The following speed limits are established by law:

from 20 to 40 km/h - fine 500 rubles
from 40 to 60 km/h – fine 1000 to 1500 rubles
from 60 to 80 km/h – a fine of 2000 to 2500 rubles or deprivation of rights from 4-6 months
more than 80 km/h - fine 5000 rubles or deprivation of rights for 6 months

For what speeding will your license be revoked?

According to the Code of Administrative Offenses, you can be deprived of your license for exceeding the speed limit by more than 60 km/h for a period of 4 to 6 months, and for exceeding the speed limit again - for a period of 1 year.

In the case of recording an administrative offense using special technical means operating in automatic mode and having the functions of photo, film, and video recording - an administrative fine of 5,000 rubles

Ways to detect speeding

At the moment, stationary radars installed on special road structures are mainly used.

How to challenge a fine or imprisonment for speeding

If we are talking about a mobile or stationary radar (tripod), then the inspector must present evidence that your vehicle is exceeding the speed limit.

The traffic police officer is obliged to show you the recorded radar readings (with which you do not agree, since your car is not alone on the road and there is a possibility that these readings belong to the car that was driving in front of you).
If the radar coverage area includes lanes with different permissible speeds, the inspector must prove that the readings belong specifically to your car and that they were measured in an area with a lower permissible speed.
Ask the inspector to present the certificate for this radar: it contains information about the verification and permissible error of the device. In some cases, taking into account the maximum permissible error of the radar can help you avoid maximum administrative liability.

Radar readings can be considered unreliable if:

The traffic police inspector measured the speed of movement through the glass of a patrol car or from a stationary traffic police station. If you do not agree with the inspector’s radar readings, be sure to request that all information about traffic violations be included in the protocol.

If we are talking about a stationary video recording camera, then you should write a complaint to the traffic police department that issued this decision or immediately go to court. Each case is quite individual, so we recommend using the help of a car lawyer.

Speeding fine in 2019

In 2018, the State Traffic Inspectorate issued over 131 million “verdicts” for violating traffic rules. Of these, 87.3 million were for speeding. The record is absolute, the gap is colossal: second in the sad TOP are fines for non-compliance with the requirements of signs or markings, and this is a total of 8.6 million decisions. The difference is 10 times!

It would seem that everything is logical: monitor the speedometer, look at the signs. But even experienced drivers fail these commandments: in practice, not everyone with experience knows where and what speed is legal and how much to pay if you exceed it.

Some people don’t understand the rules, others are counting on “luck,” hence the disappointing statistics and impressive fines. There are so many cameras on the roads that you can’t escape the All-Seeing Eye, and we won’t help here. But it is quite possible to clarify where and at what speed to drive, what the fines are and how to save money.

Different conditions mean different speeds. Let's take a look at the situation

Chapter 10 of the traffic rules says: control your speed depending on the surrounding factors. Which ones?

where is the road (in a metropolis or far outside populated areas) and its type (country route or highway, for example);
type of transport (are you plying the night avenues on a motorcycle, or are you driving a powerful truck);
actions performed (taking schoolchildren on an excursion or transporting dangerous oversized items).

On the motorway

The road surface on highways is always maintained in good condition

More speed is allowed here. The “fault” for this is good coverage.

Cars, motorcycles and trucks of category B can safely travel 110 km/h
a little less - 90 km/h - allowed for cars with trailers, buses and trucks of category C
Trucks with passengers and buses with children won’t accelerate much, and it’s not worth it: 60 km/h is a safe norm
If you are being towed by another vehicle, do not go beyond 50 km/h.

Outside the city

Country roads are not as good as motorways. There may be holes and bumps.

Upper limits for roads that are NOT highways and NOT located in a city:

90 km/h – motorcycles, cars, trucks (B), intercity buses
70 km/h – car trailer, trucks (C), large buses
60km/h – trucks with people and buses with young passengers
50 km/h – cars with tow

Here the road condition may be far from ideal. Unpleasant surprises and obstacles are possible, so pay attention and pay attention again.

In the city, visibility is poorer and there are more pedestrians. Attention while driving!

no faster than 60 km/h. This is for any transport.
50 km/h – maximum when towing.
20 km/h if there are a lot of people around: you cannot speed in the yard or in the area for cyclists.

The restrictions are explained by heavy traffic – both cars and pedestrians. Plus – visibility is not 100%: around houses, business centers, kiosks and other structures. Speed up to 60 km/h is optimal - it has been proven that within its limits the driver has time to control the situation. In other words, there is every chance of avoiding an accident.

Contrary to popular belief, it is 60 km/h, and not 80, that is the maximum permissible norm. And the fact that a fine is issued after 80 is not an argument. In the event of an accident, a car traveling at a speed of 61 km/h will be at fault. Or he is also guilty if the second participant also has a violation.

If you see these signs, it means that the above information is being corrected.

You cannot exceed the number in the circle.

Accelerate up to 90 km/h, even though you are in the city. Permitted, as the area is relatively safe.

Attention - fake! Fake: the maximum allowed is 130. There are no circumstances that would allow you to exceed this speed. Have you seen this sign? We don’t get distracted, we drive according to the rules: in the city – up to 60 km/h, on the highway – up to 110.

Fines 2019: how much “shines” for exceeding

The kilometers you exceed dictate the size of the penalties.

There is no penalty for exceeding 20 km/h
from 20 to 40 km/h – 500 rubles, did the incident happen again? 500 rubles again
from 40 to 60 km/h – 1,000 – 1,500 rubles. When repeating, it’s already 2,000 – 2,500 rubles
from 60 to 80 km/h – 2,000 – 2,500 rubles or deprivation of rights for 4 – 6 months. The desire to race again may result in a year of deprivation.
from 80 km/h – 5,000 rubles or imprisonment for 6 months. The second time they will deal with it more harshly and deprive you of your license for 1 year.

What violation is considered repeated? The one that was admitted within a year from the previous one.

How can you “earn” punishment?

Violations are recorded by traffic police inspectors or video cameras.

Stop by guard service

Traffic police officers determine the excess using mobile and portable radars. The first ones are attached to a patrol car or mounted on a special tripod, the second ones are hand-held equipment.

Mobile radars are most often installed on the most dangerous sections of roads

Imagine: an inspector stops you and reports a violation. What you have the right to demand:

readings recorded on the device;
evidence that the readings apply to your car;
certificate for the radar, which indicates the period of its scheduled metrological verification and the permissible error.

If the violation is within the maximum error range of the device, sanctions can be avoided, the issue will be resolved immediately and in favor of the driver.

If guilt is found, the police officer issues a fine on the spot, and a copy is given to the driver. Is the matter even more serious and threatens deprivation? Then the inspector creates an administrative protocol, which is sent to the traffic police or court. The same document is issued if the driver denies the violation and does not agree with the radar readings.

Even valiant inspectors are not immune from mistakes, so monitor the content of the letter yourself. Then you will have to prove your truth in court or the traffic police.

Video cameras

Along the roads with the most intense traffic, stationary radars are installed - they are also video recording cameras. Did the car drive in this area at a prohibited speed? A photo of her license plate number is automatically sent to the information center - here a resolution on an administrative violation is formed, it is printed and sent to the owner of the car by registered mail within 3 days. It is the owner, and it does not matter who was driving at that moment.

The difference between sanctions from the traffic police and from cameras

There are differences, and here are 3 features of video recording:

it will not be possible to get away with a simple warning;
deprivation of rights is impossible, but the fine will be maximum;
if no deprivation is provided at all, the fine will be minimal.

An important point: in the case of cameras, you may not even be aware of the fines. So don’t be lazy to check them regularly, otherwise you won’t have time to pay with a 50% discount.

When is the 50% discount valid?

20 days from the date of violation you can reduce the fine by 2 times. If you didn’t see it, forgot, or didn’t have time, you’ll have to shell out the entire amount.

When discounts do not apply at all:

when exceeding 40 km/h again;
if the driver is drunk or under the influence of drugs;
with a complex option with repeated ignoring of the red traffic light signal by driving into oncoming traffic;
while simultaneously violating traffic rules in a one-way lane.

Can I count on a discount? Look at the resolution, it definitely says yes or no.

Where can I check if there are fines?

Checking fines online is relevant, fast and convenient

You won’t have to search long for a suitable online service – there are a lot of them on the Internet. Among them, in fact, is the official website of the State Traffic Inspectorate https://gibdd.rf.

enter the car number and vehicle registration certificate number;
We request verification.

You have all the unpaid fines before you. Information on when, for what and whether the discount opportunity has expired is attached. Payment is also accepted here, the receipt is sent to your email.

Many services offer to set up a notification - this way you will immediately know about sanctions or be in complete peace of mind that there are no fines.

Is it possible to challenge?

Are you 100% sure that there was no violation? Then fight for justice and try to challenge the ruling. In practice, even high-tech cameras make mistakes. To avoid paying for them with your own money, submit an application within 10 days:

to the traffic police authority at the place of registration, when a fine is imposed for excess;
to court if the article that threatens the driver requires a court decision.

The inspector will tell you about the appeal procedure; the same information is presented in the decision sent by mail.

It is difficult to refute the fine, but there are chances. The more detailed the complaint is described, the more facts are attached, even if not confirmed by experts, the more photographs - the more likely your success.

All fines for speeding in 2019

The fine for speeding ranges from 500 to 5000 rubles.
For a significant excess, a driver's license may be deprived for a period of 4 months to 1 year. If you exceed the speed of up to 20 km/h, there is no fine. In the near future, it is possible to reduce this threshold to 10 km/h.

Exceeding the maximum permitted speed is the most common violation of traffic rules. There is a myth among drivers that it is allowed to exceed the speed limit by 20 km/h. This opinion is wrong. There is no fine for exceeding the speed limit by 20 km/h, but the rules prohibit exceeding the established speed limit.

After reading this article, you should not have any questions about the responsibility of drivers for exceeding the maximum speed. Detailed description, text of the law, tables, information about the 50% discount, features of automatic recording of violations and visual infographics.

Monetary fines for speeding violations

The size of the fine for speeding depends on the difference between the maximum permitted speed and the recorded speed. The extent to which this calculation method is correct can be discussed separately. For example, for exceeding the speed limit by 40 km/h in a residential area and on a highway, the fine is the same - 500 rubles. In a residential area alone, the excess is almost 3 times the legal limit and poses a significantly greater danger than a barely noticeable excess on the motorway. A little distracted, let's move directly to the size of traffic police fines. First, let's look at the usual monetary fines that are relevant for most drivers, which are issued by the traffic police officer directly at the scene of the violation.

Please note again that exceeding the maximum speed by 20 km/h is a violation of the Traffic Rules , for which there is no liability.

Revocation of license for speeding

Only a court can make a decision on deprivation of rights. Thus, if a driver faces the threat of being left without a driver’s license, he has the opportunity to resolve this issue with traffic police officers, either directly on the spot or later at the department. Traffic police officers are authorized to either issue a decree imposing a fine or refer the case to court.

The practice has developed that with conflict-free communication, drivers are issued an appropriate fine and do not go to trial.

Amount of fine for automatic speed control

Peculiarities of administrative liability when recording violations of traffic rules in automatic mode:

Only a monetary fine can be imposed;
The amount of the fine is the minimum possible.

These provisions are regulated by part 3.1 of article 4.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation

In the cases provided for in Part 3 of Article 28.6 of this Code, administrative punishment is imposed in the form of an administrative fine. In this case, the amount of the imposed administrative fine must be the smallest within the sanction of the applicable article or part of the article of the Special Part of this Code, and in cases where the sanction of the applied article or part of the article of the Special Part of this Code provides for administrative punishment in the form of deprivation of the right to drive vehicles or administrative arrest and there is no provision for administrative punishment in the form of an administrative fine, administrative punishment is imposed in the form of an administrative fine in the amount of five thousand rubles.

The table of fines for automatically recording violations looks more friendly to drivers.

If a violation is automatically recorded, a fine will be issued to the owner of the vehicle.

Law that regulates speeding fines

As with other traffic police fines, liability is established in Chapter 12 of the Code of Administrative Offences. Article 12.9 is devoted to speed limit violations

Article 12.9. Exceeding the set speed

Lost power.

How long does it take for a traffic violation to be considered a repeat violation?

The validity period of the first violation is 1 year from the date of entry into force of the resolution. This period is established by Article 4.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

A person who has been imposed an administrative penalty for committing an administrative offense is considered subject to this punishment from the date the decision on the imposition of an administrative penalty enters into legal force until the expiration of one year from the date of completion of the execution of this decision.

The resolution on an administrative offense comes into force:

within 10 days from the date of delivery or receipt of a copy (Article 30.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation);
after 10 days, if a complaint is filed with an official (part 1 of article 30.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation);
after 2 months, if the complaint is considered in court (part 1.1 of article 30.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation);
within 24 hours, in case of administrative arrest (part 3 of article 30.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

The first settlement day starts from the next day.

50% discount on speeding fines

Since 2015, a law has been in force that allows you to pay traffic police fines with a 50% discount if payment is made within 20 days from the date of the decision. The law provides exceptions for some gross violations of the Traffic Rules, including some fines for speeding.

Why you can’t exceed the speed limit even by the “non-penalty” 20 km/h

To begin with, let us remind you that for “extra” 20-40 km/h, motorists are fined 500 rubles, regardless of whether they violate the regime for the first, third or tenth time. Having exceeded the speed by 40-60 km/h, the driver loses 1000-1500 rubles (or 2000-2500, if repeated), and by 60-80 km/h - 2000-2500 “wooden” or his “rights”.

The most severe punishment is provided for those who, contrary to traffic rules and common sense, exceed the speed limit by 80 km/h or more. If they are “caught” by a camera, then they will be fined 5,000 rubles, and if they are caught by a traffic cop, then they will be deprived of their driver’s license.

Today there is no fine for exceeding 0-20 km/h in the Administrative Code. Obviously, this is why almost every driver does not consider it a violation. But in vain.

Few people remember that the “non-penalty” 20 km/h (or 10 km/h until 2013) was introduced solely to level the accuracy of the readings of automatic fixation systems. The speed limit cannot be ignored under any circumstances, as it is written in plain English in clause 10.1 of the traffic rules: “The driver must drive the vehicle at a speed not exceeding the established limit.”

Yes, neither an insidious camera nor a traffic police officer will punish a driver who takes advantage of the absence of fines in the Code of Administrative Offenses with a ruble for exceeding the speed limit by 0-20 km/h. However, if a driver with his “forbidden” numbers on the speedometer gets into an accident in which - God forbid - someone is seriously injured, then he will be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Behind the long ruble: how the traffic police cancels non-finable speeding by 20 km/h

Five deadly mistakes when overtaking on the highway

Let’s say a motorist hits a pedestrian who decides to cross the road at his own risk in the wrong place. It is clear that the driver will most likely still be found guilty, but if he strictly followed the traffic rules - in particular, at the time of the collision, the speed of his car did not “crawl” beyond the permitted mark - then the driver can hope for some leniency. When studying accident materials, law enforcement officers take into account all factors.

That is why it makes sense to look at the dashboard more often and calmly stop your obsessive desire to “drown” it a little. Agree - an additional 5-10 km/h, which will not significantly reduce travel time, is not worth it. And then for what?

Don’t forget that with every “extra” km/h the braking distance and reaction time inevitably increase - in an emergency, such a prank can play a very cruel joke on the driver.
