Driving license is required for legal driving of any vehicle. Only state bodies issue these documents, and a person can be trained in any driving school. It would seem that he got the rights and drive quietly with his car, motorcycle, etc. But due to certain circumstances, a person may be driving without any documents. For an unenlightened driver, driving without a license has only one drawback - traffic police officers can fine it. In fact, not everything is so simple and the consequences for managing without documents may be different. Let us examine in more detail the most common cases.

Options in which the actions of the driver there is no malicious intent

1. Suppose a driver accidentally forgot his rights at home, at work, etc. Such cases are best explained in Article 12.3 of the Administrative Code of Ukraine, which provides for a driver a fine of 500 rubles. At the same time, it is possible to continue driving a car (or another vehicle) only after the inspector checks the driver at his base. If everything is in order and the person really has rights, then, most likely, he will be released. But for one reason or another, a police officer may refuse to “punch” the driver. Then you have to go for the documents and bring them to the scene of the offense. This case has the easiest consequences for the driver!

   

   Now every vehicle needs a license, even on a moped, not to mention quad bikes.

2. In the event that documents are lost or stolen, driving a car or other vehicles is impossible. It is necessary as soon as possible to go to the nearest traffic police department and explain the situation. It is important to understand that punishment will follow even if the driver is stopped on the way to the police. And if a person is able to convince employees that he really is going to write a statement about the loss of documents, then the penalty for driving without a license will be similar - a fine of 500 rubles.

When the police find that the driver is not deprived of a certificate, he will be released. After contacting the registration authorities, the vehicle owner will receive temporary documents. The so-called "temporary building" completely replaces the driver's license and is valid until the full restoration of the main documents. As a rule, new rights are made in the period from 1 to 2 months. After everything is ready, the citizen remains to pick up the documents in the traffic police and pass a temporary permit.

Cases in which the vehicle owner intentionally commits a violation

1. If a person simply does not have rights (he did not study at a driving school, did not pass state exams), but he decided to drive, then the consequences would be very serious. In particular, driving a vehicle without a driver's license because of his absence carries a serious fine, the amount of which can vary from 5,000 to 15,000 rubles. But the matter will not be limited to monetary recovery. By law, in such a situation, the inspector removes the driver from control, and sends the vehicle to a special parking lot. The final amount of the fine, based on the circumstances of the case, will be determined by the court!
2. За рулем оказался человек, у которого нет водительского удостоверения, но рядом находится владелец транспортного средства, имеющий права! Типичная ситуация, являющаяся предметом многочисленных споров. В этом случае penalty for driving without a license будет составлять 30 000 рублей! Некоторые автолюбители полагают, что иногда можно немного «порулить» без документов, ведь тут же есть человек с правами. Подобная «рулежка» допустима только во время обучения вождению, на специально оборудованном автомобиле и под присмотром инструктора.
3. Driving without a license (without being certified). Such a situation involves the most severe punishment. Such a “deprived person” can be arrested for 15 days or fined 30,000 rubles, while the car will in any case be sent to the penalty area. Also, the court may assign the violator social work, the volume of which starts from 100 and ends with 200 hours!

Penalty for delay in driving license

You need to understand that an overdue driver's license is in fact equivalent to his absence. Above mentioned, what a penalty for driving without a license is waiting for the driver! It does not matter for what reason he did not change the documents, in any case he will be punished. According to Art. 12.7 of the Administrative Code in this case, the fine will be from 5,000 to 15,000 rubles! It is clear that for 10 years (it is this period of validity that VU have in Russia) you can forget about timely replacement, but it is better to worry about it in advance.

Punishment for driving without an appropriate category

Since 2013, additional subcategories have been added to the standard categories of driver's licenses in the Russian Federation. Such innovations made it possible to avoid disagreements in the interpretation of the rules! Now the law clearly regulates which vehicle you can drive and which you cannot drive. At present, the movement “without category” is equated with the management of “without rights”. For example, driving a car with a trailer is not enough to have category B. An appropriate subcategory is required, otherwise a fine is waiting for the driver (5,000–15,000 rubles)!

New driver license categories

It is necessary to elaborate on new subcategories. Since last year, TB / Tm categories have been introduced that regulate the management of trolley buses and trams. It is noteworthy that it was decided to abolish category E, which permits driving trucks. Now it will be replaced by subcategories BE, CE, DE, etc. Separate consideration was given to the vehicle, which previously could be controlled without a VU. From now on, to drive a scooter, it is enough to have any category, while category M is additionally included in the rights.
