Riding with overdue rights: penalty and consequences

Today we have to find out what the driver faces riding with overdue rights. Is it worth to be afraid of some serious punishment? Or can you just not change your driving license without fear? What penalties, if any, will be applied to the negligent driver? What features should people pay attention to? To understand all this will help the Russian legislation.

Lost Houses

It should be noted immediately that often there are situations in which the driver's license is, but it was forgotten for one reason or another. This is a violation, but it should not always be punished for it.

When the driver stops in this case, you should expect a reprimand. Or a minimum fine. Which one? To date, the amount of payment is 500 rubles. But what if there was a ride with expired rights?

Not always there is a punishment

It all depends on the situation. The thing is that the punishment in the situation studied is laid only when the driver was caught on violation. Simply so, outside the control of the vehicle, no one can apply this or that sanction.

In other words, while the traffic police officers did not stop the driver on the road and did not find out that his driver's license was overdue, you can not be afraid of punishment. Neither fines nor other measures can be applied in this case. Every driver must remember this.

Accordingly, you can travel by car even with expired rights. But only this is done at your own peril and risk. If the traffic police officers establish the fact of the delay of the driver's license, then one has to put up with some or other penalties. Otherwise, you can not be afraid and drive the vehicle without fear.

Punishment

What is provided for driving with overdue rights? To date, there is one common penalty - a fine. It is he who must be discharged by a traffic police officer who determined that the driver drives with an expired certificate. Other measures are not yet envisaged.

The amount of the fine is established on the basis of Article 12.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. Punishment is equated as driving without the right to drive a vehicle. Administrative payment in this case will be at least 5,000 rubles. The maximum penalty is also set. Riding with overdue rights can cost the driver a maximum of 15,000 rubles.

Confiscation

But that is not all. The thing is that the punishment for the violation in question does not end with payment. Usually, drivers are punished in addition. But everything is within the established legislation.

Had driving with an expired driver's license? Penalty for this act is laid, but it is still not the only measure to curb the violation. In addition, the driver will not be allowed to drive the vehicle until the driver's license is exchanged.

In addition, confiscation of the car, which the citizen was driving, is put. Such measures are in place today in Russia. The vehicle will be sent to the parking lot. And then it is necessary not only to restore the driver's license, but also to redeem the car.

Accordingly, riding with expired rights can bring many problems to citizens. This should always be remembered. The confiscation of a vehicle is, as already said, a completely legal measure.

Alcoholic intoxication

Another feature that you should pay attention to is driving in a state of intoxication. Then driving with an expired driver's license will bring a lot of problems. In this case, all the listed measures to suppress a repeated violation do not take place.

What is fraught with such a ride? A drunk driver with expired rights can prepare for the fact that:

1. Can write a fine. Its exact size is set at the discretion of the DPS staff. It should be noted that the maximum payment can not exceed 30,000 rubles.
2. After a stop, there is an arrest. This measure will have to face for a period of 10 to 15 days. Such measures are envisaged in Russia today.

Not the most terrible measures, but unpleasant. Given the overdue rights, the car can be confiscated. After all, in practice there will be several violations. Namely - driving in a state of intoxication, as well as the delay in the driver's license.

Re-driving

Special attention should be paid to re-driving the vehicle after drinking alcohol. Especially if it is a question of the citizen's overdue rights.

The thing is that the punishment for driving with an expired driver's license, in itself, is not too serious. But alcoholic intoxication imposes additional sanctions. If the violation is repeated, they become tougher.

In this situation, you can count on:

1. Sending a car to the parking lot. As already mentioned, this measure is applied with an expired driver's license almost always. Every driver must remember this.
2. Fine. In this situation, we will have to accept that its dimensions will be impressive. To date, you can hope that the DPS staff will issue a fine of up to 300,000 rubles. The minimum amount is 200,000.
3. Forced labor. Appointed for 2 years. In addition, a citizen may be banned for a certain period of time to carry out certain activities or work in specific areas.

Accordingly, frightening, as a rule, it is fine. And the confiscation of the car also motivates citizens to refuse to operate the vehicle after consuming hot drinks.

What to do

Now a little about how you can avoid this or that punishment. Of course, when it comes to the usual delay in the driver's license. In the case of alcoholic intoxication, you should not even try to solve the situation peacefully.

If the traffic policemen noticed driving on a car with overdue rights, you can try to agree "humanly". For example, move aside and invite employees not to confiscate the car. Especially if the delay is small. Of course, after the conversation it will be necessary to pay a fine in the established amounts and update the driver's license.

Sometimes it happens that DPS employees refuse such a concession. Further it is recommended to follow the actions of law enforcement agencies. If they simply issue a protocol for signing, you can threaten with non-performance of their duties. According to the established laws, a citizen must necessarily be offered assistance of a lawyer or a lawyer. It is desirable to fix the whole process on a photo or video camera.

You can try to pretend that the driver's license is left at home. Then, as it is not difficult to guess, a citizen will be fined 500 rubles. And he will get a reprimand. Only deception can be revealed. This is not the best thing. Doing so highly is not recommended.

About replacement of rights

It is clear, what consequences can lead to a ride with expired rights. And how to replace this document? This important moment interests all drivers. The process does not require anything special. But you still have to prepare for it.

How exactly? To apply for replacement of the rights it is necessary directly in GAI on a residence. You will need to bring a certain package of documents with you. Namely:

• Medical certificate of the established sample;
• Application for the exchange of rights;
• Identity card (passport with residence permit);
• Old rights;
• Driver's card;
• Receipt of payment of state duty;
• Certificate on the absence of restrictions on the management of the vehicle.

The main problem is the medical commission. But if in advance to worry about the inspection, no hassle with the process will not arise. It's easy and simple. As soon as a citizen has rights, he will again acquire the right to drive a vehicle.

Results

From now on it is clear what penalties can be for driving with expired rights. Usually it is possible to get rid of a reprimand and a fine in the established sizes. It is recommended not to act at your own risk - the driver's license must be exchanged according to the rules established in Russia. Then there will be no problems with the traffic police.

If the car is confiscated, the cost of redemption is determined in each region separately. Information about how much you will have to pay in excess of the fine, you need to learn in the traffic police or the workers of the parking lot.

In fact, everything is not as difficult to understand as it may seem. In reality, driving with expired rights is not so terrible. But it should not be abused.
