6 September 2018

Until the fine varies from 500 to 800 rubles

The government is considering the possibility of increasing the penalty for driving without insurance policy. About it told Deputy Finance Minister Alexei Moiseev in an interview with RIA Novosti on the eve of the Moscow financial forum.

At the moment the motorist, not issued in time a compulsory insurance, must pay a fine in the amount from 500 to 800 rubles. Many believe that responsibility a long time need to be increased.

Alexey Moiseev held a direct analogy between the consciousness of the driver and the presence of the insurance policy. a "My rights as a law-abiding road users are violated by people who are to blame in an accident and have no insurance, they will not reimburse me for the damage," — said the Deputy Minister.

It is noteworthy that the representative of the Ministry of Finance has not only broadcasted the interests of insurers, who are always in favor of higher fines (higher fines, fewer people will drive without insurance), but also stood up for ordinary motorists. Mr. Moses admitted that the insurance companies always demand to toughen the punishment, but he meets the following: "First, get familiar with the quality of repair, and then you can consider raising fines".

Meanwhile, in recent years in the act insurance and related items SDA was made just a few changes. First, two days ago, the rules changed the design of e-insurance. Now the contract is e-insurance can not enter into force earlier than three days from the date of its conclusion. In other words, no you can't just issue the policy on the insurance company website, print it and then to go with him. In many cases it will be inconvenient a delay the new policy until the last moment, so that when the expiration of the old insurance will have three days to sit at home, even if the e-CTP is already decorated. Such limitations motivated the Central Bank's fight against fraud.

Second, later this month in Moscow the traffic cameras will start fining motorists for absence of the insurance policy. Gradually this feature will also apply to the regions. While the penalty for lack of insurance is only 500 rubles. One day cameras will be able to write only one penalty for a specific car regardless of how many times he gets into the field of view.
