The expert spoke about a gap in the law on tinted cars

A new draft amendment to the Administrative Code, which makes it possible to hold drivers of cars with foreign license plates accountable for excessive tinting of windows, will close a gap in legislation and limit the ability to remove a car from customs control according to a simplified scheme. Anton Shaparin, Vice-President of the National Automobile Union, said this on Monday, September 29.

Earlier in the day, it became known that the Russian government has prepared a bill that plans to exclude the possibility for some drivers not to pay fines for excessive tinting of windows, writes Life.Ru .

The Cabinet of Ministers intends to close a loophole according to which car owners from Abkhazia, Armenia, Georgia and South Ossetia may not comply with the norms of the Administrative Code regarding the punishment for tinting, since they have the opportunity to use their cars on the territory of the Russian Federation for up to six months without registration with the State Traffic Inspectorate. While their cars are temporarily imported, the regulations do not apply to car owners.

Shaparin noted that the amendments will affect tens of thousands of cars with foreign license plates. He clarified that the technical regulations apply to all Armenian, Kyrgyz and other numbers because they are part of the Customs Union, while Abkhazia, South Ossetia and a number of other states do not apply.

"In North Ossetia, Dagestan and other Caucasian republics, there are many cars with South Ossetian license plates, and in the Krasnodar and Stavropol territories there are an abundance of cars with Abkhazian license plates. For residents of these regions, there was a very simple way of circumvention, customs clearance and recycling: you could put up Abkhazian plates and drive here. Now the legal basis is changing, but the fines will be a maximum of 500 rubles for the initial violation," he told the "Paragraph".

A driver cannot "relieve stress" from an accident before the arrival of traffic police

Earlier that day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation announced that the deadline for paying a fine for car owners whose cars are registered in foreign countries should be reduced from 60 days to one day, NSN reports.

The ministry explained the need to shorten the period of payment of the fine by the fact that within 60 days such car owners "can freely leave" Russia, according to the website. kp.ru .

The Interior Ministry believes that the adoption of the bill will contribute to compliance with the principle of the inevitability of punishment, writes "Moscow 24".

On August 7, a bill was submitted to the State Duma on the abolition of fines for tinting and tuning cars. It was noted that tinting should be acceptable because it reduces exposure to ultraviolet rays. Accordingly, both drivers and passengers can be protected from harmful solar radiation.
