Good afternoon, dear reader.
This article will focus on the changes that have been made to the text starting April 4, 2017. Starting from this date, new clauses have been added to the rules that introduced additional restrictions for drivers with a driving experience of less than 2 years.
In addition, the changes affected the maximum speed of motorcycles, as well as the rules for the use of identification marks (novice driver, road train, deaf driver, etc.). Let's consider the innovations in more detail.
Maximum speed for motorcycles on motorways
Consider paragraph 10.3 of the rules of the road:
10.3.
- cars and trucks with a maximum permissible weight of not more than 3.5 tons on highways - at a speed not exceeding 110 km / h, on other roads - not more than 90 km / h;
- intercity and small buses and motorcycles on all roads - no more than 90 km / h;
10.3.
Outside settlements, movement is allowed:
- motorcycles, cars and trucks with a maximum permissible weight of no more than 3.5 tons on highways - at a speed of no more than 110 km / h, on other roads - no more than 90 km / h;
- intercity and small-seater buses on all roads - no more than 90 km / h;
Thus, starting from April 4, 2017, motorcyclists can ride at a speed of 110 km / h. Previously, the limit was 90 km / h.
Towing restrictions for novice drivers
Consider the new paragraph 20.2 1 of the SDA:
20.2 1 . When towing, towing vehicles must be driven by drivers who have the right to drive vehicles for 2 years or more.
Let's analyze the new item in parts:
- This clause only applies to the towing of motor vehicles. Those. towing trailers any driver can do it and it will not be a violation.
- The restrictions apply only to the driver of the towing vehicle, i.e. pulling car (driving in front). A driver with any experience can drive the second car.
- The driver of the towing vehicle must have the right to drive any vehicle for 2 or more years.
For example, if a driver at the age of 16 received a license of category M, and at the age of 18 received a license of category B, then since his experience is more than 2 years, he can immediately tow.
In this case, the restriction applies specifically to novice drivers, i.e. having a driver's license of any category for less than 2 years. Please note that below we will consider the restrictions for motorcyclists, which apply not only to novice drivers, although the wording of the paragraph of the rules is similar.
Fine for violation of the rules of towing is provided for by Article 12.21 of the Administrative Code and amounts to 500 rubles (or warning):
1. Violation of the rules for the carriage of goods, as well as the rules for towing -
The driver of the second car cannot tow the first car, because this is prohibited by new clause 20.2 1 of the rules. The fine for violation will be 500 rubles.
Another possible option is to swap cars. However, since the drivers are not included in the OSAGO insurance, it will be 500 rubles (for each of the drivers).
What is the best way to proceed in this case? It's actually pretty simple. You need to ask the traffic police, who are preparing to issue a fine, to help pull the car out of the mud.
Restrictions on the carriage of people on motorcycles and mopeds
Consider the updated paragraph 22.2 1 of the SDA:
22.2 1 . Transportation of people on a motorcycle must be carried out by a driver who has a driver's license for the right to drive vehicles of category "A" or subcategory "A1" for 2 or more years, 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 a subcategory for 2 years or more.
This item consists of two parts, for motorcycles and for mopeds. Let's consider them separately.
Restrictions for moped drivers
Everything is pretty simple here. To transport people on a moped, a driver must have a driver's license of any category for 2 years or longer. Those. a novice driver is not allowed to transport people on a moped.
Let me remind you that a driver's license is currently suitable for driving mopeds, in which any category is open and.
Restrictions for motorcyclists
Restrictions for motorcyclists are slightly more complex. To transport people on a motorcycle, you need to have a driving license of category A or subcategory A1 for 2 years. Please note that this restriction does not only apply to novice drivers.
For example, a driver has 40 years of driving experience in category B, C, D cars and after retirement wants to change to a motorcycle. He gets a category A driver's license and buys a motorcycle with a cradle, which he and his wife plans to ride to the country.
Such a driver cannot be called a beginner from the point of view of traffic rules, since the driving experience exceeds 2 years. However, the driver cannot carry passengers for 2 years.
In this case, the driver only needs to put the motorcycle in the garage and put the certificate on the shelf to return to the idea in 2 years. Naturally, during this time the driver will not become more experienced. Rather, on the contrary, he will partially lose the skills acquired at the driving school.
The fine for violation of the rules for the carriage of passengers is provided for in part 1 and amounts to 500 rubles:
1. Violation of the rules for the transportation of people, with the exception of the cases provided for by parts 2 - 6 of this article, -
shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred rubles.
Features of installing the "Novice driver" sign
Minor changes were also made to the description of the "Novice driver" sign:
"Novice driver" - in the form of a yellow square (150 mm side) with a black exclamation mark 110 mm high - behind power-driven vehicles (except for tractors, self-propelled vehicles and motorcycles) driven by drivers who have the right to drive these vehicles for less than 2 years.
"Novice driver" - in the form of a yellow square (side 150 mm) with an image of a black exclamation mark 110 mm high - behind a motor vehicle (except for tractors, self-propelled vehicles, motorcycles and mopeds) driven by drivers who have the right to drive the specified vehicles for less than 2 years.
Until April 4, 2017, the "Novice Driver" sign had to be installed, including on the back of mopeds. The new edition of the SDA cancels this requirement.
Introduction of a fine for lack of identification marks
7.15 1 . There are no identification marks that must be installed in accordance with the Basic Provisions for the Admission of Vehicles to Operation and the Duties of Officials to Ensure Road Safety, approved by the Resolution of the Council of Ministers - the Government of the Russian Federation of October 23, 1993 N 1090 "On Road Traffic Rules ".
Starting from April 4, 2017, the operation of vehicles on which identification marks are not installed is prohibited. These are the following signs:
- Road train.
- Transportation of children.
- Deaf driver.
- Training vehicle.
- Speed \u200b\u200bLimit.
- Dangerous cargo.
- Oversized cargo.
- Slow-moving vehicle.
- Long vehicle.
- Novice driver.
Thus, for the absence of the above signs, it is possible to obtain a fine of 500 rubles (Part 1 of Article 12.5 of the Administrative Code):
1. Driving a vehicle in the presence of malfunctions or conditions under which, in accordance with the Basic Provisions on the Admission of Vehicles to Operation and the obligations of road safety officials, the operation of a vehicle is prohibited, with the exception of malfunctions and conditions specified in parts 2 to 7 of this article -
shall entail a warning or the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred rubles.
Additional penalties (for example) are not imposed in this case.
Please note, for the illegal installation of the above signs, unlike, there is no punishment.
For example, you can install the Novice Driver sign immediately after obtaining your driver's license at age 18 and not remove it until you retire. This will not be a violation.
Another important note that applies to all innovations. The new rules for novice drivers have nothing to do with the presence of the Novice Driver sign on the car. Only the experience of a particular driver matters.
For example, several drivers (mother and daughter) use a car. At the same time, the daughter is a novice driver, and this is evidenced by the identification mark on the rear bumper. However, this sign does not impose restrictions on the second driver of the car. If the mother is driving, she can tow other vehicles without removing the sign. This will not be a violation.
The same goes for the reverse situation. If the towing car does not have the “Novice driver” mark, but a driver with less than two years of driving experience is driving, then this driver risks getting 2 fines at once (for not having a sign and for violating the rules of towing).
In conclusion, I suggest you read the full text of the updated traffic rules:
Good luck on the road!
Alexey-232
It's good that anyone with less than 2 years of experience was not introduced to accelerate over 70 km / h ...
"Please note that there is no punishment for illegal installation of the above signs, in contrast to the Invalid sign."
Apparently, they forgot to add another sign "Training vehicle". ;)
Can I not hang the "Novice driver" sign on the car if I have a license of category "A", which is more than two years old, and there is category "B" which is less than two years old.
Correct the typo (there is a ride):
For example, you can install the Thorns sign and eat with it all year round. This will not be a violation.
Another example related to towing. Two cars went on a joint off-road trip to the country house. The driver of the first car has 20 years of driving experience. The driver of the second car is the son of the first driver who has just obtained a driver's license. The more experienced driver drives first and gets stuck in a muddy ditch. What to do?
And you can also write a power of attorney for an experienced driver and he will be able to drive a car without a CTP policy and he will not get anything for it. According to the Law on MTPL, the car owner is obliged to insure his liability for MTPL within 10 days ...
I didn’t understand with the "Novice Driver" sticker. For example, a father with 20 years of experience does not want to see this sticker on his car, but from time to time his son gets behind the wheel of the vehicle, having no more than six months of driving experience. Rip it off every time?
Just buy a suction cup sticker and you will be happy.
Roman-87, interest Ask. Description of the "Novice driver" sign:
"Novice driver" - in the form of a yellow square (side 150 mm) with a black exclamation mark 110 mm high - behind motor vehicles (excluding tractors, self-propelled vehicles, motorcycles and mopeds) driven by drivers who are authorized to drive the specified vehicles less than 2 years.
If the driver has the right to drive power-driven vehicles for less than 2 years, then an identification mark must be installed. The category does not matter.
Those. if you have a category A certificate for more than 2 years, then you do not need to hang up a "Novice driver" sign.
Good luck on the road!
Roman-88, thanks for the comment, the article has been updated.
Good luck on the road!
Why is nothing said about the transportation of bulky goods for beginners?
Mikhail-101
Such a question, my son has exactly 2 years of experience, does he fall under these changes?
And until tomorrow, do not wait chtol, when the experience is already 2 years and 1 day? Or is it necessary to carry a passenger on a moped?
meteorhost, because no changes were made in this regard.
Good luck on the road!
Hello. Tell me. Ticket 7, question 10 "At what speed are motorcycles allowed to travel outside settlements on all roads?" - now the answer is correct (no more than 90 km / h). In connection with the last edit, a discrepancy is obtained. How to be. Are we waiting for the update of the question and answer, or am I misunderstanding something? Thanks in advance for your reply.
Colleagues, hello.
the question is:
The traffic code says - "The vehicles must be equipped with identification marks:
"Spikes" - in the form of an equilateral triangle .... at the rear of motor vehicles with studded tires; "
But the question is .... inside or outside the glass?
If I have tinted glass - and I pasted a sign, but it is not visible, why should I be fined according to traffic rules?
They asked to stick it - I did it. Nowhere is it written that it was visible to other road users from a certain distance.
Or, for example, I pasted it on, but I haven't washed the car for a year - the glass is dirty. Is there anything to write a fine for?
Ilya, Hello.
As you understand, there is no practice on this issue yet. After a while, it will become known whether they are fined for installing the "Thorns" sign in the ways you indicated.
Good luck on the road!
identification mark - transportation of children - should be installed on a personal car? or only for specialized transport, eg school buses?
Irina, paragraph 22.6 of the SDA:
22.6. Organized transportation of a group of children must be carried out in accordance with these Rules, as well as the rules approved by the Government of the Russian Federation, in a bus marked with the "Transportation of Children" sign.
Signs must be displayed on any bus that carries out organized transportation of children. Including on a private bus.
Good luck on the road!
In this article, we will consider changes in traffic rules for novice drivers. Prepare to read to the end, because the information is interesting and important.
From April 4, 2017, restrictions have been established for drivers with a driving experience of less than 2 years. The innovations were adopted by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of March 24, 2017 No. 333 and relate to the towing of vehicles, the carriage of passengers on motor vehicles, the transportation of bulky, heavy and dangerous goods, as well as the mandatory presence of the “Novice driver” sign.
As reported on the website of the Government of the Russian Federation, the decisions made are aimed at reducing the accident rate with the participation of novice drivers.
We will analyze in detail the innovations for drivers who have less than 2 years of license.
The following items have been added to the SDA:
Clause 20.2 (1):
When towing, towing vehicles must be driven by drivers who have the right to drive vehicles for 2 years or more.
Clarification.
Towing is allowed if the towing vehicle is driven by a driver who has a driver's license for 2 or more years. At the same time, it is not specified that the rights should be of a certain category. Therefore, a driver who has a license of any category for more than 2 years can tow. There are no restrictions on driving a towed vehicle.
Clause 22.2 (1):
Transportation of people on a motorcycle must be carried out by a driver who has a driver's license for the right to drive vehicles of category "A" or subcategory "A1" for 2 or more years, 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 a subcategory for 2 years or more.
Clarification.
In order to transport passengers on a moped, you must have a driving experience (of any category or subcategory) of 2 years or more.
Carriage of passengers on a motorcycle is allowed only to drivers who have had a driver's license of category "A" or subcategory "A1" for 2 years or more. That is, here we are already talking not about the general driving experience, but only about the experience of driving a motor vehicle.
About the sign "Novice driver" and the punishment for its absence.
From 04.04.2017, clause 7.15 (1) has been added to the List of faults and conditions under which the operation of vehicles is prohibited
Clause 7.15 (1):
There are no identification marks that must be installed in accordance with paragraph 8 of the Basic Provisions for the Admission of Vehicles to Operation and the Duties of Officials to Ensure Road Safety, approved by the Resolution of the Council of Ministers - Government of the Russian Federation of October 23, 1993 N 1090 "On the rules road traffic ".
What does it mean?
First, let's figure out what kind of identification marks are we talking about? We open the traffic rules book on the last pages and there we find the appendix - Basic provisions for the admission of vehicles to operation and the duties of officials to ensure road safety. These Guidelines also have an appendix - the List of faults and conditions under which the operation of vehicles is prohibited.
In paragraph 8 of the Basic Provisions we see:
The following identification marks must be installed on vehicles:
"Road train" - in the form of three orange lanterns, located horizontally on the roof of the cab with gaps between them from 150 to 300 mm - on trucks and wheeled tractors (1.4 t class and above) with trailers, as well as on articulated buses and trolleybuses;
"Thorns" - in the form of a white equilateral triangle with its apex upwards with a red border, in which the letter "Ш" is inscribed in black (the side of the triangle is not less than 200 mm, the width of the border is 1/10 of the side) - behind power-driven vehicles with studded tires; "Carriage of children" - in the form of a yellow square with a red border (border width - 1/10 of the side), with a black image of the road sign symbol 1.23 (the side of the square of the identification plate located in front of the vehicle must be at least 250 mm, behind - 400 mm);
"Deaf driver" - in the form of a yellow circle with a diameter of 160 mm with three black circles with a diameter of 40 mm inside, located at the corners of an imaginary equilateral triangle, the apex of which is facing downward, - in front and behind a motor vehicle driven by deaf and dumb or deaf drivers;
"Training vehicle" - in the form of an equilateral white triangle with apex upward with a red border, in which the letter "U" is inscribed in black (side not less than 200 mm, border width - 1/10 of the side), - front and rear of power-driven vehicles used for training driving (installation of a double-sided sign on the roof of a car is allowed);
"Speed \u200b\u200bLimit" - in the form of a reduced color image of a road sign 3.24 with an indication of the permitted speed (the diameter of the sign is at least 160 mm, the width of the border is 1/10 of the diameter) - on the back side of the body on the left side of motor vehicles carrying out organized transportation of groups of children transporting oversized heavy and dangerous goods, as well as in cases where the maximum speed of the vehicle in terms of technical characteristics is lower than that specified in clauses 10.3 and 10.4 of the Traffic Rules of the Russian Federation;
"Dangerous cargo":
when carrying out international transportation of dangerous goods - in the form of a rectangle measuring 400 x 300 mm, having a reflective orange coating with a black border with a width of not more than 15 mm, - in front and behind of vehicles, on the sides of tanks, as well as in established cases - on lateral sides of vehicles and containers;
when carrying out other transportation of dangerous goods - in the form of a rectangle measuring 690 x 300 mm, the right side of which measuring 400 x 300 mm is colored orange, and the left side is white with a black border 15 mm wide - at the front and rear of the vehicles.
The identification mark is marked with symbols characterizing the dangerous properties of the transported cargo;
"Bulky cargo" - in the form of a shield measuring 400 x 400 mm with diagonally applied red and white alternating stripes 50 mm wide with a reflective surface;
"Slow-moving vehicle" - in the form of an equilateral triangle with a fluorescent red coating and with a yellow or red reflective border (triangle side length from 350 to 365 mm, border width from 45 to 48 mm) - behind motor vehicles for which the manufacturer has set the maximum speed no more than 30 km / h;
"Long vehicle" - in the form of a yellow rectangle with a size of at least 1200 x 200 mm with a red border (width 40 mm), having a reflective surface, - behind vehicles, the length of which with or without cargo is more than 20 m, and road trains with two or more trailers ... If it is impossible to place a sign of the indicated size, it is allowed to install two identical signs with a size of at least 600 x 200 mm symmetrically to the axis of the vehicle.
"Novice driver" - in the form of a yellow square (150 mm side) with an image of a black exclamation mark 110 mm high - behind power-driven vehicles (except for tractors, self-propelled vehicles, motorcycles and mopeds) driven by drivers who have the right to drive these vehicles less than 2 years.
So that's it. Previously, these identification marks had to be installed, but if the driver did not use such a sign, then they could not punish him. Now they can.
Therefore, the changes that came into force on 04/04/2017 concern not only novice drivers, but many other motorists.
And here we come to the next important point ...
Secondly, if the absence of identification marks is named in the List of faults, then for such a violation a fine is imposed under Part 1 of Art. 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. Let me remind you that this List of faults is an appendix to the Basic Provisions for the Admission of Vehicles to Operation and the Responsibilities of Road Safety Officials.
Everything is simple here. Part 1 of Article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation provides for punishment only for violations named in the List of faults. And although previously the presence of these identification marks was mandatory, they could not be punished for their absence, since this violation was not mentioned in the List. Now the violation was included in the List, and it automatically began to fall under Part 1 of Art. 12.5 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation.
The absence of the identification marks, which are listed above, entails punishment under Part 1 of Article 12.5 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation - a warning, or a fine of 500 rubles.
Another small change.
From 04.04.2017, in paragraph 15 of clause 8 of the Basic Provisions, the words "and motorcycles" are replaced by the words "motorcycles and mopeds".
"Novice driver" - in the form of a yellow square (150 mm side) with a black exclamation mark 110 mm high - behind a motor vehicle (except for tractors, self-propelled vehicles, motorcycles and mopeds) driven by drivers who have the right to drive the specified vehicles for less than 2 years.
This is done so that you do not have to install the "Novice driver" sign on mopeds. Previously, the moped was not classified as a motor vehicle, therefore it was not indicated in the exceptions. And then, everything changed, and an absurd situation turned out when there was no need to install a sign on motorcycles, but on mopeds it was required (since mopeds were not in the list of exceptions). Now, with the introduction of punishment for the absence of the "Novice driver" sign, it is logical that the Government of the Russian Federation took care to save moped drivers from the absurd requirement to install the "Novice driver" sign on their vehicle and from the punishment itself.
We have reviewed the changes concerning novice drivers. And not only. Now you know. True?
The responsibility of each driver always rests on the safety of passengers and this applies not only to vehicles, but also to motorcycles, which are participants in traffic on the roads of Russia simultaneously with other vehicles.

If there is a child on the seat of a two-wheeled vehicle, then his safety should be ensured to the greatest extent. For this, special rules are provided at the legislative level.
If you do not follow them, then you can fall under significant penalties that will be imposed by road patrol services, fixing the violations themselves.
What the traffic rules say
On the basis of traffic rules (Traffic Rules), the transportation of children on a two-wheeled vehicle - a motorcycle, must necessarily be carried out according to certain rules.
These requirements differ from the requirements for transporting children in a car even because the transport itself does not meet all the requirements for child safety.
So, a motorcycle among the terms and concepts according to the Rules () denotes a two-wheeled vehicle with an engine displacement of no more than 50 cm3, and the design speed is measured in parameters exceeding the speed of 50 km / h.
In terms of stability, a two-wheeled vehicle is considered the least safe than tricycles (3-wheeled structures) or quadricycles (4-wheeled structures).
The motorcycle has the appearance of a two-wheeled vehicle with a two-seater seat, on which there are no additional measures for the safety of passenger transportation. Including young passengers.
When children are transported on a moped or motorcycle in the back seat, it is required to additionally equip these seats in order to securely secure and protect the child.
In addition, according to the rules, there are requirements for placing children in front of the driver or behind him in accordance with the age of a particular child.
In general, the Rules note the following requirements for the carriage of small passengers:
- Everyone must wear protective helmets - driver, child and other passengers, if any.
- It is permissible to carry two passengers, including a child, when the length of the seats is provided for this.
- Helmets are worn before boarding motor vehicles, not after or while driving.
- Passengers can be carried in the back seat of a motorcycle only if there are special footrests and handles on the sides in order to hold on with your hands.
- Children under the age of 12 cannot ride in the rear and should always be placed next to the driver in the front seat ().
- And babies should be transported only in the hands of a passenger who is behind the driver, and even then only in rare cases.
- During transportation, the child must not create any obstacles to movement. Therefore, for very small children, special transport slings, kangaroos, are used, which can be attached in front of the driver so that the child is firmly fixed.
- Passengers must not be dismounted from the motorcycle if the car has not completely stopped.
- Disembarkation and embarkation of passengers should be carried out exclusively from the side of the roadside, sidewalk or any other site.
- The standard for tread depth on motorcycle slopes should be 0.8 mm.
- When transporting children, the driver should not develop more than 40-50 km / h speed of a motor vehicle.
- Non-stop transportation of children over long distances that takes an entire day in time is not allowed.
- No abrupt maneuvers should be made by a motorcyclist if a child is traveling with him.
All such requirements are followed at any time of the day, any season, as well as in any locality - be it a rural settlement or an urban settlement. Protective clothing and helmets keep injuries to a minimum.
If, suddenly, in the course of the motorcycle's movement, some malfunctions were discovered, then you need to immediately stop the car, drop off the passengers, who, in turn, must leave the roadway to the side of the road.
How to properly transport children on a motorcycle without a sidecar
If the immediate carriage of children in the back seat of a motorcycle is required, remember that the child must be at least 12 years old. Otherwise, the traffic police will fine the driver transporting a small child from behind.
For a child over 12 years of age, their own transportation rules must be followed. It is best to sit in front of the child with additional safety equipment.
For example, a booster or a triangle, which can be fastened so that it would cover the driver's torso.
Up to 12 years old
Legislation strictly prohibits the transport of children under 12 years of age on a motorcycle. According to the law, such children can be transported on a two-wheeled motor vehicle only in front.
The age of twelve is determined by lawmakers, based on the frequency of accidents according to statistical data, as well as on the height of the passenger.
The fact is that, according to the requirements, passengers with a height of less than 150 cm must be additionally fenced in order to ensure their safety during transportation.
Exactly the same norm has been adjusted for the transportation of small passengers by road.
From 12 years old
At the onset of the age of 12, all child passengers must wear a helmet and a protective jacket with special armrests. However, adults should also have such equipment.
The child's helmet should not be loose or too tight around the child's ears or chin.
Therefore, such a protective device must necessarily be selected in size and have additional softening cushions inside, durable safety glass and strong unfastened straps.
Manufacturers produce the following sizes of such helmets:
The brands that manufacture these children's helmets are those that use the following words in the name of the markings - Junior, Youth or Kids.
Just when choosing a suitable helmet for your child, pay attention to the presence of one of these words in the inscription on the product. A large assortment of children's helmets sizes can be noted among motto motto equipment.
When boarding and riding in the back seat, the child must hold onto special handles with his hands, while his feet must be on special supports.
If a motorcycle with a sidecar
Additional child protection measures must be provided regardless of their age and the type of motorcycle transport.
With or without a stroller, all the same, additional safety belts for children must be fastened, and not dangling unnecessarily.
Of course, if a motorcycle with a sidecar, then a child less than 12 years old can be securely fastened in a special car seat in the sidecar itself.
Children over 12 years old must wear helmets and additionally wear special belts and an awning.
The prohibition of such a type of transportation as the transportation of children on a motorcycle without a sidecar under 12 years old is necessary. After all, small children will not be able to resist the movement of this type of transport.
In general, according to the rules, it is encouraged that a child in a stroller must ride in the arms of an adult. The dimensions of the cradle allow an adult with a child to fit so much that he will not interfere.
But a child cannot go without an adult at all or without a car seat placed in a stroller. It is very difficult to fix or secure one child in a spacious stroller without additional funds.
Penalties for breaking the rules
For each violation of the norms of the law, responsibility always follows, the measure of which is provided for by administrative-legal legislation.
Regarding violations of movement on a motorcycle, as well as the transportation of passengers, there are the following types of punishments:
- On the basis, when the motorcycle is used in violation of mechanical or environmental standards, a fine is imposed up to 300 rubles... But the most recent punishment is the arrest of the motor vehicle and the removal of its registration numbers.
- Carriage of passengers without helmets, as well as driving the driver himself without a helmet, is fined 1000 rubles ().
- For transporting a child without a driver's license, a sanction is due - 2500 RUB or a ban on the right to drive a motorcycle ().
- If the driver has been driving a motorcycle while he is not authorized to do so, he may be fined for RUB 5,000, arrest the driver for 15 days and send a motorcycle to the parking lot ().
- When transporting children without safety systems and mechanisms, there is a fine - RUB 500-700 (), without seat belts - RUB 1000
Small children are not transported in front without additional safety devices. This will be considered a violation.
Although not as often and not in such quantities as in the warm countries of Asia, you can still find two-wheeled vehicles on our roads. Some even feel some special spirit of freedom and "catch" new sensations from motorcycles and mopeds. But all this remains at the level of each his own. However, what can be said with complete evidence is that almost all motorcycles and mopeds are means of transporting two at once, that is, a driver and one passenger. This means that we can say that the driver of a moped or motorcycle can carry passengers, if only it is required and according to traffic rules. This is where one of the government decrees comes to mind, namely No. 333 of 03.24.2017. It turns out that from the entry into force of this decree, the rules of transportation have changed in relation to drivers and passengers. Since 2017, it is prohibited to transport passengers on motorcycles and mopeds if the driver has less than 2 years of experience. This is how traffic rules are now formulated
Traffic rules regarding the carriage of a passenger on a motorcycle or moped
Once again, we repeat that the paragraph was introduced on the basis of Resolution No. 333 of 2017
22.2 (1) The transportation of people on a motorcycle must be carried out by a driver who has a driver's license for the right to drive vehicles of category "A" or subcategory "A1" for 2 or more years, 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.
From this logical statement it follows that for motorcyclists, a driver can only transport passengers if he has more than 2 years of experience for his respective category of motorcycles. But for mopeds, the driver must have more than 2 years of experience.
Of course, this does not in the least demean the other rules for the carriage of passengers stipulated in Chapter 22 of the RF SDA "Transportation of People". Read them to be sure.
Penalty for transporting passengers on a motorcycle, moped with driving experience for a driver less than 2 years
As for the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, with the advent of a new resolution in 2017, it has not been updated. This means that here one should be guided by the "general" part for violations of the rules for the carriage of passengers, namely, part 1 of Article 12.23 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation.
Violation of the rules for the transportation of people, with the exception of the cases provided for by parts 2 - 6 of this article, - shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of 500 rubles.
It follows from all this that the minimum fine may well be issued for the carriage of a passenger if the motorcycle driver does not have more than 2 years of experience for the relevant category, and if the moped simply does not have more than 2 years of experience.
IMPORTANT!!! It should be noted that the fine under Part 1 does not in the least derogate to write out a fine under the other part of the same article, if the violation is more serious. So if a novice driver transports passengers on his motorcycle (moped), while such passengers will be children under 12 years old, whose transportation is completely prohibited in the back seat of motorcycles and mopeds, then the penalty will be issued according to a stricter part. That is, they will write out a fine under Part 3, Article 12.23 of the Administrative Offenses Code of the Russian Federation, and this is no longer the minimum fine, but 3000 rubles! Children under 12 years of age may only be transported in front of the driver, if the seat of the motorcycle allows it.
Does the ban on transporting passengers to category A with less than 2 years of experience
Actually, this paragraph arose due to the fact that many motorists are ready to understand clause 22.2 (1) in such a way that 2 years of experience refers only to subcategory A1. However, in the explanatory note to the resolution there are the following lines that will dot all I.
Restrictions have been introduced for drivers with a driving experience of up to 2 years. Thus, they cannot tow other power-driven vehicles with the vehicles they drive. They are also prohibited from transporting people on a motorcycle (drivers with category A, A1) or a moped (drivers with any category).
Here it becomes finally clear that the restrictions apply equally to both categories A and A1. That is, to hide behind category A and say that I have it and that I do not need 2 years of experience for transporting passengers will not work!
Is it possible to pay a fine with a discount for transporting passengers on a motorcycle, moped with a driving experience for a driver less than 2 years
Since 2016, amendments to Article 32.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation give us the opportunity to pay some of the fines with a 50 percent discount. Such fines include not particularly serious cases, that is, not booze and not relapses ... It is from this that it is quite logical to conclude that Article 12.23 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, Part 1, will also fall under the possibility of paying at a discount. The main thing here is to pay the fine from the moment it appears in the traffic police database, but no later than 20 days from the date of the decision.

Question-answer on the topic "Penalty for passengers on a motorcycle, moped with driving experience for a driver less than 2 years"
Question: Can they charge a fine for transporting a passenger on a motorcycle or moped?
Answer: Yes, since 2017 I can. Here, the admission criterion is the presence of a license for more than 2 years for the corresponding category (motorcycle - A, A1 or moped - any category more than 2 years)
It may seem to some that a motorcycle is not such a serious technique as a car. In fact, most of the rules and laws regarding the use of other vehicles also apply to him. Therefore, motorcycle owners should know what awaits them for driving without documents, a helmet and other violations.

Motorcycle, rights to it and their absence
Driving a motorcycle requires a Category A license, which can only be obtained by adults. From the age of 16, it will be possible to pass the exam only if you have a bike whose engine has a volume of less than 125 cm3. But in any case, you need a driving license to ride a motorcycle.
A traffic police officer may require it for verification, and if the document is not with him, the driver will be fined 500 rubles. This is a fairly light measure applied under Article 12.3 to forgetful motorcyclists. In this case, everything can be limited by the inspector, it will do without stopping the vehicle, sending it to the impoundment.
Moreover, if you agree with the traffic police officer about the quick delivery by another person of the forgotten house of the VU, you will be able to avoid warning.
It is a different matter when there are no rights to drive a motorcycle at all. Here the punishment is regulated by article 12.7 of the Administrative Code:
- a fine of 5,000 - 15,000 rubles. will receive a driver who has not studied at a driving school and has never had a VU;
- will pay 30,000 rubles. or a person who was deprived of his license but caught driving a motorcycle will be arrested for 15 days.
The vehicle from the offender will be temporarily moved to the impoundment, if there is no relative or acquaintance with the appropriate AT, who can quickly pick it up. You can drive a motorcycle without a license only during training at a driving school, under the guidance of an instructor and on a specially designated road.
Riding without a helmet
An important attribute of a motorcyclist is a helmet. It provides protection, reduces the risk of injury in an accident. Its presence is mandatory in accordance with clause 2.1.2 of the SDA:
The driver of a power-driven vehicle must, when driving a vehicle equipped with seat belts, be fastened and not carry passengers who are not wearing seat belts. When driving a motorcycle, wear a buttoned motorcycle helmet and do not carry passengers without a buttoned motorcycle helmet.
And the lack of protection on the bike driver is regulated by article 12.6 of the Administrative Code:
Driving the vehicle by a driver who is not wearing a seat belt, transporting passengers who are not wearing seat belts, if the vehicle design provides for seat belts, as well as driving a motorcycle or moped or transporting passengers on a motorcycle without motorcycle helmets or in unfastened motorcycle helmets entails the imposition of ... a fine of one thousand rubles ...
The punishment will follow not only for the lack of protection on the driver, but also if it is not on the passenger. An important point - the helmet must not only be worn on the head, but also properly fastened. A dangling harness is a reason to fine a motorcyclist 1000 rubles. The helmet must also fit the head.
Skating without category
For motorcycle owners there are 2 categories of rights - A and A1. The first means that the driver has been trained and has the right to drive a bike with an engine capacity of 125 cm3 or more. Category A is given only to persons who have crossed the 18-year mark. It assumes a wide range of knowledge and skills. Therefore, having category A, you can safely drive a vehicle for which A1 is enough. There will be no sanctions for this, because there are no violations of the traffic rules and the Administrative Code.
Category A1 means the legal ability to drive a motorcycle with an engine capacity of less than 125cc. This is a fairly harmless technique, unable to develop high speed. Such rights are given from the age of 16. But if you sit on a motorcycle with them, for which category A is needed, this will already be a violation of Part 1 of Article 12.7 of the Administrative Code. You will have to pay a fine of 5,000 rubles or more. up to 15,000 r.
And to leave the place of detention on foot, as driving a motorcycle without a license is prohibited. The vehicle will then have to be picked up from a special parking lot.
Driving license categories There are no contradictions in the permission to replace category A1 with a document with the A sign and the impossibility to do the opposite. Learning to ride a powerful motorcycle requires the ability to operate and simpler techniques. And the skill of using a bike with an engine volume of less than 125 cm3 will not do much for driving a high-speed vehicle.
Traveling with a passenger
The rules for the carriage of a passenger on a motorcycle concern not only the presence of both helmets well fixed on the head. There is also a nuance reflected in Resolution No. 333:
Transportation of people on a motorcycle must be carried out by a driver who has a driver's license for the right to drive a vehicle of category "A" or ... "A1" for 2 or more years, transportation of people on a moped must be carried out by a driver who has a driver's license for the right to drive a vehicle of any category or subcategory for 2 or more years.
It is assumed that only a motorcyclist who has at least 2 years of driving experience will be able to ensure the safety of the passenger and not threaten other road users.
If a self-confident driver who has recently obtained a license is stopped while transporting people, he will be fined. Such a violation relates to Article 12.23 of the Code and is punishable by payment of 500 rubles.
There are also important features regarding the carriage of passengers:
- Children under 12 years of age must not be placed in the back seat of a motorcycle. This is regulated by paragraph 22.9 of the SDA.
- It is forbidden to carry extra passengers. This means there should be as many of them as there are seats. The rule is written in clause 22.8 of the SDA.
The driver will also receive punishment for these violations in accordance with article 12.23. You will have to pay 500 rubles, and the amount does not depend on the number of passengers. If there is 1 seat behind the driver, and 3 people have managed to sit there (that is, 2 extra), the amount of the fine will not increase.
Driving without a number
Each vehicle must have a license plate, and motorcycles are no exception. The need is regulated by paragraph 2 of the "Basic provisions of the traffic rules":
On mechanical vehicles (except for mopeds ...), registration plates of the corresponding sample must be installed in the places provided for this.
You can ride a motorcycle without a number and not be punished for it only within 10 days after buying it. This is the period given to the owner for registration and receipt of the mark.
The sanctions for the lack of identification marks are spelled out in section 1 of article 12.1. The driver of a motorcycle without numbers will have to pay a fine of 500 - 800 rubles if the offender is caught for it for the first time, and the motorcycle was purchased recently. The next time the vehicle is detained for the same reason, the fine will already be up to 5,000 rubles, or the driver will have to say goodbye to the license for 1 - 3 months. A similar punishment awaits those whose mark just fell off.
It is important that the number on the motorcycle is positioned and readable. Otherwise, the driver will be punished for it under Part 1 of Article 12.2. He will receive a warning from a traffic police officer, and in the worst case, a fine of 500 rubles.

Travel without insurance
An auto insurance policy is one of the mandatory documents that a driver must have with him. This is also true of motorcyclists. Cases when the driver of the vehicle cannot present insurance to the traffic police officer arise for various reasons:
Do not deceive the inspector by saying that there is insurance when it is not. He can easily verify this.
- The motorcycle is not insured. The situation is spelled out in part 2 of article 12.37. And in accordance with it, the fine will already be 800 rubles. This amount of payment will be in favor of the state even if a motorcyclist is detained again without insurance. But you can fine for this at least several times a day if the driver will be stopped at different traffic police posts.
- The insurance has expired. The policy is issued for a maximum of a year. If the driver left on a motorcycle the next day after the end of this period, he no longer has insurance. The violation is also regulated by Article 12.37, and the amount of the penalty payment will be the same as in the previous case.
- There is a policy, but it does not cover the period in which the motorcyclist was stopped. For the owners of this type of transport, the case is not uncommon, since it is more profitable to insure it for a year with the ability to travel only in certain months. But if the policy is valid in the summer, and the motorcyclist was stopped in the fall, his actions fall under Article 12.37, Section 1. The driver will be required to pay a fine of 500 rubles.
In all cases of problems with insurance, the license plate is not removed from the vehicle and is not sent to a special parking lot. The driver can continue driving. But he needs to be prepared for the fact that at the next traffic police post, an employee will also want to check the presence of a document.
What threatens a minor motorcycle driver
A motorcycle driver under the age of 18 can legally drive a motorcycle in two cases:
- If the volume of the engine of his transport is less than 125 cm3. The driver himself must be 16 years old.
- If he is studying for category A driving license and drives under the auspices of an instructor at the autodrome. But the motorcyclist will receive a driving document only upon reaching the age of majority.
When a traffic police officer stops a teenager driving a bike with an engine capacity above 125 cm3, this is a violation of Article 12.7 of the Administrative Code:
- If a minor unauthorizedly drives a motorcycle, he or his parents will have to pay a fine of 5,000 rubles. up to 15,000 r. There is no question of the teenager driving further after drawing up the protocol. The motorcycle will be taken away and sent to the impound.
- If an adult owner of the vehicle entrusted the steering wheel to a minor, he will also pay a fine, but in 30,000 rubles. Demand for payment from the driver 5000 - 15000 rubles. while being preserved. And from the owner of the motorcycle they will also take a fine of 800 rubles. for violation of insurance conditions. Indeed, the name of a minor to whom he entrusted the management cannot be entered into the policy.
Riding an unregistered motorcycle
Like any vehicle, a motorcycle must be registered within 10 days of purchase. Only under this condition will he receive a number, and its owner will be able to use the equipment. If there is no registration plate because the motorcycle has not been registered, the punishment for the driver is selected in accordance with Article 12.1. He pays a fine of 5,000 rubles. or loses his certificate for 1 - 3 months.
The sanctions for riding a motorcycle in violation of traffic rules and the Code of Administrative Offenses are no less severe than when using a car. Therefore, do not ignore the laws governing its ownership and management. Compliance with them will not only save you from problems with the traffic police, but also make the road safer.
