What is the penalty for driving without insurance

The insurance policy is a policy of compulsory third party liability insurance. It is a mandatory document at the time of verification by the traffic police along with the driver's license and registration document for transport. Violation of the rules of insurance is subject to sanctions, which have some differences depending on the situation.

The penalty for absence of the insurance

In this case, on the basis of part 2 of article 12.3 of the administrative code, you can receive a warning or pay a fine in the amount of 500 rubles.

The penalty for violation of the terms of insurance

The standard insurance contract is concluded for 1 year. However, there is a category of drivers who do not use their car all year round. These drivers have the right to reduce the term of the contract. For example, vacationers in need of transportation only in a certain season, can reduce your insurance costs by reducing the term of the contract for a few months. In this case, the driver is entitled to drive only in the terms specified in the insurance contract. If the vehicle will be operated in a time not covered by insurance, it will be considered a violation of the terms of insurance insurance.

The fine for overdue insurance

Expired insurance is the most serious violation from those that relate to CTP. In accordance with 2 of article 12.37 of the administrative code for an expired insurance policy, a penalty in the amount of 800 rubles, and the prohibition of vehicle operation. The same punishment awaits drivers who do not have insurance.
