Responsibility for violating the deadlines for registering a vehicle if caught behind the wheel will range from 500 to 800 rubles. The amount of the fine is provided for in Article 12.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. In case of repeated violation, the sanctions against the driver will be harsher - a 5,000 ruble fine or a ban on driving for 1 to 3 months.

A driver who is caught with an expired vehicle registration, or in fact, without one, is given 70 days to pay the fine. Of these, 10 are for the decision to come into force, another 60 days for the payment of the fine. If during this period the motorist does not fulfill his obligations, the amount of the penalty will double or the offender will be arrested for 15 days or sent to compulsory labor for up to 15 hours.

Thus, if the car is not registered on time, the driver will be in trouble. And without paying the fine, you will not be able to register the vehicle.
