For what they can remove the state number. Cancellation of numbers

If you want to remove the purchased car from the register and leave the numbers, you can do this according to the law, but you need to take into account certain subtleties of this procedure. In general, the re-registration of vehicles in this case is not fundamentally different, but there are certain nuances.

Also, if you wish, you can keep your old license plates and install them later on a new purchased car. For a certain time, the numbers will be stored in the traffic police, but we will talk about the storage period in our article later.

Stages of deregistration of a car with the preservation of numbers

Each motorist in 2018 has the opportunity to remove the car from the register while maintaining the numbers. First you need to clarify the work schedule of the traffic police department of your choice, where it will be convenient for you to re-register the vehicle. If the department is not one, but several, choose the most suitable for yourself.

Preparation of documentation

When re-issuing a car with the preservation of license plates, you will need a set of documents such as:

• vehicle registration certificate;
• registration certificate for the car;
• insurance;
• car owner's passport;
• receipt for payment of state duty.

You will find all information on duties on the official website of the traffic police, and the application itself is most often filled out at the department. Near the branch there is usually some private company providing its services. They help with the preparation of various papers and documents for people doing to sell or buy a car. For a small fee, applications will be completed and completed for you, and copies made if necessary.

Number check

Even if you remove the car from the register, but the numbers remain, the traffic police officers must verify the numbers of the units and components of the vehicle. Reconciliation is carried out in the traffic police department, after which it will be necessary to return to the site for inspection at a convenient time. Get in line and go with the prepared documents to the traffic police officer. He must check the engine and body numbers, making sure they are legible and authentic.

When deregistering a car, you can old numbers if they have the proper appearance: they are easy to read, not wrinkled or worn.

When checking the numbers, the inspector will immediately tell you whether you can keep the registration plates for yourself after deregistration of the car, or not. If they are in an unsatisfactory condition, it will be possible to make a duplicate to preserve the signs. A duplicate is made quickly, since this service is provided by various commercial organizations located near the traffic police departments. The inspector will tell you where you can go.
You will need tools to remove and keep your old license plates. And do not forget to inform the inspector about your desire to leave license plates after deregistration of the car.

How to apply?

After successfully verifying all the numbers, you need to find a window in the traffic police department in which they provide a car registration service for individuals. Many branches have an electronic queue that simplifies the process and eliminates disputes and conflicts between customers who plan to sell a car, leave or change numbers, or perform any other actions. If there is such a queue, you just need to take a ticket and wait until you are called.

At the check-in window, you need to inform the inspector that you will be leaving license plates. He will check the results of the examination, during which the units and numbers were compared. If everything is normal and without violations, the inspector will provide you with an application form asking you to keep the old license plates.

In the application, you will need to indicate contact information and the brand of the vehicle on which the previous numbers were. Also include the date and sign. You must submit an application with clean numbers to the inspector at the registration window, after which the removed numbers will be stored for some time in the warehouse.

The site has an interesting one in the traffic police department. From it you will learn how to behave in the analysis and how to challenge the protocol drawn up against you.

Buying and registering a new car

You have six months to submit a new vehicle registration application. Come to the traffic police on a new car and draw it up. When submitting documents, you must indicate that you have expressed a desire to keep the previous registration numbers. The inspector will have to check this information and make notes, and you will eventually return your numbers back. You will also have to pay a state duty in the amount of 2,000 rubles, and you can read more about the tariffs for traffic police services at the end of the material.

Note that a few years ago it was not possible to deregister a car with the preservation of numbers, but then some changes entered into the law. Today, in 2018, motorists have more options available:

• when selling a car, it is not necessary to remove it from the registration;
• deregistration of a vehicle is mandatory only when it is sent abroad or for disposal;
• you can change registration information in all departments of the traffic police;
• the new owner of the car has the right to choose whether to keep the old numbers or make new ones.

All this has significantly simplified the process of re-registration and sale of cars, but everything is not so simple. At the same time, many do not suspect how much these or other traffic police services cost related to deregistration of a car and preservation of license plates.

How much do operations with numbers cost?

All tariffs for actions performed with license plates when removing or registering a car are fixed. The approximate cost of the procedure for saving numbers and putting them on a new car with registration is 7,700 rubles, and it consists of the following items:

• issue of duplicate license plates - 2000 rubles;
• change in the passport of the old vehicle - 350 rubles;
• issuance of a new certificate of registration of the car - 500 rubles;
• issue of license plates - 2000 rubles;
• changes in the passport of a new car - 350 rubles;
• issuance of a certificate of registration of a new car - 500 rubles;
• issuance of numbers for a purchased car - 2000 rubles.

For comparison: if you decide to get and put new numbers on the purchased car, it will cost 2850 rubles, and if you leave the old numbers, you will save 2000 rubles. So decide for yourself whether you should leave the numbers when deregistering the car or are you ready to overpay for new license plates.

How long are withdrawn numbers kept?

If the inspector, after inspecting your car and all numbers, gives approval to keep the license plates after the car is deregistered, you need to pay all receipts and draw up an application for assigning the old numbers to you.

According to the law, today motorists have 180 days to buy and register a new car with the previous registration plates on it. Keep in mind that earlier this period is only 30 days. The main thing is not to delay, because after six months your old numbers will be disposed of, transferred to a new car owner or even sold if you have any original numbers that will interest anyone.

In this regard, be responsible for the appearance of license plates (if you bought them), as some traffic police officers deliberately reject numbers with a desire to sell them in the future and get rich on it. As you understand, this is illegal, but you must provide for such a possibility.

Next, you need to submit an application along with the numbers that were previously removed from the car. They will be transferred to a special archive for storage. The inspector will fill out the PTS, entering new data into it, and will also issue new registration plates and a car registration certificate. For all of the above actions, you will be able to save license plates when you remove the car from the register.

How are you fined for driving without license plates?

We found out how to remove the car from the register and leave the numbers, how much it costs and how long it takes to register a new vehicle. You also need to consider fines for driving without license plates. You will be curious about them if you are going to suddenly operate a car without registration plates.

The legal situation regarding the punishment for driving without one license plate is ambiguous. Law-abiding motorists have to consistently defend their legal rights, trying to avoid a substantial fine of 5,000 rubles or even deprivation of up to three months.

Driving with only one license plate in front or rear, if you lost it on the way, is classified under other malfunctions with which it is forbidden to operate the vehicle under the main provisions. When a malfunction that occurs along the way cannot be eliminated by yourself, you can safely drive to the parking lot or the place of repair. All this is described in the last paragraph of paragraph 2.3.1 of the traffic rules of Russia.

Accordingly, you need to convince the inspector that the number fell off along the way, and you follow to the parking lot. At the same time, he will have the right to fine you under Articles 12.2 of the first part or 12.5 of the first part of the Code of Administrative Offenses. You will get off with a warning or a fine of 500 rubles.

What are the subtleties?

If at least one registration plate remains on the car, the absence of the second number will be interpreted as a violation of the requirements of the state standard for installing license plates, and not the complete absence of numbers on the vehicle. The fact is that in the second part of Article 12.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, the fine is not 500 rubles, but 5000 (this is if both numbers are missing).

The main thing is to be careful when drawing up the protocol and make a note that you do not agree with the violation, and the number was simply lost on the road. And write down that after discovering the absence of a number, you decided to go to the place of parking or repair.

In general, conscientious inspectors of ordinary drivers do not fine under the second part of Article 12.2, but apply this punishment to malefactors who drive vehicles with the impossibility of identifying license plates.

Until September 2018, the traffic police had the right to remove registration numbers from cars. This was written in the regulation on traffic police for the case of a ban on driving. Putin banned the removal of numbers from cars by his Decree, published on the official web portal of law. By clicking on the link, you will see that the number law has changed. His 12th point was different. The new Decree was signed on September 15, 2018 and began to operate.

Is it possible to remove the numbers from the car

Now traffic inspectors can prohibit driving a car, tractor or other equipment, when it is required by law. Such a ban is valid until the causes of the ban are eliminated. They wanted to cancel Putin's law on the removal of numbers earlier, back in 2014. The LDPR deputies proposed such a draft law.

Car owners should understand why the traffic police remove numbers. This is the right of the traffic police. The traffic cop removes the numbers if the driver does not follow the rules. As a result, the driver receives a penalty in the form of a fine, and the traffic police removed the state number from the car. To prevent this from happening, you first need to study Putin's law of 2018, when such punishment is used. Drivers do not need to break the rules so that the traffic police do not have questions.

Why can they remove the number from the car

Putin signed a law that says that license plates can be removed from a car for good reasons. The Decree reflects all cases of application of such a measure of punishment.

If the traffic police removed the numbers from the car or imposed a fine, then there is a serious reason, and the following types of punishments may follow:

1. The driver drives a car with a high level of noise and harmful emissions. For such a violation, a fine of 500 rubles is provided.
2. If the steering, brakes or coupling device are faulty on the car, then the fine for driving a car is 500 rubles. In this case, the car will be sent on a tow truck to a car impound.
3. Window tinting installed incorrectly. The tinting must be removed on the spot and a fine of 500 rubles must be paid.
4. If the number plate on the car is not installed in a regular place, you may be deprived of your rights for three months, or a fine of 5 thousand rubles may be imposed.
5. In case of illegal use of special light and sound devices, a fine of 5,000 rubles is imposed. Devices are subject to seizure.
6. Headlights on the car must be factory-made with white glass. In case of violation of the requirement, a fine of 3,000 rubles or deprivation of rights from 6 to 12 months is provided.

It is forbidden to use taxi lights if you are not a taxi driver. There is a fine of 5 thousand rubles for violation. Driving a car without an OSAGO policy is punishable by a fine of 500 to 800 rubles.

All these reasons will allow the traffic police to remove the numbers from the car, impose a fine or deprive the driver's license. Therefore, follow the rules of the road.

How to return the numbers to the car

Car owners often ask what to do so that the numbers are not removed from the car. This is not always possible, but sometimes it works. We need to eliminate the reason for the removal of numbers. For example, remove the tint or put the numbers in the right place. But there is no escape from the penalty.

There are drivers who specifically fix the number plate with special nuts so that it cannot be removed. The driver of the traffic police who violated the rules had the numbers removed from the car, damaging the car, and they had the right to do so. License plates are state property.

If they removed the numbers from the car - what to do? At the same time, it was not possible to eliminate the cause immediately. It is necessary to resolve the issue of returning the numbers to the car, otherwise you can drive such a car for no more than a day. Removed numbers from the car can be returned if you pay a fine and eliminate the cause of the punishment. After that, you can drive a car.

If the car was deregistered, the numbers were taken away, then you need to clarify where the numbers will be located. Ask for the phone from the traffic police officer who rents the numbers.

If the car was evacuated due to its malfunction, you need to visit the impound lot. But first, find out in the traffic police where the car was evacuated. You will also have to return it on a tow truck with payment for the service. If your car was evacuated, not everyone knows where to call. Although you need to contact the nearest traffic police department in your area.

If the driver knows that the traffic police acted incorrectly, he must apply to the judicial authorities. To do this, you need to contact an experienced lawyer. According to the new law, the traffic police forbade removing numbers from cars, so you need to prove the illegal actions of the traffic police. In addition, it is better to resolve issues with the traffic police on the spot before removing the numbers from the car.

In many cases this works without problems. The main point is to eliminate the cause and pay the fine. Then Putin's laws will work for you, luck will turn to face you, and the numbers will not be removed from the car.

On the network of the world "web" you can find many interesting videos that show the actions of drivers and traffic police officers.

Conclusion

Putin's laws improve the position of drivers in relation to the traffic police. Therefore, drivers need to follow the rules, respect the rights of traffic police and traffic police. They do their job, and it is unlikely that the license plates removed from the car make them happy. If the traffic police removed the numbers from the car, then there was a good reason for this.

Is it possible to remove numbers from a car under the new law? In certain cases, this is allowed. Putin's 2018 law explains everything. Follow the link of the Decree of the President at the beginning of the article and read it. In the main part of the Decree, Putin forbade removing license plates from cars.

Attention! Since November 15, 2014, the removal of numbers has been canceled from the legislation of the Russian Federation! No one else takes numbers!

Cancellation of removal of numbers from vehicles

The legislation provides for various types of sanctions for traffic offenders. It all depends on the nature of the violation. But the removal of numbers from the vehicle as a measure of punishment is no longer used.

Consider the principles and conditions of one of the most unpleasant punishments for a driver - a prohibition to operate a vehicle, which is accompanied by the removal of registration plates from the car.

As an independent sanction, removing license plates from a car is not practiced - it can only be an additional measure to an administrative fine. We will tell you under what conditions this is possible, and how a driver who finds himself in a similar situation should behave.

As it was - the procedure for removing numbers from the car.

1. When a traffic police officer prohibits the operation of a vehicle, state numbers must be removed from the car.
2. A mandatory protocol is drawn up on an administrative violation (in advance or on the spot), in which an appropriate entry is made about the removal of license plates.
3. In order to regain the right to drive a car and, accordingly, its license plates, the driver must eliminate the reason for applying the sanction, which is indicated in the protocol.

How it was - under what violations the numbers could be removed from the car.

The ban on the operation of vehicles was carried out in accordance with Part 2 of Art. 27.13 Administrative Code:

Below will be listed violations of traffic rules (SDA), which could lead to such a measure of punishment.

Lack of registered markings on the car

This item included not only the movement of vehicles without temporary or permanent numbers, but also situations where:
- license plates are present in the vehicle, but are stored or installed in places not provided for by law (in the passenger compartment or in the trunk);
- there are any extraneous materials or devices on the registration numbers that make it difficult to recognize them.

Under any of the above conditions, the driver, in addition to the ban on the operation of the car, was also issued a fine (5,000 rubles). The second option is 1-3 months of deprivation of a driver's license.
The exception to the rule is the purchase of a car. Since the new car owner must register it with the traffic police for 10 days, during this period penalties will be unlawful.

Often, owners of vehicles (especially new ones) are in no hurry to install freshly received numbers, wanting to install them in the most comfortable conditions of their own garage. And they move by car with numbers behind the windshield or rear window. We warn you that the law does not accept such free interpretations. Although it is difficult to call such a driver a malicious violator of the order, the same sanctions apply to him: a ban on operation plus an administrative fine / withdrawal of rights.

But a driver who finds himself in such a situation can decide on the spot whether to cancel this ban. Having set the numbers in the right places, the requirements specified in the protocol will be immediately fulfilled. But the administrative measure (fine / deprivation of rights) will remain in force.

Illegal installation of lighting devices, sound signals, color schemes and other special identification marks

Legislatively, the ban on the installation of all of the above devices, devices and circuits is enshrined in Art. 12.4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. Please note that in this case, a ban on operation can be imposed not only during a stop of a moving vehicle, but also on a parked car.

Below we will consider in more detail violations related to driving.

Prohibition of operation of the vehicle upon detection of its technical malfunction. We are talking about insufficient serviceability of significant parts of vehicles, the failure of which can lead to an emergency. Such malfunctions include a breakdown in the steering, brakes, fastening of the coupling mechanism of the road train. If any of the above malfunctions is detected, the vehicle is sent to the impound lot, and a ban is issued on its management until the breakdown is repaired. Additionally, the driver must pay a fine of 500 rubles.

Use of prohibited lighting fixtures

Only orange, yellow and white lights are allowed on the front of the car. All other shades of the color spectrum (including close to orange - red) are prohibited. Such a violation, in addition to a ban on operation, is punishable by the removal of numbers from the car and the rights of its driver (up to a year). Illegal light fixtures - confiscated in the prescribed manner. This ban, with all its attendant consequences, also applies to decorative lights (for example, festive garlands or green headlights).

Prohibition to operate in the presence of tinted windows

According to the legislation (dated 07/01/12), a car can be arrested with a ban on further movement if insufficient light transmission of its glasses is detected. In addition to the standard procedure for removing numbers, a fine was imposed on the owner of the vehicle. In 2017 - cancelled.

Illegal installation of flashing special signals.

Without appropriate permission, the installation of special devices on cars that give light / sound signals is punishable by the removal of license plates, confiscation of illegal devices and deprivation of a driver's license for 12-18 months. If the vehicle is stopped while using such “flashing lights”, the driver loses the right to drive a car for 1.5-2 years.

Using an unregistered taxi light.

If a yellow checkered lamp is installed on a car without an appropriate permit, according to the new rules that came into force on 01.01.2012, its driver must pay a fine of 5,000 rubles. In this case, the illegal identification mark is confiscated, and a ban on operation is imposed on the machine.

Application of color schemes

The use of special color schemes is permitted only to the relevant operational services. For all other cars - this is punishable by the removal of numbers. In this case, the driver loses his license for 1-1.5 years.

Lack of compulsory OSAGO insurance

Lack of OSAGO insurance, its delay, violations of the application rules specified in the insurance policy are also legitimate grounds for prohibiting the operation of the car.

How it was - what the driver had to do if a ban on the operation of the vehicle was imposed

The only legal way to avoid the prohibition of operation is the immediate elimination of the reason why the traffic police officer imposes a ban. If the essence of the violation is tinting, you need to remove the opaque film from the glass, if there is a technical malfunction, eliminate it. In this case, most likely, the numbers will either be returned immediately, or they will not even be removed.

But what to do if it is impossible to eliminate the cause of the malfunction or external discrepancy on site? Keep in mind that the driver is given a day to troubleshoot until the vehicle is arrested. During this time, you can have time to dismantle any illegal device, device or color scheme. The only exception is an emergency malfunction according to the aforementioned article 12.5.ch.2. If the brake or steering wheel does not work on the car, and the coupling device does not work on the road train, then independent movement even to the place of repair is strictly prohibited (only by a tow truck).

Separately, we note that a fine for independent movement with removed numbers (even to the place of repair) when stopped by a traffic police officer is inevitable, since the operation of a vehicle without numbers is in itself a violation of traffic rules 2013. After bringing the car into proper condition, according to regulatory documentation, you will be able to return the withdrawn numbers. To do this, you must contact the traffic police department, whose employees issued a ban on operation.

Finally, we note that it is necessary to distinguish between the concepts of a ban on operation and detention of a car. In the first case, the numbers are removed from the vehicle, but the car remains with the owner for troubleshooting. In the second, the car is confiscated from the owner and sent to the impound lot with the help of a tow truck.

Vehicle owners should be aware of why inspectors can remove numbers from a car. In 2019, traffic police officers have a similar right. If the driver violates certain rules, then this measure can be applied to him. As a result, a person is fined, rented rooms and may be deprived of their rights. To prevent this from happening, first of all, you need to know in what cases such punishment is applied. Each driver should not violate traffic rules so that there are no problems with the traffic police.

The reasons

Number plates from the car can only be removed if there are good reasons for this. The legislation spells out all the cases when they have the right to apply this measure. Now consider the applicable penalties for violations.

Reasons for withdrawing numbers:

1. A person uses a machine that exceeds the allowed noise or emissions. A fine of 500 rubles was imposed.
2. The vehicle has a breakdown of the brake or steering systems, the coupling device. In this case, the driver of the car uses. In this case, they will be fined 500 rubles, and the faulty car will be towed to the impound.
3. Violated the established requirements for tinting. In this case, you will have to fix the problem, as well as pay 500 rubles for the violation.
4. A person drives a car on which the state sign is installed in the wrong place. In this case, they will either be fined 5,000 rubles or lose their driver's license for 3 months.
5. The use of sound and light devices for special purposes, service color schemes. At the same time, a person does not have the right to do this, since the car does not apply, for example, to the police or an ambulance. The traffic police has the right to fine 5,000 rubles. At the same time, illegal devices will be confiscated.
6. The use of headlights in the wrong color, we recall that only white is allowed. The inspector can fine 3,000 rubles and take away the rights for a period of six months to a year.
7. Illegal use of a taxi lantern. You will have to pay 5,000 rubles.
8. The person does not have an OSAGO insurance policy. As you know, all drivers should have it. You can be fined 500-800 rubles.

Separately, we note that all of the above reasons imply punishment in the form of removal of numbers, a fine, and in some cases deprivation of rights from several months to two years. That is why you should not ignore the law if you do not want to get into an unpleasant situation.

The return procedure

People are often interested in how to avoid removing license plates. This possibility is not always available, but there are still cases when it is possible to prevent the application of this measure. The reason for the fine should be eliminated. For example, remove the tint film or return the signs to the correct place. But in any case, the fine will have to be paid.

Some drivers who violate the law deliberately stick a number or use non-standard nuts. They do this in order to simply not be able to remove state signs. However, it should be understood that the plates are considered the property of the state. Therefore, the traffic police inspector can remove them in any way, even if you have to damage the car.

If the number has already been taken away or it was not possible to eliminate the cause on the spot, then you should think about returning it. We note right away that from the moment this measure is applied, it is allowed to move on a vehicle for no more than a day. After that, you will not be able to drive a car.

Drivers who want to get license plates back will have to pay the fine first, and then eliminate the violation. Only after that you can contact the traffic police, where you can pick up your plates. After that, it will be possible to use the vehicle again, and henceforth you need to try not to violate traffic rules.

If the car was evacuated, and this happens when it is out of order, then you will have to contact the impound. You will need to return the car with the help of a tow truck, for the services of which you will have to pay.

A situation may occur when, for some reason, it is not possible to return the state sign in the usual way. At the same time, the driver eliminated the cause of the violation and paid a fine. After these actions, he still could not get his signs on the car. If a person is sure that the problem does not come from him, and the traffic police officers act unlawfully, then you should file a complaint with the court. You will need to provide all the necessary documents proving the correctness of the driver. It is also advisable to use the help of a lawyer to increase the chances of winning the case. If a person manages to prove the illegality of the actions of the traffic police, then he will be returned the license plate.
