Punishment for speeding in 2020
Unlike the vast majority of types of traffic violations, speeding violations are easily accounted for using technical means of control. A speeding ticket is amenable to automatic registration by traffic police cameras. In other words, if only a human inspector can determine an unfastened seat belt or different types of tires on one axle of a car, then a computer is enough to determine the speed of a particular vehicle.
Speeding is the most popular traffic violation in Russia. This feature has made speeding fines one of the most popular and frequently issued fines in Russia. Some regions are so advanced in installing traffic cameras and issuing speed fines in 2020 that they literally hung all city streets with them.
The punishment for speeding in 2020 is quite lenient if we are talking about a small excess. However, a driver rushing over the norm at 80 km / h has every chance of losing his license if he is stopped by a “human” traffic police patrol.
The State Duma is considering the issue of aggravating circumstances when drawing up an OSAGO agreement. If the proposed measures are taken, multiple speeding fines will greatly affect the cost of autocitize for fast drivers.

Payment of fines for speeding with a 50% discount
What is the point for the state to introduce a 50% discount on the payment of fines, including for speed? It was believed that by actually reducing the amount of penalties for motorists, the treasury would be better replenished by increasing the number of payments. A small fine is physically and psychologically easier to pay.
In fact, an increase in the number of payments occurred, but approximately in the same amount as the losses in the provision of discounts. Thus, the state won nothing here.
What then is success? The success of reforming the fine payment system, which includes the introduction of discounts on fines, is associated with the unloading of branches of state banks, courts and traffic police departments. The limited period of validity of the sidka drew the attention of violating motorists to online methods of paying fines and weaned them from appealing against decisions in courts and local traffic police departments.
How the 50% discount on speed fines works, let's look at an example. Motorist Ivanov I. On June 10, he drove his new car within the limits of the 40 km / h sign at a speed of 65 km / h. Based on the tablet, it can be seen that his violation was between 20 km / h and 40 km / h, therefore, the camera on the nearest pole sends Ivanov I a fine of 500 rubles. This is where the story might have ended. However, Mr. I. knows the rules and pays only half of the fine (250 rubles) in the first two weeks after the offense was committed, having discovered his fine on the Internet. Thanks to the knowledge and ability to pay debts through the World Wide Web, the motorist saved 250 rubles. The same rule applies to larger speed penalties. The presence of a discount and the “discount” cost of a fine are usually shown separately by Internet services, which is very convenient.
How to dispute a speeding ticket in 2020?
Challenging a speeding ticket is difficult, but still possible. Last but not least, the region of residence, perseverance, and the situation itself, which you consider unfair, will influence the favorable outcome of your campaign for the truth.
In large cities, there are several ways to challenge a speed fine (including a speed fine from traffic police cameras).
- By contacting the operator of the means of fixing violations
- By contacting the traffic police
- Through appeal to the judiciary
In any case, it is important to know that the fine is appealed within 10 days. If we are talking about a judicial appeal of fines, the document is submitted to the judicial authority at the place of the alleged offense. A sample of your future application, as a rule, is available both in the courts and in the traffic police structures.
It is extremely important that the complaint be written concisely, concisely and meaningfully, and it will be based on real facts, confirmed if not by experts, then by photographs and any other documents.

What real speed is not penalized?
Motorists of the country, of course, are interested in up to what mark speeding on the road will not lead to fines in 2020, up to how many kilometers per hour is it allowed to accelerate the car without falling under the prohibitions of traffic rules?
Under the current conditions, when the legislator actually exempted drivers from paying traffic police fines for speeding by Russian drivers who want to travel at maximum speed, but do not receive fines for speed, the following trick is applied.
To the value of the number on road signs limiting the speed - 30.40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 110 km / h, another 20 km / h is added.
Traffic police fines for speeding: main features
What is the difference between a speeding fine and other traffic fines? How to circumvent existing speed limits within the law? Why are speeding tickets attached not to the driver, but to the car?
The main advantages of any vehicles since prehistoric times have been either speed or carrying capacity. This statement can be attributed to the entire world transport, from cycle rickshaws to aircraft carriers or supersonic fighters of the latest generations.
The advantages of vehicles, however, as always in life, have their downsides. A large number of transported goods turns into a significant increase in the mass of the vehicle and makes it difficult to maneuver. Speed characteristics conflict with the natural abilities of a person whose sense organs during evolution did not specifically adapt to hyperaccelerations. The factor of non-adaptation to speed affects the number of accidents, mass characteristics - the severity of the consequences of accidents.
To live without transport would mean death for civilization, it is impossible to give up cars, ships and planes! However, the lives of people in modern societies are highly valued. At the junction of these two needs of society, various rules of traffic, including the road one, arose.
Speaking frankly, a significant part of the traffic rules, both international and sovereign, to one degree or another regulates issues of mass and speed. Priority signs regulate the relationship between fast and slow cars, the markings counteract the contact of cars passing each other at high speeds, etc.
Reducing the speed limit of "non-punishment" for speeding to 10 km/h in 2020
At a meeting in Izhevsk March 13, 2019, the head of the traffic police The head of the traffic police supported the introduction of fines for speeding on 10 km/h openly supported lowering the speeding threshold for which the driver is not penalized from 20 km/h to 10 km/h.
The initiative to narrow the intervals “unpunished” by traffic police fines has been discussed for more than a year. Recall that at the moment there is a practice in which drivers are not punished for speeding by 20 km/h. Drivers are accustomed to adding twenty divisions on the speedometer to the number on the road sign. This leads to an increase in the speed of flow in cities, an increase in injuries in road accidents and an increase in deaths in accidents.
History of speed penalties
In such sections, it is customary to write something like "the first mention of speed penalties can be found in the treatises of the philosophers of ancient China or Mesopotamia." Not! This will not happen!
We know about the rules of the road in antiquity mainly from the sets of rules that prescribe to skip the “tuples” of ancient leaders. By the way, the penalties for obstructing the movement of blue-blooded people were much more severe than they are now. You could literally lose your head out of the blue.
The existing norms for horse-drawn carriages, war elephants and no less proud donkeys were mainly aimed at maintaining at least some movement in the narrow streets of the historical centers of ancient megacities. There were no speed metering devices, and therefore there was no fine for this. The frown of law enforcement forces caused only dashing in moving on a living vehicle.
But about the first attempts to exceed the speed limit by motorists on public roads, there is a well-known story.
It is believed that the first high-profile and at the same time official act of crossing the line of a self-running wheelchair was carried out in London on January 28, 1896 by a certain Walter Arnold, who accelerated his “automatic” vehicle to prohibitive 13 kilometers per hour.
Many respected sources indicate that the penalty for recklessness was a fine of one shilling. Later, the story was overgrown with unthinkable details that have nothing to do with reality.
Compliance with the speed limit is somehow inextricably linked with the technology of its control. So the first official ways of convicting Soviet drivers for non-compliance with the speed limit were based on measuring the time it took for a motorist to travel the distance between road poles. Knowing the distance and time, the Soviet inspector with a stopwatch in his hand in his mind easily determined the speeding and stopped the violator and added another hole in the rights.
Traffic police fines for speed and the modern auto industry
As we all remember very well from school life safety courses, it is impossible to stop a large vehicle in a matter of seconds. A large mass adds inertia. It is for this reason that the laws of most developed countries severely limit the speed on roads within settlements at the level of 40-50 km/h. Here, the danger can be unexpected, buildings that interfere with the driver’s view, stops, trees often hide people and animals that instantly find themselves on the roadway.
Outside the city, in places with better visibility and systems of restrictions for pedestrians, the speed of the flow can reach 90-130 km/h. In some cases, on German autobahns and US highways, there may be no speed limit at all. However, unprecedented measures are being taken to ensure the safety of drivers and unauthorized persons.
Unlike cars designed and manufactured in the middle of the 20th century, the modern auto industry dulls the sense of speed in drivers and passengers. The abundance of electronic assistants creates a feeling of permissiveness and complete security. Powerful motors, even in the middle price segment, allow you to purchase a car capable of exceeding the maximum allowable speed by 3-4 times.
The power supply of vehicles, coupled with naivety and incompetence, claimed a huge number of human lives.
The fine for speed can be increased from 500 r to 3000 r.
In April 2020, the traffic police took the initiative to change the rates of fines for minor speeding.
According to Oleg Ponaryin, Deputy Head of the Main Directorate for Road Safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, “On the one hand, this will help to curb the constant growth in the number of violators. On the other hand, we have consulted with the Federal Bailiff Service, and this will enable them to collect fines in a simplified manner.”
The traffic police also proposes to take away from citizens who often exceed the speed limit discounts on the payment of fines and introduce special increased coefficients for reckless drivers.

The speed limit sign is valid until the nearest intersection, unless there are other signs regulating the speed. At the same time, after the cancellation of the speed limit sign, we do not forget about the value of the speed limits in the city, village and on the highway.
The maximum speed limit sign is sign 3.24.
Quote from the traffic rules of the Russian Federation, Appendix 1:
Thus, the effect of sign 3.24 extends from the place where the sign was installed, forward in the direction of travel, to one of these places:
1) if there is an intersection - to the nearest intersection. True, if there is an intersection without priority signs with a field, forest or secondary road, then in such places the effect of the sign 3.24 does not stop. But note that the road must be either field, or forest, or secondary.
2) in a populated area in the absence of an intersection - up to road sign 5.24.1 or 5.24.2;
3) outside the settlement in the absence of an intersection - to the road sign 5.23.1 or 5.23.2.
And finally, if there is sign 3.25 “End of the maximum speed limit zone” on the road, or sign 3.31 “End of the zone of all restrictions”, or sign 3.24 with a different value of the maximum allowed speed - sign 3.24 will be valid until one of these three signs.
The maximum speed limit prohibition sign may be valid until the next speed limit cancellation road sign, or until the next prohibition sign with a different numerical speed indication, for example, it was 70, then 50 or 40. In the absence of all cancellation signs, the speed limit prohibition sign is valid until designated intersection, and in the settlement without marked intersections - to the end of the village.
The mandatory minimum speed limit sign (on a blue background) is also valid until the next cancellation sign "End of minimum speed limit zone". There is also a general sign “End of the zone of all restrictions”, it can also relate to the cancellation of the speed limit sign.
SDA: Prohibition road sign 3.24 Maximum speed limit in the Rules of the road
SDA P1 3.24, 3.25
Prohibition road sign 3.24 The maximum speed limit imposes a prohibition on driving at a speed in km/h exceeding that indicated on the sign.
Scope of the prohibition road sign 3.24 The maximum speed limit extends from the place where the sign is installed to the nearest intersection behind it, and in built-up areas, if there is no intersection, it extends to the end of the built-up area. The action of the sign is not interrupted at the places of exit from the territories adjacent to the road and at the places of intersection or junction with field, forest and other secondary roads, in front of which the corresponding signs are not installed.
The effect of the prohibition road sign 3.24 The maximum speed limit set in front of the settlement, indicated by the road sign 5.23.1 or 5.23.2, extends to this sign.
Road signs 5.23.1 and 5.23.2 The beginning of the settlement from Appendix 1 to the SDA to which the speed limit sign is valid
For prohibition road sign 3.24 the zone of action of the sign can be reduced by installing at the end of the zone of its action a road sign 3.25 End of the maximum speed limit zone or by using plate 8.2.1.
The coverage area of road sign 3.24 can be reduced by placing a prohibition road sign 3.24 Maximum speed limit with a different maximum speed.

Speed limit sign - sign coverage area
One of the most common traffic violations, which is recorded daily on the roads of our country, is considered to be speeding. It is also often the main cause of road traffic accidents, often accompanied by serious material damage and loss of life. The visible consequences of such behavior of drivers who easily violate the speed limit are faced daily by all road users.
Despite the fact that the speed limit sign is installed not just like that, but only on potentially dangerous and difficult sections of roads, drivers are in no hurry to remove their foot from the gas pedal after crossing it. Moreover, many car owners have long forgotten that when driving in urban areas, the maximum speed is initially limited, and it is strictly forbidden to drive faster than 60 km / h. If road conditions require otherwise, then it can be further reduced by installing appropriate signs that indicate the specific permitted value for a particular section.
Features of installing a sign Speed limit
Like any other, the Maximum speed limit sign is not set on the road just like that. As a rule, he says that a difficult turn awaits the driver ahead, a significant narrowing of the roadway, difficult visibility in relation to oncoming traffic, etc. In addition, the Speed limit sign is often located near child care facilities - kindergartens, schools, and in this In this case, the speed dropped by the driver in time can save the life of a child who suddenly jumped onto the road in the wrong place.
Any difficulties on the part of the driver when interpreting this sign are simply unthinkable - the sign is extremely clear, and even people who do not have rights understand its meaning very well. On a white background, equipped with a red border, the value of the maximum permissible speed, which is allowed on this section of the road, is indicated. If the speed limit sign is located on a yellow background, this indicates its temporary purpose, but at the same time, if it contradicts the signs established on a permanent basis, it is necessary to be guided in further movement by the temporary indicator.
How long does it take to comply with the speed limit
After crossing the established sign with the designated restriction, a number of car owners find it difficult to determine the area where this restriction can no longer be observed. Finding a place where you can increase the current speed of the car is not so difficult.
- The most obvious sign that indicates the possibility of pressing the gas pedal is the sign End of the zone of all restrictions. In cities, these are quite rare.
- In the conditions of the city, you can often see the sign 3.25, which removes a certain previously indicated restriction. Immediately after crossing it, the speed can be increased to the "urban" value.
- If a sign indicating the specific distance at which the restriction is in effect is located under the indicator limiting the maximum speed, immediately after passing this segment, it can be increased. The distance is easy to determine from the odometer readings - the main thing is to fix its readings at the moment of crossing the speed limit sign. But do not rush to accelerate, because it is better to drive an extra hundred meters a little slower than to get a fine for exceeding.
- The previous restriction is removed if there is another sign on the road with a different value of the permissible speed.
- The action of the indicator, which limits the maximum permissible speed, automatically ends if there is an intersection in the path of the car. After crossing it, the maximum speed limit sign is not mandatory, and if the speed limit after crossing the roads still has its own characteristics, another sign must be installed.
- The restriction is removed when leaving the city where such a sign was installed. However, this only works if there is a corresponding sign on the road, namely “End of settlement”. If it is absent, the restriction may extend its effect to several tens of kilometers, until the driver meets a sign with other requirements.
It is worth noting that at the entrance to a city or village, the zone of validity of the speed limit sign, which is located in front of it, does not lose its relevance, and the requirements for observing the speed limit remain valid.
Responsibility for exceeding
Since the speed limit road sign is never set just like that, but only in dangerous areas, or where the movement of vehicles at high speed can lead to human casualties, the punishment for ignoring its requirements is quite severe. This is due to the serious consequences of violating the speed limit, which can be encountered almost daily on our roads. Therefore, the punishment for such a violation is tangible - it is quite possible to receive not only an impressive fine, but also lose the right to drive a vehicle for a period of one year.
The final amount of the fine for this type of violation may vary, and depends on a number of points, for example:
- the specific location of the road where the offense was committed, as well as its category;
- type and characteristics of the vehicle violating the speed limit;
- type of tasks performed by the vehicle - transportation of hazardous substances, people, towing.
It is worth noting that despite the fact that the maximum speed is prescribed in the traffic rules, for various types of roads it can be increased by the regions independently. In this case, appropriate signs are installed. About such a measure in one of the regions is described in the video:
Questions of traffic rules by sign Maximum speed limit
Which of the following signs apply only to the period of time when the road surface is wet?
Only a combination of signs "A" - 3.24 "Maximum speed limit" with a sign 8.16 "Wet surface", indicating that the sign applies to the period when the road surface is wet - is the correct answer. Sign "B" - 1.18 "Emission of gravel" - warns of a section of the road where gravel, crushed stone and the like can be ejected from under the wheels of vehicles. Sign "B" - 1.15 "Slippery road" - warns of a road section with increased slipperiness of the roadway. The reason for this may be snowfall, icing, spillage of bitumen during road works, etc. ("Road Signs").
This road sign:
- Recommends driving at a speed of 40 km/h
- Requires driving at a speed of at least 40 km/h
- Prohibits driving at speeds over 40 km/h
Sign 3.24 "Maximum speed limit" is a common sign on our roads. ("Road signs"). It is forbidden to drive at a speed (km/h) exceeding that indicated on the sign. For exceeding the speed limit over +20 km / h, a punishment follows - a fine; over +60 km/h - a fine or deprivation of rights.
Action area:
1 - From the installation site to the nearest intersection, and in the settlement in the absence of an intersection - to the end of the n.p.
2- The coverage area may be limited by plate 8.2.1
"Zone of action".
3 - Up to the same sign with a different speed value.
4 - Before the sign 5.23.1 or 5.23.2 "Beginning of the settlement" with a white background.
5 - Up to sign 3.25 "End of speed limit zone".
6 - Up to sign 3.31 "End of the zone of all restrictions." ("Road signs").
The requirements of which signs come into force directly in the place where they are installed?
The action of the prohibition sign 3.24 "Maximum speed limit" extends from the installation site to the nearest intersection, and in the absence of an intersection - to the end of the settlement ("B"). The coverage area may be limited, for example, by the plate 8.2.1 “Action area” (“A”). The sign is valid 100m from its place of installation. Plate 8.1.1 under the sign ("B") "Distance to the object" indicates the distance from the sign to the place where it begins to operate. ("Road signs").
Which signs apply only to the nearest intersection in the direction of travel?
The effect of signs: B - 3.24 "Maximum speed limit" and D - 3.28 "Parking is prohibited" extends to the nearest intersection behind it, and in built-up areas in the absence of an intersection - to the end of the built-up area. The operation of the signs: A - 5.31 "Zone with a maximum speed limit" and B - "Zone with a restriction on parking" is canceled by signs corresponding only to them 5.32 "End of a zone with a maximum speed limit" and 5.28 "End of a zone with a restriction on parking" ("Road signs ").

3.24 Maximum speed limit
It is forbidden to drive at a speed (km/h) exceeding that indicated on the sign. The coverage area of signs extends from the place where the sign is installed to the nearest intersection behind it, and in populated areas, if there is no intersection, to the end of the populated area. The action of the signs is not interrupted at the places of exit from the territories adjacent to the road and at the places of intersection (adjacency) with field, forest and other secondary roads, in front of which the corresponding signs are not installed. The effect of the sign 3.24, installed in front of the settlement, indicated by the sign 5.23.1 or 5.23.2, extends to this sign. The zone of action of signs can be reduced by placing sign 3.25 (End of the maximum speed limit zone) at the end of their zone of action or by using plate 8.2.1. Sign 3.24 coverage area can be reduced by placing sign 3.24 with a different maximum speed
Scheme of one of the routes
Olga (Vladivostok)
Once again, it is not clear who initiated the interest of the media in the issue of abolishing the non-punishable, by 20 km / h, speeding over the permitted level. Now the proponents of this idea "came" from the side of the size of road signs. As you know, in Moscow, as an experiment, it was decided to install smaller road signs on several streets so as not to spoil the bright look of the city. A number of "experts" have calculated that at an unpunished speed of 80 km/h (permitted 60 km/h, plus another 20 km/h excess), drivers supposedly cannot notice the signs of the new format. And they concluded: it is necessary to immediately cut the amount of unpunished speeding at the federal level through amendments and other acts.
This is instead of simply returning the diameter of the road signs on a couple of Moscow streets to their original size! In parallel, some "experts" gave hints that the government is discussing the abolition of the permitted excess of 20 km / h and will soon do so. Recall that in 2015 the Ministry of Internal Affairs already tried to reduce the amount of non-punishable excess from 20 to 10 km/h. Failed due to public outcry. In fact, there are even fewer sane arguments for cutting the non-penalized 20 km / h today than it was a couple of years ago. Recall that at that time the Ministry of Internal Affairs referred to data for 2014, when 199,720 accidents occurred on the roads of Russia, in which 26,963 people died.
At the same time, she kept silent that the number of accidents with victims was steadily declining from year to year, having decreased by 2.1% in 2014. For reference, we recall that in 2016 in Russia there were even fewer such accidents - 173,694, and 20,308 people died in them. Comparing the data for 2014 and 2016 alone shows a significant improvement in cases. That is, the existence of "non-penalized 20 km / h" does not affect absolutely. Yes, and there is no objective reason for this. The traffic police statistics that exist, but, of course, carefully hidden from the public, unequivocally state: the increase in the accident rate begins only when the speed is exceeded by more than 20 km / h. Below this bar, there are no noticeable security issues. Why are they again talking about the abolition of "non-penalized 20 km / h"?
The chest, most likely, is opened simply: the total amount of "penalty" money transferred to the budget - from 50 billion rubles in 2015 to 32.5 billion in 2016. This happened, first of all, because of the 50% "discount" when paying the fine within 20 days. What needs to be done to increase them? That's right: cut the non-penalized speed limit, since the lion's share of traffic police fines falls solely on speeding over 20 km / h. After all, if instead of a 20-kilometer threshold, for example, a 10-kilometer threshold is set, then the number of fined drivers can increase significantly!
Driving a car for most people brings incomparable pleasure. The highway, especially the motorway, beckons with its freedom and speed ... However, for the last point there are quite certain restrictions, for the violation of which the law provides for a tangible fine. In addition, Article 12.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses imposes a restriction on freedom of movement by car - a driver's license is withdrawn.
With regard to the speed limit, changes in the legislation have been made more than once. To date, the minimum speed limit is considered to be 20 km per hour. Up to this value, the administrative code does not provide for fines for lovers of fast driving.
In order to apply the law, a recorded fact of the offense is required. This is done using surveillance cameras fixed in special places, or a radar used by a traffic police officer.
What stationary devices can record
Cameras are installed in certain areas with the highest number of speed violations. As a rule, the locations of technical facilities are equipped with warning signs at least 300 m away on the motorway, and at least 100 m within the city. The cameras do not record an excess of up to 20 km / h. Violations that can be detected using stationary photo and video shooting on the roads:
- Speed mode - excess by more than 20 km / h, up to 300 km / h.
- Crossing a solid line.
- Driving with an unfastened seat belt.
- Departure to a dedicated lane.
In addition, there are cameras located between any objects. Technical devices communicate with each other, measuring the time during which the vehicle has moved between points. Since the distance is known, the program calculates the average speed of the vehicle. If there is an excess of speed by 20 or more kilometers per hour, a resolution is issued.
Motorway traffic can also be controlled by cameras. At the same time, not only speeding, but also its small value, is subject to imposition of penalties. So, when moving vehicles with a speedometer mark of less than 40 km / h (or stopping in the wrong place), a fine of 1,000 rubles is provided.
Types of recording devices and conditions of use
The types of cameras that are allowed to be used are defined by law:
- "Chris-1". The most commonly used fixative. Registers major violations and creates a database.
- "Rapier". It is used on sections of the route where the probability of accidents is high. This device not only registers speeding over 20 km per hour, but can also control traffic lights, regulate traffic on a busy highway and record other violations.
The driver needs to be aware that the use of imaging equipment that is not approved by law and has not passed meteorological testing is not prohibited. However, the decision on the offense drawn up with the use of such devices is unlawful. Photographs or video recordings, for example, from a mobile phone, can be considered and serve to initiate an administrative violation case.
Decree
The citizen receives information about the excess by mail. The car owner must carefully study the “letter of happiness” and, if inconsistencies with the letter of the law are found, may not pay a fine based on the decision received.
The original document must contain the following information:
- Exceeding the speed of movement (the total speed of the vehicle and the amount by which it is exceeded).
- Registering device, its number, installation address.
- Photo of a car with a clearly visible license plate.
- Excerpt from the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation about the violated article.
- Time and address of fixing the offense.
- Receipt with details: the account begins with numbers from 401 to 407, the recipient is indicated by the UFK, the type of payment is a fine for violating traffic rules.
- The envelope in which the document is located must be with a special window.
Special conditions
The decision, as a rule, is appealed within 10 days if the vehicle was driven by a person who does not own the vehicle:
- The car is operated by proxy - the issue can be resolved peacefully. The owner can inform the driver about which speeding or other violation fines are due.
- The car is stolen - the owner knows about it in advance and has already taken the necessary measures to search for the day the letter was received. The decision is appealed with the provision of relevant documents.
Mobile speed meters
Traffic police officers have the ability to record violations using radar. The legislation clearly defines the conditions under which the device can be used. Only an excess of speed of 20 km per hour or more is recorded. Other illegal actions of drivers are recorded visually by traffic police officers.
Devices used in work:
- "Arena". The range of the sight is 1.5 kilometers. It is located on a tripod at the edge of the roadway. The device fixes violations by photographing the car. The picture contains the speed of movement, date and time. Can also work at night.
- "Spark". More common speedometer. The measurement range is 400-800 meters. Adjustment is made manually. The device is often installed on a patrol car.
- "Vizir". Fixes and shoots the offense. It can work both in stationary and mobile mode.
Controversial traffic violation
For exceeding the speed limit by 20 km per hour or more, traffic police officers, having fixed a violation on the radar, have the right to stop the car and draw up a protocol. In this regard, there are some nuances that all drivers must be aware of. This applies to violations of the measurement rules by the employees themselves.
Devices that record high-speed traffic differ not only in the measurement range, but also in the features of operation in a multi-lane road. So, for example, "Iskra" can be used only in areas with low traffic density. Ideally, violations are recorded on one lane, where no more than three cars move. At the same time, there should be no vehicles on the second lane.
If the traffic police officer presents the driver with readings of the device, on which the registered figures are greater than the permissible speed limit, you must carefully read these data.
Example
The radar recorded the time that has passed since the measurement of the speed of movement - 69 seconds. The time of a complete stop of transport at 60 km / h is 4-6 seconds. Presentation of documents, taking readings of the device - 25-30 seconds. As a result - 31-36 seconds. Actual vehicle movement time from the moment of measurement ≈ 33 seconds (0.009 hours).
Using a simple formula, we calculate the distance in time - 60 km / h x 0.009 h \u003d 0.54 km (540 meters) - the path of transport from the moment of fixation. The average range of instruments used by inspectors is 300 meters. Therefore, the speed measurement was incorrect.
Exceptions
In the event that speeding by 20 km per hour or more has occurred, and registration is made in accordance with the rules, the traffic police officer issues a fine that must be paid within 60 days.
An appeal against the decision can be made in court within the prescribed time limits if there are any violations in relation to the driver on the part of the inspectors.
Despite the fact that the court often takes the side of the traffic police, it is possible and necessary to try to protect your rights. Such cases would be considered much less if the servants of the law knew the traffic rules and state standards in full, learned how to correctly apply the articles, and even more so the paragraphs.
Road safety often depends on how competent traffic police officers are. In an attempt to comply with the plan for offenses, inspectors stop drivers who allow a speed limit of 20 km per hour or more. And it is right. However, situations arise when traffic police officers falsify circumstances and, unfortunately, this phenomenon often takes place.
"Reverse" reform
At the moment, a bill proposed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is being considered. According to the new regulations, the maximum speed limit cannot be more than 10 km/h. According to deputies, this measure will increase the safety of both drivers and pedestrians. It is believed that after all the amendments, the law will be published no earlier than July 2015. Thus, there is a return to the system that was canceled on September 1, 2013, when the speed exceeded by 10 or more kilometers per hour was punishable. However, with the adoption of the law on new violations the year before last, the number of accidents, as expected, did not increase, but decreased.
Discussions
The project is being actively discussed not only in the State Duma, but also by drivers. Many assume that the maximum allowable speed limit of 10 km / h will allow not very conscious car owners to drive not 80 km / h (average traffic speed), but more. Keeping a speed of 60–65 km/h in a city (especially in a metropolis) is almost impossible today. According to the unspoken rules, it is customary to move faster.
If a driver out of habit drives 70–75 km/h (considered to be a permissible speeding in the current code), and he, in fact, will be entitled to a fine of 500 rubles, he can also drive at a speed of 100 km/h, since the violation is still happened. The initiators of the bill are the deputies of the Ivanovo region, believing that a rollback to the old rules will be a preventive measure in ensuring security.
Much also depends on what fine for speeding is determined by law. The new project provides for a change only in terms of speed limits.
All the secret becomes clear
A Russian person, probably, at the subconscious level, almost always has a desire to circumvent the law, to find a loophole in it. Administrative regulations are no exception, as are all kinds of speed recorders and traffic police officers.
Intentional detour, deception of fixing means will not pass without a trace. In the event that the driver knows for sure that he violated any article of the Code of Administrative Offenses, but the inspector did not stop him, then the cameras may well record, for example, an excess of 20 km / h or more.
The feeling of impunity, which is present in many drivers, provokes more serious violations of the administrative code. The improvement and automatic mode of registration means will allow not only to eliminate the human factor in the execution of decisions, but also to fix all visible inconsistencies with the rules on the road.
Internet fine
Information about the violation in electronic form becomes available much faster than in paper form. There are web resources where any driver can check speeding. You must have a driver's license and a vehicle passport (PTS) at hand. Usually, on a site regulated by the traffic police, document data is entered, and information about the violation appears - the date, the amount of the fine and the number of the decision.
On the same resource, it is proposed to make payments in real time without commission. It is important to distinguish between official sites and fraudulent ones. For resources created by other offenders, but already a criminal article, there are usually restrictions on the dissemination of information. Suspicious sites are blocked using personal computer software.
Warning and statistics
Speeding violations are quite dangerous for any participant in the movement - both for the driver and for the pedestrian. Compliance with the rules and following the signs can not only reduce the risk of injury on the road, but also prevent car accidents. Of course, in addition to speed, it is necessary to comply with other provisions of the administrative code regarding the operation of vehicles and driving standards.
Compliance with traffic rules should also become a rule for pedestrians, who often rely on “maybe”. Crossing the road outside the transition zone, people run the risk of being under the wheels of a car of a law-abiding driver who has never been in such situations. For those involved in an accident, this can end badly.
You should not think that if some violate and do not get caught, then the rest can. Speeding in 25% of cases causes a disaster. According to the traffic police for 2013, more than 203,000 accidents were recorded for various reasons. About 27,000 people died in them, 255,000 thousand were injured. Such statistics should make every road user think about compliance with the rules, no matter how unusual it may turn out to be.
So, in our country it is impossible to exceed the established speed of movement. There is a penalty for this. According to the General Rules of the Road in built-up areas, the speed should be no more than 60 km / h, but if an appropriate speed limit road sign is set with a value above 60 km / h, then the permitted speed increases to this value, but not more than 80 km /h But outside the settlements, your speed should not exceed 90 km / h. Again, with the appropriate sign, it can be increased to 130 km / h, but no more.
Accordingly, anything above these limits is considered speeding. Let's look at the most frequently asked questions about speeding and give the right answers to them.
Is it possible to exceed the speed limit by 20 km/h
It is forbidden. There is a difference between a law that prohibits doing something and a law that establishes responsibility for it. In our case, speed limits are prescribed in the traffic rules. But there is a slight discrepancy, calculated on various kinds of errors in speedometers and fixation devices - in the Code of Administrative Offenses there is no punishment for exceeding the speed limit by less than 20 km / h. This means that, for example, if you drive at a speed of 119 km/h where the speed limit is 90 km/h, then there will be no penalty for this in the form of a fine.
However, in the case of, for example, an accident, the presence of exceeding the speed limit by at least 1 kilometer per hour can become an aggravating factor of guilt, or incline the likelihood of establishing guilt precisely in speeding.
How can I be caught speeding?
Today, there are not many ways to be fined for speeding:
- speeding can be recorded by a special camera
- the traffic police inspector with a special device can fix the excess and fine for this.
There are basically two types of cameras: those that instantly calculate elevation by quickly photographing the car twice and measuring the difference in beam length on those two occasions, then calculating your speed; the so-called "Avtodorii", which measure the average speed over a much longer distance. They work quite simply: two cameras are located at a certain distance (usually from 50-70 meters to 1-2 kilometers) from each other on the same road. Both take photographs and record the time of their photograph. Then, dividing the distance known in advance by the time difference between the two shots, the calculation of the average speed of movement is obtained.
Can you get your license suspended for speeding?
Yes. Punishments for speeding are regulated by Article 12.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, and in three of its parts it provides for deprivation of rights for significant or repeated speeding.
- for exceeding the speed limit by 60 to 80 km / h, a deprivation for a period of 4 to 6 months is provided, or, as an alternative, a fine of 2 to 2.5 thousand rubles (part 4 of article 12.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses);
- for exceeding the speed limit by more than 80 km / h, a deprivation for a period of six months is provided or, as an alternative, a fine in the amount of 5 thousand rubles (part 5 of article 12.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses);
- for a repeated violation of any of the points above, a deprivation for a period of 1 year is provided or, as an alternative, a fine in the amount of 5 thousand rubles, but only if the violation was recorded by an auto-fixation camera (part 7 of article 12.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses).
What are the penalties for speeding?
As we said above, fines for exceeding are prescribed in article 12.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. Let's look at them in a handy table.
Can I be fined for exceeding if there is no photo fixation plate?
Quite. A "photographing" information sign can be used in conjunction with a speed limit sign to inform drivers that a speed radar may be in the area.
However, neither the SDA, nor a single GOST, nor other legal acts oblige the installation of this plate as a condition for the presence of radars or a camera for photographing speeding.
Is it true that the cameras will not see the excess if you drive at high speed?
This is partly true. Kris-P photo cameras, for example, operate in the speed range from 20 to 250 km/h, and they cannot measure speeds above 250 km/h.
However, Avtodorii have a much wider range of speeds, operating on the principle described above - completely different from instantaneous speed fix radars.
