Innovations in the rules of the road. Parking area and its new markings. Without a belt, no, no ... Buckle up everyone!

As of April 2017, changes to the rules will come into effect. traffic RF. They will affect the rules for the transportation of children, including organized transportation, the requirements for novice drivers, the replacement of a driver's license and changes in speed limits and changes in overtaking rules.
Innovations are aimed at reducing the level of accidents involving novice drivers, as well as the severity of the consequences of possible accidents with their participation.

NEW SDA RULES FOR BEGINNER DRIVERS

From April 4, 2017, changes to the traffic rules and innovations for novice drivers, whose experience is less than 2 years, will come into force, will be subject to some restrictions on the road:
- it is forbidden to drive machines with dangerous, heavy and bulky goods;
it is forbidden for those who have a driving experience of not more than 2 years to tow cars on a cable.

20.2.1 When towing, the control of the towing vehicles must be carried out by drivers who have the right to drive vehicles for 2 years or more.

In addition, they are required to stick a special “Beginner Driver” sign on the rear window in the form of a yellow rectangle with a black exclamation mark in the center.

CHANGES FOR MOTORCYCLISTS

Novice motorcyclists and moped drivers are prohibited from carrying passengers.

- clause 22.2.1 Transportation of people on a motorcycle must be carried out by a driver who has a driver’s license for the right to drive vehicles of category “A” or subcategory “A1” for 2 or more years, transportation of people on a moped must be carried out by a driver who has a driver’s license for the right to drive vehicles of any category or subcategory for 2 or more years.

Also motorcycles, cars and trucks with a licensed maximum weight no more than 3.5 tons on motorways - increased speed mode from 90 km/h to 110 km/h. On other roads - no more than 90 km / h;

THE RULES FOR TRANSPORTATION OF CHILDREN HAVE CHANGED

Now, according to the rules of the road, it is necessary to submit a notice of organized transport groups of children on buses. This can also be done remotely via the Internet. The procedure is detailed in the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated December 30, 2016 No. 941:
- the notification is submitted to the regional division of the traffic police at the point of departure, in the absence of a branch;
- to the traffic police unit of the territorial body of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the subject;
- the document must contain reliable information about the carrier, data of the driver, bus, person who submitted the notification;
- deadlines for submission are set - at least 2 days before the start of the trip;
- after that, a check will be carried out on the vehicle in which the children will be transported, and its driver for the presence administrative offenses.

Transportation of children under 12 years of age has become optional use of child car seats. Instead, you can use clamps, boosters, adapters and other devices that meet the requirements of technical regulations Customs Union.
The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation allowed parents to transport children under 12 without a car seat, however, with the proviso that alternative special means combined with seat belts.
Such a decision was made by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation at the suit of a resident of Yekaterinburg, who back in 2010 was fined 3,000 rubles for the fact that the driver transported a child without a car seat, but in the so-called “booster” in combination with a regular belt. From now on, all drivers will be able to avoid such fines by referring to this decision sun

P.S. But now the government is considering amendments to the rules that Russian motorists will only be able to transport children in car seats and boosters, and cheap devices like belt adapters will be banned. When these amendments are adopted, a child under 12 years old in the back seat will need to be transported either in a car seat or booster, or with a regular seat belt fastened. In this case, the rules will take into account the weight and height of the child. If the child has not reached a height of 150 cm, it cannot be fastened with a standard seat belt. Must ride in a seat or booster. And if he crossed this barrier, then the belt is enough for him.
The relevant government document will be adopted by June.
Until the ordinance is signed, all certified child restraints may be used.

DRIVER'S LICENSE REPLACEMENT

Government Decree Russian Federation dated March 23, 2017 No. 326, amendments were made to the Rules for conducting examinations for the right to drive vehicles and issuing driver's licenses, ensuring the possibility of accepting documents and issuing Russian national driver's licenses in case of their replacement, loss (theft) and the issuance of international driver's licenses in multifunctional centers provision of state and municipal services.

It is envisaged that along with the possibility of replacing driver's licenses at the State traffic inspectorate, citizens also have the opportunity to apply for and receive driver's licenses received from the departments of the State traffic inspectorate at multifunctional centers.

In addition, the issue of replacing the Russian national driver's license before its expiration has been clarified. Now, subject to the submission of a valid medical certificate on their own initiative, you can get a new driver's license with a validity period of 10 years.

RULES OF OVERTAKING ON SECTIONS WITH A PROHIBITION SIGN

Note that now motorists are allowed to overtake tractors, rollers and other slow-moving vehicles on those sections of the route where there is a “no overtaking” sign.
A red triangle in a yellow frame should indicate tractors, asphalt pavers, rollers and other vehicles that are not structurally capable of moving at a speed of more than 30 km/h. Such vehicles are now allowed to overtake in areas where the “No Overtaking” sign is in effect.

The sign is placed on the rear of the car body, the design or safety requirements of which are designed for a speed of not more than 30 km/h. That is, if the car is capable of going faster than this value, but the driver simply does not consider it necessary to increase speed, such a car will not be considered a slow vehicle. At the same time, the driver, as a rule, is not able to independently determine the design speed of a particular tractor and can easily make a mistake, which will provoke a conflict with traffic police on the road.
The presence of such a sign can serve as a serious argument when communicating with the traffic police - we recall that for overtaking in the wrong place, the driver may be deprived of his rights.

New rules for in-kind compensation for losses under OSAGO

On April 28, 2017, the Federal Law of March 28, 2017 No. 49-FZ “On Amendments to the Federal Law “On Compulsory Insurance of Civil Liability of Vehicle Owners”, which provides for in-kind compensation for damage under OSAGO, will come into force.
According to the law, the repair of a damaged car under OSAGO is now a priority form of insurance compensation.
Upon the occurrence of an insured event, the insurer, after inspecting the damaged vehicle and conducting its independent technical expertise, will issue to the victim a direction for car repair at the service station with which he has an agreement.
At the same time, it is clarified that used or remanufactured components cannot be used in such repairs, unless the insurer and the victim agree on this, in order to reduce the cost of repairs.
Also, the law in some cases allows victims to choose an auto repair center for refurbishment, which is not on the list of the insurance company. But for this, the injured motorist must justify his choice.
To do this, he will need to send a corresponding application to the name of the insurer and obtain written consent. In case of consent, the insurer will have to give the victim a referral for refurbishment and pay for it.
In accordance with the amendments, if the car under warranty (not more than 2 years old) of the victim is under the factory warranty, then refurbishment can only be carried out in technical center official dealer.
The requirements for repairs are also defined, its period should not exceed 30 days, and the insurer cannot send the car for repairs if the service station where the restoration work should be carried out is located more than 50 kilometers from the scene of the accident or the place of residence of the victim.
And the warranty period for repairs should be six months and one year for body and paint work.

A list of cases where it is possible to receive a cash payment is determined. This list is exhaustive. So, you can receive monetary compensation in the following cases:

- Total destruction of the vehicle

- Death of the victim

– Causing severe or moderate harm to the health of the victim as a result of the occurrence of an insured event.

– If the victim is disabled and has chosen this form of insurance indemnity in the application for insurance indemnity.

– If the cost of restoring the damaged vehicle exceeds the established sum insured.
– In cases, the victim does not agree to make an additional payment for repairs.
– The existence of a written agreement between the insurer and the victim;

– If none of the stations with which the insurer has concluded contracts for the organization of refurbishment does not comply with established rules requirements for the organization of refurbishment.

According to the draft law, the in-kind form of damages will be carried out only for purchased CMTPL policies after the entry into force of the new law. Accordingly, if the perpetrator of the accident after the entry into force of the new law will have an insurance policy purchased before the entry into force of the new law, then the victim has the right to choose both in-kind compensation for damage and receive monetary compensation within the limits established by law

CHANGES TO SDA AND IDENTIFICATION SIGNS

A ban has been introduced on the operation of vehicles in the absence of identification marks on them, which must be installed in accordance with the basic provisions for the admission of vehicles to operation and duties officials for road safety. These are such signs as "Beginner driver", "Spikes", "Transportation of children", "Deaf driver" and others. Driving a vehicle that does not have these identification marks:

- drivers using studded tires must put an identification mark in the form of a triangle with the letter "Ш" under the glass
– drivers of tractors, rollers and other slow-moving vehicles must have a red triangle in a yellow frame;
- deaf drivers of vehicles must stick a yellow circle with three black dots on the glass;
– truck owners must attach signs “Dangerous Goods”, “ Oversized cargo»;
- employees of driving schools are required to glue a red triangle with the letter "U" on training cars.

PENALTY FOR LACK OF IDENTIFICATION SIGNS

Since April 4, 2017, drivers have been fined for driving a vehicle without the appropriate identification marks under Part 1 of Article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and, as of the date of the introduction of these changes in the SDA, is 500 rubles. Also, only a warning is possible for violation of these requirements.

Good afternoon, dear reader.

This article will focus on the changes that have been made to the text since April 4, 2017. Starting from this date, new clauses will be added to the rules that introduce additional restrictions for drivers with less than 2 years of driving experience.

In addition, the changes affected the maximum speed of motorcycles, as well as the rules for the use of identification marks (a novice driver, spikes, a road train, a deaf driver, etc.). Let's take a closer look at the innovations.

Maximum speed of motorcycles on motorways

Consider paragraph 10.3 of the rules of the road:

10.3.

• cars and trucks with a maximum authorized weight of not more than 3.5 tons on motorways - at a speed of no more than 110 km/h, on other roads - no more than 90 km/h;
• intercity and small-seat buses and motorcycles on all roads - no more than 90 km / h;

10.3. outside settlements movement is allowed:

• motorcycles, cars and trucks with a maximum authorized weight of not more than 3.5 tons on motorways - at a speed of not more than 110 km / h, on other roads - no more than 90 km / h;
• intercity and small-seat buses on all roads - no more than 90 km / h;

Thus, starting from April 4, 2017, motorcyclists can travel at a speed of 110 km/h. Previously, the limit was 90 km/h.

Towing restrictions for novice drivers

Consider the new clause 20.2 1 of the SDA:

20.2 1 . When towing, the control of towing vehicles must be carried out by drivers who have the right to drive vehicles for 2 or more years.

Let's analyze the new point in parts:

• This paragraph applies only to the towing of motor vehicles. Those. trailer towing can be performed by any driver and it will not be a violation.
• The restrictions apply only to the driver of the towing vehicle, i.e. pulling vehicle (driven in front). A driver with any experience can drive a second car.
• The driver of the towing vehicle must have the right to drive any vehicle for 2 or more years.

For example, if a driver at the age of 16 received a category M license, and at the age of 18 he received a category B license, then since his experience is more than 2 years, he can immediately perform towing.

In this case, the restriction applies specifically to novice drivers, i.e. having a driving license of any category for less than 2 years. Please note that restrictions for motorcyclists will be discussed below, which apply not only to novice drivers, although the wording of the rule clause is similar.

Fine for violation of the towing rules is provided for in Article 12.21 of the Code of Administrative Offenses and amounts to 500 rubles(or warning):

1. Violation of the rules for the carriage of goods, as well as the rules for towing -

Another example related to towing. Two cars went on a joint trip to the country on the road. The driver of the first car has a driving experience of 20 years. The driver of the second car is the son of the first driver who has just received his driver's license. The more experienced driver drives first and gets stuck in a mud ditch. What to do?

The driver of the second car cannot tow the first car, because this is prohibited by the new paragraph 20.2 1 of the rules. The fine for violation will be 500 rubles.

Another possible variant- swap cars. However, since the drivers are not included in the OSAGO insurance, it will be 500 rubles (for each of the drivers).

What is the best way to proceed in this case? In fact, everything is quite simple. You need to ask the traffic police, who are preparing to issue a fine, to help pull the car out of the mud.

Restrictions on the transport of people on motorcycles and mopeds

Consider the updated clause 22.2 1 of the SDA:

22.2 1 . Transportation of people on a motorcycle must be carried out by a driver with a driver's license for the right to drive vehicles of category "A" or subcategory "A1" for 2 or more years, transportation of people on a moped must be carried out by a driver with a driver's license for the right to drive vehicles of any category or subcategories for 2 or more years.

This item consists of two parts, for motorcycles and for mopeds. Let's consider them separately.

Restrictions for moped drivers

Everything is pretty simple here. To transport people on a moped, the driver must have a driver's license of any category for 2 years or more. Those. a novice driver is not allowed to carry people on a moped.

Let me remind you that a driver's license is currently suitable for driving mopeds, in which any category is open and.

Restrictions for motorcyclists

Restrictions for motorcyclists are a little over complex shape. To transport people on a motorcycle, you need to have a driving license of category A or subcategory A1 for 2 years. Please note that this restriction does not apply only to novice drivers.

For example, the driver has driving experience categories B,C,D 40 years old and after retirement wants to change to a motorcycle. He receives a category A driver's license and buys a motorcycle with a cradle, on which he plans to ride to the country with his wife.

Such a driver cannot be called a beginner in terms of traffic rules, since the driving experience exceeds 2 years. However, the driver cannot carry passengers for 2 years.

In this case, the driver only needs to put the motorcycle in the garage, and put the certificate on the shelf in order to return to the idea after 2 years. Naturally, during this time the driver will not become more experienced. Rather, on the contrary, he will partially lose the skills acquired in a driving school.

The penalty for violation of the rules for the carriage of passengers is provided for in part 1 and amounts to 500 rubles:

1. Violation of the rules for transporting people, with the exception of cases provided for by paragraphs 2-6 of this article, -

shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred roubles.

Features of the installation of the sign "Beginner driver"

Minor changes have also been made to the description of the "Beginner Driver" sign:

"Beginner Driver"- in the form of a square yellow color(side 150 mm) with image exclamation point black color 110 mm high - behind motor vehicles (with the exception of tractors, self-propelled machines and motorcycles) driven by drivers who have the right to drive these vehicles for less than 2 years.

"Beginner Driver"- in the form of a yellow square (side 150 mm) with a black exclamation mark 110 mm high - behind motor vehicles (except for tractors, self-propelled machines, motorcycles and mopeds) driven by drivers who have the right to drive these vehicles for less than 2 years.

Until April 4, 2017, the "Beginner Driver" sign had to be installed, among other things, on the back of mopeds. New edition The SDA cancels this requirement.

The introduction of a fine for the lack of identification marks

7.15 1 . There are no identification marks that must be installed in accordance with the Basic Provisions for the admission of vehicles to operation and the duties of officials to ensure road safety, approved by the Decree of the Council of Ministers - the Government of the Russian Federation of October 23, 1993 N 1090 "On the rules of the road ".

Starting from April 4, 2017, the operation of vehicles that do not have identification marks is prohibited. It's about about the following signs:

• Road train.
• Transportation of children.
• Deaf driver.
• Educational vehicle.
• Speed ​​limit.
• Dangerous cargo.
• Oversized cargo.
• Slow vehicle.
• Long vehicle.
• Novice driver.

Thus, for the absence of the signs listed above, it is now possible to obtain a fine of 500 rubles(Part 1 of Article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses):

1. Driving a vehicle in the presence of malfunctions or conditions under which, in accordance with the Basic Provisions for the Authorization of Vehicles for Operation and the Obligations of Officials to Ensure Road Safety, the operation of the vehicle is prohibited, with the exception of malfunctions and conditions specified in parts 2 to 7 of this article,

shall entail a warning or the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred roubles.

Additional penalties (for example,) are not imposed.

Please note that for the illegal installation of the signs listed above, unlike, no punishment is provided.

For example, you can install a "Spikes" sign and drive with it all year round. It won't be a violation.

In the same way, you can put up a "Beginner Driver" sign as soon as you get your driver's license at 18 and keep it on until you retire. It won't be a violation either.

Another important note that applies to all innovations. The new rules for novice drivers have nothing to do with the presence of the sign "Beginner Driver" on the car. Only the experience of a particular driver matters.

For example, a car is used by several drivers (mother and daughter). At the same time, the daughter is a novice driver and this is evidenced by the identification mark on the rear bumper. However, this sign does not impose restrictions on the second driver of the car. If a mother is driving, she can tow other vehicles without removing the sign. It won't be a violation.

Which are introduced changes in traffic rules since April 2017? Changes for novice drivers? Are there any changes for all other drivers? What's new for motorcyclists? What is the penalty for violators? Let's talk about this now.

Hello dear blog readers.

March 27, 2017 The Prime Minister signed a resolution that amends the Rules of the Road. Changes in traffic rules apply to novice drivers - those whose driving experience is less than two years. Accordingly, for young motorists, the Rules of the Road introduce some restrictions.

A person who has recently completed driving courses and passed exams at the traffic police is considered a novice driver and must drive with the “Beginner Driver” sign for 2 years.

This sign informs other road users that you have recently received a VU and in some situations you may behave inappropriately. Therefore, more experienced motorists will always help newcomers on the road - blink their headlights, once again let them pass at the intersection.

And inexperienced motorists, posting this sign, declare to others: “I recently graduated from a driving school, so I am a “teapot”. If I'm doing something wrong, please forgive me." In fact, the designation does not give any concessions and in the event of an accident they will be asked to the fullest extent.

Changes for novice drivers

Amendments are made to paragraph 8 of the Basic Provisions for the admission of vehicles for operation and the duties of officials to ensure road safety.

8. Vehicles must be marked with:

"Beginner driver" - in the form of a yellow square (side 150 mm) with a black exclamation mark 110 mm high - behind motor vehicles (with the exception of tractors, self-propelled machines and motorcycles , motorcycles and mopeds) driven by drivers who have the right to drive these vehicles for less than 2 years.

The changes relate to the possibility of towing vehicles driven by novice drivers of other motor vehicles; transportation of passengers on motor vehicles; control of vehicles carrying bulky, heavy and dangerous goods.

Also, according to the document, if a driver with an experience of up to two years has not designated a vehicle sign“Beginner driver”, then it is possible to prohibit the operation of such a machine.

One remained unnoticed important nuance: according to this decision, with April 4, 2017"The list of malfunctions and conditions under which the operation of vehicles is prohibited" will be supplemented with a new paragraph 7.15.1 :

There are no identification marks that must be installed in accordance with paragraph 8 of the Basic Provisions for the admission of vehicles to operation and the duties of officials to ensure road safety, approved by the Decree of the Council of Ministers - the Government of the Russian Federation of October 23, 1993 No. 1090 "On the rules road traffic".

Also, changes in traffic rules will affect drivers who prefer studded tires . From April 4, when the changes to the traffic rules come into force, drivers will need to hang an identification mark under the glass - the letter "Ш" in a triangle. Here you can print on any color printer.

What other signs should be installed?

I remind you that the aforementioned paragraph 8 of the "Basic Provisions for the Admission of Vehicles for Operation" requires that the necessary identification marks be installed on the relevant vehicles:

• "road train"
• "Thorns"
• "Transportation of children"
• "Deaf Driver"
• "Training Vehicle"
• "Speed ​​limit",
• "Dangerous Goods"
• "oversized cargo"
• "Slow Vehicle"
• "Long Vehicle"
• "Beginner Driver"

Amendments are made to paragraph 10.3 of the SDA

10.3. Outside built-up areas, traffic is allowed:

cars motorcycles, cars and trucks with a maximum authorized weight of not more than 3.5 tons on motorways - at a speed of not more than 110 km / h, on other roads - no more than 90 km / h;

intercity and small-seat buses and motorcycles on all roads - no more than 90 km / h;

SDA are supplemented with new paragraphs 20.2(1), 22.2(1).

20.2(1). When towing, the control of towing vehicles must be carried out by drivers who have the right to drive vehicles for 2 or more years.

22.2(1). Transportation of people on a motorcycle must be carried out by a driver with a driver's license for the right to drive vehicles of category "A" or subcategory "A1" for 2 or more years, transportation of people on a moped must be carried out by a driver with a driver's license for the right to drive vehicles of any category or subcategories for 2 or more years.

For motorcyclists

Innovations in traffic rules from April 4, 2017 will also affect motorcyclists.

So, novice motorcyclists whose driving experience does not exceed two years are prohibited from carrying passengers in the back seat from 04/04/2017.

Also new traffic rules changes require the installation of a special identification mark - a red triangle in a yellow frame - for tractors, asphalt pavers, rollers and other vehicles. Because they themselves cannot move at a speed of more than 30 km / h.

It is worth recalling that the rules of the road allow you to overtake a vehicle that is moving at a speed of less than 30 km / h in the coverage area road sign"overtaking prohibited". However, the driver is not able to independently determine the speed of a moving vehicle in front, so such an innovation, experts say, is most welcome.

Changes in the rules of the road also oblige the installation under the glass of the car from 04/04/2017 of a special identification mark - a yellow circle with three black dots - for deaf drivers.

From April 4, 2017, employees of driving schools must install a sign in the form of a red triangle with the letter “U” under the rear window of a training car.

And truck owners must, from April 4, 2017, after the entry into force of innovations in the traffic rules, install under the glass the identification marks “Dangerous cargo”, “Oversized cargo” and so on.

Fine

With regard to sanctions for violators, then, according to part 1 of article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, for non-compliance with the requirements of the aforementioned paragraph of the “Basic Provisions”, the driver is threatened a warning or a fine of 500 rubles. At the same time, according to Article 27.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, the detention of a vehicle for this violation does not apply! That is, the inspector does not have the right to send the car to the impound for the absence of the “Spikes” or “Beginner Driver” sign.

The fine of 500 rubles also threatens other categories of drivers who, according to the new rules, must hang identification marks under the glass of the car, but this sign is not there. A fine of 500 rubles can also be received by motorcyclists if they violate the changes to the traffic rules introduced since April 4.

Here is the news today. if you have legal issues, then ask them to the lawyer on the blog in the form at the bottom right. Next time the conversation will be about transportation of children in a car .

May the changes for novice drivers benefit everyone!

Changes in traffic rules from April 4, 2017

3.7 - Ratings: 42

All traffic rules changes from April 2017 (30.03.17)

We have already published material about the changes for drivers since April 2017. However, literally in the last week of March, several important amendments to the traffic rules and other regulations were adopted, which will come into force in April. In particular, the rules for transporting children by bus are changing, new rules for replacing driver's licenses come into force, and traffic rules for novice drivers are tightened. In addition, from April 15, the tariff of the Platon system will change, and at the end of April, resonant amendments to the law on OSAGO will come into force.

New rules for transporting children from April 1, 2017

From April 1, 2017, the rules for organized transportation of children are changing in Russia.

The new procedure for filing a notification of organized transportation of a group of children by buses was approved by order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated December 30, 2016 No. 941.

According to the document, a notice of the transportation of children is submitted to the district traffic police departments at the place where the transportation began, and in their absence, to the appropriate traffic police department of the territorial body of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

The departmental order establishes requirements for the content of the notice. The following information must be present:

• charterer (customer of transportation)
• freighter (carrier)
• route program
• bus (buses)
• driver(s)
• the person who submitted the notification (for legal entities).

Notice is given in person or electronic form the head of the organization or an official responsible for ensuring road safety, and in the case of organized transportation of a group of children under a charter agreement - by the charterer or charterer (by mutual agreement).

The deadline for submitting a notice of organized transportation of a group of children to the traffic police unit is no later than 2 days before the start of transportation. Upon receipt of the notification, information on the registration of the bus and its technical inspection, as well as whether the driver has a driver's license of category "D" allowed to drive the bus, is organized. In addition, information is checked that the driver does not have administrative offenses in the field of traffic, for which punishment is provided in the form of deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle or administrative arrest, during the last year.

Changes for novice drivers from April 4, 2017

On March 24, 2017, a decree of the Government of the Russian Federation was signed, which imposes restrictions on novice drivers with less than 2 years of experience. In particular, novice drivers were banned from towing, and for the absence of a sign on the car, they will now prohibit its operation.

Recall that earlier drivers whose driving experience is less than 2 years were proposed at the legislative level to limit top speed up to 70 km / h, when driving on any roads. In addition, they wanted to ban such drivers from towing a car, and novice moped and motorcycle drivers from carrying passengers.

However, not all initiatives were included in the final version of the document. Government Decree No. 333 of March 24, 2017 introduced the following restrictions for drivers with less than 2 years of driving experience:

• it is forbidden to tow vehicles
• it is forbidden to carry passengers on a motorcycle and a moped
• it is forbidden to drive a car without a badge "Beginner driver"

As for the last point, now the absence of the sign "Beginner driver" is included in the "Basic provisions for the admission of vehicles to operation and the duties of officials to ensure road safety", among the faults in which the operation of the vehicle is prohibited.

The changes come into force on April 4, 2017.

Replacement of driver's license from April 4, 2017

From April 4, 2017, new rules come into force when replacing a driver's license.

The Government of the Russian Federation has amended the Rules for conducting examinations for the right to drive vehicles and issue driver's licenses. The corresponding Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 326 was signed on March 23, 2017.

This document contributes two important changes in the rules for replacing rights:

• when replacing rights not due to expiration, new rights will be issued for 10 years
• you can now change the rights on your own initiative, without explaining the reason

Now, when changing rights, for example, after marriage and changing the surname, new rights are issued with the same validity period as the previous ones. For example, if you received the rights 9 years ago and changed them due to a new surname or other reasons, then in a year they will expire and you will have to change them again. With the adoption of these amendments, new rights will be issued for 10 years. True, for this you will have to present a medical certificate, even in those cases in which it was not previously necessary.

As for the second point, now the driver can change the rights on his own initiative. For example, if he no longer likes the photo on the document.

Tariff increase "Platon" from April 15, 2017

From April 15, 2017, the tariffs of the Platon system were to double at once. However, just the other day, after a meeting with representatives of the auto business, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a new resolution and now the tariff will not increase so sharply.

Now Platon's tariff will increase by 25% from April 15, 2017. Thus, from April, the fare on federal highways will be 1.91 rubles per kilometer. Recall that now there is a temporary reduction factor to the tariff and truckers pay 1.53 rubles per kilometer.

Mandatory tolls for trucks over 12 tons GVW on federal highways (Platon system) have been operating in Russia since November 15, 2015.

Restrictions on the passage of trucks in Tatarstan from April 15, 2017

In April 2017, Rosavtodor plans to introduce traffic restrictions for heavy vehicles. Restriction of movement in spring period is carried out by establishing the permissible values ​​of the axial load of vehicles on those sections of federal highways where the strength of the pavement structure does not provide the possibility of passing heavy vehicles.

In addition, from April 15 to May 14, 2017, it is planned to introduce temporary traffic restrictions on the roads of regional significance of the Republic of Tatarstan.

According to the results of diagnostics of roads of regional significance, the maximum permissible values ​​of loads on the axles of a vehicle in the spring period are established:

• single axle - 6 tons;
• two-axle bogie - 5 tons
• three-axle bogie - 4 tons.

Restrictions will not apply to the following types of transportation:

• international transport of goods carried out in accordance with the provisions;

CMTPL payments from April 28, 2017

On March 28, 2017, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a bill on in-kind compensation for OSAGO.

Recall that on March 17, 2017, the bill was adopted by the State Duma in the third, final reading. According to the initiative of the insurers, in most cases, instead of paying in cash, motorists will now only receive referrals for repairs to a car service.

AT latest version The document includes the following amendments:

• Distance to service station or from accident scene, or from the place of residence of the car owner (optional) - up to 50 km.
• The period of repair of the car should not exceed 30 days, for each day of delay the insurance company will be charged a fine of 0.5% of the amount of compensation.
• The Bank of Russia will make changes to normative act, establishing requirements for the organization of repairs and the procedure for interaction between the insurer and the consumer, including in the event of detection of poor-quality repairs.
• The consumer will be able to choose the service station where he wants to repair the car in the event of an accident from the register of the insurance company or, in agreement with the insurer, designate his own station.
• The document establishes a ban on the use of used parts when repairing a car.
• The calculation of the amount of compensation for natural OSAGO is made without taking into account the wear and tear of the car and parts.
• The warranty period for repairs is six months and one year for body and paint work - 1 year.
• Cars not older than 2 years that have a warranty must be repaired by the appropriate service stations that have the right to carry out work, while maintaining the warranty.
• A list of cases has been approved when a cash payment can be made: causing severe or moderate bodily harm, death of the victim, complete destruction of the car, excess of the cost of repairs over the CMTPL payment limit (400,000 rubles). Also, monetary compensation can be paid to certain categories of disabled people. The car owner will have the right to demand compensation for damages in cash if the insurer is unable to organize repairs at the service station proposed by him earlier.
• The Bank of Russia has the right to decide to limit the implementation by the insurer, which car owners have repeatedly complained about, compensation for damage caused in the form of repairs for up to one year.

On March 28, the document was signed by the President and officially published on the website of the Government. The bill will enter into force 30 days after its official publication and will only apply to new OSAGO agreements. Accordingly, the new amendments will come into effect for OSAGO policies concluded after April 28, 2017.

At the end of June 2017, the government adopted the next changes to the Rules of the Road. We deal in detail with the new amendments to the traffic rules.

Transportation of children 2017

Now you can not spend money on child seats. Alas, despite the results of numerous studies and the opinion of most experts, the government decided that children over seven years old in the back seat can be fastened with standard seat belts.

Paragraph 22.9 of the Rules of the Road now looks like this:

"Transportation of children under the age of 7 years in passenger car and cockpit truck which are designed with seat belts or seat belts and an ISOFIX child restraint system, must be carried out using child restraint systems (devices) that are appropriate for the weight and height of the child.

Transportation of children aged 7 to 11 years (inclusive) in a passenger car and truck cab, which are designed with seat belts or seat belts and an ISOFIX child restraint system, must be carried out using child restraint systems (devices) that are appropriate for the weight and height of the child , or using seat belts, and in the front seat of a car - only using child restraint systems (devices) appropriate for the weight and height of the child.

The installation of child restraint systems (devices) in a passenger car and the cab of a truck and the placement of children in them must be carried out in accordance with the operation manual for these systems (devices). It is forbidden to transport children under the age of 12 in the back seat of a motorcycle.

The rules for transporting children have changed. If children under the age of 11 are allowed to be transported in the front seat only with restraints, then in the back seat, small passengers from 7 to 11 years old can be fastened with regular seat belts.

One part of car owners will breathe a sigh of relief, they say, now there is no need to spend extra money on car seats. Another will worry about the consequences of a seven-year-old child without a car seat in a colliding car. Just a couple of months ago, we conducted our study, which showed that only with a child seat can a child be saved.

At first I thought that our government was not interested in child safety issues. But, having read the next amendment, I realized that this is not so. Well, at least the officials tried to show themselves as child advocates.

From this day on, children under seven years of age should not be left alone in a car under any pretext! There is no punishment yet, but I am sure that in the near future the deputies of the majority party will establish a serious punishment for the offending car owners. I believe it will be either a fine of five thousand, or administrative arrest, or deprivation of the right to drive. And after that, the materials will be redirected to the department of guardianship and guardianship. If you leave the baby alone in the car, then you are a useless parent and you will certainly need to be deprived of your rights (already parental).

Do not leave children under the age of 7 in the car without adult supervision! Even if you arrived at a gas station or decided to pay for parking. However, there is no punishment for it yet.

In general, to prescribe this in the Rules of the Road, in my opinion, is nonsense. In the existing legislation there are enough norms according to which it is possible to punish a really delinquent parent. Take, for example, the article of the Criminal Code “Leaving in danger”. So no, it is necessary to register one more requirement in the traffic rules, which, by the way, will not work. Well, who do you think will track parked cars? Traffic police inspectors, who are almost invisible on the road?

In general, this decision is worthy of our government: how loud, so senseless.

Traffic in the opposite lane 2017

Another suggestion concerns the oncoming lane. Everything is simple here. In order to avoid disputes, a separate paragraph appeared in Section 9 of the Rules explaining when it is impossible to drive into the oncoming lane. In fact, this is a repetition of certain provisions of the traffic rules.

The ban on driving into the oncoming lane was prescribed separately in the traffic rules. Perhaps there will be fewer disputes between drivers and traffic police inspectors.

The traffic rules stipulate all cases when it is forbidden to enter the lane of oncoming traffic. But if on such roads the ban is obvious, then on two-lane roads, apparently not. Otherwise, I can not explain the logic of the proposed changes.

We read and remember paragraph 9.1 (1):

“On any roads with two-way traffic, it is prohibited to drive on a lane intended for oncoming traffic if it is separated by tram tracks, a dividing strip, markings 1.1, 1.3 or markings 1.11, the dashed line of which is located on the left.”

In other words, if the road is divided by tram tracks, we forget about overtaking. In the same way, we forget about overtaking (as well as just driving in the oncoming lane) if the oncoming lane is separated by one solid (1.1), double solid (1.3) or double lane, one of which is intermittent (1.11). And separately I remind you about the line 1.11. It can be crossed from the intermittent side (starting overtaking) and from the solid side (ending overtaking). On the contrary - it is impossible.

Narrow roadway. One lane in each direction. Solid strip 1.1 forbids us to leave the oncoming lane. Now it is spelled out separately in the ninth section of the Rules.

Once again, there is nothing new in this paragraph. Therefore, we simply take note of the emergence of a new item and do not violate traffic rules.
