Government Russian Federation considers the issue of returning punishment for exceeding speed limit for 10 kilometers an hour. Recall that since 2013, the permitted speed limit in the country is 20 kilometers per hour.
According to domestic publications, the government of the Russian Federation is discussing the issue of reducing the speed limit in cities to 50 km / h, at the same time with this limit it is planned to return to fines for speeding by 10 km / h. Thus, with signs “50”, drivers will be able to drive with impunity at a speed of no more than 60 km / h. Currently in cities the speed limit is 60 km/h, but drivers have the right to drive without any penalty at a speed of 80 km/h.

It is noted that such a decision can also be made due to the replacement of standard signs with signs of a reduced size. This experiment has already been carried out on several streets of the capital of the Russian Federation. Experts believe that "reducing the speed limit in cities is mandatory, since new signs will not be visible at a speed of 70-80 km / h." Plus, the number of accidents will decrease.
We add that another option is also under consideration, which implies a reduction in the speed limit to 40 km / h and permissible excess at 20 km/h.
In 2019, a fine for exceeding the speed limit by 10 km/h may return in our country. The amount of the fine for exceeding the speed limit by 10-40 km/h is assumed to be will be 500 rubles. This measure is aimed at improving road safety. The document proposed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is published on the portal of draft legislative acts.
Recall that earlier, in 2013, the minimum speed limit was considered to be 20 km / h with a simultaneous increase in fines for various offenses, including speeding violations. It was assumed that drivers would be conscious and would not abuse the granted right.
As a rule, in the city, most drivers still slightly exceed the established limits, so the traffic police abandoned the idea of fining minor violations of the speed limit.
As practice has shown, this decision turned out to be erroneous. A significant part of the drivers perceived the raising of the speed limit as a permission to exceed the established norm. As a result average speed traffic flow increased from 60 to 80 km/h, and this led to an increase in accidents.
The Duma believes that the number of accidents has increased
The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent an explanatory note to the government to the bill, in which it justifies the need to introduce a restrictive measure. So, according to analysts, after raising the speed limit bar, the accident rate increased by 70%, 1.5 times more pedestrians died and were injured than in the previous similar period.
The document states that a collision of a car with a pedestrian at a speed of “only” 45 km / h already guarantees the death or serious injury of the latter by 60%. And when drivers feel impunity and significantly increase the speed of their car, the roads become more and more dangerous. If previously a slight excess of 10 km / h was unofficially allowed, now an excess of 20-30 km / h is considered the norm.
Planned restrictions are nothing new. This will be a return to the previous restrictions, so that motorists will quickly adapt to the new traffic regime.
Which would concern fines for speeding, the legislature is not going to make yet.
Monetary fines in the amount of from 500 to 5000 rubles , and in case of repeated speeding or if the speed limit is exceeded by 60 km / h or more, the driver will face deprivation of rights for a period from 4 months to 1 year .
Speeding fine in 2019
In accordance with the Code, the following types of punishments are imposed for exceeding the speed limit:
- exceeding the permitted speed by 20 to 40 km/h - a fine of 500 rubles (the case is being considered by the Internal Affairs Agencies);
- exceeding the speed limit by 40-60 km/h - a fine from 1,000 rubles to 1,500 rubles (considered by the Internal Affairs Agencies);
- exceeding the speed limit by 60-80 km/h - a fine from 2,000 rubles to 2,500 rubles or deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle for a period of 4 to 6 months (the case is being considered by the Internal Affairs Bodies or the Court);
- speeding by more than 80 km / h - a fine of 5,000 rubles or deprivation of rights for 6 months (the case is being considered by the Internal Affairs Bodies or the Court);
- repeated speeding by 40 to 60 km/h - a fine from 2,000 rubles to 2,500 rubles (considered by the Internal Affairs Agencies);
- repeated speed violation of 60 km/h or more - deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle for 1 year (a fine of 5,000 rubles upon fixing a violation traffic cameras), the case is considered by the Court or the Internal Affairs Bodies (if the speed limit was recorded by traffic cameras).
What violations are considered repeated?
To understand in which case the speed violation will be considered repeated, you need to refer to Art. 4.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, which reads:
A person who has been sentenced to an administrative penalty for committing an administrative offense shall be deemed to have been subjected to given punishment from the date of entry into force of the decision on the imposition of an administrative penalty until the expiration of one year from the date of completion of the execution of this decision.
This means that repeated speeding will be recorded if no more than a year has passed since the entry into force of the decision on administrative offense. When is the decision considered effective?
- 10 days have passed after it was handed over to the violator (or a copy of the decision was handed over), during which it can be appealed in court or with the head of the police department - art. 30.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation;
- 10 days after filing a complaint about the legality of the decision to exceed the permitted speed limit official- Art. 30.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, part 1;
- A day after filing a complaint against administrative arrest - Art. 30.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, part 3;
- 2 months after filing a complaint against the imposed fine in judiciary- Art. 30.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, part 1.1.
The beginning of the period during which speeding will be considered repeated (1 year) begins on the day following the official entry into force of the decision on an administrative offense.
How to determine the speed limit?
Chapter 10 of the Rules of the Road as amended on November 1, 2017 is fully devoted to the issues of speed limits. At the maximum speed allowed traffic many factors influence, including the location of the road (in a populated area or outside it, in a residential yard), the type of roadbed (road, motorway) and the type of vehicle (cars or trucks, motorcycles, buses).
The purpose of the vehicle also affects the speed limit:
- Independent movement;
- Towing;
- Transportation of passengers;
- Transportation of groups of children or people in the back of trucks.
To visually depict the maximum permitted speed for each specific situation, we have compiled a number of convenient tables.
The values indicated in the table can be changed in the direction of increasing the allowed speed, while appropriate signs are installed on the roads. It is not allowed to increase the speed limit more than those values that are prescribed for driving on motorways (high-speed roads).

With regard to other vehicles carrying large, heavy and dangerous goods, there is a special speed limit, which is agreed upon when concluding a contract for transportation.
Features of using radar to determine speed
When fixing speed violations by radars, inspectors are required to:
- Show the driver the speed data displayed in the device;
- Prove that these data refer specifically to his car, and were not recorded earlier;
- If the driver asks for documents confirming the conformity of the radar technical requirements and providing data on the possible error of their work, the inspector has no right to refuse;
- If the driver agrees with the radar readings, the inspector issues him a fine for speeding;
- If the driver disagrees with the radar data and the arguments of the traffic police inspector, or in the event that a deprivation of rights is threatened for speeding, an administrative protocol is drawn up. In the future, it is transferred to the local traffic police department or for consideration in court.
After receiving the decision, the driver has exactly 10 days to appeal it, otherwise the fine will have to be paid. To determine the amount of a fine, the lower limit established in Article 12.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation is always used.
Payment of fines for speeding with a 50% discount
Drivers of vehicles who have fines for minor traffic violations are entitled to their payment at a 50% discount if no more than 20 days have passed since the decision on the offense was made. The discount is not valid when using the installment or deferred payment service. Significant violations include driving while intoxicated, refusal of the driver to undergo a medical examination, re-driving oncoming lane, violations that caused serious harm to human health and many others.
In the field of speeding fines, a 50% discount can be calculated in all cases, except repeatedly exceeding the speed limit by 40 km/h or more (). The possibility of repaying the fine at a discount and the expiration date of the benefit is printed at the very bottom of the receipt issued by the inspector, under the amount of the original fine.
The Russian government wants to reduce the limit of unpunished speeding by drivers from the relatively recently introduced 20 to 10 km/h. As it became known to Gazeta.Ru from a source in the government, the amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses, developed by the Russian Federation on behalf of First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov, were discussed last Tuesday at a meeting with the participation of all interested departments and experts.
Information about the recent meeting, which considered the amendments developed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was confirmed to Gazeta.ru by the first deputy chairman and state construction and the leader of the party " Automotive Russia» Vyacheslav, who took part in the meeting. “The existing version of the document was discussed at the meeting,” Lysakov said. - I proposed a different solution to the task set by the government for the Ministry of Internal Affairs - it consists in reducing the speed limit exclusively in cities from the current 60 to 50 km / h, while maintaining the permissible speed limit - 20 km / h. The output will be the same - drivers will not be able to drive in cities faster than 70 km / h without violation.
According to the parliamentarian, the abolition of the current limit will cause a public outcry - motorists will perceive this as another attempt by the state to collect as many fines from them as possible.
“We increased this limit from 10 to 20 km / h for certain reasons: due to the preparation point system, fighting corruption on the roads. And I never proposed to cancel this innovation and now I oppose it, because all the conditions have been preserved. If now we start reshaping the Code of Administrative Offenses again, the number of violators will increase sharply, and the level of corruption will increase.”
At the same time, the interlocutor notes that the solution he proposed is in line with European development trends. road safety. “In Europe, in most cities, the maximum speed is limited to 50 km / h,” Lysakov gives an example.
The deputy notes that the government paid due attention to his arguments. “There was a constructive discussion, and it was decided to make several requests to the regions in order to understand what costs from the budgets would be required to implement this innovation. This is a formal procedure - it is clear that substantial funds this is not required. After receiving feedback on the proposal, it will be reported, after which the possibility of making adjustments to the bill will be considered, ”he explained.
There are a number of comments to the draft law by the State Legal Department (GPU), which does not support the text of the document in this version.
“I am completely for slowing down the speed limit, but only in this way. My position is fully shared by the head of the State Duma Committee on Transport, - added Lysakov. “At the same time, I would like to note that slowing down in cities alone will not solve the problem of pedestrian collisions. The figures that the government is talking about have really grown in recent years, but this is primarily due to the growth of the vehicle fleet itself.
In addition, poor driver training and the quality of equipment also affect pedestrian crossings in Russia, and the carelessness of the pedestrians themselves, lulled by the state's excessive concern for their safety. They cross the road in headphones, not looking around. Even at a speed of 50 km / h, you can not have time to slow down.
Vladimir Kuzin, in turn, noted that he did not see fundamental difference between two options: reducing the general speed limit in cities and reducing the permissible speed limit to 10 km/h. “After all, in both cases, drivers will not be able to drive faster than 70 km / h with impunity,” he explained. - And in order to reduce the speed limit in cities to 50 km / h, as in Europe, we need strong arguments. I have not yet familiarized myself with the proposals of the participants of the last meeting on this matter.
It is worth emphasizing that the bill of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the version published earlier assumes a reduction allowable speed movements not only settlements but also on all other types of roads.
The size of the fine for speeding is from 500 to 5000 rubles. For a significant excess, deprivation is possible driving license for a period of 4 months to 1 year.
If the speed limit is up to 20 km/h, there is no penalty. IN soon it is possible to reduce this threshold to 10 km/h.
Exceeding the maximum permitted speed is the most common violation. There is a myth among drivers that it is allowed to exceed the speed limit by 20 km/h. Such an opinion is erroneous. There is no penalty for exceeding the speed limit by 20 km/h, but it is forbidden by the rules to exceed the established speed limit.
After reading this article, you should have no questions about the responsibility of drivers for exceeding top speed movement. Detailed description, the text of the law, tables, information about the 50% discount, features of automatic fixing of violations and visual infographics.
Cash fines for speeding violations
The size of the fine for speeding depends on the difference between the maximum permitted speed and the fixed speed. The extent to which such a calculation method is correct can be discussed separately. For example, for exceeding the speed limit by 40 km / h in a residential area and a motorway, the same fine is provided - 500 rubles. In the residential area alone, the excess is almost 3 times the permitted limit and poses a significantly greater danger than a barely noticeable excess on the motorway. A little distracted, let's go directly to the size of traffic police fines. First, consider the usual monetary fines that are relevant for most drivers, which are issued by the traffic police officer directly at the site of the violation.
Pay attention again exceeding the maximum speed by 20 km / h is a violation of the Rules of the road for which there is no responsibility.
Disqualification for speeding
The decision to deprive the rights can only be made by the court. Thus, if the driver faces the threat of being left without driving license he has the opportunity to resolve this issue with the traffic police, either directly on the spot or later in the department. Traffic police officers are authorized to either issue a decision to impose a fine, or take the case to court.
The practice has developed that in case of conflict-free communication, drivers are issued with an appropriate monetary fine and do not reach the trial.
The amount of the fine in case of automatic fixing of the speed of movement
Features of administrative responsibility when fixing violations of the Rules of the road in automatic mode:
- It is possible to impose only a monetary fine;
- The amount of the fine is the smallest possible.
These provisions are regulated by Part 3.1 of Article 4.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation
In the cases provided for by paragraph 3 of Article 28.6 of this Code, an administrative penalty is imposed in the form of administrative fine. In this case, the amount of the imposed administrative fine must be the smallest within the limits of the sanction of the applicable article or part of the article of the Special Part of this Code, and in cases where the sanction of the applicable article or part of the article of the Special Part of this Code provides for an administrative penalty in the form of deprivation of the right to drive vehicles or administrative arrest and there is no provision for an administrative penalty in the form of an administrative fine, an administrative penalty is imposed in the form of an administrative fine in the amount of five thousand rubles.
The table of penalties for automatic fixing of violations looks more loyal to drivers.
| Penalties for speeding with automatic fixation of violations | |
|---|---|
| Exceeding | Amount of the fine |
| Exceeding the speed limit by 20 km/h or less | No penalty |
| Speeding from 21 km/h to 40 km/h | 500 ₽ |
| Speeding from 41 km/h to 60 km/h | 1000 ₽ |
| Speeding from 61 km/h to 80 km/h | 2000 ₽ |
| Speeding over 80 km/h | 5000 ₽ |
In case of automatic fixation of a violation, a fine will be issued to the owner of the vehicle.
