In most modern countries, a driver's license, usually called “rights,” is issued for a limited period. This innovation has not bypassed Russia. Now, unlike in the Soviet Union, where this document was issued on a perpetual basis, it is necessary to confirm the right to drive a vehicle at intervals of 10 years. With expired rights, you can not sit behind the wheel.

Situations in which the driver was without a certificate

Answer the question about the punishment for the lack of rights during the verification of documents by a law enforcement officer will help the RF Code of administrative violations. Chapter 12 indicates the variants of punishment. One of them is fine, which makes 500 rubles. Also, the inspector may use the administrative “carrot” as a “warning” in the first such case instead of the financial “stick”.

Overdue Penalty

Similar developments are possible. in the presence of a valid, not expired certificate. Indirectly, this fact can be confirmed with the help of a passport, car insurance and vehicle documents. If these documents are with you, then the chance to convince the DPS officer of his forgetfulness remains, because when the action of rights is over, then the punishment will be at least tenfold.

Is it necessary to renew rights

Most of us are accustomed to the fact that if we are late to pay for any service, then we are punished for it with fines, penalties or some kind of additional forced payments. No similar or other penalties for non-renewal of a driver's license are not provided for by law.

You need to know that expired rights can be renewed at any time.

However, those who are interested in how much you can travel with expired rights should understand that after the date indicated in the column “Valid until”, the document is subject to replacement on a voluntary basis. New rights will take effect from the date specified in the renewed certificate, and not from the date of termination of the old rights.

These types of penalties cannot legally be applied to certain categories of people (pregnant, disabled, etc.). Intangible punishment for this offense is rarely used.

Overdue Punishment

This ends direct punishments, but there may be additional consequences. A driver removed from control must hand over transport control means to another driver legally. This means that in the CTP policy there must be a right to manage a third party.
