Everyone knows the proverb that it is better to go badly than to go well! It is it that can be applied to the case that we want to analyze in this article.
So often everyone has to go, but there are not enough places for everyone. Of course, improvisation begins here, like sitting together in one place. And if it's a truck, then put people in the back. Do not forget about extraordinary cases when the passengers themselves can, at certain moments of their high spirits, get out through the sunroof or through side windows in the car. We will also talk about this in our article. Rather, we will not talk about the very fact of such actions, but about what kind of fine awaits drivers driving vehicles with such passengers.
What article regulates the fine for incorrect carriage, violation of the rules for the carriage of passengers
Such an article is Article 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation “Violation of the rules for transporting people”. In fact, it regulates two types of offences. The first is when passengers violate the rules of transportation directly in the cabin. The second is when they ride the vehicle outside the cabin intended for passengers (outside the seat on the motorcycle). Here it is only worth emphasizing that violations related to the transportation of passengers outside the cabin are punished more severely. Actually, we will analyze everything in more detail now.
Fine for carrying an extra passenger in a car (not on a motorcycle)
So, let's say a passenger car is designed for 5 transfer seats, but the driver agreed to take one more extra passenger or even two. Who knows how much he overestimated the capabilities of his car? At the same time, it doesn’t matter whether it will be one “extra” passenger or there will be 5 of them. In fact, the violation does not provide for the difference between the number of passengers in excess of the norm, it provides for the very fact that there are extra passengers.
So, in this case, if such a fact is discovered, the driver will be punished under article 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, which we have already mentioned, in part 1 ...
Once again, the fine will be charged for all passengers at once, and not for each "extra" separately. In part, this can be considered an indulgence for liability under this article and for this violation. The only remark is that this case does not apply to motorcycles. Here, the 2nd part of the same article comes into force.
Fine for transporting passengers in a cargo van, trailer, in the back of a truck (extra passenger on a motorcycle)
This case is considered more dangerous. At least this can be said from the amount of the fine that will be issued. So, for example, if the driver transports people in the body on unequipped for this passenger seats oh, then he faces punishment based on the norm of article 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, part 2 ...
As you noticed, this article applies to motorcycles and trailers, tractors, trailers - houses (dachas). Such a case can also be attributed to the option when passengers lean out the windows, into hatches on a moving car. Here everything is again as in the previous case. It does not matter how many passengers the driver carries in the back. Whether it's one person or full body people, the penalty will be fixed. One for all at once.
Violation of transportation rules for children
I must say that Article 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation has much more parts in its composition than the 2 that we have already mentioned. The only thing is that all subsequent parts after 2 stipulate liability for violation of transportation in relation to children. In the same article, we wanted to focus only on violations related to the transportation of passengers in excess of the prescribed seats and their transportation in the body. But we will talk about children in the article "Penalty for transporting children without a seat".
Is it possible to pay a fine for an "extra" passenger with a discount
Responsible and respectable motorists here are again saved by Article 32.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. It is she who provides for the possibility of mitigating liability in the form of a fine for transporting an extra passenger or transporting people in a body, trailer. The most important thing in this case is to guess with the terms of payment. Two factors must be observed here. The first is that the fine must be paid no later than 20 days from the date of the ruling. Secondly, it’s not worth paying a fine before it gets into the traffic police base, since in this case the money may not go where it is clear.
Question-answer on the topic "Penalty for violation of the rules of transportation"
Question: What will be the penalty for violating the rules for transporting a passenger (s)?
Answer: If you have an extra passenger in the cabin - 500 rubles. If transportation is carried out outside the cabin, whether it is a trailer or a truck body, then this is 1000 rubles.
It is necessary to transport people in a car according to the rules traffic, and not the principle of "as much as you like."
The penalty for overloading the car in 2018 has not been canceled, so every driver must take into account the current legislation.
How many people can be transported in a car?
It will be about passenger car, where the number of allowed passengers is limited by the number seats. Paragraph 22.8 of the SDA indicates that people cannot be transported in excess of the amount provided for technical specifications vehicle. It turns out that if there are five seats in the car along with the driver's seat, then the sixth and subsequent passengers will have to.
But another question arises - does this rule apply to the transportation of children, because four children can fit in the rear three seats? This will be considered a violation, since the law spells out the rule for the transportation of people as a whole, without separation by sex and age. All the details about the rules for transporting children in the car.
To understand how many people can be transported in a particular car, you need to refer to the technical specifications. If it is indicated there that the car is five-seater, then only four people are allowed (the fifth seat for the driver).
Another important point. Passengers can only be carried in the passenger compartment. Thrill-seekers who love trips on the roof and in the trunk will be fined.
seat belt requirements
An important point - ALL passengers in the car must be fastened seat belts, and children under 12 years old are placed in special devices. If design features Since the machine is provided with only four belts, only four people are allowed to be transported.
Exceptions are vehicles that do not provide for the installation of seat belts in the rear seats by the manufacturer. However, since 2012 there has been a rule requiring drivers to purchase and install belts regardless of design. Given this rule, one can answer main question- You can carry as many people in a car as there are seat belts installed. If at least one person is not fastened, the driver.
Amount of fines
And now about the financial component. Violation can be regarded under four articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses:
- Article 12.23 - for each extra passenger a fine of 500 rubles.
- Article 12.6 - for each unfastened person: 1000 rubles.
- Article 12.23 - for the carriage of a passenger outside the cabin: 1000 rubles.
Article 12.29 - the passenger will have to pay a fine of 500 rubles if he is not wearing his seatbelt seat belt. The sanction may be replaced by a written warning. The punishment assigned to the passenger does not cancel the sanctions against the driver.
If the driver violates the rules for transporting children (for example, a child rides on an adult’s lap), you will have to pay 3,000 rubles.
Changes in 2018
The responsibility of the driver for violation of the rules for the transportation of people in 2018 became tougher. There are two new rules:
- The fine for violating the rules of overloading will have to be paid by the driver himself. Previously, sanctions were imposed on the driver and offending passengers.
- Fines can be cumulative. Previously, for a double violation, the driver paid only one, the largest fine.
Regarding the second point. In a situation where the driver of a five-seater car is carrying a sixth passenger on the roof, who is also unfastened and under the age of 12, you will have to pay for all 4 violations in the amount of 5,500 rubles. Of course, such a situation is unlikely, but the traffic police inspectors have repeatedly recorded double violations, for which the driver also had to pay twice.
Let's summarize. It is allowed to carry as many people in a passenger car as it is stipulated technical features vehicle, but not more quantity seat belts. For violation - a fine of 500 rubles for each extra passenger and 1,000 rubles for each unfastened person.
The safety of people in the car depends not only on the skill of the driver. It is important that their transportation by any mode of transport is carried out according to the rules. The car or motorcycle must be adapted for this, the driver must have the right category of rights and other Required documents. Otherwise, punishment awaits him, and those whom he carries cannot count on safety.

How will the traffic police inspector punish for an extra passenger
The need to transport everyone who wants to go often pushes drivers to put them in a car. more people than can fit. They will be punished regardless of what kind of transport is used. It is imposed under Article 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
By car
Sanctions for excess passengers can be applied in two cases:
- There are more of them in the cabin than it should be according to the characteristics of the vehicle. Section 1 of the above article works here, that is, the inspector will issue a fine of 500 rubles.
- One or more people are outside the salon in violation of the rules. Sometimes traffic police officers find them in the trunk or other places where there are no appropriate conditions. Section 2 of article 12.23 works in this case:
Transportation of people outside the cab of the car (except as permitted by the Rules of the Road), tractor, other self-propelled vehicles, on a truck, in a trailer-dacha, in the body of a cargo motorcycle or outside the seats provided for by the design of the motorcycle, entails the imposition administrative fine in the amount of one thousand rubles.
If both parts of the law are violated, then the fines are not absorbed, but summed up. That is, the driver will pay 1500 rubles. There is one positive moment in the situation - the amount of the fine does not increase depending on the number of extra passengers.
On a motorcycle
If the carriage extra person in a comfortable car you can somehow understand, then in a situation with a motorcycle everything is more serious and dangerous. Therefore, the punishment for this offense is imposed under paragraph 2 of Article 12.23. This is a fine of 1000 rubles.
The same threatens drivers who put a person in the back of a cargo motorcycle. If there are several passengers, the payout amount remains fixed.
By minibus
An excessive number of people in a minibus is punished under the same article 12.23. But there may be nuances here:
- if there are one or more adult extra people in the cabin, the driver will pay 500 rubles. under part 1 of the article;
- if it is a child, the fine for him grows up to 3,000 rubles, for an official - up to 25,000 rubles, the legal entity will give 100,000 rubles. in accordance with Section 3 of Article 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
The last point applies quite justifiably. After all, if the child did not have enough space in the minibus, there is no child restraint required for transportation. And this is a direct violation of the rules, exposing the life of a small person to increased danger.
If children are being taken
The requirements for the transportation of young citizens are even more stringent than for adults. Therefore, the punishment is much more severe:
- a fine of 3000 r. for the driver, 25000 r. for an official, up to 100,000 rubles. for legal, if children are transported contrary to the rules (part 3 of article 12.23);
- the same sanctions for violations during an organized trip (section 4 of article 12.23);
- 5000 r. from the driver or deprivation of the VU for 4 - 6 months, 50,000 rubles. from an official, 200,000 rubles. from legal (part 5 of article 12.23).
A solid amount of payments provides and last section law:
Violation of the requirements for the transportation of children, established by the Rules organized transportation of a group of children by buses, with the exception of cases provided for in parts 4 and 5 of this article, shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine on officials in the amount of twenty-five thousand rubles; on legal entities- one hundred thousand rubles.
Penalty for carrying 5 passengers
A fine for transporting 5 passengers in a car is imposed if the equipment is designed for 4 or fewer people, according to part 1 of article 12.23:
Violation of the rules for the transportation of people, with the exception of cases provided for by parts 2-6 of this article, shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred roubles.
And another sanction may await for the fact that an extra passenger is not fastened. This is 1000 r. under Article 12.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
Passenger overload penalty
A fine for overloading passengers in a car can also be issued only under Article 12.23 - 500 rubles, if there are extra ones among them. But with the total number of people corresponding to the number of seats, there should be no punishment. Moreover, Article 12.21 is inapplicable here. After all, it concerns only cargo, but not people.
Fine for transporting people in a cargo van
Penalty for transporting people in unsuitable for this cargo van imposed under Part 2 of Article 12.23:
Transportation of people outside the cab of a car (except for cases permitted by the Rules of the Road), a tractor, other self-propelled vehicles, on a cargo trailer, in a trailer-dacha, in the body of a cargo motorcycle or outside the seats provided for by the design of the motorcycle, shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of one thousand rubles.
But if we are talking about accompanying property for which seats are equipped, the sanction is not applied. In this case, there should be no more than two people, the same number of seats.
Fine for transporting people in the trunk
A fine for transporting people in a trunk intended for another purpose is also imposed under Part 2 of Article 12.23, that is, the driver will give 1000 rubles. He is also waiting for a trial on whether the person ended up in this compartment of his own free will. And if it turns out that it is not, a criminal article is also applied.
Fine for standing passengers in a fixed-route taxi
Driver fine for standing passengers found in fixed-route taxi, will be 500 r. Part 1 of Article 12.23 applies here, and not part 2, because people are inside the car, not outside it. But this is still a violation, since according to the rules, there are no standing places in the minibus. This is not possible due to its technical characteristics.
Fine for transporting people in the back of a Gazelle
The fine for transporting people in the back of a Gazelle not equipped for this is 500 rubles. Part 2 of Article 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses works here. If there are seats in the body for those accompanying the cargo, they can be there. The driver should not be punished for the presence of employees. It will also be possible to avoid sanctions if the car is completely converted for passengers, and the driver has category C or D rights. But you can only carry adults, not children.
Fine for illegal transportation of passengers
For those who are professionally involved in the transportation of people, more severe sanctions are possible in case of violations. One of them is illegal transportation, that is, the lack of permission for this type of activity. The punishment for it is regulated by Section 2.1 of Article 12.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. The driver for the lack of a document will have to pay 5000 rubles.
Penalty for incorrect transportation of passengers
Driver fine for incorrect transportation passengers is imposed in accordance 
from Article 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. For general violations, Part 1 is used, this is 500 r. in favor of the state.
This section of the law works in the vast majority of cases when it comes to personal cars. For example, if the number of people in the cabin exceeds the number of seats intended for them. That is, a fine for transporting passengers without a seat is 500 rubles.
Improper transportation of people is also a refusal to use seat belts. For the fact that the passenger did not buckle up, they will punish not only him under part 1 of article 12.29 Code of Administrative Offenses 500 rubles, but also the driver. The latter is threatened with the application of Article 12.6 of the Code, that is, the payment of 1000 rubles. The penalty for improper transportation of passengers on a motorcycle will be similar. The sanction will apply to the rider of the bike if they are not wearing protective helmets.
There is also a fine for a passenger in the trunk - 1000 rubles. It is imposed under Part 2 of Article 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
Punishment for transporting people in the body
Putting passengers in a car body, if it is not adapted for this, is even more dangerous than stuffing a cabin or passenger compartment with them. And therefore the punishment for this is provided for in part 2 of article 12.23. This is a fine of 1000 rubles. It does not grow because of the number of people in the back. But this does not eliminate the need to install seats there.
It is possible if:
- install and firmly fix chairs or benches at a distance of 30-50 cm from the floor;
- make sides at least 30 cm high from the seats;
- provide communication between passengers and the driver using a button that gives an audible signal;
- arrange an awning and lighting for transported people.
It is allowed to drive such vehicles only with category C or D. All technical changes must be approved by experts and registered with the traffic police.
Changes for drivers
Fines for having too many people in a car and putting them there to be transported, 
where it is inconvenient and dangerous for a person to travel, are small. And there are many cases when they got injured or died because of this, getting into an accident.
Therefore, legislators are increasingly talking about the need to increase penalties under the mentioned articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses. A proposal has already been put forward to increase compulsory payments from those who are seen on illegal transportation (there are many accidents involving such motorists).
It is possible that Article 12.3 will be amended, and a taxi driver without permission will no longer pay 5,000 rubles, but 20,000 - 30,000 rubles. From legal entities it is proposed to take a fine of 300,000 - 500,000 rubles.
So far, these changes are only in the plans. But motorists need to follow the law. Recently, under many articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses, punishments have been toughened. It is possible that fines will be increased for extra passengers and for other violations related to the transportation of people.
Sometimes a person is ready to suffer inconvenience in a car or bus, just to get to right place. But the driver should not use it. By taking on an extra passenger, he not only runs the risk of running into a fine, but also takes on additional responsibility for human life, exposing it to unjustified danger.

What you will not see on the road. There are times when extreme people drive not only in an overloaded car interior, but also on its hood and even roof. Such phenomena are far from uncommon, and this applies not only to large cities, but also to very small settlements. And if violators of their megacities are quite easy to catch and punish, then in small settlements- this is not an easy task, because there are no surveillance cameras and so many traffic police officers on the roads.
Prohibition on the transportation of extra passengers from clause 22.8 of the SDA
So that some thrill-seekers do not have the opportunity to violate the established rules, and there is this law. It says that the ban on the transportation of people outside the cab of the car is prohibited. An exception is a truck with a special platform equipped with sides, with a body in the form of a van. The ban applies to vehicles such as:
- tractor,
- other self-propelled mechanisms,
- trailers for cargo and trailers - houses,
- and all types of motorcycles, if they do not have seats in their design.
If the technical documentation of a particular transport provides for a certain number of people who can be transported, you should this installation. On some machines, such as public transport, standing places are allowed, but this is determined by the design of the car.
There are times when it is necessary to seat a passenger in excess of the prescribed norm, as they say, we are all people ... And the sixth ride in a passenger car is far from a rare case, especially when it comes to delivering a company home after Sabantuy. In this case, you should drive only in the right lane and observe speed mode no more than 50 km per hour. This will allow not to attract the attention of the traffic police inspector, save the overloaded suspension and the car as a whole, and most importantly, deliver all passengers in integrity and safety.
The amount of penalties for an extra passenger
Article 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation provides for punishment for the transportation of extra citizens in a passenger car. For each "head" you will face a fine of 500 rubles.
Important! An extra passenger, by default, cannot be fastened with a seat belt, for this additional penalties will be imposed, namely: the driver will suffer 1,000 rubles, and the one who is superfluous will have to fork out another 500 rubles.

Some may think that such a list necessary conditions over complicates matters. Perhaps so, but the life and health of our children on the road depends entirely on the skills of the driver and the state of transport. Such requirements were born not just like that. Dies in car accidents every year a large number of children, therefore, the transportation of young citizens should be taken seriously.
Outcome
Every driver is obliged to observe safety measures on highways or city roads, regardless of which car he drives. Only by respecting traffic rules, other participants in the movement, we can protect ourselves and our families from accidents or troubles associated with penalties. Remember that on the road you are responsible not only for your own safety, but also for the safety of all motorists and pedestrians!
If during the trip there are more people in the car than its technical characteristics allow, this is contrary to traffic rules and is punishable by law. For violation, administrative liability is provided in accordance with article of the Code of Administrative Offenses No. 12.23. In such cases, traffic police officers have the right to issue a fine for an extra passenger, as well as for several other items.

So if in the back seat passenger car If a traffic police officer notices four passengers, he must issue a fine for violation. The transportation of an extra person will cost the driver 500 rubles (article 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, paragraph 1).

If there is an extra passenger in the car, then he does not have enough seat belts. This is a separate offense, which is added to the main one and is estimated at 1,000 rubles (Article 12.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses).
Sometimes in road practice there are lovers of extreme trips when people are outside the cabin. For such a dangerous movement, a third fine of 1,000 rubles is added to all of the above (Article 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, Part 2).
All of these sanctions are imposed on the driver, as he is responsible for the life and health of his passengers. In addition, an unfastened passenger will also pay a fine, because. violates clause 5.1 of the traffic rules, which obliges those in the car to use seat belts. The penalty will be 500 rubles (part 1 of article 12.29 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).
In what cases is it considered that there is an extra passenger in the car
If there are more than 5 people in the car, then for an ordinary passenger car this is a violation of the rules. According to the SDA (paragraph 22.8), it is allowed to transport the number of people, which is provided for by the technical characteristics of the vehicle. For a standard passenger car, this is five people, including the driver.
TO trucks even more stringent requirements are imposed, since violations threaten more serious consequences and can lead to the death of a large number of people on the road. Passengers can be transported in the cabin, taking into account the number of seats. It is allowed to put people in the body only if the requirements of clause 22 of the SDA are observed. Otherwise, the fine will be 1,000 rubles (Article 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, Part 2). The amount is fixed and does not change depending on the number of passengers.
A driver carrying people in the back of a truck will not be fined if all of the following conditions are met (Section 22 of the SDA):
the person driving has a driving license for the right to drive a vehicle of category "C" or "C1" for at least 3 years;

seats placed along the rear or side boards must have reliable backs;
transportation of children in the body is prohibited.
On the bus depending on it technical capabilities a certain number of seating and standing places are established. Information about this is posted in the salon. But there are situations when each passenger must be provided with a separate seat (clause 22.3 of the SDA). The rule applies:
for intercity transportation;
when driving in mountainous terrain;
when the bus is used to transport tourists and conduct excursions;
when transporting children.
How to understand how many people can be transported in a car
To determine the correctness of the transportation of people, the following requirements should be followed.
Passengers must be in the cabin of the car or in the body if there are equipped seats.
If the car has seat belts not only in the front but also in the rear seats, then each passenger must be fastened.
Children under 12 years old, in accordance with clause 22.9 of the SDA, are transported using seat belts (only from 7 years old), or specialized restraints that correspond to their weight and height, or other devices that allow the child to be fastened with seat belts.
The number of people must match technical regulations For specific car(some models are category B, but allow you to transport up to 7 people without violating the rules).
Many car models, which are now noticeably outdated, were produced from the factory not equipped with seat belts in the rear seats. In this case, take responsibility for unfastened passenger traffic police officers are not allowed.
The driver is prohibited from transporting people in a trailer of any configuration, outside the cabin passenger car(in the trunk, on the roof, on the hood), in a towed car.
What is the danger of carrying extra passengers
Exceeding the number of passengers is a risk to their life and health. In Russia, people often don't take road safety seriously enough. Some drivers neglect the rule of transporting people or fixing children with special mounts.
But traffic rules are based on sad experience and are written based on the real situation on the road in order to prevent the death of citizens. It is important to remember and understand the following.
An overcrowded vehicle shifts its center of gravity, making it difficult to maneuver. This increases the risk of drifts, accidents, failure of auto parts.
Exceeding the established norm for passengers leads to an increase in the braking distance.
A crowded car needs more time to overtake. Sometimes drivers do not take this fact into account, which causes accidents on the highway.
Passenger pressure on rear doors may cause them to open and people to fall onto the road from a moving vehicle.
In addition, overloading passengers harms the car and leads to rapid wear of parts. The machine may fail while driving due to excessive load on the rear suspension.
Examples of overloading cars by people
Usually, an overload situation occurs when people go on vacation. Common mistake- The child is not allocated a separate place. Ignoring the rules of transportation, some believe that 4 passenger seats are for adults, and children can be picked up.
This is an erroneous opinion. According to the rules, each child must be allocated a separate seat in the cabin. Even if four children can easily fit in the back seat, such transportation will be a serious violation (clause 22.9 of the SDA).
To prevent overloading, the number of people in the cabin must correspond to the characteristics of the car, prescribed in the registration certificate.
If according to the documents the car is five-seater, then the number of passengers should not exceed 4 people, the fifth is the driver.
Difficulties with this may arise in families that have 4 or more children. In this case, the only correct way out for joint trips is to use suitable car, in which the number of seats is more than five.
Among foreign cars many seven-seater models of crossovers and minivans. From among the representatives domestic auto industry big family may come in handy "Lada Largus". To manage it, it is enough to have driving category IN.
If the trip big company is one-time, it is better to use the services of a taxi, where some of the passengers will transfer. This will not only avoid fines. The main thing is to ensure safety, otherwise a fun vacation trip can end in tragedy.
So, for each model of the machine there are maximum loads, the excess of which causes damage to technology and threatens with rapid wear of parts. But this is not the most important thing. In road practice, overloaded cars often get into accidents, which, if the norm of the number of passengers were observed, could have been avoided. Rules are created to ensure the safety of all road users. Many drivers do not take these regulations seriously enough. Because of this, fines are provided to protect drivers from violating the threat of financial punishment.
