The State Duma approved the proposal of the deputy chairman of the parliamentary committee Vyacheslav Lysakov to provide conscientious payers with a 50% discount for traffic violations. In this regard, amendments have been made to the Code of Administrative Offenses. Drivers who have been issued a fine can pay it within 10 days at a discount.
The amendments made to the Code of Administrative Offenses will enter into force on January 1, 2013. If the driver has violated the traffic rules and the inspector of the road patrol service has completed the protocol on the imposition of an administrative fine, the driver has the right to receive a 50% discount. To do this, you just need to contact the nearest branch of the bank that accepts payments from the population and pay half of the fine. This can be done only within 10 days from the date of registration of the protocol.
Currently, in case of violation of traffic rules, the driver has the right to pay a fine within 40 days. The decision on an administrative offense comes into legal force only after 10 days from the date of the violation. Another 30 days are given to pay the issued fine.
The amendments made to the Code of Administrative Offenses are designed for conscientious drivers who are ready to admit guilt without trial. Drivers who are not ready to pay within 10 days and plan to challenge the protocol issued by the traffic safety inspector cannot qualify for a discount when paying a fine.
As of today, the maximum fine is 5,000 rubles. When receiving a 50% discount, drivers who have violated the traffic rules can significantly save their personal budget.
Before the amendments were adopted, often a fine for violation of traffic rules settled in the pocket of the traffic police inspector, and most often the driver paid, without any protocol, exactly half of the amount due for violation of the amount. With the introduction of amendments to the Administrative Code, such cases can be completely eliminated. The offender will be aware of his rights and will not offer a bribe to the inspector.
In addition, the changes made will help drivers to fully realize that punishment for violating traffic rules is inevitable, but timely payment of the issued fine helps to significantly save money.
