The regulatory provisions of the Code of Administrative Offenses in 2021 provide for 5 offenses that are in one way or another related to non-compliance with the legislation containing rules on compulsory MTPL insurance:

Payment of a fine for lack of compulsory motor liability insurance in 2021 can be made with a 50% discount (Part 1.3, Article 32.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses) - if you make the payment in the first 20 days after the decision is made (not entered into force).

Penalty for lack of insurance in 2021

Many situations related to car insurance are regulated by the Code of Administrative Offences. Penalties are imposed as an administrative penalty. A fine of 5,000 for driving without insurance according to the new rules is a new type of punishment that causes considerable indignation among legal entities and individuals.

According to the law, the absence of an MTPL insurance policy is a reason for issuing a fine, but this measure is provided only when a document is missing or the policy is issued with violations.

Let's consider situations where a significant fine is imposed for such actions on the part of the car owner.

We will try to answer the question whether the fine for driving without insurance in 2021 is really 5,000 rubles.

According to the latest data, penalties for driving without insurance in 2021 begin to apply only from the beginning of March. Until this day, the traffic police should have excluded erroneous data from the database. Since the amount of the penalty is significant, errors and inaccuracies can lead to the wrongful imposition of punishment and subsequent legal proceedings. The leadership of the State Traffic Inspectorate has repeatedly stated that the system with data on cars and citizens does not work fully.

The database lacks information:

1. car numbers;
2. data from the RSA database on existing insurance policies.

Without combining this information and integrating it with the operation of video cameras on the roads, the possibility of bringing violators to justice will not be available.

It turns out that the traffic police will not issue fines for driving without insurance in 2021 based on video footage.

The opportunity will become available as soon as the above conditions are met. Important! The exact start date for fines for compulsory motor vehicle liability insurance on video cameras is not indicated, but it can begin at any time. Car owners should follow events and news in this area. In Russia, citizens are accustomed to believing the latest news and everything that is reported on TV.

Regulatory framework

Regulatory regulation of the fine for driving without MTPL insurance in 2021 is carried out by the following legal acts:

• Code of Administrative Offences;
• Part 2 Art. 19 Federal Law No. 196 – on the prohibition of the use of vehicles whose owners have not purchased a compulsory motor liability insurance policy;
• Part 3 Art. 4 Federal Law No. 40 dated April 25, 2002 - on which vehicles do not need to purchase compulsory motor liability insurance policies in 2021 (for example, vehicles with a maximum speed of no more than 20 km/h or in relation to trailers passenger cars).

Insurance fines

The MTPL system has been operating in the Russian Federation for more than 16 years. The principle is that the culprit of an accident, if he has an insurance policy, can compensate for the damage to the injured party at the expense of the insurance company. Today the payment limit exceeds RUB 400,000. If the driver does not have a vehicle license, the traffic police inspector can issue him a fine an unlimited number of times.

When driving a car by a person who does not own the vehicle, the latter must also be included in the policy. A fine for driving without compulsory motor insurance in 2019 is not the only type of punishment related to car insurance. Various measures are provided for other violations:

• the policy is expired (even by a day);
• the document was issued for another car;
• fake;
• the driver is not registered.

In real situations, a lot depends on the loyal attitude of the traffic police inspector. There are often cases when violators get off with a warning, for example, they forgot their policy at home. The reason is common and, if desired, it costs traffic police officers nothing to check the car using the database and find out whether the driver has insurance or not.

When is a fine imposed for lack of compulsory motor liability insurance in 2021?

If in 2021 there is no MTPL insurance for a car at all, then a fine of 800 Russian rubles may be issued. In this case, the subject of the violation in question may be:

• as drivers of vehicles who got behind the wheel and knew that the vehicle was without insurance (the owner, who entrusted the control, did not fulfill the corresponding obligation to purchase the policy);
• as well as vehicle owners who did not enter into a “car title” agreement in violation of the requirements presented in Part 1 of Art. 4 Federal Law No. 40.

In 2021, both persons are to blame (one was driving a car without an issued MTPL policy, knowingly knowing about its absence, the other did not fulfill the insurance obligation). This means that a fine for the lack of compulsory motor liability insurance can be imposed on both persons.

Moreover, if the car was driven by a driver, but the owner was not present, then the procedure in relation to the latter is carried out as follows:

• initiate a case of an administrative offense (Article 28.1 of the Administrative Code);
• further notify the owner by registered letter, telegram or telephone message (stat. 25.15. Administrative Code) of the place and time of consideration of the case and the need to appear before the relevant traffic police official (inspector);
• and if he does not appear within the specified time frame, a protocol is drawn up in his absence in accordance with Part 4.1. stat. 28.2. Code of Administrative Offenses and is sent within 3 days to this person (a resolution in such cases is not drawn up, since Article 28.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses provides for the delivery of a copy of the resolution directly at the place where the offense was committed and does not imply its issuance without the presence of the guilty person, except in cases of detection of violations by cameras - h 3, Article 28.6 of the Administrative Code).

In relation to the driver, since he is present at the scene of the violation, a resolution is simply drawn up imposing a fine for the lack of compulsory motor liability insurance (stat. 28.6 of the Administrative Code). If you refuse to receive a copy, it will be sent by mail.

There are no clear instructions in the Code of Administrative Offenses regarding how a fine is imposed for the complete lack of compulsory motor liability insurance in 2021, if the driver and the owner are the same person. In this case, by analogy with the law, the norm of Part 2 of Art. 4.4. Code of Administrative Offences, that is, one fine of 800 rubles is imposed.

In accordance with Part 1 and Part 2 of Art. 23.1. Code of Administrative Offenses, judges do not consider cases of driving a car without compulsory motor liability insurance. One of the reasons for this is the absence of deprivation of a driver’s license or administrative arrest among the provided sanctions.

According to paragraph 5 and paragraph 6 of Part 2 of Art. 23.3. Code of Administrative Offenses, only the following are authorized to impose a fine for the lack of a compulsory motor liability insurance policy in 2021:

• traffic police officers with a special title;
• or the head of the traffic police, or his deputy, or the commander of a regiment (battalion or company) of the traffic police, or his deputy.

Fines are imposed for the absence of compulsory motor liability insurance only. That is, if there is no CASCO insurance, then no punishment will follow, since it is voluntary property insurance.

Fine for lack of MTPL insurance

Presentation of a document confirming the availability of liability insurance cannot be a reason to stop the car. But an inspector or border service officer has the right to demand a policy in the following situations:

• drawing up an accident report;
• one of the participants in the accident;
• while crossing the state border in a vehicle.

In other cases, police officers do not have the right to demand the provision of this documentation.

Please note: refusal to present an MTPL policy in cases provided for by law entails administrative liability. If the document is drawn up and you simply forgot it, you should ask your relatives to deliver it. If there is no insurance policy, you face not only compensation for damage to the victims, but also a fine for lack of compulsory motor liability insurance.

Many drivers do not take out compulsory motor liability insurance because they know that the policy may not be provided, with the exception of an accident. But such arrogance can be punished at any time. After all, electronic control will be introduced in the near future.

This is a system of security cameras, which are mainly useful in recording accidents and other violations. But these same devices are complemented by the function of license plate recognition and vehicle verification. During a brief analysis, the program identifies the owner of the car and also checks for insurance. If there is no insurance policy, the motorist will be sent a fine. And a stop by the inspector is not necessary!

Can there be no fine? Yes, the exception to the rule is drivers who have issued an MTPL 5 days before being recorded on camera. This is exactly how long it may take representatives of the insurance company to register your policy in the information database.

The police do not have the right to issue a fine for lack of insurance or even a warning in the following cases:

• driving at a speed of up to 20 km/h in a personal car;
• representatives of preferential categories - disabled people of group I. and their drivers, combatants.

These exceptions are prescribed at the legislative level. If you are not a representative of such categories, then it is worth taking out a policy. Since in case of its absence, responsibility cannot be avoided.

Motorists should remember that penalties are provided not only in the absence of a policy. The following points serve as grounds for administrative punishment:

• the insurance is expired (the policy is valid only for a certain period);
• complete lack of insurance;
• the vehicle is driven by a person not included in the insurance.

The fine for not having insurance may depend on many factors.

Some drivers ask what punishment they face for not having a compulsory motor liability insurance policy, in addition to a fine. There is no need to worry: the additional measure in the form of evacuation of the vehicle to an impound lot is not provided for by law. As we wrote above, the only situation in which a car can be seized is if the driver is not included in the insurance, and none of the persons authorized to drive this car are nearby (or are not arriving at the stop in the near future). This decision is logical, because traffic police officers cannot allow a person who is not included in the policy to continue driving: this means that it is necessary to transport the car to the parking lot until the circumstances are clarified and before the owner shows up.

Another sanction that is feared “for old times’ sake” is the removal of registration numbers (tantamount to a ban on the operation of the vehicle). In fact, this measure was canceled back in 2014, that is, neither in 2018 nor in 2021 you will face such a punishment.

Fined? You can drive further. But don't be surprised if you get stopped and fined again on the same day.

For a couple of years now, rumors have been circulating on the Internet that cameras on the roads record the driver’s lack of insurance, and you can get a fine even without communicating with a traffic police officer.

In 2021, not a single report of such a case appeared, and only in 2021 (from March 1) a fine for the lack of a policy began to be issued automatically. So now not only those who deliberately did not buy insurance are under attack, but also those who inadvertently purchased an invalid document from scammers.

The absence of a compulsory motor liability insurance policy will in any case lead to unpleasant consequences. And although the fines for this violation have not yet been increased, and no one will remove the license plates from your car, from March 1, the fine may “fly” to you automatically. Moreover, in some situations you risk having your car towed. We advise you not to take risks and purchase or renew your policy on time, and also remember your rights so that in a controversial situation you can defend them.

For forgetful citizens, in 2021 there will be a fine for driving a car without MTPL insurance, but sometimes traffic police officers limit themselves to only a warning. If the inspector cannot check the stopped driver’s insurance policy using the RSA database, he has the right to impose a fine of 500 rubles .

Important ! Today, monetary penalties are the only measure of influence on motorists who forget their insurance policy at home or do not issue it at all. Simply put, traffic police no longer have the right to remove license plates from vehicles or send cars to a impound lot.

For those who periodically forget the auto insurance form at home, it is recommended to issue an electronic policy and make several printouts. One of them should be kept in the car to avoid fines and unpleasant conversations with traffic police officers.

When is it permissible to drive without insurance?

In Part 2 of Art. 4 of Federal Law No. 40 clearly states that a 10-day “graceful” period is given during which it is permissible to drive a car without having an issued MTPL policy in 2021. The specified period begins to be calculated from the moment the vehicle:

• was purchased under a contract or other civil alienation transaction;
• was received for management or operational management.

But all the same, it is better not to delay and not wait for the last day of this 10-day period - after all, within 10 days you also need to have time to register the car with the traffic police (clause 6 of Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 399 of June 26, 2018 ) - that is, you first need to buy a policy, and then re-register the car in your name at the traffic police.

Fine for driving without MTPL insurance if you forgot it at home

There is a situation in which the owner fulfilled his insurance obligation (the policy is in place and is not expired), but simply forgot to take it with him on the road.

In the presented case, the traffic police inspector will check the database for the presence of issued compulsory motor liability insurance in relation to the specific owner, driver and vehicle and, if everything is in order:

• will issue a warning in the manner prescribed in Art. 3.4. Code of Administrative Offences;
• or he will issue a fine for driving without compulsory motor insurance in the amount of 500 rubles. (Article 3.5.).

In 2021, the inspector himself decides whether to issue a fine for driving without MTPL insurance or a warning, in accordance with the general rules for imposing penalties specified in Art. 4.1. Code of Administrative Offenses - that is, based on the presence of mitigating and aggravating circumstances, the nature of the offense, the identity of the perpetrator, his financial situation and other criteria.

Punishment for lack of OSAGO insurance policy 2021

If you do not have an MTPL policy, then the fine for MTPL 2021 will be 800 rubles for you. At the same time, traffic police inspectors will have the opportunity to check each policy against the database of the police and insurers, which negates the dubious usefulness of counterfeit policies that have become widespread recently.

Penalty for expired insurance

Now it makes no difference to the inspector whether you had insurance before, so the fine for driving without compulsory motor liability insurance in 2021, provided for overdue insurance, is subject to the same article of the Code of Administrative Offenses as the complete absence of a policy. Moreover, according to the new rules, any involvement of a car owner under the relevant article will nullify the already existing discount accumulated through driving experience and accident-free driving, so care should be taken to renew the policy in a timely manner.

For driving a vehicle by a person not included in the insurance policy, the fine amount will be lower and also amount to 500 rubles, regardless of whether the policy owner was in the car or absent.

The punishment for the lack of compulsory motor insurance in 2021 does not provide for separate sanctions for the lack of technical inspection. Moreover, the inspector generally does not have the right to check the presence of such documents without compelling reasons, so the Code of Administrative Offenses does not even provide for a fine for the lack of technical inspection.

The legislation also provides for the possibility of driving without insurance within ten days from the date of registration of the vehicle.

If you have been issued a fine, you are required to provide a receipt, which can be paid very quickly at any bank.

Fine for driving a motor vehicle by a driver not registered with OSAGO

In 2021, policyholders can enter into an MTPL agreement under the following conditions:

• driving a car only by motorists included in the MTPL policy (limited MTPL);
• or driving a car by an unlimited number of persons (Article 16 of Federal Law No. 40).

If “limited” insurance is issued, then a fine of 500 rubles will be imposed on anyone who is not included in the AGO OS policy and still gets behind the wheel of a vehicle.

According to Part 1 of Art. 12.37. The subjects of violations of the Code of Administrative Offenses are exclusively drivers, that is, it is impossible to prosecute the owner for the fact that the motorist to whom he entrusted the driving was not included in the compulsory motor liability insurance agreement.

In addition to the fine, it is possible that if an unregistered driver gets into an accident, he will also face a recourse claim from the insurer - clause “d”, part 1 of Art. 14 Federal Law No. 40.

Fine for absence of driver in MTPL

Situations often occur in which a driver who is not included in the vehicle insurance policy is driving a vehicle.

This situation is regarded as an offense established by Article 12.37 of the Code (violation of the terms of the insurance contract) and is punishable by a fine of 500 rubles .

Penalties are imposed directly on the person driving the car.

To avoid such situations, if they happen quite often, it is advisable to take out a compulsory car insurance policy without limiting the number of drivers allowed to operate the car.

However, it should be noted that the cost of such a policy will be slightly higher than in a situation with a limited number of drivers.

A fine of similar size is provided for drivers who operate a vehicle during a period not covered by the insurance policy.

Many car owners, in order to reduce their vehicle expenses, take out a policy with a limited period of use.

This means that the car cannot be used under any circumstances during the period not covered by the car insurance.

Fine for driving without MTPL insurance in 2021 for a legal entity

Vehicles in accordance with the established procedure can be registered both for individuals and legal entities.

A legal entity cannot be prosecuted for driving without compulsory motor liability insurance (part 2 of article 12.3. and part 1 of article 12.37. of the Administrative Code) (since the subject of a violation under these articles is only the driver of the vehicle, who can only be a citizen).

Accordingly, enterprises or organizations that own cars can be brought in exclusively under Part 2 of Art. 12.37. Code of Administrative Offenses - for failure to fulfill the obligation to carry out compulsory compulsory motor liability insurance.

In Part 2 of Art. 2.10. it is said that the norms of the articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses regulating liability for certain offenses apply equally to individuals and legal entities, unless otherwise stated. Since with regards to Part 2 of Art. 12.37. There are no separate rules in the Code of Administrative Offenses stating that a fine of 800 rubles is imposed exclusively on individual owners, which means that for legal entities the procedure for imposing sanctions and their amount are the same as for citizens.

Amount of fine for driving without compulsory motor liability insurance

According to Article 12.37 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, a driver can be punished for violating the rules as follows.

For lack of insurance, a fine of 800 rubles is expected. Moreover, if you pay for it within 20 days, taking into account the 50% discount, it will be 400 rubles.

In case of delay or invalidity of the document, the penalty is 500 rubles.

If a car insurance document is issued, but the driver does not have it, the inspector may warn or fine him 500 rubles.

Penalty for using compulsory motor insurance during an unspecified time period

The policyholder can buy a policy with the condition that the vehicle be used seasonally for 3 months or more. For example, if you plan to travel only in the summer - from June to August. Then these months must be indicated in block 4 of the application, which is submitted for the purpose of concluding an MTPL agreement, in the form presented in Appendix 2 to Central Bank Regulation No. 431-P dated September 19, 2014.

In this case, the insurer will calculate the premium in the presented case taking into account the coefficient KS (for example, if you use the car only 3 months a year, KS will be equal to 0.5 - see Directive of the Central Bank No. 5000-U dated December 4, 2018).

Accordingly, driving a car in months other than those indicated by the policyholder in the application will entail the imposition of a penalty for driving without compulsory motor liability insurance in the amount of 500 rubles under the same Part 1 of Art. 12.37. Code of Administrative Offences.

Again, the owner of the car cannot be held accountable for this offense - responsibility lies solely with the driver (or the driver and the owner as one person).

Repeated fine for driving a car without compulsory motor liability insurance in 2021

The Code of Administrative Offenses does not provide for a progressive scale of imposition of penalties for offenses in the field of “vehicle civil law”.

That is, repeated driving without compulsory motor liability insurance before the expiration of the period during which the person has the status of being subject to repeated punishment (Article 4.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses) does not entail an increase in penalties. Each time a corresponding violation is detected, a fine of 800 rubles (part 2 of article 12.37.) or 500 rubles (part 1 of article 12.37.) will be imposed.

There is a misconception among motorists that a fine can only be imposed once a day. Part 5 of Art. is cited as justification. 4.1. The Code of Administrative Offenses states that no one can be punished twice for the same offense. In fact, they can be fined an unlimited number of times in 1 day.

For example, in 2021, an inspector stopped a motorist and imposed a fine for lack of compulsory motor insurance. After 5 - 10 kilometers, he was stopped by another traffic police official, and again issued a fine on absolutely legal grounds - after all, the driver again violated the law, in another place, at another time, without fulfilling the obligation to prohibit driving a car without car insurance (by committing thus a new offense).

Throughout the entire period, the fine is also issued an unlimited number of times. That is, during the year they can issue 10, 20, or 100 resolutions.

Fines for leaving a car on the line

Fines for illegal release on the line are listed in Article 12.31 of the Administrative Code:

How to pay a fine imposed for violating the MTPL legislation, and is there a discount?

After the expiration of the period allotted by law for the purposes of appeal (clause 1 of Article 31.1 of the Administrative Code) - 10 days from the date of the decision, it enters into legal force.

Within 60 days from the date of entry into legal force, the fine must be paid (Part 1 of Article 32.2 of the Code of Administrative Offences), except in cases where a deferment or installment plan has been granted.

Payment of the fine for lack of compulsory motor liability insurance in 2021 can be made:

• with a 50% discount (Part 1.3, Article 32.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses) - if you make payment within the first 20 days after the decision is made (not entered into force);
• without discount - in all other cases.

The discount is available for any violations under MTPL.

Recommended payment methods:

• Public services;
• official Internet portal of the traffic police;
• in bank branches;
• at ATMs.

Please note that for offenses provided for in Article 12.31.1 of the Code of Administrative Offences, persons engaged in business activities without forming a legal entity bear administrative liability as legal entities.

How to appeal a fine issued for lack of insurance?

In 2021, an appeal against a fine for lack of MTPL insurance can be made before the expiration of 10 calendar days from the moment the resolution was issued.

The procedure for protesting is presented in Chapter 30 of the Administrative Code:

• determine where to file a complaint (since inspectors issue fines under compulsory motor liability insurance, you can bring a protest to a higher-ranking official of the traffic police or to the district judicial authority (clause 3, part 1, article 30.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses), or you can submit it directly to the inspector who issued the appeal resolution (part 1 of article 30.2 of the Administrative Code));
• become familiar with the time frame for consideration of the case (they depend on where the complaint was filed - if to a court, then 2 months, if to an official, then 10 days - Parts 1 and 1.1 of Article 30.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses) - during this time, the citizen will be informed about the date and time of appearance at the hearing of the case on imposing a fine for the lack of compulsory motor insurance;
• then the review itself is carried out in person, during which the appearance of persons participating in the process is established, rights and obligations, challenges and petitions are explained, explanations of the guilty person are heard, evidence is examined, etc.;
• finally, a decision is made on the complaint and immediately announced (Part 1 of Article 30.8 of the Administrative Code) - within 3 days a copy of it is handed over to the individual against whom the proceedings are being conducted.

complaints about a fine for driving without compulsory motor insurance can be found here.

Will there be penalties for not having camera insurance in 2021?

A pilot project to check, using automatic photo and video recording systems, whether a motorist has or does not have an issued auto insurance policy, was planned to be launched in Moscow and the Republic of Tatarstan from September 1, 2021.

However, the system did not work on the appointed date. The launch was postponed until November 1, 2021, but nothing happened on that day either.

There is no new information yet regarding when cameras will check MTPL policies in 2021, and decisions will be delivered by mail to violators.

Will state registration plates be removed if there is no compulsory motor liability insurance in 2021?

Until November 15, 2014, such an administrative measure was used as a ban on the operation of a motor vehicle for the absence of compulsory motor insurance.

It consisted of removing the State License Plates (GRP) by a traffic police official (clause 144 of Order No. 185 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation dated March 2, 2009, which has now lost its legal force). The seized signs were stored in the territorial division of the traffic police.

Within 1 day, in a car without license plates, it was possible to get to the place where the reason for the prohibition of operation was eliminated (for example, to the insurer’s office in order to issue an MTPL policy). After 1 day, movement of the car without a road protection device was possible only with the help of another vehicle (for example, a tow truck).

In 2021, license plates will not be removed for lack of insurance, as well as for other traffic violations.

Nuances

Here are some nuances that are in one way or another related to driving a vehicle without insurance or in violation of other requirements of the legislation on compulsory motor liability insurance in 2021:

• 196-FZ of July 23, 2013 approved the amount of the administrative fine under Part 2 of Art. 12.37. Code of Administrative Offenses - 800 rubles; before the adoption of this federal law, the amount of the penalty ranged from 500 to 800 Russian rubles;
• from September 2018, electronic MTPL contracts come into force no earlier than 3 days from the date of their execution - this fact must be taken into account when the expiration date of the old policy approaches, so as not to drive these 3 days without insurance and not receive a fine for driving without MTPL insurance;
• If the system with cameras does work, then fines will always come under Part 2 of the stat. 12.37. Code of Administrative Offenses for vehicle owners (Part 1, Article 2.6.1. Code of Administrative Offenses) - only an inspector can attract a driver under this same part.
