Is it allowed to transport people in a trailer in a summer house: answer from traffic rules

Where is it prohibited to transport a person?

If the truck does not have guards and strong seats for passengers, then transporting people is impossible. Taking into account the Code of Administrative Offenses, it is worth noting that there is no article that will regulate the amount of the fine. Charges may be brought under Article 12.23.

If you take into account its provisions, you will be able to obtain a protocol only if people can be outside the vehicle. This may include space in a cargo trailer, car or motorcycle sidecar. If people and their large items are transported incorrectly, a fine of 1,000 rubles will be imposed on the driver.

How the traffic police inspector will punish for an extra passenger

The need to transport everyone who wants to travel often pushes drivers to put more people in the car than can be accommodated. They will be punished regardless of what kind of transport they use. It is imposed under Article 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offences.

By car

Sanctions for excess passengers can be applied in two cases:

There are more of them in the cabin than required according to the characteristics of the vehicle. Section 1 of the above article applies here, that is, the inspector will issue a fine of 500 rubles.
One or more people are outside the salon in violation of the rules. Sometimes traffic police officers find them in the trunk or other places where there are no appropriate conditions. In this case, Section 2 of Article 12.23 applies:

Transporting people outside the cabin of a car (except for cases permitted by the Road Traffic Rules), tractors, other self-propelled vehicles, on a cargo trailer, in a caravan trailer, in the back of a cargo motorcycle or outside the seating areas provided for by the design of the motorcycle shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of one thousand rubles.

If both parts of the law are violated, then the fines are not absorbed, but summed up. That is, the driver will pay 1500 rubles. There is one positive point in the situation - the size of the fine does not increase depending on the number of excess passengers.

On a motorcycle

If transporting an extra person in a comfortable car can be somehow understood, then in the situation with a motorcycle everything is more serious and dangerous. Therefore, punishment for this offense is imposed under Part 2 of Article 12.23. This is a fine of 1000 rubles.

The same applies to drivers who put a person in the back of a cargo motorcycle. If there are several passengers, the payment amount remains fixed.

By minibus

An excessive number of people on a minibus is punishable under the same article 12.23. But there may be nuances here:

if there are one or more extra adults in the cabin, the driver will pay 500 rubles. under part 1 of the article;
if it is a child, the fine for him rises to 3,000 rubles, for an official – up to 25,000 rubles, and the legal department will pay 100,000 rubles. in accordance with section 3 of article 12.23 of the Administrative Code.

The last point is applied quite justifiably. After all, if a child does not have enough space in the minibus, there is no restraining device for him during transportation. And this is a direct violation of the rules, exposing the life of a little person to increased danger.

If they are bringing children

The requirements for transporting young citizens are even more stringent than for adults. Therefore, the punishment is much more severe:

fine 3000 rub. for the driver, 25,000 rub. for an official, up to 100,000 rubles. for legal purposes, if children are transported contrary to the rules (part 3 of article 12.23);
the same sanctions for violations during an organized trip (section 4 of article 12.23);
5000 rub. from the driver or deprivation of driving license for 4 - 6 months, 50,000 rubles. from an official, 200,000 rubles. from legal (part 5 of article 12.23).

The last section of the law also provides for substantial amounts of payments:

Violation of the requirements for the transportation of children established by the Rules for the organized transportation of a group of children by bus, with the exception of cases provided for in parts 4 and 5 of this article, entails the imposition of an administrative fine on officials in the amount of twenty-five thousand rubles; for legal entities - one hundred thousand rubles.

Fine for carrying 5 passengers

A fine for transporting 5 passengers in a car is imposed if the vehicle is designed for 4 or fewer people, according to Part 1 of Article 12.23:

Violation of the rules for transporting people, with the exception of cases provided for in parts 2 - 6 of this article, entails the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred rubles.

And another sanction may await for the fact that the extra passenger is not wearing a seat belt. This is 1000 rubles. under Article 12.6 of the Code of Administrative Offences.

Penalty for overloading passengers

A fine for overloading passengers in a car can also be imposed only under Article 12.23 - 500 rubles, if there are extra passengers among them. But if the total number of people corresponds to the number of seats, there should be no punishment. Moreover, Article 12.21 is not applicable here. After all, it concerns only cargo, but not people.

Fine for transporting people in a cargo van

A fine for transporting people in a cargo van that is not suitable for this purpose is imposed under Part 2 of Article 12.23:

Transporting people outside the cabin of a car (except for cases permitted by the Road Traffic Rules), tractors, other self-propelled vehicles, on a cargo trailer, in a caravan trailer, in the back of a cargo motorcycle or outside the seating areas provided for by the design of the motorcycle shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of one thousand rubles.

But if we are talking about those accompanying the property for whom the seats are equipped, the sanction is not applied. In this case there should be no more than two people, and the same number of chairs.

Fine for transporting people in the trunk

A fine for transporting people in a trunk intended for another purpose is also imposed under Part 2 of Article 12.23, that is, the driver will pay 1000 rubles. He is also awaiting trial as to whether the person ended up in this compartment of his own free will. And if it turns out that it is not, a criminal article is also applied.

Fine for standing passengers in a minibus

The fine from the driver for standing passengers found in a minibus will be 500 rubles. Part 1 of Article 12.23 applies here, and not part 2, because people are inside the car, not outside it. But this is still a violation, since according to the rules there are no standing places in the minibus. This is not possible due to its technical characteristics.

Fine for transporting people in the back of a Gazelle

The fine for transporting people in the back of a Gazelle that is not equipped for this purpose is 500 rubles. Part 2 of Article 12.23 of the Administrative Code applies here. If there are seats in the back for accompanying cargo, they may be there. The driver should not be punished for the presence of employees. It will also be possible to avoid sanctions if the car is completely converted for passengers, and the driver has a license category C or D. But you can only carry adults, not children.

Fine for illegally transporting passengers

For those who professionally transport people, stricter sanctions are possible for violations. One of them is illegal transportation, that is, the lack of permission for this type of activity. The punishment for it is regulated by section 2.1 of article 12.3 of the Code of Administrative Offences. The driver will have to pay 5,000 rubles for the absence of a document.

Fine for incorrect transportation of passengers

A driver is fined for incorrectly transporting passengers in accordance with

from Article 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offences. For general violations, Part 1 is used, this is 500 rubles. in favor of the state.

This section of the law applies in the vast majority of cases when it comes to personal cars. For example, if the number of people in the cabin exceeds the number of seats intended for them. That is, the fine for transporting passengers without a seat is 500 rubles.

Improper transportation of people also means failure to use seat belts. For the fact that the passenger did not wear a seat belt, he will be punished not only under Part 1 of Article 12.29 of the Code of Administrative Offenses with a fine of 500 rubles, but also the driver. The latter faces the application of Article 12.6 of the Code, that is, payment of 1000 rubles. The fine for improperly transporting passengers on a motorcycle will be similar. The sanction will be applied to the bike driver if they are not wearing protective helmets.

There is also a fine for a passenger in the trunk - 1000 rubles. It is imposed under Part 2 of Article 12.23 of the Administrative Code.

Punishment for transporting people in the back

Putting passengers in the back of a car if it is not designed for this is even more dangerous than cramming the cabin or interior with them. And therefore the punishment for this is provided for under Part 2 of Article 12.23. This is a fine of 1000 rubles. It doesn't grow because of the number of people in the back. But this does not eliminate the need to install seats there.

Transporting people in the back of a pickup truck

Transporting people in the back of a pickup truck intended for cargo is also a violation and will result in punishment for the driver under Part 2 of Article 12.23 of the Code. It is possible if:

install and firmly fix chairs or benches at a distance of 30-50 cm from the floor;
make sides at least 30 cm high from the seats;
provide communication between passengers and the driver using a button that sounds an audible signal;
arrange an awning and lighting for the people being transported.

Driving such vehicles is only permitted with category C or D. All technical changes must be approved by experts and registered with the traffic police.

Passenger car for transporting passengers

A passenger car designed for transporting passengers can be used for personal purposes or as a taxi, but the rules for operating the car are largely similar:

the number of people should not be greater than the number of seats;
for children under 12 years of age, a special restraint device corresponding to the dimensions of the young passenger is required;
Every person must wear a seat belt, including the driver;
There is a special compartment for luggage; you cannot take bulky contents into the cabin;
the previous requirement does not apply to hand luggage;
the trunk, despite the presence of contents in it, must be closed;
You can take a pet carrier into a taxi, but install it so as not to interfere with the driver’s view of the road in the rear-view mirrors.

In a passenger taxi, the rules for transporting people, as well as the contact information of the driver and the company, must be posted in a visible place.
