Krasnorepova) in the case of an administrative offense under Part 2 of Article 12.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation,

How much can you exceed the speed limit without a fine?

According to the law, a driver is fined only if he exceeds the speed by more than 20 km/h. This is a non-penalized speed limit. For example, the standard speed limit in the city is 60 km/h, and the driver accelerated to 80 km/h - there will be no fine. If he drives 81 km/h or faster, he will most likely be fined.

It turns out that in the city you can exceed the speed of up to 80 km/h, outside the city - up to 110, on the highway - up to 130, in a residential area - up to 40 km/h. There is no penalty for this.

We do not recommend exceeding the speed limit. A fine is not the only possible consequence. In the event of an accident, a driver who exceeded the speed limit by even 1 km/h will automatically be considered at fault.

Speed ​​limits on Russian roads

In a populated area. The standard limit in cities, towns and villages is 60 km/h. Sometimes in cities there are sections with a higher speed limit - for example, on a bridge without pedestrians. In such cases, there is usually a sign - a number in a red circle.

Outside the populated area. As a rule, the maximum speed on roads outside the city is 90 km/h. In some areas it can be higher, up to 110 km/h.

On the motorway. The maximum speed on the highway is 110 km/h. This type of road is indicated by a special green sign with two transverse lines.

In a residential area. In courtyards, near residential buildings and in bicycle zones, speeds of more than 20 km/h are prohibited. This rule applies to all types of transport.

If there is a speed limit sign. In this case, the driver is guided by the number on the sign. If a road outside the city is undergoing repairs and the limit is set at 40 km/h, you cannot drive faster. A speed of 60 km/h will already be considered excessive, and a fine is possible for it.

The speed limit sign ceases to be valid after:

• “End of restrictions” sign - a white circle with a slash;
• the end of the coverage area. Under the sign there is a sign with an arrow, for example “100 m”;
• settlement sign. It has a speed of 60 km/h;
• intersection.

The residential zone sign sets the minimum possible limit - 20 km/h, and the "Motorway" - the maximum, up to 110 km/h

A sign with a red circle limits the speed, and its crossed out version cancels the limit

Who records speeding?

A traffic police inspector measures the speed of cars in traffic using a radar or mobile camera. If the speed is higher than the permissible limit, he stops the offender and shows him the speed at which the car was traveling. The driver has the right to ask for a certificate for the device to find out the error.

Depending on the situation, the inspector will draw up the following documents:

• protocol and resolution of the offense. This happens if the driver agrees with the violation.
• only protocol. If the driver does not agree, the policeman will record the violation in the protocol, and the driver can write his objections in it. If the excess is large and is punishable by deprivation of rights, the inspector also writes out a protocol and sends it to the court. The judge will decide whether to revoke the driver's license.

The camera snatches the car in traffic if the speed is higher than the permissible speed. Next, the device takes a photo or video, reads the number and sends the material to the Violation Recording Center (CAFAP). There the inspector checks to see if there is an error and signs the resolution. The document is sent to the driver by regular mail, and the information about the fine goes into the database. From there, the data is received by fine checking services, such as “Traffic Police Fines”.

Peculiarities of imposing fines for speed when recorded by cameras

They are not deprived of rights. The car owner can only be sent a fine. If the article of the Code of Administrative Offenses provides for deprivation, it will not happen - such punishment is possible only if the car is stopped by an inspector. Instead, as a rule, they are fined 5,000 rubles. In the first 20 days this amount can be paid with a 50% discount.

They take the minimum fine if the penalties include fines. If the only punishment under the article is a fine, but there are options, the camera will come up with a decision for the smallest amount. For example, if you exceed the speed by 40 km/h, the inspector will fine you 1,500 rubles, but the camera will only give you a fine of 1,000 rubles.

The owner receives the fine. The fine from the camera always goes to the owner of the car, regardless of who was actually driving.

Appealing the revocation of a driver's license

The right to challenge a decision in a higher court is given to every citizen. Decisions on deprivation of rights can be appealed within 10 days from the date of their receipt. It makes sense to initiate proceedings if there are compelling reasons:

1. Drawing up a protocol in violation of the procedural order:

• lack of witnesses;
• use of illegally obtained evidence;
• lack of necessary parameters, such as signatures or information about the car in the form.

1. Technical errors when measuring speed (device failure).
2. Failure in the automatic speed control system.

In some cases, challenging allows, if not to avoid punishment, then at least to minimize it. For example, driving at 120 km/h, if 60 km/h is allowed, will result in deprivation of your license. But given the permissible error of 1 km, we can assume that initially the movement occurred at 119 km/h, and this is only a fine.

General table of sanctions for exceeding speed limits on Russian roads

Punishment for repeat violations

A repeated violation of the same traffic rule within a year is considered to be a repeated violation. Sometimes the fines for such a violation are higher - this happens with serious speeding.

Repeated excess of 40-60 km/h. For this you will be fined 2000-2500 rubles; no discount is provided for payment.

Repeated excess of 60 km/h or more. In this case, the inspector will issue a report, and the judge will most likely deprive the driver of his license. If a violation is recorded by a camera, there will be a fine of 5,000 rubles.

Repeated speed violation

Any speeding on the road within a year after the first administrative penalty is considered repeated and entails more serious sanctions. There is an important point here. The decision on the fine comes into force not on the day the excess is recorded, but after a few days.

If the violation was recorded in the form of filing a complaint with officials or through delivery (receipt) of a copy, then liability begins after ten days.

In the case where the offender was subjected to administrative arrest, then within 24 hours.

If the fact of violation was proven in court, then after two months.

The fine for a repeat speed violation depends on how much the speed limit is exceeded. From 40 to 60 kilometers per hour, the fine ranges from 2000 to 2500 rubles. If the excess is greater, the option of deprivation of rights or a fine of 5,000 rubles is considered. If the offense is repeated, the case is considered in court.

What fines are provided for driving through a red light - can your license be revoked?

How to Check Speeding Tickets in 2021

By driver. You cannot check the fine by name alone; you will need the car’s license plate number, driver’s license number and vehicle registration certificate (VTC). The latter is especially important because most speeding fines come from cameras - they are all linked in the database to the STS number.

Find the numbers of these documents and enter them into the form to check fines.

By car. The fine can be checked using vehicle data - license plate number and STS number. The license number is not required.

According to the resolution. You can check the fine according to the resolution on the State Services website, but to do this you will need to register and confirm your identity. It’s easier to enter the license plate number and STS number on the main page of “Traffic Police Fines”.

Is it possible not to pay a fine for excess?

It is forbidden. By law, you are required to pay the fines assigned to you by the traffic police. However, there are loopholes here too. So, there is quite a way to avoid enforcement of the decision. But in this case, you will have to hide your money and property, and also not get caught by the bailiffs on the road as part of their joint raids with the traffic police officers.

If you simply do not pay for the fine, forgetting about it, then it can triple and even become 5 times larger. Why does it increase? There are 2 reasons:

• according to Article 20.25 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, for late payment of a traffic fine, the traffic police fine is doubled, while the main (first) one also does not go away; you had a debt of 500 rubles - it became 1,500,
• if the debt is sent for enforcement to the bailiffs, then they include in the debt, in addition to the fine amount itself, an enforcement fee - at least 1,000 rubles.

But the most important thing is that Article 20.25 can also be applied to a fine for non-payment of the basic amount. Thus, the amount can grow exponentially over time.

How to pay speed fines

Payment period. You have 70 days from the date of the decision to pay the fine. Of these, the first 10 are given to challenge the fine if you do not agree with it. Another 60 to pay. In addition, in the first 20 days, most fines can be paid with a 50% discount. For example, 1000 rubles instead of 2000 for exceeding 60 km/h.

Payment Methods. Choose where you will check fines. If the service finds unpaid violations, proceed step by step. We show it using the example of “Traffic Police Fines”.

Check the fine by license plate and STS number. If there are fines, you will see them with all the details: violation, article of the Code of Administrative Offenses, date and place. Click "Pay".

Check the details and click “Proceed to payment”.

Pay the amount by bank card.

Download or email your receipt. This can be done later in the “Payment Receipts” section.

How does repeat exceedance work?

Above we mentioned repeated fines for speeding. But this term has a “shelf life”, and it depends on the period of punishment... Now we will explain it in a more understandable language.

• Repeated commission of an offense under the Code of Administrative Offenses implies the fact that the driver has previously been punished for the same.
• At the same time, the period of exposure is clearly defined in the Code and is the period from the date of entry into force of the resolution until the expiration of one year after its full execution: full payment of the fine or the end of the period of deprivation of rights.

Let's give an example.

1. You were driving a car and moving along the highway at a speed of 135 km/h when the speed limit was 90.
2. On March 1, 2021, a camera recorded you exceeding 40-60 km/h and issued you a fine under Part 3 of Article 12.9 in the amount of 1,000 rubles.
3. You received the letter on March 12, therefore, on March 23 the fine came into force.
4. You took advantage of the opportunity to pay it at a discount and closed the debt on March 18.
5. Thus, until March 18 of next year you will be considered subject to punishment and, if you are caught again on camera or in the hands of a traffic police inspector with a speed limit of 40-60, then you will be charged not from 1 to 1.5 thousand, but from 2 to 2.5 thousand rubles under Part 6 of Article 12.9.

But the most important thing is that where deprivation of rights is provided for repeated violations, if the excess is recorded by a photographic camera, this type of punishment cannot be imposed - only a fine. Therefore, parts 6 and 7 of Article 12.9 provide for a range of penalties from a fine to imprisonment.

How to appeal a speeding ticket in 2021

When can you challenge? Fines for speeding are not always fair. There are several situations when a fine is worth appealing:

• the camera was wrong. For example, you miscalculated the license plate number and measured someone else’s speed - this also happens;
• another person was driving the car. This happens when you have already sold the car or the car is yours, but a relative or acquaintance was driving;
• There were several fines in one segment. Sometimes cameras mistakenly fine several times for one violation;
• The car was traveling on a tow truck. Sometimes this happens: the speed of the tow truck is exceeded, and the owner of the car he was transporting is fined.

How to dispute. In the first 10 days from the date of the violation, prepare a complaint to the traffic police. The application must include:

• addressee - the position and name of the head of the department whose employee issued you the fine. This can be found out by calling the phone number indicated on the decree. If it is difficult to find out the name, simply write to the head of the regional traffic police department - his name is on the website;
• your data - name, place of residence and telephone number;
• signature “Complaint” in the center;
• the circumstances of what happened and your arguments;
• request to cancel the fine;
• applications that prove innocence;
• date and signature.

The complaint must be brought to the nearest traffic police department in person or sent by regular mail. The inspection responds according to the law within 10 days.

Use the complaint template to cancel the fine

New fines for exceeding the limit are already in effect – is this true?

No. The last change in penalties for traffic violations in terms of speed limits occurred 8 years ago, and since then not a single amount from the table of penalties has changed.

However, you will find conflicting information on the Internet, including that allegedly from January 1, 2021, there will be a significant increase in traffic police fines for speeding - some of them will increase, according to publications, 6 times, others - a little less.

Any information spreading on the Internet that new fines for excess will appear on January 1 is not true and fake. This will definitely not happen from the beginning of the new year. But later in 2021, an increase in the size of sanctions may still await Russian drivers.

Liability for non-payment

If you do not pay the fine within 70 days from the date of the decision, the traffic police will transfer the case to the bailiffs. After this, the fine will increase and it will most likely be written off from the account. There are worse consequences.

The fine will be increased by 1000 rubles. When the bailiff receives the case from the traffic police, he will initiate enforcement proceedings. After this, a new notice will be sent to the debtor. If the fine is not paid after 5 days, an enforcement fee will be added - at least 1000 rubles.

They will withdraw money from the account. The bailiff will take the case to court. Based on the results of the review, the judge usually decides to write off the money from the account.

Rights will be limited. In some cases, they may limit the rights, double the fine, seize property, or prohibit the debtor from traveling abroad. For more information about the consequences, read the article about unpaid fines.

Remember

1. The speed limit for a passenger car in the city is 60 km/h, on the highway - 90, on the highway - 110, in the yard - 20 km/h.
2. Sometimes the restriction is different - it is additionally written on the sign in a red circle.
3. If you exceed the speed limit by 20 km/h or more, you will be fined 500 rubles.
4. For speeding too high or repeated violations, the driver's license will be revoked. But to do this, it must be recorded by an inspector on the road, and not a camera.
5. In case of fines from cameras, the license is not deprived, but the smallest fine is assigned.
6. If the camera or inspector made a mistake, appeal the fine within the first 10 days. To do this, file a complaint and send it to the traffic police.
7. In the first 20 days, the fine can be paid with a 50% discount on “Traffic Police Fines”.

Fine in 2021

Violation of the parameters stated in the traffic rules is an administrative offense for which a sanction is provided. In 2021, this is a fine in the range of 500 - 5000 rubles. Its size varies depending on the frequency of violations and the speed used.

Relationship between speed and fine amount

Important!

A fine is not the only legal measure of influence on an offender. If you exceed the speed by 20 km/h or more, severe sanctions may be applied to the driver in the form of deprivation of your license, do not forget about this and obey the speed limit.

Speed ​​fine from camera

If an offense that includes speeding is recorded on camera, then liability may be established. Deprivation of rights for a violation recorded accordingly is a common occurrence. We propose to consider the specifics of applying sanctions in such cases.

Rules that must be followed:

1. It is unacceptable to deprive rights using this method of recording a violation.
2. If it is necessary to apply an article with deprivation of a license, an alternative measure is used - a maximum fine.
3. If deprivation of rights is not provided for violations, then a minimum fine is established.

Penalties for offenses recorded by cameras

Many drivers are accustomed to such a concession as a discount for timely payment of an administrative penalty. If you repay it within 20 days, starting from the date of the decision, the amount is halved. For offenses that are characterized by repetition, it will not be possible to obtain a 50% exemption. Investigations for primary violations are covered by the exemption.
