For what violations will a driver's license be revoked in 2021?

A complete list of violations that are best avoided by drivers

At first glance, it may seem that a driver can lose his driver’s license only for very serious traffic violations, such as driving beyond a double solid line or driving a car while drunk. However, this is not a complete list of violations of the Traffic Rules, for which you can become a pedestrian, and in some cases also lose a significant amount of money in the form of a fine. But let's start with those traffic violations that lie on the surface.

What does deprivation of rights mean?

Let us immediately reassure drivers who have debts - bailiffs do not have the right to take away their licenses.
But they can impose a ban on the use of the ID. To do this, the case is sent to court, where the possibility of limiting the use of rights is decided. If all conditions are met, the court makes a positive decision and issues a resolution to the bailiffs. And they then transfer it to the traffic police, where the information is entered into the database. In this case, the rights themselves remain with the owner. It turns out that the “deprivation” is just actual. But we do not recommend driving a car with such a document - punishment is provided for under Article 17.17 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, which deals with ignoring decisions from enforcement proceedings. For this you will have to lose your license for a year or be forced to perform compulsory work for a period of up to 50 hours.

The fact of violation will be detected the first time the vehicle is stopped by a police officer.

When a traffic police officer charges a violation that entails deprivation of rights: what to do?

The compliance of traffic police officers with the procedure for registering an offense entailing deprivation of rights depends on the validity of the evidence base they have collected.

Follow the following procedure for communicating with a traffic police officer if you are charged with a violation that entails deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle. At the same time, the specific reason for which a driver’s license is revoked does not matter – the recommendations are universal for all cases.

1. Require a certificate confirming that the protocol is indeed drawn up by a government representative in uniform.
2. The official must introduce himself and state the reason for the stop.
3. Before drawing up a protocol on a violation, the citizen must be explained his rights.
4. If possible, you should make an audio or video recording of the entire procedure of interaction with the inspector from the stop to the drawing up and signing of the protocol.
5. Before signing a procedural document, you must carefully re-read it and check for content: whether the citizen really committed the offense described in the protocol, whether the circumstances of the offense are correctly stated. If not, you should state your version in the “comments” column of the protocol.
6. If the protocol was drawn up with the involvement of witnesses, it should be ensured that all the employee’s actions fall within the field of view of the witnesses and it is explained to them why they were involved.
7. If intoxication is suspected, it is worth inspecting the device that will be used to take a sample of exhaled air. When the verification was carried out, was the integrity of the device compromised? If the analysis shows slight excesses of the norm, you need to insist on a medical examination. This procedure must be carried out in an institution that has the right to test blood for the presence of alcohol or drugs.
8. If the protocol is drawn up in another region, different from the citizen’s place of permanent residence, then you can petition to transfer the materials to the authority or court at the place of his residence.

In any case, the more errors are identified in the actions of officials at the pre-trial stage, the greater the chances of winning in court and avoiding punishment in the form of confiscation of the driver's license for a certain period.

General provisions

A driver's license today is a special document that gives the right to drive a car. Moreover, a certain set of categories has been established for different types of transport.

Accordingly, driving category “C” vehicles with only category “B” open will be unacceptable.

That is why it is important to familiarize yourself in advance with what the categories generally are and what they are.

Moreover, in the absence of a driver’s license, it will be directly prohibited to drive a car.

The reasons for this can be very different. Most often today this occurs for driving while intoxicated, as well as due to certain violations (driving into oncoming traffic, etc.).

It is also important to note that today it is possible to deprive a driver’s license only through the courts. Previously, the traffic police could confiscate the license right on the spot after a violation.

This will prevent problems. Also, you should not allow situations where your driver’s license is revoked.

It would be extremely difficult to challenge a court decision regarding the deprivation of a driver’s license. Therefore, you need to familiarize yourself with all the subtleties and features of the registration procedure in advance. This will prevent many difficulties. As well as the costs of conducting a trial.

What it is

A driver's license is a special document that has a form established at the legislative level.

It is important to note that the process of obtaining a driver’s license should be completed fairly quickly. Today there are several ways to obtain them.

For some time now, the reverse side of a driver's license has become more complex.

In addition to the usual categories, various subcategories began to be used - information about them is also indicated on the driver’s license.

It is best to familiarize yourself with all of them in advance. This will avoid problems.

The driver's license itself can be used not only to confirm the right to drive a car. But also as proof of identity.

It has been established that the validity period of the VA is only 10 years.

Otherwise, using a car with an expired license is equivalent to driving without a license at all.

Which entails a fine of 3-5 thousand rubles and towing of the car.

There is a standard list of situations when such a measure of influence is applied. It is worth familiarizing yourself with this list to avoid such situations.

It must be remembered that the list of grounds for deprivation of a driver’s license of any category is quite extensive.

In addition to the situations outlined above, deprivation on other grounds may also occur.

There is a special document that outlines the basic points regarding the revocation of a driver’s license. If possible, you should read all of them carefully.

This will prevent many problems and difficult situations.

Moreover, in some cases, only a certain fine is imposed for individual violations.

It is important to carefully study all legislative norms and avoid situations where deprivation occurs. Often, deprivation occurs after a serious accident.

Punishment for not allowing a car with special signals to pass

After a wave of information in the media and social networks in 2021, it would seem that the issue of giving priority in travel to cars with color schemes applied to the body and with a blue flashing light and sound alarm turned on has subsided. However, repetition is the mother of learning. Failure to provide priority when passing such a vehicle is punishable by a fine of 500 rubles or deprivation of a driver’s license for a period of 1 to 3 months.

By the way, not everyone knows how to behave at an intersection, in a situation where the traffic light is red and a car with special signals is behind you. We wrote out the “guide” with the help of traffic police officers.

Grounds for deprivation

Drivers' rights to drive a vehicle may be restricted due to debts amounting to more than 10,000 rubles. And this is the most important condition.

According to the law, the basis for deprivation may be the formation of debts for the following reasons:

• Alimony. If a parent does not fulfill his obligations to provide financial support for the child, he may be deprived of the right to drive a vehicle.
• Fines. Failure to pay fines will result in a ban on driving in 2021.
• Damage caused. This refers to property or moral damage caused by criminal acts.
• Damage caused as a result of the loss of a breadwinner. If the driver does not compensate for the damage caused as a result of the loss of a breadwinner, this will become grounds for deprivation of his license.

But they won’t deprive you of your license for debt on loans - and this is one of the good news for many drivers. It was proposed to include this clause in the bill, but so far credit debt is not a reason for restricting rights.

The procedure for imposing penalties

Some drivers, who are not aware of the procedure for confiscating a driver’s license, mistakenly believe that the loss of this right occurs immediately after drawing up a report by a traffic police inspector.

No traffic police inspector, regardless of his position, has the right to take away his main document from the driver. Only the judiciary has this ability.

The procedure for revocation of a driver's license consists of the following steps:

1. When establishing a violation of traffic rules, the traffic police inspector must draw up an appropriate protocol in the presence of the driver. In case of disagreement with the inspector’s decision, the driver has the right to make an entry about this in the protocol.
2. After drawing up a protocol, the inspector must release the driver without confiscating any documents from him, if he is not intoxicated.
3. The court hearing must take place within 20 days from the date of drawing up the protocol. Until this moment, the offending driver is a full participant in the traffic.
4. If the judge makes a decision not in favor of the offending driver, then the latter is obliged to surrender his driver’s license to the traffic police within 3 working days. The appeal period in case of disagreement with the court decision is 10 days.

Sometimes some drivers use fake documents after losing their right to drive a vehicle.

Read more about how to check your eligibility for deprivation.

Authorized bodies

It was mentioned above who can deprive a driver’s license - this is the court. After drawing up a protocol, traffic police officers within 3 working days transfer the case to the magistrate’s court closest to the place of the violation. The driver has the right to file a petition to have his case examined at his place of registration.

Find out all the details of the trial procedure for deprivation of a driver's license.

Strategy for protecting your interests

Next, we will figure out what to do if you are deprived of the right to drive a vehicle.

Procedure:

1. Do not argue with the traffic police inspector under any circumstances or leave the scene of the violation without his permission.
2. Put it in the protocol that will allow you to use the help of lawyers.
3. Independently find witnesses, video recorders and video cameras for their further use in court in your defense.
4. Participate in court proceedings in person.

Let's look at how to avoid deprivation of rights. There are no guaranteed methods. Only video recordings or testimony of witnesses can help. After drawing up the protocol, put a dash in all empty columns and indicate your disagreement with the inspector. If inaccuracies or violations are detected in the preparation of the protocol, the judges make a decision in favor of the drivers.

If the court decision is not made in favor of the offender, then the latter has to think about what to do if his driver’s license is revoked.

The period of the ban on driving a vehicle is counted from the moment the driver’s main document is submitted to the traffic police department at the place of residence.

The law does not provide for early receipt of a certificate, so violators will have to wait until the end of the deadline set by the court.

What is regulated

The Code of Administrative Offenses establishes the amount of time during which a driving ban will apply.

In addition to those mentioned above, there are also other legislative documents within the framework of which the deprivation of a driver’s license takes place.

But it is worth noting that the process of making a court decision in each case is usually standard. Moreover, the meeting itself is not even held.

It is worth familiarizing yourself in advance with all the regulatory documents that determine the regime for depriving a driver’s license.

This will allow you to independently protect your own rights and interests in court, as well as when contacting the traffic police.

Driving ban in absentia

Future drivers should be aware that for driving a vehicle without a permit, they may be deprived of their driver's license in absentia.

Absentee punishment is applied to adult and minor drivers who have not yet passed the traffic police exams and, accordingly, should not drive a car.

If this fact is confirmed, they will be fined 5,000 rubles; If there has been a violation of traffic rules, for which the suspension of a driver’s license is provided for, then in court the perpetrator will be deprived of them in absentia for the period established by law. The period of deprivation begins to be calculated from the date of successful passing of all exams in the traffic police.

For what debts can a driver's license be revoked in 2021?

The second important condition for deprivation of rights is the driver’s refusal to repay the debt. If he voluntarily contributes funds and does not refuse to pay off his debts, then this measure cannot be applied to him. The right to drive a vehicle is limited only to those who oppose their obligation to pay fines, alimony and other types of penalties.

First of all, the bailiffs are obliged to notify the debtor that if the debt is not repaid, then the penalties prescribed by the court will be applied to him. A 5-day period is given for this, during which the driver can agree to voluntarily pay the debt. If there is no action on the part of the debtor, the resolution comes into force.

One important point is that the driver is warned in advance that he will take part in the trial. To do this, he is notified in one of several ways:

• notification is sent by mail to addresses known to the bailiff;
• the notice is compiled electronically and sent to the addressee by email.

But the bailiffs do not particularly understand whether the notice was delivered to the addressee. It is considered received even if the party involved in the trial does not appear to receive the summons.

You can return the right to drive a vehicle if you meet the only condition - repayment of the debt. As soon as the entire required amount is paid, the bailiffs will lift the restrictions, and the former debtor will be able to drive a car.

After repaying the debt, you will need to contact the FSSP and present a receipt for payment. This will be the basis for lifting restrictions. No additional actions are necessary (as with a regular deprivation of rights).

So, in 2021, debtors may be left without a license to drive a vehicle. And it will be possible to regain the opportunity to drive again only after repaying the debt.

Since January 15, 2021, the Russian government has developed a system for restricting the validity of a driver’s license, which should be introduced by bailiffs as a last resort measure against a malicious debtor. This became possible after the introduction of innovations to Federal Law No. 229 in the form of additions and changes to the relevant articles of the law. Article 67.1 clearly states cases of deprivation (restriction) of the driver’s license of citizens who are non-payers and debtors who have the status of individual entrepreneurs.

Restriction on the use of a driver's license is a temporary measure of influence on debtors during the period of repayment of the debt. This means that a person will not be able to drive any vehicle, whether owned or registered to another person. It turns out that for the application of this clause of the law, the form of ownership does not matter. Moreover, in 2021, this applies to any type of transport: land, water and even air, if a citizen owns one.

A new article 67.1 has been added to the text of the federal law “On Enforcement Proceedings”. It contains part 2, which lists cases of debt obligations for which the judicial executive authorities may introduce restrictions on the use of a driver’s license in 2021. Such cases include the following types of debt obligations:

• unwillingness to pay child support;
• non-payment of compensation for injury to health or loss of a breadwinner in the family;
• non-payment of moral and property damage caused during the commission of a crime;
• ignoring non-property requirements regarding the upbringing of children;
• avoiding payment of administrative fines for traffic violations.

All this is provided that the amount of debt must be higher than 10,000 rubles.

Mainly, Article 67.1 of Federal Law No. 229-FZ “On Enforcement Proceedings” is aimed at resolving the issue of persistent defaulters of social debts, in particular alimony arrears. After all, it is difficult to find measures to influence a person who does not want to pay his child the amount required by law. The inability to drive a car will be a serious circumstance to make the debtor think about it and start paying the debt. For many mothers raising children alone, this law is their last hope for money. It is still too early to talk about the effectiveness of this effect. After all, this is a last resort measure that is not used often.

Within one day after paying the entire amount of the debt and presenting documents confirming this, the right to drive must be restored, all restrictions are lifted, and the owner can again use his car. Information is sent to the traffic police about the lifting of the restriction on driving a vehicle for a given citizen. Bailiffs are obliged to ensure the timely application of court decisions, and if they are carried out, monitor the removal of these decisions.

Due to the fact that it is not a deprivation of driving rights, but only a temporary suspension of their validity, there is no need to additionally retake the theoretical exam at the traffic police or undergo a full medical examination again. The bailiff will promptly submit information about the removal from the database of records of previous restrictions that need to be removed.

It is advisable not to take matters to extreme measures. Do not allow a debt of more than 10,000 rubles. You can track your debts on the website of the Federal Bailiff Service. There is a database of current enforcement proceedings. You will be able to get all the information on your debts. Try to negotiate with the creditor about deferment and installment plan of the debt. If you cannot avoid a restrictive measure, contact an experienced lawyer. They will help you quickly get your rights back in a short time.

Today, traffic police officers can deprive a driver’s license only for certain types of violations. It is worth considering this issue in advance.

And also avoid violations that can generally lead to consequences such as deprivation of a driver’s license. Today there are many features.

Important questions that are best worked through in advance include the following:

• by timing;
• what is the order;
• in case of repeated violation;
• how can I return the document?
• important aspects;
• what is regulated.

By timing

Today, the period of revocation of a driver's license can vary quite significantly.

There is a standard list of grounds for deprivation. At the same time, there are also a number of points that primarily affect the possible period of revocation of a driver’s license.

The main points that primarily affect the period of deprivation include:

1. The reason why a protocol was drawn up regarding the deprivation of a driver's license.
2. Are there any consequences for the situation that results in the deprivation?
3. Whether the violation took place previously.

In this case, if necessary, it will be quite simple to check whether a particular citizen has previously been deprived of a driver’s license.

This can be done literally in a few minutes, without getting up from your computer - today there are a large number of services that allow you to carry out the procedure.

What is the order

Previously, traffic police drivers had the right to confiscate a driver’s license right on the road.

If a violation was detected, a protocol was drawn up and a temporary permit to use the car was issued.

That is why many citizens believe that they can simply not surrender their license after receiving it.

But there is one very important nuance in this case - the countdown of the period for deprivation of a driver’s license begins precisely from the date when the driver’s license was handed over to the traffic police. The driver must do this independently.

The very procedure for depriving a citizen of the right to drive a vehicle for any reason, regardless of the reason and section of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, is entirely standard.

Today, the process of issuing a court decision to deprive a driver’s license is quite simple and standard. The decision is usually made with minimal time.

Nevertheless, if a citizen believes that his rights have been violated, then he should try to resolve the situation by filing an appropriate application.

Separately, it is worth noting that the process of deprivation of a driver’s license often occurs repeatedly in our country. This is especially often associated with alcohol consumption.

Reasons for withdrawal

Life in modern society is increasingly accelerating, and a car in it has long been not a luxury, but an everyday means of transportation, and for some, also a means of earning money. Therefore, any driver needs to know in what cases their driver’s license is revoked.

Chapter 12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, which regulates the application of penalties for violators of traffic rules, provides for the forced confiscation of a driver’s license in 20% of cases.

In some cases, confiscation is mandatory, in others the driver can only get away with a large fine.

To find out for which traffic violations your driver’s license is revoked, you should first group them:

1. Violations that result in mandatory revocation of a driver's license, such as driving after consuming alcoholic beverages.
2. Failure to comply with the rules for which the confiscation of a driver's license is an alternative measure of punishment instead of imposing a monetary fine, for example, for driving against traffic on a one-way lane, instead of a six-month deprivation of the right to drive, a fine of 5,000 rubles may be imposed.
3. Loss of the right to drive a vehicle for a repeated violation by the driver.

Now let’s look in more detail at why the right to drive vehicles is deprived for six months, a year or more: the table shows the type of violation and the corresponding punishment.

Type of traffic violationDuration of loss of the right to drive a vehicle (months)

It should be noted that for driving while intoxicated, in addition to the deprivation of a driver’s license, the culprit is subject to a fine of 30,000 rubles, and for a repeated violation of this type - 50,000 rubles.

Below we list a list of violations of traffic rules, for which deprivation of rights or an alternative punishment in the form of a fine is provided.

Type of traffic violation Duration of loss of the right to drive a motor vehicle (months) Amount of fine (RUB)

Accident causing personal injury

Let's consider a situation where your license was revoked for causing harm to health in an accident. For causing minor and moderate harm to health in an accident due to non-compliance with the Traffic Rules, punishment in the form of a fine or confiscation of a driver’s license is applied in accordance with the requirements of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. In case of severe consequences of an accident due to the fault of the driver, justice is guided by the norms of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Suspension of the right to drive vehicles applies in both cases.

It should be noted that deprivation of the right to drive vehicles for damage to the health of third parties is carried out on the basis of a cause-and-effect relationship with the fact of causing injury.

For example, during an accident at an intersection controlled by a traffic light, an unbelted passenger in a car whose driver entered the intersection when the traffic light was green was injured. In this case, the driver who drove through a red traffic light and caused a collision will be found guilty of causing injuries to a passenger. It is to him that such a measure as suspension of the driver’s license will be applied.

The guilt of a driver who transported a passenger who was not wearing a seat belt, contrary to the requirements of the rules, is completely excluded if there is no cause-and-effect relationship between the violation he committed and the injuries caused. He can only be fined 1,000 rubles for not fastening a passenger's seat belt.

Violation of parking rules

There is another excess that is unpleasant for drivers - this is the situation when a driver’s license is revoked for illegal parking, although only fines are usually applied for this type of traffic violation. This is possible if the driver “parks” his car on railway tracks or a crossing, which will be tantamount to violating the rules for passing railway crossings.

Violation of cargo transportation rules

The movement of overloaded trucks on asphalt is one of the main reasons for the intensive destruction of the road surface or the formation of deep ruts on it. Drivers often drive overloaded, trying to earn more money.

Deprivation of rights for overloading as a punishment for it is used as an alternative to punitive measures. The fact of this violation must be established and recorded at stationary or mobile weight control stations.

Ban on driving for medical reasons

According to changes to the Road Safety Law, which began to apply in 2014, drivers are periodically required to undergo a medical examination. If serious illnesses are discovered that affect the driver’s reaction, behavior or assessment of the traffic situation on the road, this may lead to the deprivation of a driver’s license for medical reasons.

In addition to a medical examination before passing the traffic police exam to obtain the right to drive vehicles, all drivers must undergo a medical examination in the following order:

1. When replacing a driver's license after the expiration date - once every 10 years.
2. To return a previously confiscated driver's license.
3. All drivers whose violations fall under the articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation are required to undergo a medical examination.
4. Professional drivers are required to undergo a medical examination when applying for a job, and then every two years.

Using LED lamps

Automakers are increasingly using LED technology in their new models, and there are quite a few cars on the road with LED headlights. There was even a fashion for LED optics, which many drivers began to follow, installing such equipment themselves.

But any technical innovation must be tested, verified and approved for use. Therefore, on automobile forums, drivers are trying to find out whether LED lamps are deprived of their rights and how to legalize their installation if it was done independently.

According to traffic regulations, the use of LED lights is allowed only on those vehicles in which the installation of such lighting is provided for by the design and carried out at the manufacturing plant.

Thus, the process of deprivation of a driver’s license can be initiated by traffic police officers due to the unauthorized installation of similar lighting devices on vehicles that were standardly equipped with halogen headlights by the manufacturer.

Refusal of medical examination

To apply an administrative penalty, the fact of driving while intoxicated must be established by the results of a medical examination conducted by a narcologist. Some drivers refuse to undergo this procedure, trying to hide their state of intoxication. However, such a refusal is regarded by law as an admission of guilt.

Learn more about the consequences of refusing to refuse a medical examination.

Intoxication with narcotic substances

The punishment for driving under the influence of drugs is the same as for driving under the influence of alcohol. But it may take several days to establish the very fact of using illegal drugs in laboratory conditions.

Read about the details of the procedure for establishing drug intoxication and the procedure for depriving of rights for drug intoxication.

Debtor drivers

Russian drivers can become pedestrians, even if they have not committed a single traffic violation. Confiscation of a driver's license from January 15, 2021 can be initiated by the court if there is an overdue alimony debt or in the case of accounts payable in an amount exceeding 10,000 rubles.

We recommend that you familiarize yourself in more detail with all the intricacies of the procedure for depriving rights for debts.

Important aspects

The main aspects that you need to read carefully include:

• The period for deprivation of a driver’s license is counted from the moment it is handed over to the traffic police;
• it will not be permissible to drive a car after a court ruling and deprivation of rights;
• It is possible to obtain a license the next day after the expiration of the period for revocation of a driver’s license.

Today, the process of revoking a driver's license has a large number of subtleties. It is worth noting that this procedure is carried out within the framework of special legislation.

Therefore, you should carefully read all regulatory documents.

Punishment for leaving the scene of an accident

Quite often you can come across a situation where a driver hits a person and rushes to help him - he takes him to the hospital. Thus, the driver automatically violates traffic rules and leaves the scene of the accident and risks being left without a driver’s license. For leaving the scene of an accident, deprivation of rights for a period of one to 1.5 years, or administrative arrest for a period of up to 15 days is provided.

If you want to help a person injured in an accident and intend to take him to the hospital, then first of all inform the traffic police about the accident and your intention to take the person to the hospital and be sure to return to the scene of the accident. Otherwise, when the hospital informs the traffic police about the accident, you will be put on the wanted list and you will automatically be subject to sanctions.

Driver's License Restriction Law

Before deprivation of rights for debts in 2021, bailiffs contact the debtor and insist on paying off the debt. At this stage, you can easily avoid the introduction of restrictive measures - show your readiness to fulfill your obligations.

If the debtor does not show a desire to voluntarily get rid of his debt, then according to federal law in 2021, bailiffs are given the right to make a decision by which restrictions are imposed on a citizen on the right to use a car.

You must understand that according to the law, bailiffs do not have the ability to deprive a driver’s license; it turns out that they cannot take away a license. Bailiffs only impose temporary restrictions on their use.

If the demand for which enforcement proceedings are being conducted is not a court document or is not used in accordance with a court order, then the bailiff himself or a representative of the claimant has the opportunity to go to court with a statement to establish such a measure of influence on a person as a temporary restriction on the use of rights. After a court ruling, based on the law, the bailiffs have the opportunity to enforce such a measure of influence on the defaulter.

There is no reason to panic right away. After delivering the document, the driver has 5 legal days to quickly resolve the issue and pay the debt. After this, he presents the payment receipt to the bailiff, and a day later the rights come into effect again.

If the debtor does not agree with the decision of the bailiff, then in 2021 he can file a complaint with the court against the actions of representatives of enforcement proceedings. Moreover, the legal framework identifies a number of cases that do not make it possible to put this law into effect. Categories for which it is impossible to apply restrictions on the use of a driver’s license:

1. The use of this type of transport is the only source of income for a citizen. This happens quite often when a car helps a citizen provide for his family.
2. The debtor's family lives in a remote area, and the vehicle helps him and his relatives get home. For some settlements where there is no direct route service, this is a fairly pressing issue.
3. The debtor is recognized as a disabled person of group 1 or 2, or he supports a dependent disabled person of group 1 or 2, or a disabled child, and the car helps them move.
4. The amount of debt is less than RUB 10,000.
5. The debtor makes payments on the debt in installments, or he has obtained a deferment in payment of the debt.

If, after the introduction of a restrictive procedure, a citizen’s conditions have changed and he falls into one of the restrictive categories, then by collecting the necessary documents and presenting them to the bailiff, he will immediately receive a decision to cancel the deprivation of a driver’s license for debts. In a day, he can already get behind the wheel legally.

The calculation of the period of deprivation begins 10 days after the court decision is made, since the specified period of time is provided for appealing the decision. The procedure for returning a seized driver's license after the expiration of the deprivation period is specified in paragraph 4 of Article 32.6 of the Code of Administrative Offences. The return procedure, in accordance with clause 4.1 of the same article, provides for:

1. Passing exams on knowledge of traffic rules.
2. Passing a medical examination, as a result of which the absence of contraindications to driving vehicles must be confirmed.
3. Repayment of all existing fines for traffic violations.

If the period of deprivation has expired, and the driver has not applied for his license to the traffic police department at the place of violation or has not submitted a request to transfer the document to another department (at the place of registration, place of residence), then the driver’s license will be stored in the archives for 3 years in accordance with paragraph 5 of Article 32.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. After this, the unclaimed document will be destroyed.

For what traffic violations will your license be revoked?

Conventionally, deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle can be divided into criminal and administrative. If an offense provided for by the Code of Administrative Offenses has been committed, and it has not entailed serious consequences for the life and health of citizens, then the issue of deprivation of rights is considered within the framework of an administrative case. If there are serious consequences, the issue of deprivation of a driver's license is considered as part of a criminal case.

See more details:

• Deprivation of rights for an accident with death and grave consequences under Art. 264 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ;
• Deprivation of rights for an accident with victims under Art. 12.24 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation .

A detailed table with administrative offenses leading to deprivation of rights is discussed here .

What punishment will follow for driving a vehicle after deprivation of a driver's license?

You cannot drive a car after your driver's license has been confiscated - this is a violation of the law. If traffic police officers are caught driving without a license, punishment will follow immediately.

Fines for driving without a license after deprivation are implied in Part 2 of Article 12.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses:

• up to 15 days of arrest;
• a fine of 30 thousand rubles;
• imposition of 100-200 hours of community service.

Even if someone deprived of a driving license puts someone without a driving license behind the wheel, he will still receive 30 thousand rubles. fine

In accordance with Part 3 of Article 12.8 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Russia, punishment for drunk driving without a license implies administrative arrest for a period of 10-15 days or a fine of 30 thousand rubles. (in situations where arrest is not possible).

If the debtor ignores the requirements for the fulfillment of debt obligations, the bailiff notifies the citizen about the entry into force of a restriction on the use of the special right to drive vehicles. And notifies the traffic police about this measure. There, in turn, they enter this information into a data bank. If the debtor continues to drive the car after the decision comes into force, he will face penalties.

Punishment for speeding

who exceeds the speed limit by 60-80 kilometers per hour can be left without a driver's license . Of course, deprivation of rights in the event of such a violation is the most serious type of liability, which will most likely be applied if aggravating circumstances are identified. In other cases, the driver may receive a fine of 2 to 2.5 thousand rubles.

Exceeding the speed limit by more than 80 kilometers per hour also entails a fine, although the amount is much higher - 5,000 rubles. An alternative to a fine is deprivation of a driver's license for a period of 6 months.

If you repeatedly exceed the speed in the range of 60 kilometers per hour and above , then, if you get caught by a traffic police inspector, you will be deprived of your license. However, if your violation is caught by a traffic police camera, then you will get off with a fine of 5,000 rubles and that’s it.
