Both drivers left the crash site, one returned. Punishment for hiding from the scene of an accident

I am at fault for the accident. The victim offered to resolve the issue on the spot, without waiting for the traffic police, while he named the amount of 7 thousand rubles. I didn't refuse, but my friend and I didn't have that kind of money with us. I suggested that he drive home to give the money. He stayed near the entrance, and we went home. We got stuck in the elevator, could only get out after 40 minutes. He was gone.

The next day I got a call from the traffic police and was told that I was accused of leaving the scene of an accident, that I had disappeared. What should I do?

Lawyer's response:

The first thing you need is to demand from the traffic police officers, information on what basis you are accused of leaving the scene of an accident. When the incident was recorded (exact time), the participation of which vehicles was recorded by employees.

If only such a fact is duly confirmed (decree, protocol indicating the details of the particular car with which the collision occurred), then attention should be paid to the time of preparation of such a document:

• If possible, challenge it (especially if the time of drawing up the document does not match).
• Given your mutual decision to leave the scene of an accident, you have the right to prove a violation of the law, which defines the duties of drivers in the event of an accident (clause 2.5 of the SDA) and the injured party.

However, in practice, this fact is quite difficult to prove.

• the testimony of a friend who traveled with you;
• documentary information service department for elevator maintenance about the malfunction of the elevator in which you are stuck, indicating the time of your call to a specialist and the time for troubleshooting,
• testimonies of neighbors and elevator service specialists.
• it is possible that there is video recording of leaving the scene of an accident by two vehicles (for example, by a video recorder).

And as a conclusion, if you have the specified data, you will be able to challenge the fact of leaving (hiding) the scene of an accident by you, which will free you from liability under paragraph 2 of Art. 12.27 Administrative Code of the Russian Federation.

Other Q&A topics:

Even the most careful and attentive drivers can get into an accident, as the sad principle often works - “if you don’t crash, it’s into you.” It is impossible to insure against such a situation, although, of course, there is one option - to walk, but few modern people voluntarily part with his beloved car. According to statistics, responsible motorists get into an accident quite rarely, therefore, they are not familiar with the algorithm of behavior in such situations in practice. Imagine there is an accident. It happens to everyone? But how to behave? Dont clear. It is easy to panic here and break firewood. Some people really want to pretend that nothing happened. Leave and all. But we must understand that drivers who have chosen the tactics of an ostrich will not go unpunished. Discuss responsibility for leaving the scene of an accident.

What should be done in the event of an accident?

The age-old Russian question "what to do?" greatly excites the minds of the participants in the accident. Let's simulate the situation - two cars collided. What usually happens is that both drivers jump out of their cars and look around at their property. Inspection, as a rule, is accompanied by an abundance of obscene language and accusations of each other (moreover, who is to blame in reality, it doesn’t matter to people). Further, each necessarily makes a caustic conclusion about the driving skills of the other. Behind all this flickering and external aggression is often hidden banal fear and ignorance - what to do? It is best to keep yourself in hand and stick to a certain procedure. In the event of an accident:

1. Stop the car immediately, turn off the engine (the key must be removed and placed in your pocket so as not to get lost). Do not forget to put the car on the handbrake, that is, turn on the parking brake.
2. Notify other members traffic about an accident by turning on the emergency gang and installing a sign informing about emergency stop. According to the rules, it is located at a distance of 15 meters from the car if the collision occurred in the city, and 30 meters outside the city.
3. Take pictures of the accident site from all possible angles. Keep in mind that the pictures should be taken in such a way that the license plates of the vehicles involved in the accident are clearly visible. Photographic materials should reflect the traffic situation and damage to cars as detailed as possible. Video recording of the situation will not be superfluous.
4. Find eyewitnesses of the incident and record their details (address, phone number and full name).
5. Try to make an adequate assessment of the consequences of the accident. First of all, you should pay attention to whether there are victims. If there are injured people, give them first aid. However, if you do not have any skills in this and simply have no idea what to do, then it is better not to do anything, otherwise you can do harm. Call an ambulance and the police. Sometimes the situation develops in such a way that there is no possibility to wait for help, as a person's life is in danger. In such cases, the victims should be immediately transported to medical institution using a passing car. When a collision occurs on a road that cannot be called busy, therefore, there is no way to find a ride, you should take people to the hospital in your car. Then you need to return to the scene of the accident.
6. If the accident caused other vehicles are unable to continue moving, that is, the roadway is blocked by colliding cars, it is necessary to remove the cars from the road. Just don't forget to take photos first. If there are no casualties in the accident, then the cars should also be moved, regardless of whether they interfere or not.
7. Talk to another participant in the accident, evaluate its adequacy.
8. Decide how the documents will be processed. Depending on the situation, the following options are available:
   • When motorists involved in an accident cannot reach a consensus, you need to call the traffic police. During the conversation, it is usually suggested either to wait for the authorities at the scene of the accident, or to come to the traffic police department on your own to record and file a traffic accident.
   • If the participants in the collision have no claims against each other and there are no victims, you can “negotiate on the spot”, without involving the traffic police and the insurance company. The only point is that it is best to draw up and sign an agreement that the parties have come to a common decision and, for example, the guilty driver has compensated the other for damage in a certain amount.
   • If there are no injured people in minor accidents, it is possible to use the European protocol, that is, to file an accident without the traffic police. This is legal subject to several conditions - there are only two participants (each has a valid OSAGO policy), the parties have no disagreements, the alleged repair of an “innocent” car will cost an amount not exceeding 50,000 rubles.
   • If you are injured or killed, be sure to call the police.

Important: car owners who have not released carriageway without good reason, they can receive a fine in the amount of 1000 rubles (part 1 of article 12.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation). In case of an accident without injuries, drivers in any case are obliged to clear the road. If there are injured, then vehicles should be left at the scene of the accident, but only if they do not interfere with the movement of other vehicles.

Why can't you leave the scene of the accident?

Any accident is a stressful situation for the driver. Not all people manage to pull themselves together and act sensibly, so it often seems to some that the only right option is to leave, pretending that nothing happened. According to statistics, there are several reasons that encourage drivers to "walk" and hide:

• Fear of liability if people were injured in an accident or significant material damage was caused.
• Lack of insurance policy, driver's license, etc.
• Unwillingness to waste time on paperwork.
• The condition of the driver and accident circumstances. For example, a drunk driving, driving with a significant excess of speed, understands that a serious punishment cannot be avoided.

What will happen to those who hoped for a chance and left the scene of an accident? The outcome is rather sad - the runaway participant in most cases is recognized as the culprit of the accident. A person simply does not have the opportunity to tell how it really happened. Agree, this is logical - innocent drivers comply with the law, which clearly prohibits leaving the scene of a collision until the circumstances are clarified and paperwork is completed. And the motorist who escaped will definitely be found and punished, especially if the accident had serious consequences. IN modern society Almost every vehicle owner has DVRs, so finding an intruder who has left by car number is usually not difficult. Those who fled the scene of an accident face serious punishment - fines, deprivation of rights, arrest, criminal liability are possible.

If the driver who escaped has an OSAGO policy, then the insurance company has the right to apply regression requirements in accordance with Article 14 of Federal Law No. 40-FZ “On Compulsory Insurance of Civil Liability of Vehicle Owners”. The one who left is usually considered guilty. The insurer pays compensation to the victim, and then collects its amount from the person who left the scene of the accident.

Important: sometimes the participants in the accident agree on compensation for damage with each other in words, without resorting to calling the traffic police or drawing up any papers. Know that this option is fraught with unpleasant consequences: you will leave, and the second party will call the police and say that you have fled. Therefore, all contracts must be in writing.

Fled the scene of an accident - punishment

Probably, any motorist is concerned about the question: will you always have to answer if you left the scene of an accident? These are correct thoughts. Because in part 2 of article 12.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation it is clearly stated that only those drivers who left the scene of the accident, violating the rules of the road, face liability. The participant of the accident, who ignored the traffic rules and left after the collision, faces one of two things:

• Confiscation of a driver's license for a period of one year to one and a half years.
• Arrest for up to fifteen days.

Important: some drivers after an accident want to relieve stress in a well-known Russian way - to drink something containing alcohol. In no case should you do this, because otherwise you can get a fine of 30,000 rubles and give up your rights for a period of one and a half to two years. Such sanctions are provided for in Part 3 of Article 12.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.

People injured in an accident can file a lawsuit for compensation for moral and material damage. Depending on the consequences of an accident Other punishments are possible, which will be discussed below.

If there are victims

It is difficult to imagine that a participant in the accident will leave the victims without helping them, and calmly leave on their own business, but anything happens. A driver who has acted in this way will not only lose his driver's license for up to a year and a half, but may also be held criminally liable under article 125 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Leaving in danger", according to which the punishment for hiding from the scene of an accident in the presence of victims will be like this:

• a monetary penalty in the amount of up to 80,000 rubles (or an amount equivalent to the earnings of the violator for six months);
• compulsory work (up to 360 hours);
• correctional labor (up to 1 year);
• forced labor (up to 1 year);
• arrest (up to 3 months);
• imprisonment (up to 1 year).

In court, the offender will be assigned one of the following. Also, the perpetrators of accidents, as a result of which people were injured, are subject to criminal penalties under article 264 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation:

The result of the accident in relation to the victim	Measure of responsibility
Serious harm has been done to human health	restriction of freedom (up to 3 years); forced labor (up to 2 years); arrest (up to 6 months); imprisonment (up to 2 years).
death of a man	forced labor (up to 4 years); imprisonment (up to 5 years). + confiscation of VU for up to 3 years
Death of several people (two or more)	forced labor (up to 5 years); imprisonment (up to 7 years). + confiscation of VU for up to 3 years

If there are no casualties

When the participants in an accident were lucky enough to do without victims, this does not mean at all that there will be no responsibility for leaving the scene of an accident. How else will it be. The departed driver will become a pedestrian for a period of 1 to 1.5 years or will be arrested (up to 15 days). As a rule, the punishment depends on the presence or absence of the motorist's intent. For example, a person fled because he was intoxicated. Also affects the "reputation" of the driver - whether he was brought to administrative responsibility before or not.

Important: There is no fine for leaving the scene of an accident.

If there are dead

In this case, as a rule, the perpetrator will face criminal liability under Articles 125 and (or) 264 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The punishment provided for by them is discussed above - in the event of the death of people, a motorist may lose not only rights, but also freedom. And the fact that the driver intentionally left the scene of the accident would be classified as an aggravating circumstance.

Important: if, through a medical examination, it is confirmed that the timely provision of medical care could save a person’s life, then the perpetrator of the accident will be liable in court under several criminal articles.

If not guilty

Hiding from the scene of an accident, the driver thereby signs his guilt, therefore, the responsibility will be maximum - deprivation of the VU or administrative arrest. Therefore, in the event of an accident, it is important to maintain adequacy and not leave the scene, violating traffic rules. Because otherwise it will be extremely difficult to prove your innocence.

Situations where there is no liability for leaving the scene of an accident

There will be no liability if leaving the scene of the accident is not prohibited by traffic rules. When can drivers safely leave without fear of punishment, and what needs to be done for this? Let's consider different cases:

1. The culprit and the victim agreed that they would "sort it out on the spot", without the participation of the traffic police and the insurance company. This is possible when:
   • Only property damage was inflicted (no injured or dead);
   • None of the drivers needs to file an accident through the traffic police.
   • The parties have no differences of opinion regarding the causes and consequences of the accident.

Important: usually, car owners resort to this method when the accident was insignificant, for example, the cars only “got used” a little, there is no particular damage, so you don’t want to waste time on paperwork. It is much more convenient to transfer money for repairs without leaving the helm. However, it must be borne in mind that the fact of transfer Money it is best to confirm by an agreement signed by both parties, in which certain information must be present:

• Data on the drivers involved in the accident (number and series of driver's license, full name);
• Date, place, time of the accident;
• The amount of compensation transferred by the perpetrator to the victim.
• Signatures of the parties with transcripts.

The agreement is filled in two copies (one for each driver).

1. The incident can be described as follows:
   • There are no injured people.
   • Participants do not disagree about how the collision occurred and who is responsible for it.

Important: in this situation, traffic police officers can not be called. How to proceed? Draw as much as possible detailed diagram An accident that must be signed by both motorists. Photos will not be superfluous either. Then the drivers are sent to the State traffic inspectorate for paperwork.

1. It is possible to formalize the incident by drawing up and signing a European protocol. This option is suitable when the following conditions are met:
   • Two cars were involved in the accident.
   • As a result of the accident, only vehicles were damaged.
   • Car owners are holders of OSAGO policies.
   • The parties came to an agreement, defining a list of property damage, as well as the cause and circumstances of the collision.

Important: in order to fill out the documents right on the spot, you must have with you a notice of a traffic accident, which is standardly issued along with an OSAGO policy. The Europrotocol is used when the damage to the car is insignificant, since the maximum insurance payment for it does not exceed 50,000 rubles. Of course, this money will cover only minor repairs. So, if you understand that the damage caused is much more than the agreed amount, then you should call the traffic police.

1. People were injured, and there is no opportunity to send them to the hospital on a passing car. Paragraph 2.5 of the SDA provides for this situation - motorists are allowed to use their own transport if the victim urgently needs health care. In a medical institution, the driver should present a passport (or VU) and provide information about himself - full name, license plate number of the car. Then you need to return to the scene of the accident.

Important: if it is necessary to take the injured person to the hospital, you must first fix the traffic situation (draw a diagram, take a photo, record the data of eyewitnesses).

1. The accident led to the fact that the colliding cars blocked the roadway, preventing other cars from continuing to move. Then the rules allow you to clear the road, driving, for example, to the side of the road. The main thing is not to forget to take a photo of vehicles, brake marks, etc. in advance.

The statute of limitations for fleeing the scene of an accident

Of course, drivers who left the scene of an accident illegally are interested in - but for how long do you need to stay at home and be afraid? The standard procedure provides for an investigation by the traffic police. In its course, witnesses are interviewed, the available video materials (for example, data from video recorders and surveillance cameras) are studied. It is difficult to imagine an accident that occurred without eyewitnesses. Most likely, someone saw something, therefore, the fact of concealment from the scene will be confirmed, and the culprit will be found.

When it comes to statute of limitations, there are a few things to keep in mind. In accordance with Article 4.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the period after which a decision on administrative offense in a case being considered by a judge, is 3 months. Thus, if the motorist is not found within three months after the accident, he will not bear administrative responsibility. However, there is still a statute of limitations - 3 years. The law provides this time so that the injured party can defend their rights.

FAQ

The accident causes panic, so some people can mess things up, get scared and leave. Sometimes there are ambiguous situations when drivers were not even aware of the accident, since the collision was insignificant. Consider common questions that concern drivers.

Fled the scene of an accident - how to avoid punishment?

Today's reality is such that the driver who disappeared into traffic violation from the scene of the accident, loses his license, even if the collision was minor and there are no casualties or serious damage to property.

The situations in which it is allowed to legally leave the scene of an accident have been analyzed in detail above. If these options do not apply to your case, then you can try to prove the unintentionality of your action. This is real in a light accident, when the driver did not understand what happened. What to refer to, forming the evidence base?

• Bad weather, which do not allow an adequate assessment of the traffic situation.
• The presence of noise, loud music, etc.
• The insignificance of the accident, in connection with which the driver did not hear the characteristic sounds informing about the incident.

Another option, how to avoid punishment (administrative), would be to wait for the statute of limitations to expire.

Is there a penalty for unintentionally leaving the scene of an accident?

Sanctions are absolutely similar to liability for deliberate concealment from the scene of a collision and represent deprivation of rights for up to one and a half years or arrest for up to 15 days.

If people were injured in an accident, then it is almost impossible to prove the absence of intent to leave the scene of the accident. Thus, the emphasis on unintentionality should be done only when the damage is small. It is best to settle all issues with the injured party, that is, to compensate for the damage, then it will be possible to appeal this fact in court. The perpetrator must try to convince the court that he admits his guilt and repents. If the weather conditions were unfavorable, then it is worth referring to them, attaching the confirmation taken at the weather station. As a rule, practice shows that resolving the issue with the victim (compensated damage) helps to keep the violator's driver's license.

Consider an example: A passenger bus at a traffic light slightly collided with a passenger car. The bus is characterized by impressive dimensions, so it is easy to imagine that the driver did not notice the incident and drove further along the route. The motorist did not give any signals that attracted the attention of the bus driver, which was confirmed by eyewitnesses of the situation. During the court session, the bus driver agreed with his guilt and expressed his readiness to compensate for the damage. Usually in such cases, the court does not bring the violator to administrative responsibility.

What happens if both participants in the accident left the scene of the collision?

If the parties have previously agreed: they signed an agreement or filled out a European protocol, then their actions are legal, therefore, there will be no liability for leaving the scene of an accident. Sometimes people agree on the absence of claims in words, ignoring the written form this fact. It is logical that if both participants left the scene of the collision, then it was as if it had not happened. But this option is possible if there are no victims. It is also worth remembering about insurance payments - you will not be able to use the OSAGO policy. There is another interesting nuance here - the second driver can return to the scene of an accident and call the traffic police. Then the first one is likely to be found guilty. Therefore, it is very important to record all agreements on paper.

Accidents happen all the time, especially now, when the number of cars on Russian roads is growing every day. Of course, any accident takes a person out of their comfort zone, so self-control can be lost. But leaving the scene of an accident will be the worst decision, for which the offender is likely to be deprived of their rights for up to a year and a half. If people were injured in the accident or there are dead, then criminal liability will be added as a punishment. No fear of consequences, personal matters, etc. cannot be put above the life and health of other people, therefore, in case of an accident with victims, all your efforts should be directed to providing them with first aid.

(2 ratings, average: 5,00 out of 5)

Today, one can often observe such a picture - after an accident, the driver, without explaining the reasons for his act, leaves, leaving the annoyed victims to themselves, then the police arrive and office work begins. How justified is it to leave the scene of an accident and is it profitable, what to do if? We will talk about this in this article.

Often in big cities drivers involved in an accident leave, hoping that in the surrounding bustle and turmoil they will be able to escape from justice, and judging by the statistics, in our country this works about 50 to 50. far from always, since in Russia cameras on the roads are just beginning to be installed, and even then only at the main intersections and main roads.

But if the car of an unscrupulous violator of the law has some bright sign, for example, it is red, or yellow, very expensive, or has a high-protruding spoiler, then most likely its owner will be found the very next day.

So, what threatens the driver if he left the scene of an accident, even if it was quite insignificant? It will help us to answer this question. administrative code RF. Article 12.27 part 2 states that those who leave the scene face deprivation of rights for a year and a half or fifteen days of arrest, although, as a rule, the court chooses deprivation of rights.

If a person leaves the scene of an accident, then he can be deprived of his rights only if his guilt is proven, and the probability of this in our country is approximately 50 percent.

Certainly, do not leave the scene in front of witnesses, and if you did this, then, unfortunately, you cannot escape responsibility, but if you are convinced that there are no witnesses or they only remember the color of your car, then it is almost impossible to prove something. Often, drivers leave the scene of an accident, and then in court they claim that this is not their car, but just a similar one, and, as a rule, this strategy works.

If the numbers were nevertheless fixed, it will not be possible to get rid of liability, but you can only choose the type of punishment that suits you best. For example, someone really needs a car and he would rather serve half a month in a cell, while for someone, on the contrary, deprivation of rights is preferable.

The decision the court makes depends on a large number factors, ranging from the context of the situation, driving experience and characteristics from the place of work, and ending with the personal attitude of the judge. But in most cases, as mentioned above, those who leave the scene of an accident are deprived of their rights.

Although if you enlist the support of a good lawyer who has won such cases more than once, then you can get an arrest, and not even 15 days, but two or three times less.

If you did not notice an accident and left - what to do?

When a person leaves the scene of an accident, no matter for what reason - whether he was in a hurry, got scared, or simply did not notice the fact of the accident, after the injured party contacts the police, an administrative case is opened against him, which can no longer be canceled even after reconciliation of the parties. That's why In such a situation, there are two options:

1. The first is to try to prove that there was no accident, and that your car was not involved in the accident, or someone else was driving, for which you need a good lawyer.
2. And the second is to convince the judge with all your might that you really didn’t notice the accident, but at the same time you are a loving father, a caring family man, and in general good man. Then, perhaps, the judge will get better and you will be given not deprivation of rights, but 5 or even 3 days of administrative arrest.

But practice shows that the second method does not always work, because, as a rule, the judge immediately cracks through an inept acting game, and that is why it is most advantageous to turn to a lawyer specializing in traffic cases. This service is inexpensive.

First, you need to understand that if the accident is severe, then no matter how you hide, a common person without connections and money, he will not escape responsibility, so here, in any case, the result is the same.

If the accident is minor, then there are two scenarios. The first, when the person did not notice the accident, has already been discussed above, and the second, when the fact of the accident is obvious to all its participants, but the person decides to leave.

If the culprit is hiding from the scene of an accident in the hope of evading responsibility, then you need to remember at least the color and make of his car, and then you can already try to find dents on his car, otherwise, if there are no cameras nearby, you will not be able to prove anything. As mentioned above, no one will waste time due to a minor accident, so your chances of finding witnesses are close to zero.

But if you yourself were in the place of the guilty, and this can happen to anyone, but you need to hurry somewhere, you can leave your phone number to the victim(It is advisable not to be rude). If the driver is not in place, write your number on a piece of paper and put it on windshield under the wipers, so you can avoid administrative punishment.

If you just fled the scene, but the investigation somehow came to you, unfortunately, you will not be able to avoid punishment, but with the help of a good lawyer you can reduce it, or choose the most acceptable one.

If both parties involved in the accident left the scene

This usually happens when the issue of damages is settled right on the spot. At the same time, none of the participants falls under responsibility, since in order to initiate an administrative case, it is necessary to apply to the traffic police by the injured party. But if both drivers understand each other, and have no disagreement about the incident, then they make a joint notice to the insurance company, and disagree with minimal cost time. By law, the police, in this case, you can not call.

This option is beneficial when the damage is small, but if the car was badly damaged, and it is impossible to estimate the cost of damage by eye, then, unfortunately, one cannot do without contacting the traffic police.
