What is the penalty now for the lack of sticker spikes. Are the demands of the employees legal? The Spike sign and the new traffic rules: what you need to know From what date the spike sign begins to operate

Calendar winter will come only in two months. And in Noyabrsk, the first snow had already fallen, the ground was frozen, and car owners hurried to tire shops to change their iron horses' shoes. This is the first rule for drivers with the approach of cold weather.

Recall that a sticker with the sign “Spikes” must be pasted on the glass of a car with studded tires, the Neelov portal reports. This rule came into force in April of this year.

Then, in social networks, the Novemberites vigorously discussed the innovation. But the law is the law. To break it is more expensive for yourself. Moreover, traffic police officers daily conduct raids and catch violators. If there is no sticker on the car, get ready to pay a fine of 500 rubles.

Due to the worsening weather conditions, lower temperatures and the formation of black ice, the State Traffic Inspectorate of Noyabrsk urges car owners to take care of their safety and change summer tires to winter ones. This will help avoid an accident during sudden braking, and thanks to the spikes that allow you to stop in a matter of seconds, the driver will not crash into the car in front of him, says traffic police officer Oksana Markina. - And on the glass of the car it is necessary to stick the sign "Spikes". Thus, the driver will warn that the braking distance of his car on slippery asphalt is much less than that of other road users moving on summer tires.

The sign "Spikes" must be in the form of an equilateral triangle of white color with the top up with a red border, in which the letter "SH" is inscribed in black (the side of the triangle is at least 200 mm, the width of the border is 1/10 of the side).

The only requirement for the installation of the sign "Spikes" is given in paragraph 8 of the Basic Provisions, namely, the sign must be installed at the rear of motor vehicles.

So the “Ш” sign can be installed anywhere: on the rear window (inside or outside, and inside only if there is no “tinting”), on the door or trunk lid, on the bumper, on the rear cover of the body, on the awning.

Starting from April 4, 2017, traffic police officers can impose a fine for the absence of the “Spikes” sign under part 1 of Article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses: driving a vehicle in the presence of malfunctions or conditions under which (in accordance with the Basic Provisions for the admission of vehicles to operation), operation vehicle is prohibited, which entails the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred rubles.

We remind you that in accordance with 2.3.1. of the Rules of the Road of the Russian Federation, the driver of the vehicle is obliged to check before leaving and ensure the correct technical condition of the vehicle on the way in accordance with the Basic Provisions for the admission of vehicles for operation and the duties of officials to ensure road safety.

Sign "Spikes", where to install, a fine for the absence of a sign: why do we need tires with spikes?

The Russian winter is a serious test for motorists. If in cities the roadway is most often cleaned, then on federal and regional highways you will not expect such a gift.

In order to increase safety when driving on slippery roads, studded tires are often used, which in emergency situations behave differently than regular ones.

Studded tires are designed to shorten the stopping distance of the car. This is especially true when you lose control of the car on a slippery road. Accordingly, a Spikes sign is required to inform other road users that the car may brake sharply.

It is also necessary to know that the spikes tend to fly out with an increase in the wheel speed and can damage the vehicle coming behind. The Spikes sign warns other drivers to keep their distance.

The Shipy sign is affixed to the rear window so that it can be seen from a distance of 20 meters. Traffic police inspectors advise placing a sticker on the upper (most visible) part of the glass.

The correct sticker is a triangle with a side of 20 cm, surrounded by a red inner contour, in the middle is the letter “Sh” in black on a white background. A label that is too small is equivalent to no sign.

The absence of the Thorns sign entails a fine of 500 rubles (according to the Code of Administrative Offenses, part 1, article 12.5). You may be denied a technical inspection, and an accident in which someone drives your car back will be called mutual.

In contact with

With the onset of the winter period, it is time for drivers to be extra careful on the roads. As a rule, in winter there is a lot of precipitation in the form of snow or rain, and this, after a slight frost, turns the road into a real skating rink. Due to the ice crust, the grip of the wheel rubber of cars with asphalt, concrete or dirt roads is reduced. This impairs the effectiveness of braking, so cars often skid.

Is it obligatory to install the sign "Spikes"

In order to safely drive a motor vehicle in icy conditions, many drivers use anti-collision spikes to equip their vehicles. They control the passage of the car on slippery road gaps. But, such an installation somewhat changes the parameters of the machine. In order for other drivers to be able to navigate and secure their ride on the road, an appropriate sign must be installed on a car with studded tires. A pictogram to warn rear riders is mounted on the rear window.

In practice, less than half of the drivers use this necessary measure and ignore the installation of the "Spike" sign. This is fundamentally wrong. The rules of the road clearly state the mandatory installation of this identification mark..

The law requires mandatory installation, since studded wheels can lead to a traffic accident. How it happens in practice:

• A car with studded tires has a distance covered by the brakes several times less than an equivalently equipped vehicle of the same model, but with standard wheels. If we take into account that the driver on ordinary rubber rides behind and counts on the average braking distance, then a collision may occur if a car with an unmarked studded vehicle suddenly stops abruptly. Even despite the sufficient distance between the vehicle. If a sticker is attached to the car, the driver behind will already foresee possible options and avoid an accident, guided by the necessary and safer distance.

• Studded tires are often of poor quality. Often the spikes fly right out from under the wheels. If several negative factors coincide, such as a rather high speed of a car with a stud, the proximity of another vehicle, the desired trajectory of a stud that has jumped out of the wheel, all this leads to damage to the windows of nearby cars. In addition to the departure of spikes, stones often fly out from under the wheels of a reinforced car, which, in turn, also serve as a source of damage to neighboring vehicles.

All these reasons and there is a need to install a sign that warns drivers, “a modernized car is nearby, be careful!” This designation is designed for visibility from a long distance, about 20 meters. If the car has tinted windows, the “SPIKES” sign should be fixed on the outside of the glass.

There are such “carriers” who ignore legal requirements, not realizing that they will have to pay for their “jambs”. And it's not about the fines.

Imagine a situation in which an accident occurs. A car with ordinary wheels crashed into a fancy car with spikes. If we disassemble the formalities, then he is the culprit of the collision, but if we look at the situation, then he may well go to court against another motorist for carelessness and the absence of a sticker denoting spikes.

Judicial practice shows that in such cases, responsibility is divided in half, and this is a very important point related to vehicle insurance. When settled by the insurance company, drivers repair their cars themselves.

With respect for yourself and others on the road, you will avoid unpleasant collisions that can not only damage the vehicle, but also be a threat to the health and life of people.

Does the absence of a sign affect seasonality?

Spring has come, and you changed your "shoes" on the car, and the sign remained in its place of your AC, this fact is not terrible. It is not an offense. Of course, if the tires were replaced with a summer version, the sign is somewhat inappropriate, the owner of the car decides here whether to remove the warning or not.

Government Decree No. 333 on amendments to the Rules of the Road!

Briefly reviewing the document issued by the government, the situation is as follows:

• Several limited the rights of drivers whose experience is less than two years. They have no right to take other mechanical vehicles for towing with their car. They cannot also transport people on their motorcycle with categories A, A1, and it is forbidden to transport people on a moped regardless of the category.
• Those who are new to the road and have only recently received a license are strictly prohibited from entering the road without a “Beginner Driver” sign so as not to cause an emergency. If the driver nevertheless, despite the ban, entered the roadway without a sign, he may be subject to a fine or administrative liability. It is not necessary to place such a designation only on mopeds, motorcycles, self-propelled machines and tractors. All these necessary measures, according to the government of the Russian Federation, are aimed at reducing the number of accidents on the roads, in which beginners are often to blame.
• The rules of the road prohibit motorcyclists to move on the motorway at a speed of more than 110 km/h, on other roads the speed should not exceed 90 km/h. The changes took place in the maximum speed mode, before the speed was limited everywhere to 90 km / h.

Here, briefly about the changes that were the main ones and made to the traffic rules in the spring of 2017.

Sizes of a sign for self-production

Any driver who has studded their wheels can purchase a badge from an auto shop, but you can also make your own. When making your own, you need to take into account the necessary conditions:

• It must be triangular in shape, in the middle with the letter W written in black on a white background.
• In order for the sign to be visible at a fairly large distance, its parameters must be 20 cm or more. The sides of the figure are equal to each other.
• The red border along the edges of the triangular background is at least 10% of the size of the side length.

There is a special regulation for the manufacture of the sign personally, where the size is specified. It is regulated by traffic rules. A4 cut sheet is ideal for one length of 20 cm.

Making Tips:

If you decide not to engage in "needlework", but to buy a ready-made identification mark, consider the following:

Pictograms in the finished form often do not correspond to the established sizes. If you install a sign that does not meet the requirements, you can get into an unpleasant situation. After all, a small pictogram will not legally count, and you will be fined.

Where to install the sign

Following what is stated in paragraph 8 of the main rules, it can be understood that the main requirement for installing a pictogram is to attach it to the rear of the car, so that everyone who rides behind can clearly see.

There is no other information on this subject. Therefore, each driver can, bypassing his vehicle, think about where the best location of an important alert will be. This can be the rear window on the outer or inner side, some part of the luggage compartment, the rear side of the body, an awning or a bumper. The main thing is that there is enough space for the identification badge and its attachment.

Penalty for the absence of the sign "Sh"

Since April 04, 2017, not having a sticker has become equated to breakdowns or other malfunctions of the vehicle. Considering that if a car has malfunctions or other prohibitive actual conditions for its operation, penalties are imposed, when driving onto the roadway, it means that the absence of a sign is also subject to penalties.

Traffic police officers can be issued according to:

Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, Article 12.5. Driving a vehicle in the presence of malfunctions or conditions under which the operation of vehicles is prohibited, or a vehicle on which the identification mark "Disabled" is illegally installed

1. Driving a vehicle in the presence of malfunctions or conditions under which, in accordance with the Basic Provisions for the admission of vehicles to operation and the duties of officials to ensure road safety, the operation of the vehicle is prohibited, with the exception of malfunctions and conditions specified in parts 2 - 7 of this article,
entails a warning or the imposition of an administrative a fine of five hundred rubles.

Penalties for non-compliant tires

It is clear that as soon as the "re-shoe" of the rubber has occurred, it is immediately necessary to glue the badge. Usually, drivers change wheels according to the weather conditions of their region. Everywhere conditions are different. The legislation provides for a reduction in fines for non-compliance of rubber with the season from five to two thousand rubles and gives the right to the constituent entities of the Russian Federation to determine the seasonality and the number of summer and winter months themselves.

There were several bills that decided which months to limit summer tires. For studded tires, the period was assumed to be from November 1 to March 31. For non-studded wheels, the restriction was generally proposed to be removed. If the draft law was violated, the drivers had to be fined from 1 to 5 thousand rubles. Regional decisions on their own bans were also envisaged here. This policy has caused controversy and controversy.

Now there is a new project that has come into force since 2015, which applies to all countries participating in the Customs Union. Based on this law, it is prohibited to operate a vehicle in the winter period without a complete set of wheels corresponding to the seasons. The ban on studded wheels is in effect from June to August.

At the moment, there is no specific answer to the question, since legislators cannot decide what period of the year which tires should be changed, how much poor drivers should be fined, and meanwhile, each traffic police officer is free to do whatever he pleases and repair his reprisal on the road. You often hear complaints from motorists that they find fault with trifles, they say, they hung a sticker in the wrong place, but outweigh it, again nit-picking and sometimes fines.

One was fined for one thousand rubles, the second for two, is it really so difficult to solve such a simple and obvious question, and finally, to start repairing roads on which you can leave not only spikes, but also wheels.

Passing inspection without the sign "Ш"

The intention to pass the technical inspection with studded wheels without the identification mark "Spikes" will fail. Without it, you should not even try to obtain a permit to operate the vehicle. Since there is a fine for a car malfunction, and the absence of a sign, this is a malfunction, the driver will urgently have to run to the store and purchase a sign.

There is an option to pass inspection on a different rubber. Let's put it down, before checking the readiness of the vehicle for operation, you changed the wheels and put on ordinary winter tires, and for the duration of the inspection, but "the skin is not worth the candle." The sign in the store will cost 100 rubles, and replacing the wheels is much more expensive. So, do not neglect the advice on acquiring this sign, if you are determined to drive in bad weather on studded tires, take care of compliance with traffic laws.

Outcome

A necessity on the roads is mutual respect and mutual concessions. Part of that kind of respect for others is putting an important and warning sticker on the side of your motor vehicle, like the "THORNS" sign. It will help to avoid conflicts on the freeway and negative situations between drivers.

Sha, drivers!

Spikes sign and new traffic rules: what you need to know

Jaromir Romanov/website

From April 4, there are changes in the road rules in Russia that relate to the presence of the “Spikes” sign on cars. Drivers suddenly had to remember about the triangle with a capital letter “Sh”, which, it seems, was not even always talked about in post-Soviet driving schools. There are also a lot of those who drive in our editorial office, so it was also interesting for us to find out the answers to the most important questions on this topic.

What does the sign "Thorns" show?

Not such a strange question as it seems at first glance. It is important to remember: the “Spikes” sign does not just inform other road users that in winter you are using wheel tires equipped with spikes. The sign warns that due to the presence of spikes on the wheels, your braking distance on slippery roads can be much shorter than other drivers think. And, therefore, it makes sense for all of them to literally stay away from you - that is, at an increased distance, so that in the event of your sudden braking, they simply do not crash into your ass.

Also, since studded tires are still available in varying quality, studs coming out from under the wheels of vehicles in front is still a common occurrence. So, fellow travelers behind you should be warned: if they do not want to get a solid object identical to the notorious “pebble” in the windshield, then again they should keep at a more respectful distance.

Is this badge required?

Sverdlovsk UGIBDD has promised not yet to fine motorists for the absence of the sign "Ships"

Yes, it's a must now. By government decree (No. 333 of March 24, 2017), the absence of the “Spikes” sign is included in the number of malfunctions in which the operation of the vehicle is prohibited. Thus, starting from April 4, any traffic inspector who did not find this sign on your car can not only write you a fine of 500 rubles (incriminating you with a violation of clause 12.5 part 1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses - failure to comply with the conditions for ensuring road safety). It has the power to simply forbid you to move on - until the corresponding malfunction is fixed, that is, until you place the missing sign on your rear window.

What other consequences can come in the absence of the sign "Thorns"?

Another possible nuisance can become a "makeweight" to another - when someone crashed into your car from behind. As we have already said, the spike sign warns the person behind you that your stopping distance may be much shorter than theirs. Accordingly, if there is no such warning, then the traffic cop can easily admit mutual guilt, no matter how you poke him and the other culprit of the accident in the book with traffic rules (clause 9.10 on the need to keep a distance). What this means in your further communication with the insurance company, it is probably unnecessary to explain.

What if I have Velcro or is it already summer outside?

If you do not use studded tires, then the presence or absence of the "Spikes" sign does not concern you - at least not yet. It is possible that after some time the legislator will return to this issue at the suggestion of the traffic police. In principle, it will be logical: like spikes, the lip-system on wheels is designed to fight against slipping on a winter road, and therefore shorten your braking distance in case of emergency braking.

(In fact, according to tests, at low temperatures, the braking distance on the "Velcro" is even less than on the spikes, and in this case it is not very clear what the "Spikes" signs should inform other drivers about. But let's leave it to the conscience of the legislator ).

Daria Kozinova/website

Now about the seasonal factor. The only rule you need to know is that the “Spikes” sign on your car must appear in sync with the appearance of studded wheels on it. However, it is worth remembering that the operation of summer tires in Russia is legally prohibited from December to February, as, by the way, riding on spikes from June to August inclusive. The rest of the time is a period that is at the discretion of the driver himself, who must be guided by weather conditions. In addition, the will of the local legislator is provided, which can increase or, conversely, reduce the summer and winter periods by regional law, again based on the climatic conditions of the area. The duration of winter in the Krasnodar Territory and Yamal, you see, is somewhat different.

At the same time, the law does not provide for the responsibility of the driver for the presence of the sign "Spikes" on the rear window in the absence of spikes on his wheels. This means that if you have not removed this sign for the summer period, no one will punish you. So it’s not necessary to suffer and peel it off in order to return it in six months, or even in just a couple of months. We would even strongly recommend everyone to have it, regardless of the season and preferences in the type of winter tires. Who knows, maybe a warning that you are on spikes and you have the appropriate braking distance will save you from unnecessary trouble on the road?

Can I make this badge myself?

The question is not idle, given that now, in the wake of the general excitement, the “Ships” sign has become a real deficit, and its cost sometimes even exceeds the very 500 rubles that will have to be paid for its absence. In some regions, as in the Sverdlovsk region, the leadership of the territorial divisions of the traffic police even met the drivers halfway and announced a temporary moratorium on the application of sanctions for a formal violation.

Practice shows that excitement is a short-lived matter. But if there is no way to endure (you need to drive), and traffic cops in your area turned out to be not so loyal to those who are driving, then it is quite possible to get by with a temporary replacement of the “factory” sign.

Kristina Kormilitsyna/Kommersant

In any case, it is useful to remember that each such product mentioned in the rules has its own GOST or other regulatory described regulations regarding manufacture and use. Here is the “Thorns” - this is a sign in the form of an equilateral triangle of white color with the top up with a red border, into which the letter “Sh” is inscribed in black. The side of the triangle must be at least 200 mm, and the width of the border is 1/10 of the side of the triangle.

A resident of Salekhard sealed the entire rear window of his car with a giant “Sh” sign

It is also important not to forget about the visibility of the sign - after all, you hang it not for yourself, but for other road users. It should be clearly visible from a distance of at least 20 meters, including at night, which should also always be remembered. If the rear window of your car is tinted, then the sign must be glued to the outside.

In general, if you can meet these requirements, then the Internet will help you - there you can find and print an image of a sign of quite acceptable quality. In this sense, it is easier for residents of big cities, where there are a lot of firms, where you can quickly and cheaply make any sign and sticker to order. On the other hand, residents of smaller settlements may not face a rush demand for this rather specific product: it was probably delivered in sufficient quantities to the local Rospechat.

What else is important to know?

The requirement for the presence of the “Spikes” sign on the car applies to all drivers without exception. But the fact is that this is not the only sign that, by the mentioned 333rd government decree, has become mandatory for the admission of vehicles to operation. Starting from April 4, 2017, the car cannot be operated if, depending on the circumstances, it also does not have signs: “Road train”, “Transportation of children”, “Deaf driver”, “Training vehicle”, “Speed ​​limit”, “Dangerous Cargo”, “Oversized Cargo”, “Slow Vehicle”, “Long Vehicle” and “Beginner Driver”.

Valery Titievskiy/RIA Novosti

Most of these signs are special. For example, the sign "Transportation of children" applies only to buses, and "Long-length vehicle" - as a rule, is hung on freight transport. It is important to pay attention to the “Beginner Driver” sticker if your driving experience is less than two years. After checking your rights and not finding the appropriate sign on your car, the traffic cop will fine you and prohibit you from driving further.

On this topic:

: No. 333 of March 24 of this year and No. 326 of March 23. On Tuesday, the documents entered into force.

As Gazeta.Ru already wrote, the innovations mainly affected novice drivers with less than two years of experience. They are now prohibited from towing other motor vehicles. Also, novice drivers of mopeds and motorcycles are prohibited from carrying passengers until they reach two years of experience. In addition, beginners will need to stick the “Beginner Driver” sign on the car window.

For motorcyclists, the speed limit has changed. Now they will be allowed to drive on ordinary roads at speeds up to 90 km / h, and on the motorway, like cars, accelerate to 110 km / h, although before that it was officially not allowed to drive faster than 90 km / h.

This is done so that bikers have a legal opportunity to move at the speed of the main stream of cars, which reduces the risk of an emergency. However, it is worth noting that motorcyclists have not really bothered to observe the speed limit before, preferring to move at their own pace. However, with the advent of complexes for fixing traffic violations on major highways, changing the speed limit is becoming a rather relevant topic for motorcyclists.

Responsibility for the absence of not only the “Beginner Driver” sign on the glass, but also a number of others, including “Spikes”, “Transportation of Children”, “Deaf Driver”, “Student”, “Dangerous Goods” has been tightened.

In all these cases, violators will be fined 500 rubles, and the absence of a sticker will be a reason for a ban on the operation of the vehicle, so it is better for special categories of drivers to prepare in advance for a meeting on the road with employees.

Experts note that the “Sh” sticker informing about studded tires will help other road users, since the properties of such tires in icy conditions or ordinary asphalt are noticeably different from non-studded ones.

According to the plan, the presence of such stickers on cars will help road users to better navigate the road and reduce the number of accidents, and possible sanctions will make their use ubiquitous.

By another government decree, Russians were allowed to apply for a driver's license, change them and receive ready-made documents at multifunctional public service centers. The innovation will help relieve traffic police departments from queues, and drivers will now be able to get the service they need in a place convenient for them.

“In addition, the issue of replacing the Russian national driver's license before its expiration has been clarified. Now, subject to the submission of a valid medical report on their own initiative, you can get a new driver's license with a validity period of 10 years," the Ministry of Internal Affairs said.

Thus, in case of loss of rights, the driver will be able to receive a new document not for the period until the expiration of the previously issued certificate, but for the full period of their validity.

Due to a change in the law from April 04, 2017, this article has lost its relevance. Punishment for the absence of the sign "Spikes", "Beginner Driver", etc. now is a warning or a fine of 500 rubles. Read more about these signs

Increasingly, in public and forums there are similar similar questions like " Today I was fined for not having a Thorns sign. Is it legal?". Indeed, if winter studded cars are installed on the car, then the traffic rules make it mandatory to have the "Spikes" sticker on the back of the car, as stated in the annex to the Rules of the Road in its 8th paragraph. And it sounds for 2020 as follows:

8. The following identification marks must be installed on vehicles:

"Spikes" - in the form of an equilateral triangle of white color with the top up with a red border, into which the letter "SH" is inscribed in black (the side of the triangle is not less than 200 mm, the width of the border is 1/10 of the side) - behind motor vehicles with studded tires;

In general, such a measure is aimed at warning drivers moving behind cars so that they can increase the distance to the car in front of them in order to avoid collision with it in case of emergency braking. By the way, if you don’t have this sign, then you won’t get anything for it - at least there shouldn’t be anything according to the law, since sanctions for the absence of the Spikes sign on the car are simply not provided for by the Code of Administrative Offenses according to the data relevant, including for 2020 - no "November innovations" and no new changes in laws were made during the year. Nevertheless, traffic police officers continue and continue to fine legally illiterate drivers for this sign.

But how do they fine for this, if no sanctions are provided - after all, the decree must indicate an article, which, by the way, determines, among other things, the amount of the fine for the absence of the "Ships" sign ?! It's simple - the inspectors successfully replace another article, passing it off as desirable and legitimate. Let's take a closer look - there is such an article in the Code of Administrative Offenses under the number 12.5, paragraph 1 of which tells us the following:

Article 12.5. Driving a vehicle in the presence of malfunctions or conditions under which the operation of vehicles is prohibited.

1. Driving a vehicle in the presence of malfunctions or conditions under which, in accordance with the Basic Provisions for the admission of vehicles to operation and the duties of officials to ensure road safety, the operation of the vehicle is prohibited, with the exception of malfunctions and conditions specified in parts 2 to 7 of this Article - shall entail a warning or the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred roubles.

We now know what penalty is imposed under what circumstances. Meanwhile, the section of the Rules, where it is indicated about the sign "Spikes", is called " Basic provisions for the admission of vehicles to operation and the obligations of officials to ensure road safety".

But in the traffic rules there is another note, which is called " Application. List of malfunctions and conditions under which the operation of vehicles is prohibited". And, if you carefully read the last three paragraphs, then you probably understood what the catch is here and why you cannot be fined for the absence of the "Thorns" sign.

Let us explain: article 12.5 and its first part refer in their direct text to Note to the Rules of the Road, and therefore applies exclusively to violations of those paragraphs of the traffic rules that are indicated in this Note - in particular, there is a prohibition on driving in the event of a faulty
