Penalty for red. Violation of traffic rules

The passage to the red traffic light is one of the most frequent offenses. Some drivers try to drive faster without even knowing about the amount of sanctions they will receive if their actions are fixed by traffic police officers. In the article we will talk about how much the traffic penalty for the red traffic signal is provided, and what will be the consequences of this violation.

Legal framework

There are three legislative acts that regulate responsibility for this offense. We list them.

1. Rules of the road traffic (SDA).
2. Code of Administrative Offenses (Code of Administrative Offenses).
3. The Criminal Code (CC).

Violation of the ban on travel

Consider the penalty for driving to the red light in more detail. The offense belongs to the group associated with crossing intersections, and is punishable by a fine of 1 thousand rubles. According to the Rules traffic at a traffic light is forbidden not only by the red signal of a traffic light, but also by:

• A combination of yellow and red;
• yellow.

To very frequent offenses, which result in accidents, are:

• An attempt to cross the intersection to a yellow signal;
• The desire to turn to the right with the main green, but without the additional arrow "to the right."

If the unlawful action is repeated within a year, the fines of the traffic rules become more stringent. Then the punishment will be 5 thousand rubles. In addition, the driver may lose his rights for up to six months.

Someone still does not attach importance to this. But leaving for a prohibiting line of markup is also considered an offense. The size of the fine today is 800 rubles. In large cities, traffic lights are installed cameras that fix the passage to the red light.

Violation of the prohibition on the passage of railways

Railway tracks are allowed to pass only at specially equipped crossings. Here terrible accidents can happen.

According to statistics, in the vast majority of cases of road accidents, it is the drivers of vehicles who want to skip ahead before moving the train as quickly as possible. In this case, violators:

• Ignore the rules of being on the move;
• Assess the situation on the road is mistaken.

It is always important to remember that rail transport can not stop immediately, unlike cars. That's why it has the advantage, and drivers are obliged to miss it.

At the crossing there are signs warning about the approach of the train. They should follow. Also pay attention to the barrier, the duty officer and the actual situation on both sides.

In addition to the traffic light signal, an audible signal is usually given. He warns you that you should stop. In 20 seconds after this, the barrier is closed. It is forbidden to carry out the journey to the red light. Keep in mind, there is always the risk of getting stuck on the roads. And this is dangerous not only for the life of the driver, but also for other people.

If, however, such an attempt is realized, then the offender will face a fine of 1,000 rubles or a deprivation of rights for up to six months. If the same rule is violated again, the driver's license will be taken for 1 year.

Crossroads and stop line

As a penalty for driving to the red, and when the driver leaves the intersection, if a traffic jam is formed on the road, the same penalty is provided. The car, thus, creates an obstacle and becomes dangerous.

In front of the traffic lights there is a stop line, the driver can not call in for it. It separates the border of the pedestrian crossing and part of the road, which is forbidden to cross at a stop. Neglect of this rule creates a threat to pedestrians and causes accidents. The driver should try to stop so that even the bumper does not go behind this line. If there is a CCTV camera here, this fact can be fixed as a violation of SDA. Then soon the probability of receiving a "letter of happiness" is great. Approaching the traffic lights, it is better to stop in advance. Then you will not create an emergency situation, but will not penalize the fare for the red traffic light signal.

Violation from an accident

If as a result of violation of traffic rules "Travel to red" at the railway crossing or the road there was an accident, the same responsibility as in other cases. The driver is punished as follows.

In the framework of administrative law by imposing on it a fine or deprivation of the right to drive a car. Then the traffic police officer issues a fine. Driver's license can be confiscated only on the basis of a court decision, which is made on materials prepared by the inspector. A protocol is drawn up at the scene of the incident. Rights are acquired, but they are issued a temporary certificate instead. Also, the inspector can remove the offender from managing the vehicle. Thus, preventive measures are implemented to prevent other violations.

Civil liability occurs when it is necessary to compensate for material damage. All drivers in the territory of Russia must have an insurance policy of OSAGO. If the participants of an accident do not have any disputes regarding what happened, the damage is compensated in the general order by the insurance company. In other cases, issues are resolved in court.

Criminal responsibility is realized by punishment in the form of imprisonment.

Accidents that caused damage to cars

If the road transport is damaged, then the driver bears 2 kinds of responsibility. Administrative comes before the state as a necessity to pay fines for traffic rules. Civil liability arises before the victim as a duty to pay compensation for car repairs.

Accidents that caused harm to human health

Unfortunately, it often happens when people suffer as a result of an accident. These are passengers, pedestrians and the driver himself. Harm to health can be:

• Easy;
• Heavy.

The first case is qualified only when the treatment is no more than three weeks. At the same time, administrative responsibility comes in the form of a fine or withdrawal of a driver's license for up to 6 months.

In the second case, treatment is more than three weeks. Then the perpetrator of the accident faces criminal responsibility in the form of imprisonment for up to 2 years.

If, as a result of the accident, there are human casualties, the offender may be imprisoned for up to five years. Criminal punishment is appointed only by the court after the relevant decision is made.

To qualify a crime that caused serious damage to human health, the following signs are taken into account as a basis:

• Danger to life;
• Loss of an organ or its function, complete or partial;
• Mental disorder;
• Loss of ability to work;
• miscarriage;
• Facial disfigurement.

Responsibility issues

If as a result of an accident a property damage was caused, the culprit is brought to administrative responsibility by the state. Civil liability comes at the will of the injured party.

When people suffered as a result of the accident, the state, again, attracts the driver to administrative responsibility. Civilian comes at will of the victim.

If the victim was not assisted by the driver - the culprit of the accident, he is prosecuted. The court then imposes a penalty in the form of restriction of liberty for up to 3 years or imprisonment up to 2 years.

But when there are no injured people, and the damage is not more than 500 times the minimum wage, the material claims can be resolved without trial by agreement of the parties.

Safety on the road is provided, first of all, by the drivers themselves. They are participants of the road traffic. Do not try to avoid punishment. Better to bear it honestly, defending oneself by legal methods. If you hide from the scene, it will lead to even more negative consequences. Indeed, at present there are special means of video surveillance. These are cameras that fix the passage to the red light, setting the speed of movement and other offenses on the road.

Conclusion

Be careful! After all, the passage to the prohibiting traffic light can be the result of driving at too high speed, talking on the phone, alcoholic intoxication or a little driving experience.

If you do not pay a fare for red on time, additional penalties are waiting for you. But having made the payment, perhaps next time you will become more attentive and will not try to slip yellow and the more so red light. Understanding the possible consequences protects people from ill-considered actions. Be careful on the roads!
