This section of the Rules contains 9 points, but only the last three requirements of this section concern you directly.
Rules. Section 22. Clause 22.7. The driver is obliged to embark and disembark passengers only after a complete stop vehicle, and start moving only with the doors closed and do not open them until they come to a complete stop.
I see no need to comment on this requirement of the Rules.
Rules. Section 22. Clause 22.8. It is forbidden to transport people outside the car.
Any normal driver understands that transporting people in cargo trailer dangerous, and therefore prohibited by the Rules.
But what's interesting! It would seem that you can move comfortably in a caravan trailer, lying in front of the TV.
Rules. Section 22. Clause 22.8. It is forbidden to transport people in excess of the number specified in the technical characteristics of the vehicle.
The technical documentation attached to the car always indicates how many people it is designed for. And if this convertible is designed for four people, then they are thin or fat, small or large, there is no place for the fifth.
And separately about the transportation of children.
Rules. Section 22. Clause 22.9.
Transportation of children under the age of 7 years in a passenger car, which is designed with seat belts, must be carried out using child restraint systems (devices) appropriate for the weight and height of the child.
Transportation of children aged 7 to 11 years (inclusive) in a passenger car, the design of which provides for seat belts, must be carried out using child restraint systems (devices) appropriate to the weight and height of the child, or using seat belts, ...
... but on front seat a car - only with the use of child restraint systems (devices).
Rules. Section 22. Clause 22.9. Last paragraph. It is forbidden to transport children under 12 years of age on back seat motorcycle.
That is, it is definitely impossible.
And this is all the more impossible! The front seat is for the driver only.
As for motorcycles and mopeds, here drivers need to know one more requirement of the Rules - for the first two years after obtaining the license, they will drive their vehicles all alone. For novice drivers with less than 2 years of experience, the Rules generally prohibited the transportation of passengers:
Rules. Section 22. Clause 22.2.1. Transportation of people on a motorcycle must be carried out by a driver who has driver's license for the right to drive vehicles of category "A" or subcategory "A1" for 2 years or more, the transportation of people on a moped must be carried out by a driver who has a driver's license for the right to drive vehicles of any category or subcategory for 2 years or more.
The rules for the carriage of passengers in traffic rules are given special attention, since the car has always been considered a source of increased danger. Changes are periodically made to this section, especially if the death rate of passengers in road accidents increases for one reason or another. Requirements for the carriage of passengers are specified in clause 22 of the Rules.
Disembarkation and embarkation of passengers
The vehicle driver should disembark and board passengers only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. The start of movement is permissible only when the doors are completely closed.
This rule is mandatory, but not all drivers comply with it, moving away even when the passenger door of the vehicle is open.
In this situation, there is a violation of more than one rule, since the driver of the vehicle and passengers are required to buckle up before starting the movement.
Carriage of passengers in a car
Clause 22.8 of the SDA establishes the following restrictions:
- in any type of vehicle, except for the carriage of passengers in a van body or in the body of a cargo transport vehicle with an onboard platform, it is prohibited to carry passengers outside the cabin or additional structures for motorcycles;
- it is inadmissible to transport people in quantities exceeding the permissible characteristics of the norms.
At the first point, some drivers periodically close their eyes, carrying people not only in the cab of the car, but also on the hoods, in the trunk, on the roof of the vehicle. It should be borne in mind that the blame for the death of passengers in the event of their death will fall only on the driver, who did not take care of ensuring their safety.
The fine for violation of the rules for the carriage of passengers is 1000 rubles.
For the execution of the second paragraph, a limited number of seats is provided in case passenger cars or restriction on technical specifications for large-sized public transportsuch as buses, trolleybuses or trams.
For transportation of an additional person in the car, a fine of 500 rubles is provided in accordance with Article 12.23 of the Administrative Code. Also, the inspector has the right to issue an additional fine for transporting a passenger without using a seat belt.
Violation of the rule of carriage of passengers can be observed in a situation when there are 6 people in the car instead of 5, and for the sixth there is no seat belt, which means he will not be able to use the protection.
Passenger safety rules
Since January 2012, seat belts are compulsory for all types of vehicles.
In accordance with clause 2.1.2 of the SDA, drivers are required to transport their passengers using safety belts, and if there is an unfastened passenger, do not start driving.

If more than 8, but not more than 16 people are transported in the back of a truck, taking into account the driver and passengers in the cab, then the driver must have category B or subcategory D1.
