New laws for motorists. Russia has introduced restrictions for novice drivers Changes in traffic rules since the beginning of the year

Change in traffic rules of April 4, 2017 Consider the new changes that come into effect from April 4, 2017... From this date, new clauses will be added to the rules that introduce additional restrictions for drivers with a driving experience of less than 2 years.

Also, several changes affected the speed of movement of motorcyclists and identification marks (novice driver, spikes, road train, deaf driver, etc.). Let's take a closer look at the changes.

Maximum speed for motorcycles on motorways

Consider the traffic rules:

It was

Passenger 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 and motorcycles on all roads - no more than 90 km / h;

Has become
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;

Other buses, cars when towing a trailer, trucks with a maximum permissible weight of more than 3.5 tons on highways - no more than 90 km / h, on other roads - no more than 70 km / h;

For trucks transporting people in the back - no more than 60 km / h;
- vehicles carrying out organized transportation of groups of children - no more than 60 km / h;

Starting April 4, 2017, motorcyclists can ride motorways at a speed of 110 km / h. Previously, the limit was 90 km / h.

Towing restrictions for novice drivers

Added new traffic rules:

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 take a look at this innovation.
  • Immediately, we draw your attention to the fact that this paragraph applies only to the towing of motor vehicles, that is, any driver can tow a trailer, this will not be considered a violation.
  • Restrictions apply only to the driver of the towing car, that is, he is behind the wheel of the car that pulls. Driving a second car can be a driver with any experience.
  • A driver who is driving a towing vehicle must have the right to drive vehicles for 2 or more years.

Let's look at an example. The driver received a license of category "A1" at the age of 16, and at the age of 18 he opened the category "B", it turns out that he has more than 2 years of driving experience, which means that he can immediately tow.

The fine for violation of the towing rules is provided for by article 12.21 of the Administrative Code and is 500 rubles (or a warning).


Restrictions on the carriage of people on motorcycles and mopeds

Added new traffic rules:

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 any category or subcategory for 2 years or more.


Features of the installation of the sign "Novice driver"

Minor changes were also made to the description of the "Novice driver" sign:

It was
"Novice driver"- in the form of a yellow square (side 150 mm) 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.


Has become
"Novice driver"- in the form of a yellow square (side 150 mm) 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.


Introduction of a fine for lack of identification marks

New clause 7.15 1 added to:

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 Responsibilities 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, movement ".


Starting from April 4, 2017, the operation of vehicles on which there are noidentificationsigns are prohibited. These are the following signs:
  • Road train.
  • Thorns.
  • Transportation of children.
  • Deaf driver.

Over the last week of March, several important amendments to traffic rules and other regulations were adopted, which entered into force in April. In particular, the rules for transporting children by buses are changing, new rules for replacing driver's licenses come into force, and traffic rules for novice drivers are being tightened. In addition, the tariff of the Platon system will change from April 15, and resonant amendments to the law on OSAGO will come into force at the end of April. All this is in the material of the portal Avtospravochnaya.com

The new procedure for submitting a notification about the organized transportation of a group of children by buses was approved by order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated December 30, 2016 No. 941.

According to the document, the notification of the transportation of children is submitted to the regional traffic police departments at the place of the beginning of the transportation, and in their absence - to the corresponding traffic police department of the territorial body of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

Departmental order established requirements for the content of the notification. The following information must be present:

Charterer (customer of transportation)

Freighter (carrier)

Route program

Bus (buses)

Driver (s)

The person who submitted the notification (for legal entities).

The notification is submitted in person or in electronic form by the head of the organization or an official responsible for ensuring road safety, and in the case of organized transportation of a group of children under a charter agreement - by a charterer or a freighter (by mutual agreement).

The deadline for submitting a notification about the organized transportation of a group of children to the traffic police department is no later than 2 days before the start of transportation. Upon receipt of the notification, a check of the information on the registration of the bus and its technical inspection, as well as on the availability of the driver's license of category "D" allowed to drive the bus, is organized. In addition, the information on the absence of administrative offenses in the field of road traffic, for which punishment in the form of deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle or an administrative arrest, within the last year is checked.

On March 24, 2017, a decree of the Government of the Russian Federation was signed, which introduces restrictions for novice drivers with less than 2 years of experience. In particular, novice drivers were banned from towing, and for the absence of a sign on the car, they will now prohibit its operation.

We will remind, earlier, drivers whose driving experience is less than 2 years, it was proposed at the legislative level to limit the maximum speed to 70 km / h, when driving on any roads. In addition, they wanted to prohibit such drivers from towing a car, and novice moped and motorcycle drivers - from transporting passengers.

However, not all initiatives were included in the final version of the document. Government Decree No. 333 of March 24, 2017 introduced the following restrictions for drivers with less than 2 years of experience:

It is forbidden to tow vehicles

It is forbidden to carry passengers on a motorcycle and moped

It is forbidden to drive a car without the sign "Novice driver"

With regard to the last point, now the absence of the "Novice driver" sign has been included in the "Basic Provisions for the Admission of Vehicles to Operation and the Responsibilities of Road Safety Officials", among the malfunctions in which the operation of the vehicle is prohibited.

By Government Decree No. 333 of March 24, 2017, the absence of the "Novice Driver" sign was included in the "Basic Provisions for the Admission of Vehicles to Operation and the Duties of Officials to Ensure Road Safety", among the malfunctions in which the operation of the vehicle is prohibited.

However, it is worth noting that this applies not only to this sign alone. If you look at the text of Resolution No. 333, then the following is noted there:

"The Appendix to the said Basic Provisions shall be supplemented with clause 7.15.1 as follows:" 7.15.1. There are no identification signs 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 ... "

Thus, formally, from April 4, 2017, for the absence of any sign from clause 8 of the "Basic Provisions", drivers are threatened with a ban on the operation of the car. This includes the following signs:

- "Road train"

- "Thorns"

- "Transportation of children"

- "Deaf driver"

- "Training vehicle"

- "Speed ​​limit"

- "Dangerous cargo"

- "Bulky cargo"

- "Slow-moving vehicle"

- "Long vehicle"

- "Novice driver"

From April 4, if any of these signs should be installed on the car, but it is not, then the traffic inspector can prohibit the further operation of the car and the law will be on his side.

The Government of the Russian Federation has made changes to the Rules for conducting exams for the right to drive vehicles and issuing driver's licenses. The corresponding decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 326 was signed on March 23, 2017.

This document introduces two important changes to the rules for replacing rights:

If the rights are replaced not due to the expiration of the term, the new rights will be issued for 10 years

You can now change rights on your own initiative, without giving a reason

Now, when changing rights, for example, after marriage and change of surname, new rights are issued with the same validity period as the previous ones. For example, if you received a license 9 years ago and changed them due to a new surname or other reasons, then in a year their validity period will expire and you will have to change them again. With the adoption of these amendments, new rights will be issued for 10 years. True, for this you will have to present a medical certificate, even in those cases in which it was not necessary earlier.

As for the second point, now the driver can change his license on his own initiative. For example, if he stopped liking a photo on a document.

From April 15, 2017, the tariffs of the Platon system were supposed to double at once. However, just a few days ago, after a meeting with representatives of the auto business, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a new decree and now the tariff will not rise so sharply.

Now the tariff of "Platon" from April 15, 2017 will increase by 25%. Thus, from April, the toll on federal highways will be 1.91 rubles per kilometer. Recall that there is now a temporary reduction factor to the tariff and truckers pay 1.53 rubles per kilometer.

Obligatory fare for trucks with a gross weight of over 12 tons on federal highways (Platon system) has been operating in Russia since November 15, 2015.

In April 2017, Rosavtodor plans to introduce traffic restrictions for heavy vehicles. Restriction of traffic in the spring period is carried out by establishing permissible values ​​of the axle load of vehicles on those sections of federal highways where the strength of the construction of road pavements does not provide the possibility of passing heavy vehicles.

In addition, from April 15 to May 14, 2017, it is planned to introduce temporary traffic restrictions on the regional roads of the Republic of Tatarstan.

According to the results of diagnostics of roads of regional significance, the maximum permissible values ​​of the loads on the axles of the vehicle in the spring period were established:

Single axle - 6 tons;

Biaxial bogie - 5 tons

Three-axle bogie - 4 tons.

The restrictions will not apply to the following types of transportation:

International carriage of goods carried out in accordance with the provisions;

Passenger transportation by buses, including international;

Transportation of food products, animals, medicines, seeds, fertilizers, mail and postal cargo (except for joint transportation with cargo not specified in this paragraph);

Vehicles with a carrying capacity of up to 16 tons carrying fuel, namely gasoline, diesel fuel, marine fuel, jet fuel, heating oil, gaseous fuel (fuel trucks with a tank capacity of up to 18 thousand liters);

Transportation of goods required to eliminate the consequences of natural disasters or other emergencies.

Transportation of road construction and road maintenance equipment and materials used in emergency recovery and repair work;

Vehicles of federal executive bodies in which military service is provided for by federal law.

During the period of the introduction of a temporary restriction in the spring, the movement of vehicles on regional highways, the axle load of which exceeds the aforementioned permissible loads, is carried out exclusively on the basis of a special permit. A prerequisite for obtaining such a permit is preliminary compensation for excess damage caused by vehicles.

On March 28, 2017, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a bill on compensation in kind for OSAGO.

Recall that on March 17, 2017, the bill was adopted by the State Duma in the third, final reading. According to the insurers' initiative, in most cases, instead of paying in cash, motorists will now only receive referrals for repairs to a car service.

The latest version of the document takes into account the following amendments:

The distance to the service station either from the place of the accident, or from the place of residence of the car owner (optional) - up to 50 km.

The repair period for the car should be no more than 30 days; for each day of delay, the insurance company will be charged a fine of 0.5% of the amount to be reimbursed.

The Bank of Russia will amend the normative act, establishing the requirements for the organization of repairs and the procedure for interaction between the insurer and the consumer, including in the case of detection of poor-quality repairs.

The consumer will be able to choose the service station where he wants to repair the car in the event of an accident from the register of the insurance company or, in agreement with the insurer, designate his own station.

The document prohibits the use of used parts when repairing a car.

The calculation of the amount of compensation for in-kind OSAGO is made without taking into account the deterioration of the car and parts.

The warranty period for repairs is six months and one year for bodywork and paintwork - 1 year.

Cars not older than 2 years, which have a guarantee, must be repaired by the relevant service stations, which have the right to carry out work, while maintaining the guarantee.

A list of cases has been approved when a cash payment can be made: infliction of grave or moderate harm to health, death of the victim, complete destruction of the car, excess of the cost of repairs over the limit of payment of compulsory motor third party liability insurance (400,000 rubles). Also, monetary compensation can be paid to certain categories of disabled people. The car owner will have the right to demand compensation for damages in cash if the insurer is unable to arrange repairs at the service station proposed to him earlier.

The Bank of Russia has the right to make a decision to restrict the insurer, which has been repeatedly complained about by car owners, to compensate for the damage caused in the form of repairs for a period of up to one year.

On March 28, the document was signed by the President and officially published on the Government website. The bill will enter into force 30 days after its official publication and will apply to only new OSAGO agreements. Accordingly, the new amendments will take effect for OSAGO policies concluded after April 28, 2017.

: No. 333 dated March 24 this year and No. 326 dated March 23. The documents came into force on Tuesday.

As Gazeta.Ru already wrote, the innovations mainly affected novice drivers with less than two years of experience. They are now prohibited from towing other power-driven vehicles. Also, novice moped and motorcycle drivers are prohibited from transporting passengers before reaching two years of experience. In addition, beginners will need to stick the Novice Driver sign on the car window.

The speed limit for motorcyclists has changed. Now they will be allowed to drive on normal roads at speeds up to 90 km / h, and on the highway, like cars, to accelerate to 110 km / h, although previously it was not officially allowed to travel faster than 90 km / h.

This is done so that bikers have the legal ability to move at the speed of the main stream of cars, which reduces the risk of an emergency. However, it is worth noting that motorcyclists have not bothered much with observing the speed limit before, preferring to move at their own pace. However, with the appearance on large highways of complexes for fixing traffic violations, changing the speed limit becomes a rather urgent topic for motorcyclists.

The responsibility for the absence on the glass not only of the sign "Novice driver", but also of a number of others, including "Spikes", "Transportation of children", "Deaf driver", "Pupil", "Dangerous cargo", has become more stringent.

In all these cases, violators will be fined 500 rubles, and the absence of a sticker will be the reason for a ban on the operation of the vehicle, so it is better for special categories of drivers to prepare in advance for a meeting on the road with employees.

Experts note that the “Ш” sticker, which informs about studded tires, will help other road users, since the properties of such tires in icy conditions or ordinary asphalt are noticeably different from non-studded tires.

By design, the presence of such stickers on cars will help traffic participants better navigate in road conditions and reduce the number of accidents, and possible sanctions will make their use widespread.

In another government decree, Russians were allowed to apply for a driver's license, change them and receive ready-made documents in multifunctional centers of public services. The innovation will help to relieve the traffic police from the queues, and the drivers will now be able to receive the demanded service in a convenient place for them.

“In addition, the issue of replacing the Russian national driver's license before its expiration has been clarified. Now, subject to the submission of a valid medical certificate on their own initiative, you can get a new driver's license valid for 10 years, ”the Ministry of Internal Affairs said.

Thus, in the event of a loss of rights, the driver will be able to receive a new document not for the period until the expiration of the previously issued certificate, but for the full period of their validity.

According to the new regulation, any police officer, not necessarily a traffic police officer, has the right to stop a car to prevent illegal actions.

True, other police officers are allowed to stop cars only when working together with traffic police officers and strictly in accordance with their powers. He can be dressed in civilian clothes, but he must present his official ID and must introduce himself. In any case, the motorist has the right not to stop at the request of a person in "civilian".

It is important to note that in accordance with the new regulations, a traffic police officer has the right to stop and demand your documents only when he is on a patrol car, and not on a civilian one. The new document gives the police officer the right to take video during a conversation with the driver. But he is obliged to warn about his intention to turn on the video camera. At the same time, the inspector can now shoot on a regular smartphone.

As before, the police officer must introduce himself, name his rank and position. He is obliged to present his official ID in the open form only at the request of the driver.

It is important for motorists to know that, at their request, the police officer is obliged to inform the location and phone number of the duty group of his traffic police unit, prompt the phone number of the duty unit of the territorial body of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. One of the provisions of the new regulation gives the traffic cop the right to initiate an administrative case against a person who has not fulfilled the requirements of a police officer under Part 1 of Article 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

An innocent refusal to show his rights is threatened with a fine of up to a thousand rubles or with arrest for 15 days, if the court decides so. It is important that the driver is obliged to remove the cover from the documents and unfasten the chain, if any. Now, if the inspector discovers unnecessary details (money or securities) in the documents handed over to him, he is obliged to return the documents to the driver and demand to show only "crusts", without money and "restraints" (meaning chains).

Recall that according to the current law, the driver must hand over documents without a cover, securities and money. As for the determination of the amount of the fine, the new document obliges the inspector to take into account the driver's age, his marital and property status, and place of residence.

A traffic police officer is allowed to use brute force against a road user. A police officer can take such a step only for the purpose of self-defense and in full compliance with Articles 18-24 of the Federal Law "On Police".

The traffic police were given the right to use unmanned aerial vehicles for traffic supervision, and not just airships and balloons.

The new document informs the inspector that in order to conduct the search, he must have reasonable assumptions about the presence of prohibited items in the car. This applies to weapons, ammunition, cartridges, explosives and explosive devices, drugs, psychotropic substances, poisonous or radioactive substances.

But still, before starting to scour the car, the inspector needs to find two witnesses or to take video.

Restrictions were introduced for novice drivers

The Russian government has adopted a decree on the introduction of restrictions for drivers whose driving experience is less than two years. The document was published today on the official website of the Cabinet.

Restrictions for this category relate to the possibility of towing vehicles driven by them, other power-driven vehicles; carriage of passengers by motor vehicles; driving vehicles carrying bulky, heavy and dangerous goods.

In particular, on vehicles driven by novice drivers, the identification mark "Novice driver" is mandatory, it is noted in the explanatory note to the document.

It is assumed that the decisions taken will lead to an improvement in the situation on Russian roads.

Meanwhile, the traffic police of the Russian Federation records a decrease in accidents with the participation of novice drivers. As previously reported, by the end of January this year, the number of such road accidents decreased by 34 percent compared to last year. But at the same time, the number of applicants for obtaining rights is decreasing: if in 2015 1.58 million people received them, then in 2016 - by 200 thousand people less.

In Russia, the rules for the replacement and issuance of driver's licenses have changed

Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree on endowing multifunctional centers (MFC) with the functions of replacing driver's licenses, the corresponding document was published on the government website.

Now the rights can be issued only by the State Traffic Inspectorate units.

The government decree provides that the MFC will be able to issue drivers with new licenses received from the traffic police, as well as an international driver's license.

In addition, the signed document clarifies the issues of replacing driver's licenses before their expiration. According to the new rules, drivers who have provided a medical certificate will be able to obtain a new license for ten years, whereas now the originally established period cannot be changed.

Also, the government decree clarifies the procedure for exchanging foreign driver's licenses for Russian licenses.

The new rules are designed to improve the quality of the provision of public services, reduce the financial and time costs of Russians, as well as reduce corruption risks.

Supreme Court overturns car seat fine

The dispute over child restraints is still unresolved.

The Supreme Court canceled a traffic police fine of three thousand rubles for not having a car seat in a car: a resident of Yekaterinburg was transporting a child wearing a seat belt adapter without other special devices. The court substantiated its decision by the fact that the adapter is fully consistent with the current legislation, - writes "Kommersant".

The situation, however, is far from straightforward: in Europe and Russia, adapters have been banned since last year, and the GOST, which the court referred to, generally has an exclusively voluntary character. Meanwhile, the current traffic rules say that children under 12 years old can be transported using restraints or "other means that allow you to fasten a child using seat belts." What kind of "other means" is not deciphered.

President Putin has already instructed the traffic police to develop a new version of the traffic rules, which would regulate, among other things, the "children's issue", and it was ready already last December - however, the government has not yet officially approved the changes in the rules. The new edition of the traffic rules leaves only two options for transporting children under 12 years old - car seats and boosters. At the same time, some softening of the rules is introduced: for transporting children under seven years old in the back seat, a car seat or booster must be used, when transporting children over seven years old - at the discretion of the parent.

The controversy surrounding car seats, adapters and boosters has been going on for many years. Independent tests of the adapters demonstrate that they do not securely fix the child. However, their main manufacturer in Russia refers to the Hungarian tests - according to them, all the documentation for production and sale was received. And he clarifies: all other tests are the intrigues of competitors. Boosters are also questionable: they do not fix the child's head in case of an accident, therefore, in Europe, back in February 2017, they were banned for transporting children below 125 cm and weighing less than 22 kg.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has finalized the administrative regulations for car inspectors, who will have more opportunities to control motorists.
- It was decided to postpone the introduction from April 1, 2017 of the new regulations for the actions of the traffic police. This is a necessary measure, since, based on the results of public discussion of the document, it must be coordinated with other federal authorities and a new examination be carried out at the Ministry of Economic Development, - the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation told Life.

Now in the Russian Federation there is a regulation approved back in 2009, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already prepared a new one.

In the revised draft, the provision that prohibits traffic cops from stopping drivers to check documents outside stationary posts has disappeared. This innovation in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation is explained by the fact that in conditions of staff reductions, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot fully protect public order, being on duty only at stationary posts. Thus, if the project survives, then drivers will again be stopped anywhere.

There are also pleasant moments for the driver. For example, in case of a negative result of the examination for the state of intoxication, the traffic cop or the policeman will be obliged to take the driver himself to the place where he left his car.

The new regulation will also spell out the driver's right to present to the inspector for inspection a printout of the electronic version of the OSAGO policy.

In addition, the new rules are supposed to exclude the provision on the removal of license plates. As follows from the document, this is due to the fact that the corresponding norm in the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation was canceled back in 2014.

Also, the police will no longer be able to withdraw driver's licenses and prohibit the operation of the cars themselves.

In addition, the new regulation allows the police to use not only helicopters, balloons, airships and motor hang-gliders, but also drones to monitor the traffic situation.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation promises that the new regulations will include a rule according to which, when drawing up a protocol, the driver will now be able to evaluate the evidence presented to the traffic police, question them and give counter-arguments that must be "thoroughly and comprehensively" checked.

According to the current regulations, the police are not obliged to accept and write down explanations from the drivers in the protocol, and under far-fetched pretexts - “you did not fill out the protocol in accordance with the established form” - they force drivers to rewrite the protocols, - lawyer Alexander Ostrovsky tells Life.

A separate clause related to corruption has also appeared in the new regulation: if a driver “inclines an employee to abuse his office, take a bribe and otherwise illegally use his position in order to obtain benefits in the form of money, valuables,” the inspector is obliged to submit a notification to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in a special form ...

In the current regulations, this rule is absent, - lawyer Ostrovsky explained to Life.

As the lawyer notes, the draft new regulation increases the number of reasons for stopping a vehicle by a traffic police inspector. Now it will not only be a violation of traffic rules, but also the concept of "ensuring the unhindered passage of special-purpose vehicles" - ambulances, police, FSB, TFR and other law enforcement agencies.

Meanwhile, the inspector will be prohibited from stopping ambulances and vehicles of funeral services.

We have already published material about the changes for drivers since April 2017. However, literally in the last week of March, several important amendments to the traffic rules and other regulations were adopted, which will come into force in April. In particular, the rules for transporting children by buses are changing, new rules for replacing driver's licenses come into force, and traffic rules for novice drivers are being tightened. In addition, the tariff of the Platon system will change from April 15, and resonant amendments to the law on OSAGO will come into force at the end of April. About all this - in the material of the portal site

New rules for the carriage of children from April 1, 2017

The new procedure for submitting a notification about the organized transportation of a group of children by buses was approved by order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated December 30, 2016 No. 941.

According to the document, the notification of the transportation of children is submitted to the regional traffic police departments at the place of the beginning of the transportation, and in their absence - to the corresponding traffic police department of the territorial body of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

Departmental order established requirements for the content of the notification. The following information must be present:

  • charterer (customer of transportation)
  • charterer (carrier)
  • route program
  • bus (buses)
  • driver (s)
  • the person who submitted the notification (for legal entities).

The notification is submitted in person or in electronic form by the head of the organization or an official responsible for ensuring road safety, and in the case of organized transportation of a group of children under a charter agreement - by a charterer or a freighter (by mutual agreement).

The deadline for submitting a notification about the organized transportation of a group of children to the traffic police department is no later than 2 days before the start of transportation. Upon receipt of the notification, a check of the information on the registration of the bus and its technical inspection, as well as on the availability of the driver's license of category "D" allowed to drive the bus, is organized. In addition, the information on the absence of administrative offenses in the field of road traffic, for which punishment in the form of deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle or an administrative arrest, within the last year is checked.

Changes for novice drivers from April 4, 2017

On March 24, 2017, a decree of the Government of the Russian Federation was signed, which introduces restrictions for novice drivers with less than 2 years of experience. In particular, novice drivers were banned from towing, and for the absence of a sign on the car, they will now prohibit its operation.

We will remind, earlier, drivers whose driving experience is less than 2 years, it was proposed at the legislative level to limit the maximum speed to 70 km / h, when driving on any roads. In addition, they wanted to prohibit such drivers from towing a car, and novice moped and motorcycle drivers - from transporting passengers.

However, not all initiatives were included in the final version of the document. Government Decree No. 333 of March 24, 2017 introduced the following restrictions for drivers with less than 2 years of experience:

  • it is forbidden to tow vehicles
  • it is forbidden to carry passengers on a motorcycle and moped
  • it is forbidden to drive a car without a sign "Novice driver"

With regard to the last point, now the absence of the "Novice driver" sign has been included in the "Basic Provisions for the Admission of Vehicles to Operation and the Responsibilities of Road Safety Officials", among the malfunctions in which the operation of the vehicle is prohibited.

The Thorns badge will become mandatory on April 4th

Government Decree No. 333 of March 24, 2017the absence of the sign "Novice driver" is included in the "Basic Provisions for the Admission of Vehicles to Operation and the Duties of Officials to Ensure Road Safety", among the malfunctions in which the operation of the vehicle is prohibited.

However, it is worth noting that this applies not only to this sign alone. If you look at the text of Resolution No. 333, then the following is noted there:

"The Appendix to the said Basic Provisions shall be supplemented with clause 7.15.1 as follows:" 7.15.1. There are no identification signs 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 ... "

Thus, formally, from April 4, 2017, for the absence of any sign from clause 8 of the "Basic Provisions", drivers are threatened with a ban on the operation of the car. This includes the following signs:

  • "Road train"
  • "Thorns"
  • "Transportation of children"
  • "Deaf driver"
  • "Training vehicle"
  • "Speed ​​limit"
  • "Dangerous cargo"
  • "Bulky cargo"
  • "Slow-moving vehicle"
  • "Long vehicle"

Replacement of driver's license from April 4, 2017

From April 4, 2017, new rules will come into force when changing a driver's license.

The Government of the Russian Federation has made changes to the Rules for conducting exams for the right to drive vehicles and issuing driver's licenses. The corresponding decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 326 was signed on March 23, 2017.

This document introduces two important changes to the rules for replacing rights:

  • if the rights are replaced not due to the expiration of the term, the new rights will be issued for 10 years
  • you can now change rights on your own initiative, without giving a reason

Now, when changing rights, for example, after marriage and change of surname, new rights are issued with the same validity period as the previous ones. For example, if you received a license 9 years ago and changed them due to a new surname or other reasons, then in a year their validity period will expire and you will have to change them again. With the adoption of these amendments, new rights will be issued for 10 years. True, for this you will have to present a medical certificate, even in those cases in which it was not necessary earlier.

As for the second point, now the driver can change his license on his own initiative. For example, if he stopped liking a photo on a document.

Increase in tariffs "Platon" from April 15, 2017

From April 15, 2017, the tariffs of the Platon system were supposed to double at once. However, just a few days ago, after a meeting with representatives of the auto business, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a new decree and now the tariff will not rise so sharply.

Restrictions on the passage of trucks in Tatarstan from April 15, 2017

In April 2017, Rosavtodor plans to introduce traffic restrictions for heavy vehicles. Restriction of traffic in the spring period is carried out by establishing permissible values ​​of the axle load of vehicles on those sections of federal highways where the strength of the construction of road pavements does not provide the possibility of passing heavy vehicles.

In addition, from April 15 to May 14, 2017, it is planned to introduce temporary traffic restrictions on the regional roads of the Republic of Tatarstan.

According to the results of diagnostics of roads of regional significance, the maximum permissible values ​​of the loads on the axles of the vehicle in the spring period were established:

  • single axle - 6 tons;
  • biaxial bogie - 5 tons
  • three-axle bogie - 4 tons.

The restrictions will not apply to the following types of transportation:

  • international carriage of goods carried out in accordance with the provisions;
  • passenger transportation by buses, including international;
  • transportation of food products, animals, medicines, seeds, fertilizers, mail and postal cargo (except for joint transportation with cargo not specified in this paragraph);
  • vehicles with a carrying capacity of up to 16 tons carrying fuel, namely gasoline, diesel fuel, marine fuel, jet fuel, heating oil, gaseous fuel (fuel trucks with a tank capacity of up to 18 thousand liters);
  • transportation of goods necessary to eliminate the consequences of natural disasters or other emergencies.
  • transportation of road construction and road maintenance equipment and materials used in emergency recovery and repair work;
  • vehicles of federal executive bodies in which military service is provided for by federal law.

During the period of the introduction of a temporary restriction in the spring, the movement of vehicles on regional highways, the axle load of which exceeds the aforementioned permissible loads, is carried out exclusively on the basis of a special permit. A prerequisite for obtaining such a permit is preliminary compensation for excess damage caused by vehicles.
