Fines for traffic violations for individuals and legal entities


Who is responsible for traffic police fines for legal entities?

A fine can be issued to the driver or the owner - in the case of a company car, this is a legal entity. A fine is possible even if the tenant or hired driver violated the rules.

Entity. Fines for violations of rules committed in a company car are most often issued to the company. This is due to the fact that most violations are recorded by a camera, but it does not know who is driving, and the fine is tied to the owner.

Fines for a legal entity for violating traffic rules are the highest, they are measured in tens and hundreds of thousands of rubles. In order not to pay a large amount, the organization has the right to challenge the fine and identify the real offender or deduct the fine from the employee’s salary. There are exceptions when this is prohibited:

  • force majeure circumstances, such as a collision of several vehicles in the same lane;
  • extreme necessity, for example when the driver was trying to avoid a rockfall.

A driver driving a company car may receive a fine personally if the car is stopped by a traffic police officer. The inspector will record the violation and enter the license number into the protocol - the decision will be issued to the individual.

Official of the organization . The Code of Administrative Offenses contains more than 20 fines that can be imposed on an official - for example, on the person responsible for releasing cars onto the line. As a rule, such fines are lower than for legal entities. Among them:

  • release of a machine without registration, technical inspection or with malfunctions;
  • allowing a drunk driver or a person without a license to drive;
  • installation of false license plates, illegal flashing lights;
  • driving a heavy truck with violations;
  • violation of the rules for transporting children.

The most important thing you need to know about imposing penalties for legal entities!

So, the first thing you need to know is that a legal entity is subject to the same traffic police fines as drivers, if the organization is the culprit.

However, for example, in any case, only the driver of the vehicle will be prosecuted for not wearing a seat belt - a fine of 1,000 rubles. But for fake license plates, for example, a driver will be prosecuted for driving with such license plates (deprivation of a driver’s license), and the legal entity will be punished separately with a fine of up to half a million rubles.

In general, the organization provides the following rules for imposing penalties for violations of traffic rules and other regulations.

  • If a specific article of the Administrative Code does not contain a separate fine for a legal entity, this does not mean that punishment will not follow. For example, a sanction for speeding will be assigned to the organization. Another thing is that the amount of the fine in this case will be standard - from 500 to 5,000 rubles (Article 2.10 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).
  • If an article of the Code provides only for the deprivation of rights, then only drivers are prosecuted under it. For example, a legal entity cannot be held liable for driving while intoxicated, since it is the driving that is punishable, and this was carried out by the driver.
  • For one violation, both the driver, the legal entity, and the responsible official can be punished at once. Another example: if the taxi does not have special checkers, then all participants in this violation can be prosecuted under Article 11.14.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
  • For any type of company reorganization (merger, division, accession, transformation, and so on), if the violation occurred before, and the punishment should be imposed after, then the traffic police fine is almost always assigned to the legal entity that began to exist after such a reorganization. Moreover, regardless of whether the presence of a violation during the merger was known. When dividing, the fine goes to the legal entity whose ownership of the car remains.

Imposing sanctions on organizations

Fines from photo cameras

As you know, financial sanctions come to car owners through automatic detection of violations. And here, if the car belongs to the organization and is registered in its name, then fines from the cameras will be sent to the legal entity.

But here we have good news for you - there are no increased sanctions for legal entities for general violations that are recorded by automatic means. Unless for violations in the Platon system, in case of excess weight (on automatic scales on the road), such fines from cameras will be issued to legal entities as car owners.

Amounts of traffic police fines for legal entities

The fine for legal entities is often higher than for an individual driver, but it may be the same. Let's look at examples.

For hitting the lawn. This fine is set by regional authorities. For example, in Moscow, for hitting a lawn, the company owner of the car will be fined 300 thousand rubles. The fine for a driver will be 5 thousand rubles, for an official - 30 thousand rubles.

For unpaid parking. Such a fine in Moscow is imposed by the Administrator of the Moscow Parking Space (AMPP) or the Moscow Administrative Road Inspectorate (MADI). Its size is the same for individuals and legal entities - 5 thousand rubles.

In the regions, fines are lower: in St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg - 3 thousand rubles, in Kazan - 2.5 thousand, in Krasnodar and Perm - 1 thousand rubles. We wrote in detail about fines for unpaid parking.

For the unpaid Plato system. “Platon” is a system for collecting tolls for heavy trucks on federal highways. The state collects money from them and uses it to build and repair roads. If you don’t pay, you will be fined 5 thousand rubles the first time, and 10 thousand rubles the second time. For legal entities the amounts are the same.

See the full table of fines for drivers, officials and legal entities.

International shipping

In this direction, Russian carriers will also have a new type of offense. Namely: they will be able to fine those who carry out international transportation without a MAP card .

Apparently, this refers to those cases when a carrier who has received a MAP gives the card to someone who does not have it . Now only the first one can be punished—a warning or a license revoked. Anyone who used someone else's card cannot be held accountable.

With the new Code of Administrative Offenses, such an opportunity will appear. Moreover, in addition to fines, confiscation of the car , and the fines for drivers will reach 20 thousand rubles , for officials - 75 thousand rubles , for individual entrepreneurs - 100 thousand rubles , for legal entities - 400 thousand rubles .

How to track traffic police fines for legal entities

Checking traffic police fines for legal entities by mail. The traffic police and other government agencies notify you of fines by mail. A letter with a decision on an administrative offense arrives at the company’s legal address. However, sometimes letters do not arrive, so it is better to regularly check fines online.

Check online. This can be done at:

  • official website of the traffic police. Click on the “Check fines” banner on the main page, enter the license plate number and vehicle registration certificate number of the vehicle you want to check. You will have to check one machine each time.
  • through the mass fine check service. Sign an agreement with the “Staff Traffic Police Fines” service and receive up-to-date information about fines for all the company’s cars at once.
