Unreadable numbers
Drivers and motorcyclists should note that their license plates must always be legible. Also, their numbers must be standard and without any violations. If one of the points is violated, then he cannot avoid monetary punishment.
If the number is not installed at all in its proper place, the owner of the car/motorcycle will be deprived of his license.
Unreadable numbers are caused by the impossibility of reading them from a distance of 20 meters by the inspector's eye. In the morning and during the day, both the front and rear license plates should be clearly visible, in the evening and at night - only the rear ones.

Putting the laws in order
The need to correct the existing Road Traffic Rules (TRAF) was required to bring them into compliance with existing legal acts and international laws in force on the territory of the Russian Federation. Amendments are being made to the List of faults and conditions under which the operation of vehicles is prohibited. This document is an annex to the current traffic regulations and regulates control over the technical condition of vehicles. All introduced requirements are already reflected in GOSTs or in the current Technical Regulations of the Customs Union. However, they were not included in the traffic regulations, which led to disputes between law enforcement officers, lawyers and motorists over the validity of applying penalties against drivers who had been driving faulty cars for years. Now there is a need to reflect the existing requirements in the new edition of the Road Traffic Rules (TRAF) in order to get rid of misunderstandings on the part of motorists.
The new edition of the traffic rules has appeared on the legal information website regulation.gov.ru and is open for discussion.
How to pay off a debt for a violation
Even if you paid your fine on time, you may be on the list of debtors. The reason for this is that the financial institution through which the payment was made is not connected to the list of GIS GMP - State Information System on State and Municipal Payments. There is a known case when five hundred people were transferred to the list of debtors, but upon further investigation it turned out that they all paid the fine on time, but the financial institutions through which payments were made were not connected to the GIS GMP. These institutions included Alfa-Bank and VTB.
How to make payment easier and more correctly:
- You can pay the fine on the traffic police website
- Using Yandex wallet, WebMoney, etc.
- At the traffic police department
