Deadline for paying an administrative fine for traffic violations

Deadline for paying traffic police fines in 2019

Good afternoon, dear reader.

This article will discuss the deadlines associated with paying traffic police fines:

Time limit for consideration of a violation case

First of all, let’s look at the time frame allotted for the consideration of a case of an administrative offense. The fact is that the decision to impose a fine is not always made on the same day when the driver committed the violation. Namely, taking into account the moment the decision is made, all other deadlines should be calculated.

Let us turn to Article 29.6 of the Administrative Code:

1. A case of an administrative offense is considered within fifteen days from the date of receipt by the body, official authorized to consider the case, of the protocol on the administrative offense and other materials of the case or materials obtained using special technical means operating in automatic mode, having the functions of photography and filming , video recording, or means of photography, filming, and video recording.

1.1. A case of an administrative offense is considered within two months from the date the judge competent to consider the case receives the protocol on the administrative offense and other materials of the case.

2. If petitions are received from participants in the proceedings in a case of an administrative offense or if it is necessary to further clarify the circumstances of the case, the period for consideration of the case may be extended by the judge, body, or official considering the case, but not more than by one month . The judge, body, official considering the case shall issue a reasoned ruling on the extension of the specified period.

Thus, if the case is considered by the traffic police, the decision must be made within 15 days .

If the case is heard by a judge, the fine must be imposed within 2 months .

Each of the above terms can be extended, but not more than 1 month.

Example. Andrey committed a speeding violation on February 15, 2019. The violation was recorded by a camera operating in automatic mode.

Information from the camera was received by a traffic police officer on February 18, 2019. In this case, the employee has 15 days to consider the case.

That is, the decision must be issued before March 5, 2019.

Deadline for appealing the decision

After the decision to impose a fine has been issued, the driver has the right to appeal the fine. Article 30.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses:

1. 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.

10 days to appeal from the date of receipt of a copy of the decision.

Example. The ruling in Andrey’s case was made on March 5, 2019. A copy of the document was sent by mail and Andrey received it on March 12, 2019. That is, this decision can be appealed until March 22, 2019.

Only after 10 days have passed for appeal, the decision comes into force.

Deadline for paying traffic police fines in 2020

The deadline for paying a fine for an administrative offense is regulated by Article 32.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses:

1. An administrative fine must be paid in full by a person held administratively liable no later than sixty days from the date of entry into force of the decision to impose an administrative fine, except for the cases provided for in parts 1.1, 1.3 and 1.4 of this article, or from the date expiration of the deferment period or installment plan period provided for in Article 31.5 of this Code.

That is, 60 days .

Note. This period begins to count only 10 days after the driver receives a copy of the decision to impose a fine.

Example. The deadline for appealing in Andrey’s case expires on March 22, 2019, which means you can pay the fine in this case until May 21, 2019.

Deadline for payment of fines with discount

Also in 2019 and 2020, legislation provides the driver with the opportunity to pay fines with a 50 percent discount. Let us turn to Article 32.2 of the Administrative Code:

1.3. When an administrative fine is paid by a person held administratively liable for committing an administrative offense provided for in Chapter 12 of this Code, with the exception of administrative offenses provided for in Part 1.1 of Article 12.1, Article 12.8, Parts 6 and 7 of Article 12.9, Part 3 of Article 12.12, Part 5 of the Article 12.15, part 3.1 of article 12.16, articles 12.24, 12.26, part 3 of article 12.27 of this Code, no later than twenty days from the date of the decision to impose an administrative fine, an administrative fine may be paid in the amount of half the amount of the imposed administrative fine.

That is, the driver is given 20 days .

Please note that 20 days are counted not from the moment the driver receives the decision, but from the moment this decision is issued by the traffic police officers.

Example. The decision in Andrei’s case was made on March 5, 2019, that is, the deadline for paying the fine with a discount expires on March 25, 2019.

Let me remind you that the resolution reached Andrey only on March 12, that is, he only had 13 days left to use the discount.

Note. Not all fines can be paid at a discount.

Deadline for transferring fines to bailiffs

If the driver does not pay the fine within the established period, the case is transferred to the bailiff. Article 32.2 of the Administrative Code:

5. In the absence of a document confirming the payment of an administrative fine, and information about the payment of an administrative fine in the State Information System on state and municipal payments after the expiration of the period specified in part 1, 1.1 or 1.4 of this article, the judge, body, official who issued resolution, prepare a second copy of the said resolution and send it within ten days , and in cases provided for in parts 1.1 and 1.4 of this article, within one day to the bailiff for execution in the manner prescribed by federal legislation.

In this case, the decision is submitted to the bailiff within 10 days .

Example. If Andrey does not pay the fine by May 21, 2019, then the case must be transferred to the bailiffs by May 31.

Thus, bailiffs will begin to deal with the defaulter of the fine only 80 days after receiving the fine (10 for appeal, 60 for payment, 10 for transfer of information).

In addition, for failure to pay the fine, another fine of double size is imposed.

Statute of limitations for fines

There is another deadline associated with paying traffic fines. This is the statute of limitations, which is regulated by Article 31.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses:

1. A resolution on the imposition of an administrative penalty is not subject to execution if this resolution has not been enforced within two years from the date of its entry into legal force.

That is, bailiffs and traffic police officers will stop dealing with fines 2 years from the date the resolution comes into force.

Example. Andrey's resolution came into force on March 22, 2019. Moreover, if the fine is not paid voluntarily or forcibly collected by March 22, 2021, then the case will be closed.

Validity and payment of traffic police fines in 2019 2020

The order to pay a fine from the traffic police, like any other document, has its own deadline.

In this article we will dwell in detail on the following issues:

Statute of limitations for unpaid traffic fines in 2019;
The deadline for paying the fine, where the duration was last changed on 05/09/2013.

It should be noted that the new amendment to the Code of Administrative Offenses turned out to be more friendly to car drivers, since the deadline for paying penalties for traffic violations has been increased.

In addition, the period for transmitting information about unpaid administrative fines to bailiffs is increasing.

Deadline for paying traffic police fines in 2019

The change in the Code of Administrative Offenses affected such an issue as the deadline for paying a traffic police fine:

It is important to remember that this period begins to count only 10 days after the driver receives a traffic police fine. In this case, the driver is given a 10-day period to appeal the actions of the traffic police representative.

So, starting from 05/09/2013, the deadline within which the driver must pay penalties is 70 days after the decision, whereas before 05/09/2013. it was only 40 days.

When are fines handed over to bailiffs?

Changes in legislation that occurred on 05/09/2013 also include the period for which information about unpaid fines is transferred to bailiffs:

Now this period has been increased to 10 days:

Consequently, bailiffs begin to deal with a driver who has not paid the administrative fine only after 80 days.

This period is distributed as follows:

10 days - period for appeal;
60 days - allotted for payment;
10 days – to transfer information to bailiffs in case of non-payment.

Let us note that until 05/09/2013, this entire period was significantly shorter and amounted to a total of 43 days.

It is important to understand that before the end of the period allotted for payment, you must pay the fine. This will allow you to avoid proceedings with bailiffs, who will demand double payment as punishment for failure to pay a fine.

Validity period of an administrative fine for violating traffic rules

Art. 31.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses regulates the statute of limitations for traffic police fines:

Please note that if no one looked for the driver or demanded that he pay penalties for 2 years, then after this period no one has the right to demand this in the future.

This case should not be confused with a situation where the bailiffs were looking for the driver, but he was hiding from them in every possible way. In this case (the bailiffs have been searching for the fine for a year and a half, but he is hiding and evading payment), when the bailiffs do find the debtor driver, they will add 1 more to the two years, after which he cannot be held accountable, 5 years.

How to calculate the statute of limitations for traffic police fines

As stated above, the countdown of the period begins only 10 days after the driver receives the decree. In this case, the driver is given 10 days to appeal.

This means that if the driver has not paid the fine within a period of 2 years + 10 days, then after this period, it is no longer possible to collect penalties from him under this resolution.

As an example, let's look at this case:

Let's say that today is December 30, 2016. We will set a date before which administrative fines cannot be collected from the driver for traffic violations. To do this, subtract the period of 2 years + 10 days from the current date. Simple calculations show that traffic violations committed by the driver before December 19, 2014. and was fined for them, now you don’t have to pay. Moreover, all fines that were issued to the driver after December 19, 2014. must be paid.

Separately, it is worth noting that if the driver appealed the fine in court, then the 2-year period begins to be calculated only after such a decision enters into legal force (after the court hearing + time for appeal).

Video recording cameras: how long do traffic police fines last?

In recent years, cameras that produce photo and video recording have become widely popular on the country's roads. They are installed almost everywhere, especially in large cities.

In comparison with the periods for reviewing and appealing fines received by the driver from a traffic police inspector or in court, the statute of limitations for traffic police video recording fines is similar.

Thus, the period of validity and repayment of traffic police fines is 60 days.

What responsibility awaits the driver for failure to meet deadlines?

We talked earlier about how long it takes to pay a fine for violating traffic rules. The question that deserves special attention is what awaits the driver in case of failure to pay on time?

In this case, the following sanctions are provided for violators by law:

Imposition of a fine of 2 times the amount (however, not less than 1000 rubles);
Up to 15 days of administrative arrest;
Up to 50 hours of compulsory work.

The question of exactly what responsibility the driver will bear for evading payment of a fine will be decided in court. At the same time, it is worth remembering that a type of punishment such as arrest cannot be applied to violators if their violation was recorded by video and photographic means (Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, part 3, note to Article 20.25).

And if you missed your deadline for paying the traffic police fine in 2019, then your case will be transferred to the bailiffs, who will subject you to punishment under Part 1 of Art. 20.25 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation:

We hasten to notify drivers that, starting in 2016, amendments have come into force allowing bailiffs to suspend a driver’s license (driving license) for a driver who has a total amount of fines exceeding 10,000 rubles. This suspension will remain in effect until all fines are paid. In addition, such a driver may not be allowed to leave Russia.

Attention! If the driver receives a letter from the bailiffs in his name, informing him that enforcement proceedings have been initiated in his name, then he has 5 days to voluntarily repay existing debts. After this time, the bailiffs can begin searching and blocking the bank accounts of such a driver to force payment of the debt.

Advice! Penal debts must be paid within the period established by law. For failure to pay the fine, the driver can be punished for 160 days, which includes 10 days for appeal, 60 days for paying the fine itself, and 90 days for the trial.

Of course, the best solution would be not to violate traffic rules at all. In this case, you will not be bothered at all by questions about the timing of payment of fines.

Deadline for payment of traffic police fines in 2019

Each document has its own validity period, this also applies to the decision on a fine. At what point can a driver legally refuse to pay a fine? What sanctions apply to defaulters who fail to pay a fine? How long is the statute of limitations for traffic fines? We will answer these and other questions in this article...

Deadline for paying a fine to the traffic police

The law defines the period within which it is necessary to pay the penalties imposed by the traffic police. If previously it was 30 days from the moment the fine came into force, then for 2019 the period has been increased to 60 days.

The period will begin to count 10 days from the moment the driver receives the fine. 10 days are defined by law so that the driver has the opportunity to appeal the fine if he does not agree with it.

That is, the total period for paying fines for traffic violations is 70 days. If this is not done, information about unpaid fines will be sent to the bailiff authorities.

The law allows 10 days to transfer the fine to the bailiffs, after which you will be required to pay double the fine.

So, how long does it take to pay the fine?

If you disagree with the fine, you have 10 days to appeal it.
Next, the 60 days that are given to pay the fine will begin.
If the fine is not paid, it will be transferred to the bailiffs within 10 days.

That is, in total you are given 80 days.

Statute of limitations for traffic police fines

Article 31.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses regulates the statute of limitations for fines.

Part 1 of this article states that if the resolution is not enforced within two years from the date of its entry into force, the fine is not payable.

That is, if for two years you have not received any demands to pay the fine, then after this period it is no longer legal to demand that you pay the fine.

But if you were hiding and avoided paying the sanctions imposed on you in every possible way, then after you are discovered, the statute of limitations will be renewed.

How to calculate when the statute of limitations for fines expires?

The limitation period is calculated 10 days after the driver receives the decision. We remind you that a period of 10 days is given so that you can appeal the fine.

Penalties are not payable if 2 years and 10 days have passed from the date of the decision.

For example, let’s take December 30, 2018 as the reference date and subtract 2 years and 10 days from this date. We get the date December 19, 2016. Traffic police fines before this date have expired and do not need to be paid, but fines received after this date are subject to mandatory payment.

If you appeal the fine in court, the statute of limitations will begin to run when this resolution comes into effect.

How long does it take to pay the traffic police fine from photo/video recording cameras?

Russian roads are equipped with cameras to photograph and video record violations of rules by drivers. There are especially many cameras installed in large Russian cities.

If your violation was recorded by a traffic camera, the decision will be sent to you by mail. The question arises: how much time is given to pay the traffic police fine in this case?

For fines imposed based on data from traffic cameras, the validity and repayment period is 60 days, as is the case with fines received from an inspector.

What does a driver face for not paying a traffic fine?

If the driver violates all the deadlines provided by law for paying fines, he will be subject to the following sanctions:

Double fine (not less than 1000 rubles);
Administrative arrest for 15 days;
Mandatory work up to 50 hours.

The court decides what type of sanctions to apply to the violator.

According to the note to Article 20.25 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, an arrest cannot be applied to a violator if the violation was recorded by photo and video recording equipment.

Also, other unpleasant sanctions may be applied to drivers who owe fines.

In 2016, bailiffs received the authority to suspend the driver's licenses of fine debtors if the total debt exceeded 10 thousand rubles. You will not be able to reinstate your license until you pay all fines you owe.

Also, the violator may not be released from our country until he covers the debts under the penalties he has.

Upon receipt of a letter from the bailiffs notifying about the initiation of enforcement proceedings, the driver can voluntarily repay his debts within 5 days.

If the driver does not pay the debt voluntarily, after 5 days the bailiffs will begin to apply sanctions to forcefully collect the debt from you.

In order not to lead to sin and not create unnecessary problems for yourself, it is better to pay your fines on time.

In order to increase fine collections, the government has given drivers the opportunity to pay fines with a 50% discount. To take advantage of this “benefit”, the fine must be paid no later than 20 days from the date of the decision.

However, not all violators can take advantage of this opportunity. The discount is not valid for drivers who have committed a repeat offense, as well as those who have committed violations related to alcohol consumption or resulting in harm to health.

As you can see, it is better to pay fines on time. Then it will be cheaper and will not cause any additional troubles. And it’s even better not to break the rules at all, then the question of fines will not arise.

Good luck on the roads!

How long does it take to pay fines in 2019? Legal advice on how to save on traffic police fines

What condition must be unconditionally observed when paying fines? This is the deadline for paying the traffic police fine. And what consequences will arise if this factor is ignored?

A fine is an unpleasant surprise that any driver can receive when violating traffic rules. But in addition to the concept of “fine” itself, it is important to know legal methods of saving by reducing the amount of your debt. This will allow you not only to save money, but also not to worry about administrative liability in the future if you are late in paying the fine.

Deadline for paying fines in 2019

A fine is one of the ways to force individuals and legal entities to fulfill their duties, which is usually imposed in monetary form. A traffic police fine is a way of forcing vehicle drivers to comply with all traffic rules. But when receiving such an administrative penalty, the question arises: “How many days are given to pay the traffic police fine?” When issuing a fine, the state road safety inspectorate gives a reasonable period of time to pay all debts, including traffic police fines. The deadline for paying a traffic police fine is 70 days.

This period of time includes:

the first 10 days are given to appeal the received administrative punishment;
the remaining 60 days are given to pay the fine itself.

Appealing a fine is a disagreement with the punishment imposed on you. You can appeal it in the district court or the traffic police department of the district in which the decision on the fine was received.

You can find out about the imposition of an administrative penalty from the traffic police resolution, which you can receive in person from a police inspector or by mail. A traffic police resolution is a document that obliges the guilty person who violated the traffic rules to pay a certain amount of money within a strictly established period. In the traffic police resolution, it is important to highlight its number, which consists of 20 numbers. It will allow you to find out all the information about the fine on various Internet sites and at the police department.

You can pay a traffic fine in 2019 completely safely and quickly in the online version. For this purpose, various websites, mobile applications and Internet portals are provided. These include:

Sberbank online is an online version of the well-known savings bank Sberbank. It is easy to use and is one of the most popular means of paying traffic fines.
Yandex.Money is your electronic wallet, with which you can also pay a fine, but with a small commission.
The State Services portal is another popular site that will help you pay your debts.
Official website of the traffic police - based on the name, you can understand that this is an excellent and proven way to pay fines.
QIWI wallet is another option for an electronic wallet, which will also charge you a small commission.
Various mobile applications that you can download yourself, choosing a free or paid version.

In these applications and websites, you can check your car for fines and pay for them using the traffic police resolution number, or enter the requested data about your car and your driver’s license.

How to pay an overdue fine?

A late fine is a fine that has not been paid within the statutory period of 70 days, subject to appeal within 60 days. In order to pay the debt, you first need to decide how you will pay the fine: online or at the terminal. If you chose the online version, then it is best to make the payment on the official website of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate or on the State Services portal. There you will find your missed fine, to the amount of which pennies will be added for late payment.

If you are not a supporter of Internet payments, then you need to go to the traffic police department that issued you a fine and ask them to recalculate it. After which you will be given a new receipt for payment of the administrative penalty, with which you go to the terminal.

When will the fine be sent to the FSSP?

Cases of persistent defaulters and persons who are overdue for mandatory cash payments are sent to the bailiffs. In order to force them to fulfill their obligations. If you fail to pay the fine on time, your debt will be sent to the federal bailiff service seventy days after receiving the order.

Payment of the fine in installments

If, based on your low financial situation, you cannot pay the debt in full at once, then the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation provides for you the opportunity to pay the fine in installments.

To do this you need:

Go to the court or to the official who issued you the order with a completed application for installment payment of the fine. Your application will be reviewed within 3 days.
Submit documents that confirm the impossibility of paying the fine immediately. For example, a certificate of income or the presence of a large family.

The installment plan of the fine cannot exceed three months. And also, if you are a foreign citizen or a stateless person, and you have received an administrative fine and punishment in the form of deportation from the country, then you will not be allowed to pay the fine in installments.

But even if, after granting the debtor an installment plan, he does not pay his fine, then new types of liability will be applied to him:

initiation of administrative proceedings;
a monetary penalty in the amount of seven percent of the total amount of the fine, which will not be less than 1,000 rubles;
a ban on traveling abroad if the fine amounts to more than 10,000 rubles.

Driver's liability for late payment of a fine

Failure to repay the debt on time can lead to dire consequences. If the driver does not pay the fine at the required time, does not appeal the traffic police decision and does not send an application requesting payment in installments, then in accordance with administrative legislation, he may be assigned one of the following types of liability:

payment of a fine in double the amount of not less than 1 thousand rubles;
compulsory work that will not exceed 50 hours;
and the most extreme option is arrest for a period of 15 days.

When a traffic police officer stops your car, he may ask you to present documents and, based on them, find out whether you have a debt. If there is one, then you may be invited to the department to draw up a report, and if you have not paid the fine for several years, then you may be detained on the spot and sent to the bailiffs. If the FSSP has a day off, you will be detained at the traffic police department for 48 hours, and after that you will be sent to the bailiffs. And your car will be sent to the impound lot, you will be able to pick it up only after paying the full amount of the fine.

Payment of fines at a discount

How long does it take to pay the traffic police fine in order to receive a discount in its payment, which will be equal to half the amount? The grace period for paying a traffic police fine begins from the first day the decision was received and ends on the 21st day. In the remaining 50 days, you pay the full cost of the fine.

That is, if you received a resolution imposing an administrative penalty on June 2 in the amount of 3,000 rubles, then in the period from 2.06 to 23.06 you can pay a fine in the amount of 1.5 thousand rubles.

But not all fines can be paid at 50%, for example:

for repeated violations: driving an unregistered vehicle, exceeding the established speed limit by 40 km/h, running a red light;
driving while intoxicated;
refusal of an alcohol test when drawing up a protocol;
You drank alcohol after the accident.

A legal way to avoid paying a fine

In order not to pay the traffic police fine legally, it is advisable to go to court with an application for deferred payment, providing along with it documents about your low financial situation. After this, if the bailiffs have not bothered you for 2 years, then the fine will expire. But if you deliberately ignored the bailiffs, then after two years this period will not end, but will double.

A “burnt fine” is a fine under which the obligation to pay it is terminated, but the debt itself does not disappear and remains with the debtor. What to do if your driver's license was taken away along with a fine? The driver will be able to return his license only after paying the entire amount of the debt. But such a practice occurs extremely rarely and, in accordance with the Code of Administrative Offences, not all fines can be “burnt out”. Under the following conditions, the fine will remain after two years:

if the traffic police resolution was sent to the FSSP;
if the debtor deliberately ignored payment;
if the debtor was deprived of his driver's license with the imposition of an administrative fine.

Conclusion

It is better not to postpone the payment of debts in the form of a traffic police fine until the very last day. To avoid possible problems with officials, you need to know how much time is given to pay the traffic police fine.

To save your money and nerves, pay the received fine within twenty days after receiving the decision. This will allow you to discount 50% of the fine. But do not forget that not all penalties for traffic violations can be paid during the grace period.

Don’t delay your debts, pay them on time, and pay fines within 70 days. But if this is impossible due to your financial situation, then do not remain silent about it, go to court or the traffic police department and tell them this, confirming everything with documents, and they will help you.

Limitation period for traffic police fines in 2019 | Statute of limitations

Can the statute of limitations on a traffic police fine expire so that it no longer has to be paid?

⚡️The statute of limitations for administrative and criminal cases appeared in the world legal system several thousand years ago and is currently enshrined in most legislation of the countries of the Romano-Germanic legal family.

Checking and paying traffic fines 50% discount

We are checking information about fines,
please wait a few seconds

Despite the ongoing debate among legal scholars, in 2019 a rule related to the de facto nullification of liability for committing certain illegal actions after a long period of time also exists in Russian legislation. The rule is associated with the loss of social significance of certain crimes at a significant temporary distance from the moment of their commission, the inappropriateness of punishment, years separated from the crime, problems with the evidence base in old cases.

Collect traffic police fines in an armful and throw copies of decisions in the trash - what could be simpler? Unfortunately, this method of solving the problem will only delay, and often even worsen, the situation of the motorist.

Among other, often very serious offenses, trivial traffic police fines also fall under the rule regarding the statute of limitations. This issue in the Code of Administrative Offenses is regulated by Article 31.9. The statute of limitations under the ShG is 2 years from the date the resolution enters into legal force.

Article 31.9. Limitation of execution of a resolution on the imposition of an administrative penalty 1. A resolution on the imposition of an administrative penalty is not subject to execution if this resolution was not enforced within two years from the date of its entry into legal force.

We can agree that two years or 24 months is a fairly short period of time in a human life, and a Russian is quite capable of waiting out such a period of time. In ideal conditions for a motorist, this is exactly the case. Moreover, until recently, a significant number of motorists managed to slip through the described window of opportunity and evade the traffic police fines imposed on them, guided by the rule of reaching the statute of limitations .

Today, it is extremely difficult for a motorist from a large city to endure traffic fines until expire . There are the following reasons for this:

Electronic mobile databases of unpaid traffic police fines from the traffic police;
Active work of the bailiff service;
Prohibition on registration of a vehicle with outstanding fines.

Hypothetically, there is, of course, a chance to hold out until the “amnesty” associated with the expiration of the statute of limitations on traffic police fines . But let's look at what the life of a motorist will consist of throughout the entire waiting period.

The first ten days after receiving a traffic police fine are the most rewarding time. This period is left by the legislator for appealing the very fact of committing an offense. During this time, the offender can live a normal life without attracting the attention of government authorities. Then another 60 cloudless days are given to find funds to pay the collection. Clouds will begin to gather over the careless motorist on the 70th day of late payment. During this period, a significant part of the fines goes to bailiffs, but even here the “penalty officer” has the right to count on 10 days of persuasion and requests.

Then the motorist will find himself in a kind of airless space for 22 months. Both traffic police and bailiffs will be interested in his personality at the same time. Any evening check of documents can end in the bullpen, the debtor’s property - his wages and bank accounts, will be levied, virtually without warning, the court can easily deprive the driver-debtor of his rights, limit his right to travel, double the existing debt or sentence him to real correctional work. The full arsenal of means of influencing the “dodger” from fines, available “in the arsenal” of the security services, is so large that just listing them could lead to a separate article.

There is a chance that in the case of a very small traffic police fine of 500-1000 rubles, no one will hunt you. However, there is little point in living in fear for two years because of such a trifling amount. In the case of larger amounts, you are guaranteed to attract the interest of bailiffs and the traffic police. In such cases, it will be extremely difficult to delay until the statute of limitations on traffic police fines expires . And in the cases of such large, advanced regions as Moscow and the Moscow region, St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Tatarstan, it is almost impossible - the work of state control bodies is too clearly structured for these territories.

There are other subtleties, as we have repeatedly mentioned, the traffic police fine after a 70-day delay in payment goes to the FSSP (Federal Bailiff Service). No matter how stupid it may sound, bailiffs are not as friendly to car owners as the traffic police. It is rarely possible to quickly and reliably pay off fines sent to the FSSP. Resolving issues at this stage involves going to banks and working with paper receipts.

By the way, even if the motorist in some extraordinary way still managed to “avoid” the traffic police and the FSSP for two years and reached the expiration of the statute of limitations on fines , he still will not be able to avoid the final bow to government agencies.

The head of the local traffic police, in an amicable way, should receive from a debtor with fines for which the statute of limitations has expired , an application with a request to stop execution of them and remove irrelevant information from the general database.

And finally, on the topic of statute of limitations , we note that avoiding paying a traffic fine , that is, waiting for the expiration of its statute of limitations , is mostly achieved not by drivers who hid well from the bailiffs, but, rather, by motorists whom the bailiffs did not look for well or did not look for at all. . Clauses 2, 3 and 4 of the same article tell us about this 31.9 :

The statute of limitations for traffic police fines begins to be calculated anew if either a person evading payment of the fine or his property is discovered;
If the fine was to be paid in installments or deferment, then the statute of limitations is increased by the amount of the latter.

The easiest way to protect your life from unnecessary hassle is still to timely pay the traffic police fine . It is possible to play super-agent with the state, but coming out of this game as a winner is an extraordinary task. As always in our publications, we recommend that drivers check and instantly pay their fines through the online service “Staff Fines”.
