Fines for violating traffic rules are not uncommon today, so motorists are often interested in how to save time and money and pay a traffic police fine with a 50 percent discount. The modern possibilities of the Internet will help to carry out this procedure.
What traffic fines can be paid with a 50 percent discount
On January 1, 2016, the Federal Law signed by Vladimir Putin came into force, according to which drivers can pay a traffic police fine with a 50 percent discount. The reason for its adoption was the rather low rates of debt repayment in recent years, and the new benefits will allow car owners to conveniently and on time make fines at a discount.
Drivers who have committed a minor offense receive a 50 percent discount (the number of such violations, according to statistics, is approximately 80% of all actions punishable by a fine). Any offenses will be considered minor, except for drunk driving, refusal of a medical examination, repeated exceeding the prescribed speed, driving into the oncoming lane, causing harm to health of medium or light severity and some others.
To make sure whether you can pay the traffic police fine with a 50 percent discount, you need to carefully read the penalty order issued to you.

The 50% discount will be valid only for 20 days from the moment the protocol is issued. With the onset of the 21st day, the fine will have to be paid in full.
