Based on everyday practice, not everyone is able to park their car correctly. And, as you know, there is a fine for this. But what to do if you are confident in the correctness of your actions and “vouch” for the correct parking of your car? In this case, you have the right to appeal the actions of the traffic police officers and the imposed sanctions. Let's take a closer look at this procedure.
Since June 2012, the rules for issuing fines for illegally parking a car have become much stricter. As it turned out, the majority of all drivers simply do not know how to park, which leads to traffic jams and traffic accidents. At the moment, the fine for illegal parking in Moscow ranges from 1,500 to 3,000 rubles. Its size depends on the type and extent of violations, as well as your city of residence. According to the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (CAO), there are such types of illegal parking:- on tram tracks and public transport stops;
- near the “No Stopping” sign;
- on the lawn or park areas;
- in places for disabled people;
- at a pedestrian crossing;
- On Pavement;
- in places where there is a massive concentration of cars and possible traffic jams.
In addition, maximum sanctions are provided for non-payment of private parking services, as well as deliberate violations in the form of license plate removal or other fraudulent transactions.
If you nevertheless encounter this “ill-fated letter” to pay a fine, do not rush to complain to the traffic police inspectorate. First, make sure it's not a fake. The official receipt must contain:- 2 photographs of the car from different angles confirming incorrect parking;
- number of the car;
- the address at which the violation was recorded;
- payment details.
Check the correctness of bank accounts, as well as the size of the sanction on the State Traffic Inspectorate website. In addition, you can subscribe to SMS notifications when a fine is imposed. To do this, send a free message to number 7377 with the text “fine Series STS Number” or “fine Series VU Number VU”. In the first case, we are talking about a car registration certificate, and in the second, a driver’s license.
- original passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
- a copy of the administrative violation resolution;
- complaint about sanctions imposed;
- a request to consider a complaint if the established deadlines are violated (if documents are submitted later than within 10 days);
- a statement with a request to consider the issue without personal presence (if necessary);
- photographs, videos and other materials confirming the legality of your actions.
These documents can be submitted in person to the traffic police service or by e-mail. [email protected] . The processing time for your application is 3 days.
