Good afternoon, dear reader.
Almost every car owner over time carries out some modifications and improvements to his " iron horse".
For some, the changes are very minor, for example, replacing the nipple caps with colored ones. Other car enthusiasts approach the improvements more thoroughly and make changes to the engine, suspension, car body. All of the above changes relate to tuning (fine-tuning) vehicle.
This article will discuss what fines await the owner of a car for illegal tuning.
Varieties of car tuning
First of all, let us highlight the common types of tuning, which are widespread in Russia:
- or in the headlights.
All these changes are massive, so each of them is discussed in a separate article. We will not dwell on them in detail today.
As for other types of tuning, they can be divided into the following groups:
- Improving the appearance of the car. This group includes, for example, the installation of non-standard bumpers and spoilers on cars.
- Improving the technical characteristics of the machine. In this case, we are talking about making changes to the car's engine, suspension or other structural elements.
- Improving the cross-country ability of the vehicle. Preparing the car for off-road driving includes installation additional equipment, for example, a winch or snorkel, as well as refinement of the design of the car itself.
In general, design changes affect a fairly large group of car owners.
Penalty for tuning a car in 2019
Fines for changing the design of a vehicle are provided for:
1. Driving in the presence of malfunctions or conditions under which, in accordance with the Basic Provisions for the Admission of Vehicles to Operation and Obligations officials for security road traffic the operation of a vehicle is prohibited, with the exception of malfunctions and conditions specified in parts 2 - 7 of this article, -
entails warning or imposition administrative fine at the rate of five hundred rubles.
So, the driver will receive a fine in the amount of 500 rubles for most of the design changes.
There are a few exceptions that are subject to more severe penalties:
- Installation of headlights with red lights on the front of the car - deprivation of rights from 4 to 6 months (part 3 of Article 12.5);
- Installation of special light (flashers) or sound signals- deprivation of rights from 12 to 18 months (part 4 of Article 12.5);
- Installation of the sign "Disabled" - a fine of 5,000 rubles (part 4 1 of article 12.5);
- Installation of color schemes for operational services - deprivation of rights from 12 to 18 months (part 6 of article 12.5);
- Installation of a color-graphic scheme for a passenger taxi - a fine of 5,000 rubles.
All of the above design changes are illegal and do not raise questions for drivers. Within the framework of this article, we are interested in those changes that do not fall into the specified list. It is required to understand in which case a fine in the amount of 500 rubles can be imposed, and in which not.
And for this you need to figure out what types of tuning are related to design changes.
Note. In the event of a change in the design of the vehicle, the traffic police may cancel the registration of the vehicle:
What applies to vehicle design changes?
Part 1 of Article 12.5 of the Administrative Code refers to. The full text of this document is not required, you just need to study its appendix:
In this document, the final paragraph 7.18 refers to tuning:
7.18. Changes have been made to the vehicle design without the permission of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Russian Federation or other bodies determined by the Government of the Russian Federation.
After reading of this paragraph the question arises what exactly refers to changes in the design of the vehicle, for which you can get a fine of 500 rubles.
The concept of "changes in the design of a vehicle" is given in the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union "":
making changes to the design of a vehicle - the exclusion of components and items of equipment that are not provided for by the design of a particular vehicle or installation, carried out after the release of the vehicle into circulation and affecting road safety;
This definition does not give an unambiguous answer to the question of what exactly refers to component parts and equipment affecting safety:
"vehicle safety" - a condition characterized by a combination of design parameters and technical condition of a vehicle, ensuring the inadmissibility or minimization of the risk of harm to the life or health of citizens, property of individuals and legal entities, state or municipal property, the environment;
However, the technical regulation contains Appendix No. 9, which, among other things, contains a list of individual (not all) design changes:
- Replacement of the truck body type.
- Installation of additional fuel tanks.
- Installation of hoists and winches on trucks.
- Installation of special equipment.
- Installation and dismantling of LPG.
- Replacement of external lighting devices (including the installation of xenon or diode lamps).
- Re-equipment of the car for people with disabilities.
All of the above items are guaranteed to relate to modifications to the vehicle. If you do them without permission, you can get a fine of 500 rubles.
With regard to the installation of other equipment, it remains unclear in what cases it should be attributed to changes in the design of the vehicle.
For example, the installation of non-standard bumpers made of a different material (metal instead of plastic). Obviously, this tuning option affects the safety of the car in the event.
Another example. Installing the DVR on windshield car. On the one hand, the installation is elementary and should not affect safety. On the other hand, in the event that the airbags are deployed, they can "pull" the power cable of the recorder, tear it off the glass and send it "fly" around the cabin.
Any change in the number of seats makes sense to formalize as a change in design, since otherwise, you may receive both a fine and cancellation of registration.
On the other hand, the number of seats is not indicated in the registration certificate, i.e. a violation can only be detected by an employee who decides to check the documents in the database.
However, if the number of seats corresponds to category D, then the traffic police officer will probably want to check the car in the database and identify the violation.
Clause 22.8 of the SDA:
in excess of the amount stipulated technical characteristics vehicle.
The punishment for this violation is provided for in Article 12.23 of the Administrative Code:
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.
Good luck on the road!
Good day! I decided to install on the mirrors covers with repeaters (orange) and dimensions (blue and white), they will work together with the standard ones. Are there any problems with the technical inspection or with the traffic police? Thanks.
There is a xenon in the fog lights made a report on 12.5 part 3. The court issued a deprivation. Does xenon fit under this article?
Good afternoon. Is the installation automatic device on the door of the minibus (fiat) by changing the design of the vehicle, for which a fine is supposed? A very painful topic)) Please tell me. Thanks.
Hello.
If the device was not provided in the car initially (in the manufacturer's documentation), then its installation is a design change that should be registered with the traffic police.
Good luck on the road!
Hello! On the website from the manufacturer additional body kit for sale: protection of sills and bumpers, made of stainless steel. All products have certificates of conformity and tests for a large number of car brands. Can I use these certificates and not get a fine if my car is on the compliance list?
Hello.
This issue is considered on the example of a towbar in.
In the described case, the certificates confirm that the components are intended for the vehicles listed in the document and meet the requirements technical regulations... That is, if you have a certificate, an additional appeal to the traffic police is not required.
Good luck on the road!

Hello, I changed the lining for gas 3302 farmer 1997 onwards chanterelle headlights and in the cabin the panel for a new one should be pumped. Thank you in advance.
Hello! I am thinking of installing fenders on the fenders of the VAZ 2107. Will this improvement raise a question for the traffic police? And will it be possible to sell a car in the future without problems with re-registration?
Dmitry-441
Is plastic not related to changing the vehicle? And if I take off the front and rear bumper on a vaz 2106 and install a plastic body kit around the car, won't the guys write me a fine and a decree? The regulations of the customs union say that plastic is not an amendment to the vehicle
Dmitriy, indicate in which paragraph of the regulations you found information about plastic.
Hello, will my car be reissued with a non-standard front bumper and body kits?
Ivan, Hello.
If non-standard equipment is included in the registration documents, then the car will be reissued without problems.
Good luck on the road!
Alexander-736
Hello everyone! I have cargo transporter I smashed the windows and put the seats, what kind of fine do we expect from Gaitsov?
Alexander, Hello.
The fine for design changes that are not reflected in the documents for the car is 500 rubles.
Good luck on the road!
Evgeniy-275
The traffic police officers issued a decree that there is a non-standard exhaust system (they cannot explain how they distinguished the standard from the non-standard exhaust system)
By the most exhaust pipe there are seams (as they say, not factory seams)
The sound of the exhaust system passes through the diebels, the catalyst, resonator and the muffler itself are present, the car is almost 20 years old.
How to legitimize exhaust system?
Does it require legalization?
Currently, the route is made of a pipe of the same diameter and all el.
If the equipment is really non-standard, then the procedure for its legalization is described above (in the text). It is possible that it will be cheaper to buy and install a standard exhaust system.
Good luck on the road!

The traffic police inspector began to draw up a protocol for a stop under sign 3.27 with a sign not regulated by traffic rules "Except for official transport" While I was writing an explanation on this matter, he drew up two protocols and two resolutions. The second material was compiled for the existing footpegs on a 2007 Mercedes Viano that I installed in the spring of 2016. As a result of contacting the traffic police, the decision on violation of the requirements of sign 3.27 and the fine of 1,500 rubles were canceled, the signs were dismantled, but the fine on the thresholds was left in force. The first court session I applied to was lost. the judge referred to Appendix 1, clause 97 of the 2016 customs regulations, referring the footrests to decorative body parts. The court of appeal will be held on January 28.
Self-installation of towbars on cars in the Russian Federation is quite common. Many car owners install this non-basic part for towing light trailers and trailers. However, from the point of view of the law, these constructive changes in the vehicle are interpreted ambiguously. Therefore, in many cases, drivers run the risk of getting a fine for a towbar if its installation is not coordinated with the traffic police.
As practice shows, not all motorists know what a towbar is on a car. Often, some of them purchase a used car, and then are genuinely surprised if the inspector imposes a fine for the presence of this additional part.
A towbar is a structural part used to attach trailed elements to the body. The towbar consists of a transverse beam attached to the car body from the rear, and a ball joint on this beam, designed to attach a trailer or trailer to the car.
It is impossible to attach additional towed equipment to the car body without a tow bar. Therefore, many drivers traveling long distances outside the city mount towbars to their cars on their own.
Types of towbars
Depending on the type of attachment to the body and design features towbars are divided into two types:
- Removable- mounted on imported off-road vehicles. The advantage of such designs is that they can be screwed on or unscrewed as needed. Removable towbars do not spoil appearance car, and when traveling around the city, they can be removed as unnecessary.
- Fixed- a more acceptable option in terms of reliability and functionality. These towbars are welded to the body. Dismantling them without violating the aesthetics of the body is impossible.
- Flanged- is a small platform for attaching to the bottom of the car. Such a towbar can be easily removed and installed as needed.
Do I need to register a towbar for a passenger car at the traffic police
90 percent modern models cars provide for the possibility of installing a towbar. To install this part on these car models, there is no need to register them with the traffic police.
By law, you do not need to register a towbar if:
- It is indicated in the instruction manual.
- It was installed according to the instructions, without changing the design of the car and has a certificate of conformity and a passport.
In other words, you do not need to register the towbar if it is installed official dealer or service station specialists.
But during installation, the wizard must provide the motorist with a package of documents that is presented to the traffic police inspectors:
- Towbar passport with a mark on its installation.
- Copy of the certificate.
- Checks or waybills issued upon purchase.
A towbar that does not have a certificate and a passport, installed independently, must be registered. You must first obtain a certificate of conformity for it at an authorized auto center. The service station will carry out diagnostics and check the technical condition of the vehicle with a tow bar. If the device is found to be safe, specialists will issue a certificate.
Registration with the traffic police consists of the following stages:
- Passing a special examination before and after installation.
- Issuance of a security act.
- Obtaining a Certificate and an examination protocol.
If the installation of a towbar on a car is not provided for by the operating manual, after receiving a certificate at the service station, you will need to contact the traffic police. The presence of a towbar, after inspecting the car and checking the documents, will be entered as an item in the TCP and the technical standard. From this moment on, the towbar will be considered registered, and the traffic police will have no claims against the owner of the car on which it is installed.
Grounds for punishment for a towbar
Not all drivers have an idea if there is a penalty for a towbar. Many people install this part on the vehicle without thinking at all about the rules for its installation. At the same time, having received a fine, many are sincerely surprised, not even suspecting that the towbar can be recognized as an unauthorized modification of the car's design.
Unregistered and not certified towbar is considered unsafe. The law also prohibits the establishment of not provided by design auto parts that stand for rear dimensions body. The reason for the ban is the possible deterioration of the consequences of a collision of two vehicles .
A protruding towbar will cause more damage to another vehicle in the event of a collision.
Some drivers who install a towbar mistakenly believe that it can serve additional protection from another vehicle entering their car from behind. But this opinion is wrong. When hitting the towbar from behind, the body will receive even more damage than in its absence. That is why inspectors are required to remove this part in cases where it is not used for its intended purpose.
The amount of the penalty for the towbar
The rules for imposing a fine for unauthorized installation of a towbar are contained in article 12.5 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. The document lists all cases when the car cannot be used for movement. These include violation of the vehicle design, which negatively affected traffic safety. A towbar that does not have a certificate, fixed with movable joints, belongs to similar structures.
In 2018, the following types of punishments were established:
- the fine for unauthorized installation of the towbar is 500 rubles;
- a fine for a hitch without a trailer is also imposed in the amount of 500 rubles.
Important. If the inspector qualifies the installation of the towbar as amending the design of the vehicle without agreement with the traffic police, the fine will increase to 5,000 rubles.
How to avoid a fine
In the list of penalties for installing a towbar or using it without a trailer, there is one rather mild and almost symbolic one - a warning. The driver should try to convince the inspector who stopped him that the violation will be eliminated in as soon as possible... It is the defiant behavior of the car owner that often leads to the traffic police officer issuing a fine. Of course, those motorists who have not come to the attention of inspectors in the last six months are more likely to avoid punishment.
The ideal solution to the problem is a removable hitch. If this detail it is used only with a trailer or trailer, and is removed from the body as unnecessary, there will be no complaints from the traffic police.
There will be no punishment for the hitch even if it was installed during the production of the car or in an authorized service center. True, in this case, the car owner will need to prove that the part is installed at the factory. But in any case, such a towbar will not be recognized as a change in the design of the vehicle, therefore, the inspector will not be able to issue a fine of 5 thousand rubles.
Features of selling a car with a towbar
Before installing the towbar on own car, its owner needs to foresee the situation when the car will need to be sold. If the inspector may not notice the "extra parts" during the operation of the car, then during the re-registration during the sale it will not be possible to hide the hitch from the expert.
Therefore, if the hitch is not provided by the vehicle manufacturer, you must go through the procedure for registering it with the traffic police. Of course, it will be possible to do this if the towbar is certified and installed by professional craftsmen.
Important. You will not be able to register a homemade handicraft product. Therefore, such a towbar will need to be dismantled before selling the car. Otherwise, re-registration of the vehicle to another owner will be impossible.
Before installing the towbar on his own car, the owner should look in the Owner's Manual and make sure that this part is provided by the manufacturer. If the design of the car does not allow the installation of a tow bar, you can install an exclusively removable model and use it complete with a trailer or trailer. For driving with an uncertified or incorrect installed towbar you can "earn" a fine of 500 or 5000 rubles.
Question: My neighbor in the garage scared me that now the traffic police will fine for the towbar, and that now it needs to be registered. Is it true?
Hello dear motorists! Yes, there has indeed been a fuss about this issue lately. Let's see if the registration of the towbar in the traffic police is really necessary?
For the first time we were asked this question after June 1, 2016. To be honest, at that time we ourselves did not know the answer and therefore turned to the district traffic police department for clarification.
Question to the inspector
To our question, the deputy. the head of the department replied that indeed many people are interested in this law. According to the new rules, changes in the design of the car must be registered. But there is a certain list of changes in the design that does not require approval from the traffic police. And that's exactly the TSU that is on this list. But again, there is one "but".
The design of a passenger car should assume the installation of this device in the future. In other words, the car manufacturer has constructively calculated that a towbar can be installed on this car. According to statistics, almost 99% of cars can be fitted with a towbar.
Optionally, you can document the changes to the traffic police. After that, a record is made in special marks in the technical standard and TCP.
What you need to have
You can do without the traffic police. There is a list technical changes included in the design, which do not require approval from the traffic police. In order not to issue a fine or, God forbid, to stop registering a vehicle, you should add to the usual set of documents:
- compliance (copy) and passport for the towbar, which comes complete with the towbar. The passport must have the seal of the auto center performing
- Documents provided by a car center certified to perform this type of activity. You will be given a copy of the auto center certificate, certified by a "live" seal, and an act of completed work.
That is, in fact, the towbar must be manufactured and tested at the factory for a specific car model. He must obtain a certificate of conformity, a copy of which is provided upon sale. And also the towbar must be installed according to all regulations by a legal entity that has the appropriate permission to carry out these works.
Watch below a very informative video on modifying the design. It talks about various additional equipment, bumpers, gas-cylinder equipment, which must be necessarily made in changes. They asked a question about the hitch at 16 minutes.
How to be those who already have a towbar
You need to find such a certified auto center that will agree to diagnose your car, or rather a TSU. Looks technical condition, the possibility of further exploitation. Next, the manufacturer is determined and a request is sent. If the answer is positive, a passport for the towbar is issued, if it was not there, a certificate of conformity, an act of work performed and a certified copy of the auto center certificate.
How much is opium for the people
How much does certification cost? Naturally, this procedure takes some time for inquiries and paperwork. An auto center that produces diagnostics incurs certain labor costs. The cost of this service in our installation center is 1500 rubles. When installing your new towbar, the cost is 1000 rubles. And when installing our towbar a package of documents is issued free of charge.
Can you bet on everything? How to find out?
The majority of cars are allowed to be installed by the manufacturer. But there are models for which the plant did not recommend, in order to use them as a tractor for a trailer. You can find out for yourself whether it is possible to install a coupling device on your iron horse by looking at the plate with the VIN code on your car. They are usually located on the middle right door pillar or under the hood. Consider the example of the Renault Sandero plate. 
Pay attention to the numbers with kilograms at the end. In this case, there are 4 of them.
- 4. Indicates the gross vehicle weight. That is, the mass of the equipped vehicle plus the permissible weight of cargo or passengers;
- 5. Indicates permissible weight together with a trailer. I think there is no need to explain;
- 6. and 7. These are the weights of the maximum front and rear axle loads.
It follows from this that if your plate contains a designation of the mass with a trailer, then a towbar is provided for the car. And if there is no number, then the hitch is not provided.
What if the installation is not provided by the factory?
Question, so question ... And in this case there is a way out. If we are not talking about changing the car, then it can be legalized with the help of an examination. Now in order.
- First, you still have to do everything that you read about above. Either install or obtain documents from a legalized installation center.
- You need to undergo an examination in the traffic police. There you will need the documents issued by the auto center and documents for the car.
- In the TCP and the technical standard, they will make notes about the changes in the design.
* The traffic police itself does not carry out any examination, but issues forms of documents and sends them to the address.
What is the punishment?
In some regions, they have already started to seriously fine car owners for illegal tow hitch. The fine is under article 12.5 of the Administrative Code of Part 1 in the amount of 500 rubles. If you are being punished for the first time for TSU (maybe something that you did not know), then this same article provides for a warning. Be polite to the inspector and tell him that you will fix everything. In this case, you may have to avoid punishment. But do not delay legalization if you really need a towbar. If you don't need it, then just take it off and don't look for adventures in one place)))
What about 2019?
27.09.2016
After a long-awaited purchase, many car owners ask themselves questions: how to register a trailer for a car, and is there a need for it? According to the laws of the Russian Federation, each trailer must be registered with the traffic police, because it is a full-fledged vehicle. This procedure similar to registration ordinary car, it does not provide anything extraordinary. It should be remembered that in order to avoid a fine, the trailer must be registered within 10 days. This procedure is also necessary if your trailer goes through customs clearance, receives transit numbers, and is removed from the register.
Collection of documents for registration of a light trailer
First thing before registering light trailer, you need to collect the necessary papers:
Passport or other proof of identity.
Vehicle passport.
Purchase agreement or receipt of payment and technical passport.
Application (indicate the name of the traffic police department, full name, information about the vehicle).
Receipts confirming payment of state fees (2350 rubles).
Insurance policy.
Notarized power of attorney, in case other persons are engaged in registration.
Submission of documents to the traffic police department
At the next stage, you need to go to the traffic police department with all the above documents. This department can be anything: the place of your residence or stay has no role. The only thing that is necessary is to pay the fee and register in only one branch, otherwise you will have to pay a second time.
In the department, the inspector will inspect the vehicle, according to the results of which you will be given numbers and a document that confirms the registration of the trailer. The entire inspection will take about an hour. If the trailer is new, then the inspection usually only checks VIN number and chassis number.
If you want to save time, it is possible to register on the website of the state. services. After registration and authorization, fill out the request - the form is very simple and convenient, the system will tell you how to do everything right. Your documents for sending through the site must be scanned. The site will allow you to change the data, if necessary.
After passing these procedures, you will be issued a document - a certificate of vehicle registration. If you are an individual and your trailer weighs less than 3,500 kilograms, the registration procedure will be successful! If you are an organization, then you will need to make a technical inspection and insurance of the MTPL. Also, when submitting documents, if you are a legal entity, you must specify the details of the organization that owns the trailer and constituent documents.
Trailer insurance
Trailers, trailers weighing over 3.5 tons, or vehicles belonging to legal entities... For everyone else, including individuals, the insurance is completely voluntary. But to obtain MTPL you need to undergo a technical inspection. The price of the policy depends on your region and the time of using the vehicle.
Trailer inspection
Above were listed the conditions under which the passage of a technical inspection for registration of a trailer is mandatory. Next, you will need to go through repeated technical inspections with a certain frequency depending on the age of the trailer. New ones will not require regular maintenance for 3 years. The period of operation is from 3 to 7 years, it is necessary to inspect 1 time in 2 years, over 7 - annually. In the case of transportation dangerous goods- 2 times per year.
What to do when registering homemade trailers?
Sometimes you can run into cases self-made trailer for a car. This happens infrequently, but nevertheless, this option also needs to be disassembled. Because homemade trailers do not have their own documents, without special permission they cannot be approved for use.
To do this, it is necessary to provide a special document to the traffic police - "certificate of safety of the vehicle structure." To get it, you need to contact an accredited laboratory. In the laboratory, the trailer will be subjected to special tests confirming its safety and compliance with the standards. Based on their results, you will receive a certificate and a protocol, which describes the test and the conclusion of the laboratory. With the certificate in hand, you can go to the registration of the trailer in the order established for everyone.
Removing the trailer from the register
There is no need to deregister the trailer. When selling a trailer to another person, it is enough to draw up a purchase and sale agreement in 2 copies. New owner the trailer will go through the registration procedure according to the scheme described above.
Output
Every year more and more motorists decide on for their car, because in the case of frequent transportation of goods, it becomes both practical and profitable. The registration process is one of the first steps to start using the trailer. Turning to the experts, the question of how to register a trailer for a car will disappear by itself.
Many motorists who install a towbar on their cars are increasingly wondering whether it is necessary to register the device with the traffic police, and what happens if you drive with an unregistered device.
It happens that the traffic police officers may refuse to issue vehicles on which the towbar is installed. At the same time, the refusal was motivated by the fact that changes were made to the design of the vehicle. To find out if you need to register this device, you need to understand the topic in more detail.
A towbar is a fairly common towing device that is often used as an auxiliary equipment for towing. Most often it comes in handy for trailers, as well as transporting trailers and bicycles.
With the help of this device, the fastening of the trailer will be reliable, since it evenly distributes the load created by inertia and weight, and allows trailers to be transported relatively safely.
In addition, properly installed, it will not spoil the look of the car and will not interfere with viewing the numbers.
All towing devices can be divided into several groups, which depend on the attachment:
- Removable - they are attached using special locks;
- Conditionally removable devices that are bolted;
- Welded fixtures;
- End fixtures.
According to safety regulations, any tow hitch must be removable. In this case, removable (flanged) varieties are attached to specially designated areas behind the car and are bolted. This design is reliable and suitable even for heavy loads, but in order to install it, you need a special frame.
Do I need to register a towbar?
Any changes that are made to the structural part of the vehicle are subject to registration. In the case of a towbar, devices that are not regulated by the manufacturer are subject to registration, and in order to go through the registration procedure, it is necessary to go through an examination process.
It should be clarified that most manufacturers still allow the installation and use of a towbar, in which case the device does not need registration. However, there are some exceptions when the manufacturer does not allow the use of tow hitch on some models. In addition, you need to understand that in cases where the device is non-standard in its size or shape, or is located incorrectly, closing the license plate, there is a high probability that traffic police can focus their attention on it.
The same applies to devices that are fastened in a place not intended for this by the manufacturer, as well as such devices that are welded or permanently fixed in other ways, implying a design change.
Another option to bypass registration is to look into the OTTS, which lists the characteristics of the car. It is there that you can find the possibility of towing a trailer indicated by the manufacturer, which, in particular, involves the installation of a device. In this case, if the possibility of a tug is specified in the document, and the device itself was installed without making any changes to the design, this means that mandatory registration of such a device is not required.
So, it is not necessary to register a device in the following situations:
- When the installation of the trailer hitch is provided by the manufacturer;
- When the device has a certificate of conformity and a passport;
- When the tow hitch is installed according to the instructions and does not violate the design of the car.
When buying a towbar, you need to get a passport of the device, a copy of the certificate of conformity certified by the seller, as well as a check.
Registration of constructive changes in the traffic police
Registration of changes made to the car's construct is quite a simple matter.
Registration of the towbar with the traffic police - this process is divided into the following stages:
- Preliminary examination in the traffic police department;
- Expertise after changes are made;
- Safety assessment.
After the second stage has been passed, the car owner is issued a certificate in the traffic police on the basis of the protocol of the technical examination carried out.
Conclusion
Many car manufacturers provide for towing in their models, so in some cases registration of a towbar is not required. However, if its installation involves welding, drilling or other changes to the existing vehicle structure, such changes will have to be recorded.
