But for some violations, an alternative to deprivation is a fine, and for serious violations, rights are withdrawn in any case.
The terms of deprivation of rights, depending on the seriousness of the violation, range from one month to two years. However, there are cases when the driver has violated several points of the traffic rules, and in such a situation the terms can be summed up.
