January 27, 2020

Today there is a lot of talk about the new recently adopted law, which provides for penalties for car tuning. This topic worries almost everyone, since car tuning, essentially, actively used by a huge number of drivers. Even if you forget about those, who makes adjustments to the design of the car only, to stand out and become “not like that, like everyone else », there are a number of categories of citizens, for which this is a necessary measure.

This is true for such regions, as the Far East, Kamchatka, Sakhalin, etc.. In those places, quality roads are an impossible dream, so standard cars for driving are simply not suitable. It is necessary to remake the suspension, install large diameter discs, kangaroos, winches, etc.. Otherwise, there is a danger of getting stuck with a car breakdown in an impassable thicket, where does not catch mobile, and there is no one to expect help from.

Amateur motorsports are also outlawed - these are various themed car shows, race, exhibitions of tuned cars. Entire companies are left without work, who specialize in making various "chips", many garages of this profile, etc..

What caused the adoption of the law

Ban on car tuning 2016 year was adopted in connection with the strengthening of measures to combat dangerous driving. This has recently been often reported in periodicals and televised - the growing number of street racers has been the starting point in initiating this initiative.

According to the law, adopted in 2016 year, all machines with non-standard equipment, which has passed certification, are outlawed. According to the traffic police, they also create a high probability of road accidents.

This is primarily due to the fact, that recently the installation of alternative optics on cars is very popular, which often does not meet standard requirements.

TNow during the inspection the approach to this issue will be specific - all the extra will have to be removed, bring the rest to normal:

  • The headlights must be white;
  • Turn signals are yellow;
  • The position lights in front are white;
  • The position lights behind are red;
  • Feet - red;
  • Reversing indicators are white;
  • WTF front - yellow or white;
  • WTF behind - red.

Tinting and before the adoption of the new law was regulated very strictly - traffic police officers have always disapproved of any darkening of the windows. After all, despite all the obvious advantages of toning, the danger on the road increases significantly. Therefore, there is nothing new - the light transmission of glass in vehicles should be greater 75%, side windows - more 70%.

And at the same time the authorities decided to "hit" on other unauthorized changes - cars with such according to the law must pass the certification procedure and obtain the appropriate new operating permit, or the driver must bring everything back to normal.

List of car elements, which you are not allowed to change

New tuning law, which was adopted this year, gives a list of those parts of the car, which are not allowed to be processed without the appropriate permission. You can be sure, that it is quite significant and leaves almost no room for improvement and creative experimentation:

  • Driver and passenger seats;
  • pendant;
  • bumper;
  • The steering wheel and its entire system;
  • Exhaust elements;
  • flaps;
  • Outdoor lights;

  • External sources of additional light;
  • Wheel spacers;
  • Upper trunk;
  • Non-standard colors of halogen lamps;
  • Xenon lights;
  • Processing of thresholds;
  • Gas equipment;
  • Wheel arches of non-standard design;
  • kangaroos;

  • Advertising screens;
  • Light boxes.

And, this list is far from complete - the ban on tuning cars with any adjustments, which are not constructively provided for in them. If you understand, more than seventy percent of machines are prohibited from operation, based on innovations in legislation.

It is a common practice among motorists to install wider wheels and tires on cars, which provides high adhesion to the road surface. Spacers for suspension springs are often used to increase ground clearance. Owners of off-road vehicles often put homemade trunks of welded pipes on the roof. Now all this is prohibited by new legislation - many drivers will have to be content with that, that are offered to them by car manufacturers.

What threatens to break the rules

Let's talk about that now, which threatens drivers, seen driving a car with tuning. Article 12.5 Administrative Code of the Russian Federation speak, that driving cars, which are defective or do not comply with the provisions on the admission of vehicles to operation, entails the imposition of a fine and a ban on operation on public roads. The fine for such a violation is relatively small - it is 500 rubles. However, the inspector has the right to send your car to the penalty area.

Practice shows, that today most often the traffic police simply draws up a report on violations and gives orders to remove all equipment, which is prohibited by the rules, and take measures to eliminate all non-compliance with requirements and standards.

Many may have questions: for what reason violators are attracted by article 12.5 Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, in which the ban on tuning is not even mentioned? Traffic police officers explain this by, that any design adjustments to the machine, made without the permission of the relevant authorities, treated as problems, with which operation of a car is forbidden.

What a fine for violating the law on car tuning

Sanctions for those look a little different, those who do not have proper optics - here the penalties are more severe, as the threat to road safety is more serious. If you have light sources installed on your car, color or mode of operation which does not meet the requirements of the legislation, you may be deprived of the right to drive for six to twelve months and have illegal devices confiscated..

in addition, should know, that any device for transmitting sound or light signals is prohibited, if it is established without the permission of state authorities. Punishment for such a violation - deprivation of driver's license for a period of 18 months to two years. The prohibited device is confiscated by the traffic police.
