When is there a penalty for driving a car without license plates?

How much is the fine for driving without license plates in 2021?

5,000 rubles. It is provided for in Part 2 of Article 12.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. But the subtlety is that according to the same standard of punishment for driving without registration marks, deprivation of rights for up to 3 months can be provided.

2. Driving a vehicle without state registration plates... entails an administrative fine in the amount of five thousand rubles or deprivation of the right to drive vehicles for a period of one to three months.

But the punishment for driving a car without license plates is not imposed by the road inspector - he is not authorized to do so. Prosecution occurs as follows:

A traffic police officer stops you on the road, noticing from afar that you are driving without license plates,
draws up a protocol regarding you as a driver, gives it to you for signature and then transfers the case materials to your boss (clause 5 of part 2 of article 23.3 of the Administrative Code),
Having received the case, the head of the traffic police decides whether to impose a fine on the driver or transfer the case to court for deprivation - in the first case, the police officer himself issues a decision with a fine of 5 thousand rubles; and in the second, he transfers the case to the magistrate’s court at the place where the violation was committed, since the traffic police cannot deprive rights on their own,
Having received constantly traveling case materials, the judge decides whether to fine the motorist for driving without a license plate or deprive him of his rights.

A little later we will talk about what affects a specific punishment: deprivation or a fine for driving without registration plates according to judicial practice in 2021.

Is there a discount?

Yes, the fine for driving without license plates can be paid with a 50% discount in the first 20 days after the decision is issued, that is:

within 20 days after the head of the traffic police reviews the case and issues a decision with a fine,
after the judge makes the appropriate decision, if the first one sends the case to court.

Please note, do not confuse the date of issuance of the fine and the entry into force of the resolution - these are different dates, and despite the fact that in most terms the legislation of 2021 operates precisely on the date of entry into force, with a discount there is an exception to this rule.

But about what to do if the letter with the fine arrived too late and you found out that you were given a fine for driving without a license plate after 20 days, we wrote a special article about missing this deadline.

Without rear license plate

Separately, the punishment for the absence of a rear GRZ should be considered. In general, Article 12.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses refers to numbers in the plural - that is, it does not see the difference whether you are missing one number or both. The same thing happens in practice. Do you like to drive without license plates? Will you receive imprisonment or a fine? How much will the last one be? No, not half of 5,000 rubles, as might seem logical if you are driving without one rear license plate, but the same 5 thousand. This is what judicial practice says (paragraph 4 of the Resolution of the Plenum No. 20 of June 25, 2019):

When considering cases of administrative offenses provided for in Part 2 of Article 12.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to take into account that the objective side of this administrative offense, in particular, is formed by the actions of a person driving a vehicle without state registration plates (including without one of them) ...

Another thing is that an inspector on the road will be less likely to detect a missing rear license plate than a front license plate. Therefore, the risk of running into a fine is lower.

Without front

Another thing is driving without a front number plate. Regardless of the reason for his absence, the same fine of 5 thousand will be issued, or the driver will be imprisoned for 1-3 months.

And the absence of a front registration plate is much easier to identify - such a car can be seen from afar.

Can they write me off on camera?

Of course not. It’s easy to guess that photo and video cameras on Russian roads identify vehicles by license plates. And if they are obviously absent, then how will the camera be able to recognize who to issue a fine to?!

You can argue that, for example, if a driver passes 2 fixation complexes: one removes the car from the back, and the other from the front, but only one license plate is missing, then theoretically a fine can be issued. Technically, yes, but the most that auto-fixing systems have learned to do in 2021 is measure the average speed. And then, at the same time, Avtodoriya cameras work in pairs, filming the car in one direction - either the front or the rear.

If the car is used at a wedding?

This is a fairly common practice. A sign “groom”, “bride”, “witnesses” and the like is hung at the place where the license plate is installed.

This is also illegal; there are no exceptions in the legislation today for weddings, anniversaries and other events.

What are the dangers of driving without license plates?

Driving a car with license plates is mandatory. This is indicated in paragraph 2 of the Basic Provisions of the Traffic Regulations. This law sounds like this: any motor vehicle must be equipped with registration numbers of the appropriate type.

If they are not there, the owner of this vehicle will be punished in accordance with Part 2 of Art. 12.2 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

The driver of a vehicle that does not have state registration plates, or has license plates installed in a place not intended for this purpose, or installed using materials that complicate their identification, will be required to pay an administrative fine of 5,000 rubles or will be deprived of a driver’s license for 1-3 month.

Sometimes force majeure situations happen when license plates are stolen or they break off and fall while driving. It is important to note that by law you can be fined for a missing number if you installed it incorrectly. The rules for installing state license plates are established by GOST R 50-577-93.

For the absence of one license plate, part 2 of Art. 12.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation provides for a fine of 5,000 rubles or deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle.

For the absence of two signs, similar sanctions are provided. The more precise punishment is determined by the court. Therefore, to prevent such a situation, regularly check that your license plates are in place.

Riding a motorcycle without license plates

In the spring, a large number of car owners are thinking about switching to a motorcycle. An obvious advantage of such a vehicle is its dimensions. You can easily drive through traffic jams on a motorcycle.

An unregistered motorcycle has especially many advantages. So, you will not be recorded by cameras if you violate the speed limit, you will not have to pay transport tax, etc. However, it is good to ride in such a vehicle until you are detained by the traffic police.

The terms for registering a motorcycle are similar to the terms for a car and are equal to 10 days. If the vehicle registration is carried out in violation of the rules of this procedure, a fine will be imposed in accordance with Parts 1 and 1.1 of Art. 12.1 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

A motorcycle that is not registered will not have license plates, which means that riding it will be punishable in accordance with Part 2 of Art. 12.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (provides for an administrative fine or deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle).

Another common driving trick is driving with license plates belonging to another vehicle. The law also includes driving with false license plates here, combining all these cases into a violation for driving with false license plates.

Drivers resort to this trick when they need to drive a new car that does not yet have license plates, attaching license plates from the previous car.

Many people mistakenly believe that paying a fine for an unregistered car with the concomitant constant re-issuance of the purchase and sale agreement and ordering the wrong license plates with the thought “whatever happens” is simpler and cheaper.

However, it is not. As in the case of an unregistered motorcycle, everything is cheap and convenient until the moment you are caught by traffic police inspectors. If this happens, you will have to pay for all violations, and there will be many of them.

Sanctions for driving with false license plates are established in Part 3 of Art. 12.2 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. Deliberately installing counterfeit state registration plates on a vehicle is fraught with the imposition of an administrative fine. Its size is 2,000 – 5,000 rubles for individuals.

Officials responsible for the operation of vehicles will have to pay much more, namely 15,000 - 20,000 rubles. For legal entities, a fine of 400,000 to 500,000 rubles is provided.

It is important to understand that the fine will begin to ripen from the moment you install fake license plates on your vehicle. And if you dare to go out on the road with such license plates, the likelihood that you will be severely punished will increase to the limit.

Part 4 of Article 12.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation states that driving a car with fake license plates will result in the deprivation of a driver’s license for its owner for 6-12 months.

There is no license plate because there is no bumper - what is the fine?

Same. The fact is that the traffic police officer is not at all concerned about the reason why you are driving without license plates. It has traffic regulations that stipulate that they must be installed in designated places. And the logic here is primitive: if there is no license plate in the designated place, you will receive a fine of 5,000!

By the way, you can’t drive without a bumper according to the same traffic rules. True, the fine for this is less - only 500 rubles under Part 1 of Article 12.5 of the Administrative Code.

Therefore, we strongly recommend that even if there is no bumper, you secure the number so that it is installed approximately in the place where it would be on the bumper. Although, formally, there is also a violation here that falls within the scope of the rule of deprivation of rights or a fine for driving without license plates, in practice this method will help to avoid a fine in almost all cases.

Expert opinion

According to clause 12.2 of Appendix No. 8 of the technical regulations on the safety of wheeled vehicles, registration plates must be placed in places provided for by the design of the vehicle. Specific requirements are given in Section 4 of Appendix No. 7. If, for example, the intended location for the design is a bumper, and it falls off, then there is no place to install a registration plate.

Then attach the sign in accordance with Section 4 of Appendix No. 7. There is only one requirement for the front sign: it must be fixed vertically. Nothing is said about the location of the sign along the axis of symmetry, to the right or to the left. The rear registration plate must be installed along the axis of symmetry of the vehicle, but it is allowed to install the sign to the left of the axis of symmetry of the vehicle in the direction of movement of the vehicle.

To be fair, according to GOST 50577-2018, if the front number plate cannot be secured along the axis of the vehicle, then it should be attached to the left in the direction of travel of the vehicle.

Ask a Question

Can it be mounted under glass?

No. You cannot install a license plate number either under the windshield or under the rear window - this will be equivalent to driving without a license plate with all the ensuing consequences. This is what the judicial practice of 2021 prescribes in the form of PPVS No. 20:

When considering cases of administrative offenses provided for in Part 2 of Article 12.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to take into account that the objective side of this administrative offense, in particular, is formed by the actions of a person driving a vehicle: in the presence of state registration plates installed in violation of the requirements of the state standard for places not provided for by the design of the vehicle (including only one of them).

Driving without one number

On 10/29/2014, the procedure for insuring a truck under the MTPL policy was carried out in Irkutsk. When insuring a car, insurance agent Tatyana Yuryevna Aleshkina insisted on an additional life insurance policy, arguing that this was a mandatory and necessary condition without which it would not be possible to conclude a compulsory motor liability insurance policy. The life insurance policy was imposed in addition to the MTPL policy, which is a direct violation of the Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights and the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, as well as in accordance with clause 14 of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of May 7, 2003 N 263 On approval of the Rules for compulsory insurance of civil liability of vehicle owners : The insurer has no right to refuse to conclude a compulsory insurance contract to the owner of a vehicle who has applied to him with an application to conclude a compulsory insurance contract and has submitted documents in accordance with these Rules.

According to Part 2 of Article 16 of the Federal Law of the Russian Federation On the Protection of Consumer Rights: It is prohibited to condition the purchase of some goods (works, services) on the mandatory purchase of other goods (works, services). Losses caused to the consumer as a result of violation of his right to free choice of goods (work, services) are reimbursed by the seller (performer) in full.

According to Part 2 of Art. 935 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation Compulsory insurance: The obligation to insure one’s life or health cannot be assigned to a citizen by law.

According to Part 2 of Article 14.8 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation: Inclusion in a contract of conditions that infringe upon the consumer’s rights established by law shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine on officials in the amount of one thousand to two thousand rubles; for legal entities - from ten thousand to twenty thousand rubles. In addition, when issuing an MTPL policy, discounts for accident-free driving for the period 01/01/2005 - 10/29/2014 were not taken into account, which is also a violation of the civil rights of the insured.

When calling the Rosgosstrakh office in Irkutsk at 83952-210107 with a request to clarify the situation, specialist Natalya explained that the insurance agent could not impose an additional policy, that we were wrong and were stipulating it. And since the insurance contract has been concluded, you need to calm down and not be nervous. Natalya also explained that they cannot simply impose a life insurance contract, this is an exclusively voluntary procedure. However, how then can we explain the situation that this is already the second imposed life insurance policy, issued for the same policyholder under the same conditions when issuing an MTPL policy for the period 06/01/2014-10/29/2014. Why would the same citizen simply voluntarily insure himself a second time under the same conditions and for the same period of time?

In addition, the situation with truck insurance in Irkutsk is unclear. All other insurance agents flatly refuse to insure trucks under the MTPL policy, citing an incomprehensible new law according to which in Irkutsk only ROSGOSSTRAKH has the right to provide this type of insurance, which is undoubtedly a direct violation of existing antimonopoly trends.

I ask you to look into this situation, since it is not clear what is the prerogative of the insurer-policyholder relationship. Based on the Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights and the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the client - the policyholder should be placed in a more advantageous position, especially since this situation is a regular transaction for concluding an MTPL insurance contract without any special conditions. However, in reality, the insurer, in this case ROSGOSSTRAKH, puts pressure on the policyholder and imposes on him additional conditions unfavorable for the policyholder without the opportunity to refuse.

R.S. 01/11/2014 another procedure was carried out for concluding an MTPL policy for another truck. The situation repeated itself again. A third life and health insurance policy was taken out under the same insured. Without this life insurance policy, the insurance agent categorically refused to issue an MTPL policy. Since it is not possible to change the company, due to the incomprehensible existing provision on insurance of trucks in Irkutsk only by the Rosgosstrakh company, and travel is necessary, the Rosgosstrakh company for the period 01.06.2014-01.11.2014 forcibly imposed three unnecessary insurance policies on the amount of exceeding three thousand rubles

Don’t you think that this is a direct violation of the rights of the policyholder, as well as the law (conclusion of a standard life insurance contract for the same policyholder, for the same period of time) and a clear extortion of funds.

I was caught without license plates: will I be fined or deprived of my license?

This will depend on a number of circumstances. But the main thing is that you have received traffic fines for the last year and even a slightly longer period, including paid ones.

The presence of previously imposed fines is a kind of aggravating circumstance that most often plays against the driver, since many motorists have such decisions.

The Supreme Court in its Resolution indicated (paragraph 22) that in the presence of homogeneous violations, one should be guided by the punishment of the person against whom the case is being conducted. And this exposure is calculated for a period of 1 year after full payment of the fine.

At the same time, violations from the same area of legislation are considered homogeneous. In our case, driving without license plates will be a homogeneous violation of traffic rules, which entails punishment under the entire 12th chapter of the Code, including speeding, not allowing a pedestrian to pass, a seat belt, prohibited overtaking and other traffic police fines.

Thus, if you have previously issued fines, even if they have been paid, you may be subject to deprivation of your license for driving without a license plate. In this case, as we already mentioned above, first the head of the traffic police will send the case materials to the court on this basis, and then the judge will decide on a fine or imprisonment for up to 3 months.

But there are also special mitigating and aggravating circumstances, which are listed, respectively, in Articles 4.2 and 4.3 of the Code of Administrative Offences.

How to avoid responsibility?

Obviously, it is necessary to put a license plate on the car. But this is only possible if you deliberately drive without registration signs, in order, for example, to hide from traffic police fines.

In other cases, there are certain reasons for movement without a road protection device.

If you simply lost one front or rear license plate, then, unfortunately, the only option to avoid a fine and deprivation for this is not to drive this car to get a duplicate of the others. Please note that you do not need to register with the traffic police to receive a duplicate, nor do you need to show the car itself for inspection. This is done at special points for the production of registration plates, and for this you need your passport and vehicle registration certificate.
If you are driving a new car and have not yet received license plates for it, then in the first 10 days from the date in the purchase and sale agreement you have every right to drive without registration plates. Although, some traffic police inspectors think differently. We will discuss this issue in more detail below.
If you don’t have a bumper on your car, and there’s simply nowhere to hang the number, then... you still need to install it approximately in the place where it should be.

If you are involved in an accident in which you lose your registration plate, then you are prohibited from moving further to the parking lot. In this case, even if your car was not seriously damaged in the accident, you will need to use a tow truck.

You can, of course, continue driving, but for this you can get a fine or lose your driver's license. And, if you can then recover the cost of the tow truck from the culprit of the accident or his insurance company under compulsory motor liability insurance, then no one will pay you the fine and will not return the vehicle.

Ask a Question

Re-registration of a car to another owner in 2021

The legislation regulates the time frame in 2021. The new owner is required to register the car within 10 days from the date of signing the car purchase and sale agreement.

What to do in case of delay?

If for some reason the new owner missed the deadline for contacting the traffic police and the car was not registered, a fine will be collected from him.

Depending on the category of the owner in 2021, the following amounts of sanctions are established:

Individuals – 1,500 rubles and more.
Legal – from 5,000.

In 2021, two types of fines are provided for motorists: for exceeding the deadlines allotted for registering a vehicle, as well as for driving an unregistered car.

When stopped, the traffic police officer will draw up two protocols at once.

After the penalty is determined, the finer is given a period to deposit the required amount of funds. If this is not done, the amount of sanctions will double.

Having paid all penalties, the car owner must register the purchased vehicle. Taking into account the payment of all fines, the cost of registration will increase several times.

Russian legislation provides that the parties can request termination of the purchase and sale agreement within 3 years from the date of signing. However, with a car the situation is more complicated. The longer the buyer uses the vehicle, the less likely it is to prove that he himself was not the cause of the breakdown. Therefore, if significant shortcomings are discovered in 2021, it is necessary to immediately begin the procedure for terminating the agreements. The chances of a positive outcome in such cases will be high.

To avoid having to return the vehicle due to a lawsuit before signing the purchase and sale agreement in 2021, the buyer must:

Check that the technical characteristics comply with the declared ones. It is best to order an independent assessment from an expert at a service station.
Find out if the car is being used as collateral. On special resources, a check is carried out using the vehicle identification number.
The purchase and sale agreement must carefully describe all the characteristics and obligations of the parties. You can involve a competent lawyer in drawing up the contract.

Compliance with all recommendations will help you complete the transaction in a short time, avoid litigation and returns.

When the owner of a car changes, current legislation provides for the ability to drive for 10 days without license plates. This is exactly the period provided for registering a vehicle, that is, for registration.

It is worth noting that used cars are now sold only with state license plates. Along with this, situations of car exchange (an exchange agreement is used) as well as donation of a car can also be considered here.

In general, all these options represent a convenient opportunity to register license plates and ultimately drive with license plates.

buying a car without license plates and registration;
resale to another owner;
purchase from this owner.

However, it is worth noting the scheme for using a ten-day period:

We would like to draw your attention to the fact that we in no way promote this method of driving without license plates and also point out that not only you, but also the traffic police officers, of course, know about this option.

To do this, you need to report the loss of transport. The reason is not particularly important, for example, they simply lost the car or forgot where they left it.

After this, a PTS remains, where a mark is placed about the loss and deregistration of the car, it (the car) remains without a license plate, but after that there is still the possibility of resale of the car to another owner.

The hypothetical situation looks like they found the car again and resold it to someone else before the new registration, which is actually not prohibited. This again gives rise to a ten-day period for registration and again the opportunity to run through the scheme with resale.

After purchasing a car, the owner will have to go through the procedure of registering the vehicle. And accordingly, the question arises: “How long can you drive a car without license plates?”, so to speak, without a registration plate.

For owners of used cars who have just made a purchase in 2021, the same timing remains - 10 days for registration at the driver’s place of residence. You can drive without license plates at all and be sure to have documents with you confirming the start of this period and the date of the purchase and sale transaction.

But for showroom cars, from January 1, 2021, an innovation prohibiting driving without registration plates came into force. According to the new rules, license plates on vehicles will be installed directly on the site of the car dealer.

In order for a retailer to be allowed to register a car, it must be properly certified and have the status of a specialized organization.

The scheme for obtaining license plates has now been simplified for the Buyer of a new car. The car dealer himself submits registration documents to the State Traffic Inspectorate, where the car is assigned an individual alphanumeric number. The metal plates themselves are manufactured by the Seller at his own expense.

Without these procedures, the sale of new vehicles to Buyers is impossible. Let us dwell on one more frequently occurring moment.

The reason for the loss of one or two license plates on a vehicle may be:

Damage or wear of fasteners.
Theft.
Bad weather conditions.
The accident that occurred.

Further movement in such a car is equivalent to driving without license plates and is punishable according to the Code of Administrative Offenses by a certain fine.

The period of driving even after you file a statement about the loss of license plates is limited and only allows for the time necessary to get to your place of residence.

The owner of the car has the opportunity to avoid monetary penalties if he immediately files a police report after losing the license plates. If the license plates were stolen, then such a situation is blamed on the owner of the vehicle and involves the imposition of a fine on him in accordance with the administrative code of the Russian Federation.

It is important to take into account the following - paragraph 3 of Article 8 clearly states that the owner must register the vehicle within 10 days. But in the new adopted law there is no specifically stated phrase about the prohibition of operating the car during this period. Therefore, when stopping a new car without license plates, knowledgeable drivers do not even worry about the possibility of receiving an administrative penalty.

Driving a vehicle without state registration plates, as well as driving a vehicle without state registration plates installed in the places provided for this, or driving a vehicle with state registration plates equipped with the use of materials that prevent or complicate their identification, shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five thousand rubles or deprivation of the right to drive vehicles for a period of one to three months.

Movement with a missing GRNZ is recorded by the inspector who issues a decision on the violation. Next, the information enters the traffic police information system and is reflected in the fines database, which the motorist can check through the inspection website or government services. But drivers are often faced with a situation where they have a regulation on driving without a license plate, but checking the fine database does not show a violation. If there is no fine on the traffic police website, but there is a resolution, what should you do?

The Supreme Court punished the driver for driving for a long time in an unregistered car. Moreover, the existence of a purchase and sale agreement was not taken into account. It turned out that it had been regularly updated for several years. Father and son entered into a purchase and sale agreement.

After purchasing a new car, every driver is filled with positive emotions. When purchasing a car, a person is responsible for the lives of pedestrians, other drivers and for the condition of his vehicle, both from the technical and documentary side. In order to be able to drive it faster, without breaking the rules and with a clear conscience, the owner must go through the registration procedure. It entails administrative responsibility. Therefore, every car owner is interested in how long he can drive without license plates in a new car. With its help, they keep records of cars, motorcycles, trailers and other automotive equipment. By law, when purchasing a car, the driver is required to go through the registration procedure and receive license plates within 10 days.

The same applies for the absence of both numbers. The punishment is determined by the court. To avoid trouble, you should check for license plates every time you drive your car or during stops.

If the car is parked or parked?

And in this case, there is no violation in 2021. Under Part 2 of Article 12.2, driving without registration plates is punishable. But the mere fact of lack of license plates does not entail any punishment.

But please note that the exception to non-punished parking without a state license is paid parking in Moscow. They can take any car to an impound lot if it is parked without at least one front or rear license plate.

If the numbers are not on the trailer?

A trailer is the same vehicle and is subject to registration with the traffic police. Therefore, it needs its own registration plates with its own alphanumeric designation. According to the rules, one GRZ is installed only at the rear of the trailer.

Therefore, for driving a car with a trailer without license plates, even if they are on the leading car itself, the same sanction is provided in the form of a fine of 5,000 rubles or deprivation of rights for up to 3 months under Part 2 of Article 12.2 of the Administrative Code.

Something else useful for you:

Traffic police cameras in Largus - how legal are they and what violations are they caught for?
Rooms are covered in snow - fine or deprivation? The inspector threatens to revoke your rights
Tilting JDM frames for license plates - what is the punishment (fine, imprisonment)?

What time is it allowed to drive without license plates?

After new rules were introduced several years ago, or more precisely, the Administrative Regulations, the number of traffic violations related to state signs dropped noticeably. For example, if you purchase a used car, then its current license plates may remain with the car and be registered in your name, for which it is enough to register the car. Without registration, you can travel for 10 days, but if you violate this period, you will be fined.

The established 10-day period is also relevant when purchasing a new car. However, the new car will not have license plates, so they will be issued only upon registration. The best option would be to go to the MREO immediately on the day of purchasing the vehicle, but this is not always possible. Hence the question arises: “Is it possible to drive without license plates in a new car?”

The answer is simple - yes, you can, but only within the same 10 days. If the deadline is violated and you are caught by traffic police inspectors, you will definitely be punished.

Fine for driving without a license plate

The Traffic Regulations, or more precisely the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, regulates the consequences for drivers for driving without license plates, classifying them as administrative. If you do not install license plates on it within 10 days after purchasing the vehicle, you will face:

a fine of 5,000 rubles;
or withdrawal of rights for a period of 1 to 3 months.

Summing up the information, we conclude that it is possible to drive without license plates after concluding a policy, but only for 10 days. During this period, you must carry with you all the documents for the car that you have, including the DCP - this will be required to prove ownership. However, the easiest way is to immediately register the car and drive it safely from the first day.

What other penalties are there for registration marks?

There are quite a lot of them, but they are all listed in the same article 12.2 of the Administrative Code.
Let's look at them! Other fines for license plates in 2021

Part of Article 12.2	Violation	How much is the fine?
1	If the license plate number is not readable from 20 meters due to dirt or abrasion (both license plates during the day or only the rear one at night) or due to violation of the installation of license plates (except for the violations listed below)	500 rubles
2	Modified registration plates equipped with “curtains” or other devices to hide them, driving without license plates or with a license plate under the windshield instead of the proper place	5 thousand or deprivation for 1-3 months
3	Installing (not to be confused with driving) false registration plates	2,500 rubles
4	Driving with fake GRZs	Deprivation of rights for six months to a year
