The updated Code of Administrative Offenses (CAO) will include several new fines for drivers. About it writes “Kommersant” with reference to the draft document from the Ministry of Justice.
In particular, if the code is approved, both new and previously announced fines will appear in it.

it will cost the driver repeated refusal to stop the car at the request of the police during the pursuit
Another “expensive” violation will be drunk driving with a child in the cabin, for which a punishment of up to 50 thousand rubles and deprivation of rights is imposed.
The Ministry of Justice in the new Code of Administrative Offenses plans to completely abandon the use of such measures for motorists as administrative arrest. It is explained that such mitigation is associated with the humanization of legislation and the high cost of such a punishment for the budget.
It also introduces a procedure for the temporary “restriction” of the right to drive a vehicle. It will be applied in cases where the driver grossly violated the traffic rules (for example, stopped drunk while driving), until the court ruling. Now there is no ban on driving.
In addition, the project includes fines for repeated violations. Among them – driving a car with an unreadable dirty number (5 thousand rubles or deprivation of rights), and excessive tinting (3 thousand rubles).
The changes will also affect drivers who receive fines for violations recorded by traffic cameras. It is planned that the requirements for photo fixation complexes, rules for placing cameras and informing motorists will be established. The publication claims that if one of these rules is not followed, the fine will not be sent, even if the violation was committed.
It will also become easier to appeal against fines against someone else’s car. Thus, a traffic police officer will be able, even without an applicant, to cancel the “letter of happiness” if he sees incorrectly read information from the cameras – for example, with the wrong car number.
Vice-President of the National Automobile Union Anton Shaparin drew attention to the fact that the project has not yet included a section on electric scooters and other means of individual mobility. Earlier, the head of the traffic police of Russia, Mikhail Chernikov, proposed introducing a minimum age for using scooters in order to avoid frequent accidents. He explained that it is important to legislatively regulate a new type of transport, since electric scooters can be dangerous in the flow of pedestrians.
At the same time, the Code of Administrative Offenses introduced a ban on driving motoblocks and snowmobiles on public roads, for which a fine of up to 2 thousand rubles is imposed.
Another important change in the Code of Administrative Offenses was the absence of the term “average speed” in the document. Although back in September it was reported that it was planned to introduce such a concept, and it would become impossible to challenge in court a fine for exceeding its permitted limits.
