I received a fine for illegal parking, how to challenge it?

GKU "AMPP" notifies all car owners that the effect of Part 1.3 of Article 32.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (on payment of half the amount of the administrative fine) DOES NOT APPLY to fines imposed for committing offenses provided for in Part 2 of Article 8.14 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Moscow ("Non-payment for placement of a vehicle in a paid city parking lot"), and therefore such fines must be paid in full.

The possibility of paying half the amount of an administrative fine is provided only when paying a fine imposed for committing certain offenses provided for in Chapter 12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

The deadline for paying an administrative fine is sixty days from the date the decision to impose an administrative fine comes into force.

How to appeal a parking fine in 2019?

Traffic police officers may make mistakes. As a result, the car owner who did not violate the rules will receive a parking fine. If a citizen finds himself in a similar situation in 2019, he can appeal the decisions made. To do this, you will need to prepare a package of documents, draw up an application and contact the authorized body. You need to prove that you are right. If this decision does not satisfy the citizen, filing a claim in court is permissible.

Can I appeal a parking fine?

If a citizen does not agree with a parking fine, it can be challenged.

In 2019, the process is regulated by Art. 30.1 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. If the decision is made:

an official, the complaint must be sent to his manager, a higher official body or court;
by a collegial body, the papers are sent to the district court at the location of the institution that imposed the fine;
court, documents are submitted to a higher court;
by another body created in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation - to the district court at the place of consideration of the case.

For your information

It is recommended that you familiarize yourself in detail with the resolution imposing a fine for illegal parking. It is considered illegal if it is filled out with errors. Thus, the reason for declaring a document invalid is the incorrect indication of the time or place of the violation.

Law on appealing penalties for illegal parking

The procedure for imposing fines and challenging them is regulated by the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. The amount of the penalty and the procedure for its payment are reflected here. Experts advise familiarizing yourself with the following provisions of the above code:

Representatives of the traffic police and employees of a number of other authorized institutions have the right to impose a monetary penalty for incorrect parking. So, if we are talking about Moscow, in 2019, representatives of the State Administration of the AMPP can impose sanctions on the driver. They are in charge of the possibility of applying fines for unpaid parking. If the stop was carried out in violation, a monetary penalty will come from the Moscow Traffic Inspectorate.

When can I challenge a fine for illegal parking?

Citizens have the right to initiate a procedure to appeal a parking fine. Typically the action is performed if:

The citizen did not commit the violation of which he is accused. The argument can be used if the parking area is not marked with signs or markings. In this situation, it is difficult to understand whether it is possible to stop here.
There is an irreparable defect made when drawing up a resolution on an administrative offense. The reason can be cited if the car was in a different place at the time specified in the document. This fact will need to be proven.
An error was made when registering the violation. When drawing up decisions, a traffic police representative may provide false information. This automatically invalidates the document. However, an error that serves as a reason for canceling a decision should have an impact on the consideration of the case. If the inaccuracy does not change the content of the document, it can be corrected when considering the complaint (Article 29.12.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

How to find out who issued a parking ticket?

Initially, it is necessary to determine which authority imposed the monetary penalty. The further algorithm of actions depends on this. The procedure can be carried out by familiarizing yourself with the unique accrual indicator. This is a code that is reflected on the payment receipt. It can consist of 20 or 25 digits. Attention must be paid to the first numbers in the payment receipt. The fine came from:

In the example in the photo, the first numbers in the receipt for payment of a parking fine begin with 780, therefore the fine was issued by AMPP.

Appeal options

The appeal procedure is carried out in accordance with the provisions of Article 30.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. It indicates the authorities to which you need to contact. So, if the decision was made by an official, it is necessary to contact his management or a higher authority. It is permissible to go to court. The decision is made based on the results of consideration of the complaint.

You must apply at the place where the offense was committed (29.5 and 30.2 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation). It is recorded in the issued parking fine receipts. You will need to find out the street name and number of the nearest building next to which the illegal parking was made. Then you have to find the nearest magistrate's court or court of general jurisdiction to this place. From there, a statement of claim and a package of documents are provided.

If the final verdict does not suit the citizen, it can also be appealed. In this situation, an appeal to a higher judicial authority occurs.

The period for appealing a parking fine in 2019 is reflected in Article 30.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. The appeal can be sent within 10 days from the date of delivery of a copy of the resolution. If the deadline is missed, it can be restored. For this purpose, a petition is submitted. If a citizen is denied reinstatement of the term, an appropriate determination is presented.

Step-by-step instructions for challenging a parking fine in MADI

If a citizen does not agree with a fine issued for parking, first of all it is necessary to find out which organization imposed the monetary penalty. The government agency can be identified using the code on the receipt. Having realized that the fine was issued by MADI (If the numbers 782 are at the beginning. The rule is relevant for a 20-digit code. If it consists of 25 numbers, the combination 035604 will be at the beginning.). You need to proceed according to the following scheme:

Prepare evidence of innocence. Photographs confirming the absence of markings or signs indicating paid parking may be considered.
File a complaint. In its text it is necessary to describe the current situation in as much detail as possible, then provide evidence of innocence.
Submit the prepared package of documents to MADI. An alternative is to go to court at the place where the offense was committed. Submission of documentation is carried out by mail, during a personal visit to the authorized body or via the Internet.
Check acceptance of the application. It must be entered into the journal of incoming documents. The citizen is then informed of the complaint number.
Wait for the application to be reviewed. The answer must be provided in writing.

Step-by-step instructions for appealing a parking fine at the AMPP

If a parking fine was issued by AMPP (AMPP, if a two-digit combination begins with 780, when we are talking about a 25-digit code, the numbers 0355 will appear first), the appeal procedure remains standard. You will need to prepare an evidence base, draw up an application and send it to the authorized body for consideration. It is important to ensure compliance with the deadlines for consideration of the application.

Practice shows that representatives of the authorities do not always answer calls and often miss the period during which they are required to respond. Article 30.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation states that a complaint against a decision on an administrative offense must be considered within 10 days from the date of receipt by the authorized body or official who has the right to consider the document.

Step-by-step instructions for appealing a parking fine to the traffic police

Contacting the traffic police also requires preparing an evidence base and filing a complaint. Only its shape differs. It is not enshrined in current legislation. However, in practice, office work norms have been formed, in accordance with which information is entered into the documentation. The main differences are hidden in the header of the complaint about a fine for illegal parking. In 2019 it indicates:

information about the person or body to whom the application is sent;
information about a citizen who wishes to challenge a parking fine;
information for prompt communication with the applicant.

You can appeal the decision to the traffic police on purely formal grounds. Thus, in the process of drawing up the resolution, a violation may be committed.

Download a sample complaint about a parking fine at the traffic police in WORD format.

There is an opinion that the signature in the protocol is the car owner’s consent to the violation. The statement is incorrect. The citizen’s signature confirms familiarization with the contents of the paper. The exception is situations when the document contains an inscription with a violation of “I agree”. If there is no registration, you can safely sign the protocol. However, in the line explaining the violator, it is recommended to present your arguments. You can object to unlawful actions on the part of the traffic police inspector. If it was not possible to challenge the fine in the state traffic police, it is permissible to start a trial.

When should you go to court?

Article 30.1 states that a decision made by an official can be appealed by sending documents to a higher authority or district court at the place of consideration of the case. This means you can file a claim right away. Usually, the authority is contacted if filing a complaint to a higher official has not brought any benefit.

Required documents for appeal

In order for the court to agree to consider the complaint, you will need to prepare a package of documents. The list will include:

Complaint form. It is necessary to describe in detail the features of the current situation.
Resolution. A copy is required. It is removed from both sides in documents.
Proof of the truth. This may be the result of photo and video filming, as well as other documents confirming the citizen’s position.

IMPORTANT

It is necessary to contact the authorized body within 10 days from the date of receipt of the decision. If the period is missed, the application is supplemented with a petition.

Step-by-step instructions for appealing a parking fine in court

In accordance with paragraph 30 of the resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated March 24, 2005 No. 5, you must contact the authorized body located at the place where the offense was committed. The application must be completed correctly. If there are no errors, the documents will be accepted. Then a date and time for the meeting are set. It is important to come to it without delay, having a complete package of documentation with you.

During the proceedings, the citizen will have to explain the complaints to the court and provide evidence. It is permissible to object to the opponents' statement. A citizen has the right to petition for the addition of additional papers to the case or interview witnesses. Typically, proceedings in cases of this type proceed quickly. Then a decision is made. It could be as follows:

cancellation of monetary penalty;
partial adjustment of the previously adopted penalty for illegal parking;
refusal to satisfy the complaint;
postponement of the meeting due to a number of circumstances.

Once a decision has been made, you will need to obtain a copy of it. To do this, you need to contact the court office. If you are not satisfied with the verdict, you will need to challenge it. To do this, the complaint is sent to a higher authority. The judge who made the decision will notify the citizen of the possibility of appeal.

Parking fines in 2019

The amount of the fine for illegal parking may vary depending on the location of the stop. In 2019, the amount of the penalty varies from 1,000 rubles to 5,000 rubles.

How to appeal a fine for illegal parking?

Traffic police officers are not always objective when issuing a decision on violation of parking rules. Sometimes their actions contradict the laws of the Russian Federation.

What to do if you always park in the designated places, but you receive a fine?

It can be appealed. If you are ready to prove your innocence, then victory will be yours.

Let's find out the procedure for appealing a parking fine.

Deadlines for filing a complaint

You need to appeal the fine as soon as possible . The appeal period is 10 days from the date of receipt of the decision. The order is usually served after the case has been considered.

If the violation was recorded using an automatic recording camera, the period is counted from the moment the decision was received.

How to challenge a parking fine if the appeal period has passed? Submit your complaint along with an application to restore the deadline for appeal.

You must provide evidence that you missed the deadline for a valid reason (document for a business trip or vacation, sick leave).

Indicate the name of the body to which the document is submitted, the date, number of the resolution, arguments that prove the wrongfulness of the charges.

Video: How to challenge a parking fine

Consideration

The complaint is considered within 10 days . But the decision made on the complaint is not final. The inspector's decision can be challenged in the traffic police and in court.

However, the inspection considers the case without the participation of the driver, and it is not possible to provide additional evidence to the motorist (witness testimony, video materials).

For this reason, most of the rulings remain in force. You can immediately go to court.

The courts consider the complaint at the place where the offense was committed . You can find out which district court a specific address belongs to on the Justice website: https://sudrf.ru/.

The complaint is considered within two months from the moment the case materials are received by the judge. The judge must consider the case from the very beginning, without taking into account the conclusion of the traffic police or the lower court.

When appealing an administrative penalty, it is necessary to indicate procedural violations committed at the initial stage of consideration of the case: improper notification of the citizen about the consideration of the case, refusal to attach evidence to the materials of the case, and other violations.

If new evidence appears, it must be added to the complaint.

If there are eyewitnesses to the incident, they need to be recorded . Sometimes the inspector prohibits the entry of witnesses into the column that is intended for this, justifying this by the fact that only a police officer can write here. This is an illegal ban.

Signature in the protocol

There is an opinion that the signature in the protocol is the car owner’s consent to the violation.

No. The signature confirms that the driver has read the contents of the document, received a copy of it, and the data is correct, except in cases where the document states “I agree with the violation.”

If there is no such entry, and you do not agree with the fine, sign the protocol, but in the line “explanation of the violator” describe your arguments. You can indicate your objections to the issue of unlawful actions of the traffic police inspector.

If the court makes a decision not in your favor, contact a higher court with a complaint . But your rightness must be supported by undeniable evidence, otherwise the whole procedure is a waste of time and nerves.

Payment of fines

On the Moscow Parking portal you can always read the memo http://parking.mos.ru/about/134/ about fines.

Payment of the fine within 20 days entitles you to a 50% discount on the amount for the violation . But this rule does not apply to all offences. Does not apply to fines for unpaid parking.

The fine must be paid within 60 days. If the payment is late, the driver faces a doubling of the cost of the fine, administrative arrest, seizure of funds, property, and may be prohibited from traveling abroad.

The fine for non-payment of parking is paid by:

in any bank;
through the Moscow Parking mobile application.

Other traffic police fines are paid by:

Online appeal, receiving complaints

You can remotely appeal a fine in Moscow in 2019 through the following services:

Reception of complaints:

You can subscribe to SMS notifications about fines by dialing number 7377, text “sts_fine_Series STS Number STS”. Also, all questions regarding fines (except for the status of the complaint consideration) can be directed to the Unified Contact Center, number 8 (495) 539-54-54.

Let's look at how to challenge the towing of a car for illegal parking online.

The Autocode portal has published an interactive diagram that helps you challenge fines.

You need to register or log in, find the “Appeals” section. The number of the resolution is entered, then it is automatically determined which organization issued the fine: MADI or AMPP. The reason for the incorrectness of the fine is selected from the ready-made menu .

A motorist who has stopped the car due to the inability to drive it further due to health problems or a technical malfunction of the vehicle can challenge fines for parking in the wrong place.

You need to select “Forced stop” . The system will tell you what documents will be needed to appeal the fine: usually this is a complaint against the decision, scanned copies of the protocol, a certificate of hospitalization or illness, or evacuation of the car to a service center.

If parking has been paid for, scanned copies of the check or receipt are attached, and a screenshot of the SMS about payment is also acceptable.

Here you can download a form, which will already contain complete information about you. It must be printed, scanned, and attached to other documents.

The complaint is also submitted within 10 working days from the date of receipt of the decision . It takes the same amount of time to be considered. If the application period has come to an end, you can extend it.

Write a petition, in the header indicate the name of the head of MADI or AMPPP, it is also attached through the portal. A valid reason is also required.

Grounds for extending the deadline for appeal:

hospitalization, illness (documents must be provided);
improper operation of postal services and others.

How to appeal a fine for unpaid parking in court?

Making a complaint

The header of the document contains the driver’s details (full name, address, phone number, email) . The text indicates the date of the resolution and the number.

The reasons why the resolution can be considered illegal are described (You paid for parking, but the payment was completed within 15 minutes).

These resolutions are being introduced again . Documents are attached (a printout from the mobile operator, a scan of an SMS indicating the exact time the message was sent). Date and signature are added .

The complaint is transferred to the State Public Institution "AMPP". If the decision is not made in your favor, go to court with a complaint and the same package of documents, to which you will need to add the decision of the State Public Institution "AMPP" on your issue.

If there was no prohibiting sign, you must provide proof that you parked correctly. Taking photos or videos will help with this.

Then you will be able to prove that there were no road signs in this place, and all the accusations brought against you are unfounded.

If there was a sign, but you didn’t see it, also present a video or photograph, catching the correct angle . The sign may be hidden behind tree branches, with poor visibility. These nuances must be described in the application.

Attach documents:

copies of the resolution;
complaint;
a petition in which you ask to restore the appeal period (if it has expired);
take photographs, attach the recorder's recording and witness statements.

In what cases should they not be fined?

If you need to stop urgently, you can turn on your hazard lights and put up a sign. You are not violating traffic rules if you stop for a couple of minutes to disembark a passenger in the wrong place.

If the motorist remains in the car, he does not have to pay a fine.

Wrong parking

Is it possible to challenge a parking fine if I paid for another one?

There is a situation in which the wrong parking is paid for - the car number is entered incorrectly into the SMS/parking meter, and a fine is received for this, since the required parking was not paid for.

Typically, many judges refuse in such situations . But it's worth a try.

The complaint must be submitted to the State Public Institution "AMPP", preferably through the website http://transport.mos.ru/#!/page/info/treatment/. The complaint must be filled out correctly, printed, and signed.

Scanned copies of supporting documents are attached. If you decide to contact the organization in person, make two copies. You hand over one, ask for a registration mark on the second and keep it for yourself.

After 10 days, there is a high probability that a refusal will come . We need to go to court. They also choose the court at the place where the violation was committed. The same documents and the decision of the State Public Institution “AMPP” are attached in two copies.

We must not forget that a mark on the copies regarding registration of incoming correspondence is required. If an employee loses documents, you will prove that you handed over the documents.

It is better to appear at the meeting in person . If the same decision is made, you should go to the Moscow City Court. The complaint states that the court refused; demand that the court decision be cancelled. The decision is attached along with other documents.

If you receive a fine for illegal parking, but you are sure that you did not violate the law, you can challenge it.

This is a rather labor-intensive procedure, especially when both the traffic police and the court refuse a decision that is favorable to you. You can appeal to the Moscow City Court, but by this time many drivers are already losing patience and leaving everything as it is.

Where and how to challenge a fine from the AMPP, MADI and the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate for parking in Moscow?

The fines that can be issued to car owners are significant amounts. In addition to federal ones, there are also local regulations, violation of which leads to the need to fork out money. The larger the city, the more difficult the situation on the roads, the more rules and, accordingly, the more violations and fines.

In this sense, Moscow is the apotheosis of traffic impassability. A special place is occupied by fines for parking - for incorrect or non-payment. The amounts are considerable. Receipt recipients are confusing. Often fines are issued illegally. They may be disputed! How, to whom and on what basis to file a complaint about a parking fine will be discussed below.

Grounds for fine

Before we move on to the methods of appealing penalties, we need to understand for which parking cases they can be applied.

From the point of view of federal and Moscow legislation, there are two such grounds:

Wrong parking. Stopping and/or parking in the wrong place.
Unpaid parking. Stopping and/or parking in a specially equipped place, but without fulfilling all the necessary conditions (in this case, without paying for parking services).

In this case, a fine can be issued either directly by a representative of supervisory organizations or through an automatic system for recording violations. The difficulty is that there are three organizations independent from each other, and for one offense a fine can be issued by different structures - it must be appealed directly to the institution that issued the resolution .

Where to file a complaint if you don’t agree?

What organizations can issue a fine? There are three of them in Moscow:

“Administrator of the Moscow parking space” - the abbreviation AMPP (or GUK AMPP) is more often used. The only organization dealing with unpaid parking .
“Moscow Administrative Road Inspectorate” - MADI (not to be confused with a university that has a similar abbreviation). One of the institutions that imposes fines for illegal parking .
Traffic police - this abbreviation hardly requires decoding. However, this unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can also issue a fine for violating parking rules .

It is important to know the institution that issued the fine for the upcoming challenge. In order for the request to be considered within the time limits established by law, it must be sent to the exact address of this organization.

Accordingly, the main question is how to determine which institution issued the fine? The easiest way is by UIN number - a unique digital identifier assigned to each fine . You can view it on the administrative violation resolution or receipt. Just look at the first digits of this long number and compare the data with the table:

The exact address details of each institution and methods for filing complaints will be discussed below.

Is it possible to refute? Grounds for appeal

There are many reasons not to pay or to challenge an already paid fine. We will consider only the main ones, but a professional auto lawyer will be able to analyze the situation in detail, and, perhaps, find others or a combination of them.

The most common reasons for appealing parking fines are:

The paid parking zone is not designated (incorrectly designated), but a fine has been received for non-payment.
The address for committing illegal actions is incorrect.
The parameters shown are not your machine.

Each of these grounds occurs quite often. However, if the second and third points represent a technical error of the controlling organizations or their equipment, then with the first point everything is more complicated. But more interesting.

Paid parking must be marked with a whole complex of road signs and markings. The shortage of one component provides grounds for legal refusal to pay. At the same time, only a specialized lawyer can know the entire set of norms regulated by legislation at various levels. You can ask your questions on this topic to lawyers for free through this form:

Join our community on Telegram, VKontakte and Facebook. Our experts conduct surveys there and publish important news

The fact of incomplete registration of a paid parking zone does not exclude the imposition of a fine. Most likely, you will have to dispute it after receiving it. Accordingly, if you are sure that there is no need to pay, it is better to take care of supporting facts in advance - photo and video materials.

How to appeal a parking fine in Moscow?

The first thing is to find out if there is a fine. The standard method is to wait for the ruling by mail. However, failures may occur at every stage of the shipment, and notification may not arrive in a timely manner. Therefore, it is recommended to insure yourself and check whether there is a fine.

How to find out about a fine?

There are several ways to find out if there is a violation order:

Via SMS to number 7377 (free). Send the text “fine Series and Vehicle Certificate Number” (without quotes, for example: fine 77aya654321 ). An alternative is the text with the driver’s license number: “fine Series and VU Number” (also without quotes, for example: fine 77ff654321 ).
Through a special service on the portal of the Moscow City Hall.
Using the topic search from the traffic police.
Through a specialized mobile application.

More information about ways to clarify the presence of fines can be found here.

Internet access can be made through the Autocode or MOS.RU services.

The list of documents is similar: complaint, resolution, receipts, plus others related to the incident.

How to appeal a decision in the traffic police?

An application to appeal a traffic police fine must be submitted in person or by mail. The addressee is the unit that issued the fine. The deadlines are the same - 10 days from the date of receipt/delivery.

You can find out the contact details of the Moscow traffic police departments on this page. There is currently no option to file a complaint online.

Procedure for considering a complaint about illegal parking

The consideration of an application to challenge a parking fine in all three organizations follows a roughly general pattern:

The application must be submitted within 10 days (or apply for an extension).
The review should take no more than 10 days from the date of receipt of the complaint.
Within the next 3 days, a notification of the decision must be sent to the applicant.

In some cases, the traffic police reserves the right to increase the inspection period if justified reasons arise.

Refund

If a fine has already been paid under the contested decision, it is necessary to submit a corresponding application to the organization that received the money. Forms can be obtained here:

In addition to the application, the following are provided:

Account number for refund.
Copy of passport (if visiting in person, the original is provided).
Payments confirming the fact of payment of the fine.
Copies of the decision to cancel the decision to impose a fine.

Documents are submitted to the above addresses, but there is also the possibility of an online request. To do this, you need to go to this page of the MOS.RU website service, fill out all the fields of the form that opens and upload scanned copies of the necessary documents.

Challenging in court

You can resort to legal proceedings as an alternative method to the above (that is, without contacting the AMPP, MADI or traffic police - directly to the court) or after receiving a negative decision on your request to these organizations.

Since it is faster and more convenient to decide directly through the AMPP, traffic police or MADI, resorting to legal proceedings is recommended in cases of negative answers.

In general, judicial procedures follow the following scheme:

The claim is filed in court at the place of the incident. Please note that it is at the location of the incident , and not at the location of the organization that issued the fine. There is a clear explanation on this matter in the resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation (No. 5 of March 24, 2005).
A statement of claim is drawn up, which clearly states the objections and facts.
Documents and information related to the incident are attached to the claim.
Judicial proceedings are ongoing.

Of course, it is easy to describe judicial procedures in a few words, but in reality everything is much more complicated, and largely depends on the circumstances. Therefore, the right decision would be to contact specialized lawyers who will help you not only draw up an application and collect documents, but also represent you in court and conduct the entire process.

In the dense flow of Moscow traffic, getting a fine is not difficult. As practice shows, the number of incorrectly drawn up or erroneously issued decisions is quite large. If you want to humbly pay for the sins of others, that’s your right. But if you decide to protect your funds, now you know on what grounds and how this can be done.

It is, of course, possible to resolve issues on your own. However, the assistance of professional defenders is in many cases the most effective.

A lawyer's services cost more than a parking fine, what is the point of an appeal. After all, it’s easier and, most importantly, cheaper to simply pay an unlawful fine.

Denis, your right to use the services of lawyers or not. And situations really are different. For example, during a trial, it is sometimes possible to compensate all the plaintiff’s costs, incl. and a lawyer. But, again, each case is individual.

Yulia, if you have documentary evidence of payment made on time, then they must be presented in court. It is better to contact a lawyer to work out a strategy together. In some cases, you may be able to request some compensation. But we need to understand the details.

Appealing a parking fine in Moscow

Many Moscow motorists have encountered situations where a parking fine was dubious and ambiguous. Sometimes a fine can be imposed on completely ridiculous grounds. But few people know what to do in such cases and whether it is worth appealing. Given the Moscow traffic, unfounded accusations may constantly be made. And the fines for illegal parking in Moscow today are quite considerable. For the average person, an appeal ends in a useless trip to the traffic police.

If you approach this process more preparedly, then getting a satisfactory result in appealing a parking fine in Moscow will not be difficult.

Normative base

One of those cases when parking is considered illegal is a violation of the rules of stopping and parking in accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation N 1090, paragraph 12. The fine for violating them in Moscow ranges from 2.5 to 5 thousand rubles. Article 20.25 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation provides for arrest for up to 15 days for failure to pay a fine. It is worth noting that such punishment is provided only for evasion of payment, but not in cases where the driver had a good reason.

Illegal parking is considered if it is done in the wrong place or is not paid for. In all other cases, the motorist will be right and it makes sense to appeal the charge. Judicial practice shows that in most cases, law-abiding motorists manage to restore justice and get a positive decision.

How to challenge a parking fine?

There are a number of conditions for appealing charges for illegal parking by a car owner in Moscow. This must be done as quickly as possible. You can challenge the fine within 10 days from the date of delivery of the decision.

It is worth remembering that a resolution in Moscow can be issued not only by a traffic police inspector, but also by the MADI service, as well as the AMPP.

To understand who issued the parking fine in Moscow, it is enough to check the first digits of the UNN number, which will be indicated in the document:

188 – traffic police
035604 or 782 – MADI
0355 or 780 – AMPP (in this case, the 50% discount on the fine will not apply)

If the driver does not have time to appeal the violation within 10 days, he will have to write a petition to restore the deadline and this will take much longer.

If you are not satisfied with the decision to challenge a fine in Moscow by one of these services, you can go to court and achieve a result there.

In which courts can a decision be challenged?

Before you start appealing a parking fine, you need to check whether the appeal period has passed. In accordance with Article 30.3 of the Administrative Code, it is 10 days.
If the appeal period has expired, you need to write a petition to restore this period. Please note that this petition can only be submitted if there is a valid reason for missing the allotted time.
To proceed directly to the dispute, you next need to fill out a complaint form. It contains the applicant’s details and his explanations.
It will not hurt to have evidence of your innocence: screenshots of SMS, payment transactions, checks, copies of the decision and payment receipt. They are attached to the complaint as attachments.
After this, you can send the collected materials to the above authorities.

There is nothing difficult in filling out the complaint form:

In the header you must indicate personal information and contact information.
Below is the date, number of the order and who issued it.
Next, you need to describe the reason for appealing a parking fine in Moscow. Here you can write everything in detail and in your own words, the main thing is that the reasons are convincing.
The current date and signature are placed at the bottom.

After reviewing the document, a trial will be scheduled. The complainant will be notified of this through the contacts specified in the complaint form. This could be a phone number or email and postal address.

In most cases, only the applicant and the judge who will make the decision are present in court . You can take witnesses with you, and also, according to the constitution, Article 48 Part 2, you have the right to a lawyer to defend your interests. First, the judge will read out information about the decision and the appeal, and then give the floor to the applicant. You need to tell it in detail, in your own words. Give your arguments of innocence. It is very important that they do not differ from those indicated in the complaint form. Often, differences in testimony make the judge suspicious. After you have been heard, the judge may ask a number of additional questions. You only need to answer the truth. Firstly, it will be easier for you, and secondly, providing false information in court is punishable. Afterwards the judge will announce his decision. The entire process usually takes no more than 20 minutes.

If the result is positive, the fine for illegal parking in Moscow will be canceled and you will be issued a corresponding court order. If the court does not accept the complaint, it will issue another order with a receipt, which will indicate that the sanctions were issued legally.

In this case, the parking fine will need to be paid within 60 calendar days. Otherwise, additional penalties may be imposed:

It is worth noting that if the court found the punishment for parking legal, then it is better to stop the appeal, since this almost never leads to a positive result. It is advisable to pay the fine as quickly as possible. After all, for 20 days there is a 50% discount on it if it is issued by the traffic police or MADI. The discount does not apply to AMPP fines in Moscow.

What fines may there be for non-compliance with parking rules in Moscow:

How to challenge a parking fine in Moscow online?

Of course, the easiest way to appeal the ruling, which most Moscow motorists turn to, is via the Internet. Today, any receipt can be appealed in this way in just a few minutes. If the fine was issued by a traffic police inspector, this can be done on the service’s website a style=”color: #4d0099;” href=”http://www.gibdd.ru/”>gibdd.ru in the “Services – receiving requests” section.

In the “Purpose of sending the appeal” , you need to indicate the “complaint” item.

Next, you need to fill out a simple form with your personal information and how you would like to receive a response. In the text of the appeal, describe in detail the situation that occurred and the evidence of your innocence. It is recommended to enter as complete information as possible; you can additionally use the usual complaint form. If the result is positive, you will receive a corresponding letter containing information about further actions and cancellation of the fine. You may also be asked for some clarification if the information provided is not complete.

If the decision on the violation was submitted by the AMPP or MADI services, then you should appeal it on the Avtokod website (avtokod.mos.ru) in the section “New services - appeal a fine for unpaid parking.”

In this case, it will be even easier to challenge a parking fine in Moscow. The process is carried out step by step with the necessary instructions:

First you need to enter the resolution number. The system will automatically determine which service it was issued by.
Next, you need to select the reason why you consider this parking fine to be illegal or erroneous. It is worth noting that there is even a “forced stop” clause if, for example, the driver suddenly develops health problems.
Next, the driver will be presented with a list of documents that must be attached to prove his innocence.
You will also receive the answer online.

How to challenge a fine for parking in the wrong place?

First of all, you need to make sure that there are the above grounds for serving a decision on illegal parking in Moscow. If in doubt, you can familiarize yourself with the relevant GOSTs and traffic rules. Sometimes a fine can be issued even for parking closer than 15 meters from the intersection, or lack of visibility 100 meters. But the driver has the right to appeal in any case. You can challenge a parking fine in Moscow online, by mail or during a personal visit to the traffic police. You can also go directly to court and challenge the decision there. Once a complaint has been submitted, it must be reviewed by the appropriate official. Then, within 10 days, a decision on the appeal must be made. If you go to court, the complaint will be considered within 2 months. The procedure for challenging a fine for parking on a lawn in Moscow is similar.

Sometimes drivers simply do not know about the availability of paid parking in a certain place in Moscow. In order to collect a fine from the car owner for unpaid parking, the parking place must be marked with signs 6.4 “parking” and 8.8 “paid services”. If at least one of these signs is missing, you can safely write about it in a complaint and refer to the fact that you did not know about the presence of paid parking in this place. Also, the paid parking area must be marked with markings. If the car was outside it, then such a fine will also be considered illegal.

It is important to be more careful when filling out each document. For example, you should not write about vehicle problems as reasons for parking. In this case, according to traffic regulations, the driver must display an “emergency stop” sign and turn on the hazard warning lights. The fact is that you may receive additional fines for neglecting these procedures. According to Article 12.27 Part 1 of the Administrative Code, the amount of such a fine is 1000 rubles.

What should I do if I pay for someone else's parking?

Quite often, situations arise when a driver mistakenly pays for parking that is not his own or makes a mistake when entering a number. Such mistakes, of course, lead to fines for unpaid parking. No matter how strange it may sound, many departments refuse to appeal in such a situation. But this applies only to AMPP and MADI. When going to court recently, in most cases, drivers receive satisfactory decisions.

Most often, positive decisions are made by judges of the Basmanny, Khamovnichesky and Tverskoy courts, so it is best to file a complaint in case of someone else’s parking there.

How can a disabled person appeal a parking fine in Moscow?

Often, traffic police inspectors are skeptical about cars parked in spaces for disabled people and sometimes make mistakes when presenting a report. Only disabled people of groups 1 and 2 have the right to stay in specially designated places if they have the appropriate documents. Also, a “disabled person” identification sign must be installed on the rear of the car. This rule also applies to drivers accompanying disabled people, which also often leads to erroneous fines. To appeal an unfounded fine, you can also go to court, or to the traffic police, MADI or AMPP.

If you are not sure that a parking fine in Moscow was issued on completely legal grounds, then you need to appeal it in any case. After all, this does not take much time, and given the current amounts of fines, it can save a lot of money. Moreover, if your complaint is accepted, you will also be reimbursed for evacuation, if any.

Start collecting the necessary papers for an appeal as soon as possible. After all, after the 10-day appeal period has expired, it is not always possible to submit a petition for its restoration. The fact is that the driver must have a good reason for this. These include:

Illness or hospitalization.
Lengthy delivery times for letters, mail malfunctions.

In order to confirm one of these points, it is necessary to make copies of a medical certificate or other supporting documents. Also in the petition you will need to write why you need to restore the deadline for appealing a parking fine in Moscow.
