Exceeding the speed by 20 km. Allowable speeding. Excess of speed: penalties

A common violation of the rules governing traffic is the drivers' failure to comply with the high-speed regime when driving both on human settlements and along the road. Practically there is no driver who for various reasons would not allow it. When the violation is fixed, fines are issued for the traffic police for speeding.

SDA set the speed limit

The rules of the road regulate the speed regime when driving in all settlements, as well as on highways and highways. 60 km / h - permissible traffic speed when driving within populated areas. On the routes it is already allowed to drive up to 90 km / h. When leaving the motorway, you can accelerate to a maximum limit of 110 km / h. To reduce the likelihood of accidents on dangerous sections, additional speed limits are set. Drivers ignoring the requirements of traffic signs, as well as permissible speeding, often become the culprits of accidents on the roads.

Permissible limits

Traffic regulations oblige the driver to move at a speed corresponding to the established restrictions on the road section, taking into account the intensity of the traffic flow, the condition of the roadway and the weather conditions.

The automotive industry develops every year, the quality of vehicles improves, as a result, the speed of traffic often increases. However, the road infrastructure does not cope with the pace of development of the automotive industry. The lack of highways, the availability of ground crossings, poor quality of roads and other reasons do not allow drivers to drive at a high speed. All these circumstances make it necessary to introduce speed limits on some dangerous sections of roads. There are roads with high-quality coverage, good visibility and the absence of any circumstances hampering the rapid movement.

The restrictions imposed on such sites slow down the flow of vehicles and force drivers to violate the speed limits. Is the excess always a violation? In 2013, the amendments to the law established that the driver would be responsible for speeding up the speed limit by 20 km. Thus, the legislators have established a low speed at which the driver should not be held accountable.

But do not rejoice and exceed the speed limit. In the case of an accident, if you prove the speeding by the driver even at 1 km / h, you will have to bear responsibility.

Exceeded speed - pay

The law provides for various options for fixing traffic violations. Speeding is documented by video cameras and police officers who use special devices.

Drivers ignoring traffic rules and violating the speed limits will be punished. What penalty for speeding will have to be paid, depends on the amount by which the speed of movement is exceeded.

Video fixing cameras: features of responsibility

When fixing violations by video cameras, for example, exceeding speed by 20 km, there are features of bringing the driver to liability:

• Based on video fixing materials, the judge can not take a decision on punishment in the form of a warning and forfeiture of rights;
• The maximum penalty may be imposed if the sanction, as an alternative penalty, is the deprivation of the certificate for managing the vehicle;
• A minimum fine is imposed if the violation is not provided for the deprivation of the certificate.

Exceeding speed-2014: fines

Amendments in the field of traffic safety, which came into effect in September 2013, changed the penalties for non-compliance with the speed limit:

• For speeding by 20 km / h an administrative fine of 500 rubles is provided if the speed has been exceeded by up to 40 km / h.
• When the car moves at a speed higher than 40-60 km / h allowed, penalty sanctions in the amount of 1-1.5 thousand rubles are applied.
• If the traffic speed is repeatedly violated, the fine already increases and rises from 2 to 2.5 thousand rubles. The same amount of penalty is provided if the permitted speed limit is exceeded by 60-80 km / h. If such a violation is allowed repeatedly, the driver will have to pay 5000 rubles as a fine.
• For gross violation of speed in accordance with the SDA with an excess of 80 km / h and more the driver will pay 5000 rubles. The same penalty will have to pay if a similar violation of rules is repeated, fixed by technical means of automatic photo or video shooting.

The decision on the impunity of drivers for the "insignificant" excess of the speed limit has already affected the statistics of accidents due to drivers' non-compliance with the rules. So, according to official statistics of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate for January-April 2014, the number of accidents increased by 4.6%, compared to the same period of that year. At the same time, people died at 6.4% more. In connection with these circumstances, the State Duma intends to once again approve a penalty for non-compliance with speed on the roads at 10-20 km / h, but only for settlements. According to preliminary information, the violation will cost the driver 500 rubles (until the autumn of last year, a fine of 100 rubles was provided or a warning).

Exceeded the speed - and deprivation of rights?

It is necessary to know and remember that not every speeding can lead to parting with a driver's license. Basically, for non-compliance with the speed limit, various penalties are imposed, the size of which is proportional to the magnitude of the excess. If the violation is 60 km / h or more, then it really can already threaten with the withdrawal of rights up to 6 months. For a period of not less than 6 months, you can part with the driver's license, if you ignore the permissible speed limit at 20 km / h, and go at a speed greater than 80 km / h.

Do not be discouraged ahead of time, because the reasons for speeding up may be different. In addition, only the court has the right to decide on the deprivation of the right to manage the vehicle, and withdrawal is carried out after the entry of the decision into force.

After stopping for speeding at 20 km / h or more, the traffic police inspector is obliged to fix the violation, gather evidence, draw up a protocol on the violation and then send all the materials to the court. Here, you should not let things go by themselves, then exactly the decision will deprive the rights and the presumption of innocence, alas, will not be taken into account.

Documenting violations

Fines for speeding in 2014 are severe. Therefore, it is necessary to know how the traffic police officer must act, and this will protect you.

The fact of speed violation is fixed by special measuring instruments, which must have a quality certificate and a document confirming the passage of the metrological check.

Under the general rule of "presumption of innocence," the person held accountable should not, in justification, prove innocence. However, in the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation there are exceptions, for which violations of the rules of traffic on the roads and the fixation of violations by special automatic means, the presumption of innocence does not apply.

It turns out that the traffic police officer should not prove anything: showed the measurements of the device and everything, the fault is proved. This conclusion arises from a note in the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

Driver's Rights

If you committed an offense, and everything was recorded without violations of established procedures, you can ask the inspector a question, after which he will be obliged to prove your guilt. Here's how to act in practice, so that all rights are respected, which many drivers do not know:

1. After the Inspector of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate has reported that the speed limit has been exceeded, you can rightfully demand that the device be presented to familiarize yourself with the readings. On a modern instrument, you must clearly see the car with a state number and speed. With such data you can not argue.
2. Ask for documents on the device used to fix the offense. The employees must have certificates and an inspection certificate with them.
3. Verify the presence of seals on the device and the conformity of the device number with the documents presented.
4. If the excess is small, pay attention to the weather, as when the radar reading is distorted, it should be reflected in the protocol.

The traffic police officer can ignore the requirements and refuse to present documents. By law, you have the right to become acquainted with the available materials. The fact of refusal should be reflected in the protocol, noting that documents for the device were not presented to you for review.

The same record in the protocol should be left if photocopies of the required documents were submitted. In this case, the blueprint is not a document on the suitability of the device. Therefore, ask to present the original documents to the radar.

Drivers should remember!

Sitting behind the wheel of the car, always remember that an allowable speeding of 20 km / h can cost someone a life. It is better to be late and arrive later than not to reach at all. Life can not return anything, even huge money. Therefore, think about yourself, your relatives and others. Laws change every year, fines then increase, then decrease. And the situation on the roads does not change significantly and will not change until we stop violating the traffic rules ourselves.
