New for motorists. Innovations for drivers: what new rules and fines await motorists
Every motorist needs to know about traffic rules changes in 2018, which should occur on January 1. From the beginning of the new year, some improvements and innovations related to compulsory motor liability insurance, excise taxes on fuel, fines, registration of PTS and some other aspects will come into force. We will help you figure out what will change on January 1, and you will remember this information and share it with your friends.
Key innovations
Let's start with the main innovations that await us on January 1, 2018. Not all of them are as pleasant as we would like, but nothing can be done. So, what will change for drivers next year and can we influence the planned events?
On January 1, 2018, excise taxes on fuel will be increased - this is one of the most unpleasant events that await motorists. Starting from the new year, excise tax rates on diesel fuel and gasoline will increase by 50 kopecks per liter. According to experts, diesel fuel and gasoline will rise in price by approximately 60 kopecks as a result. Later, namely on July 1, 2018, excise taxes will again be increased by 50 kopecks, that is, in the summer fuel will rise in price again - this is inevitable.
New in traffic rules
From January 1, 2018, a new unusual definition should appear in the traffic rules, which reads “calm traffic zone.” Accordingly, a new road sign will be introduced. Such a zone will oblige motorists to drive at speeds of up to 10-20 km/h without overtaking. Pedestrians walking in such a zone will be able to cross the roadway wherever they wish, and drivers will need to exercise caution. How and where such a zone will be installed is not yet very clear, but it will certainly be used.
In 2018 it is planned to introduce electronic form vehicle passports. The electronic PTS should appear on July 1. On the territory of European countries, this innovation appeared last summer, according to the decision of the Board of the Euro-Asian Economic Commission.
Switching to electronic technical certificate all information about the car owner will be saved and transferred to electronic format. It will be stored in the traffic police database. Therefore, when buying a car on the secondary market, everyone will have the opportunity to recognize it real story. It is also planned to include more detailed information about repairs, maintenance, etc. in the electronic document.
About fines based on video recordings
The government has approved a bill according to which, from January 1, 2018, motorists will be able to be fined based on video recordings received from third parties. In this case, no protocol will be required. There will be a release for this in the new year. mobile app called "People's Inspector". It has already been tested in Moscow and Tatarstan, and now it will begin to spread throughout all regions of the country.
Thanks to these changes, traffic police inspectors will be able to draw up decisions to attract drivers to administrative responsibility without drawing up a protocol. The main thing is that the violation is recorded by a video camera.
OSAGO in 2018
From January 2018, changes will be introduced regarding compulsory motor insurance of civil liability. There are quite a lot of improvements, and some of them are positive, so motorists will like them:
In the new year it is planned to introduce new form OSAGO. It will have a QR code located at the top right. It will allow you to receive information about the insurance contract on the RSA website online using Internet access. Not everyone understands why this is needed and who is it convenient for? Thanks to this code, using a special application on your phone, you can go to the RSA website to obtain the following detailed information:
- name of the insurance company;
- series and number, as well as the date of issue of the policy;
- the start and end date of the transport operation period during the validity period of the compulsory motor liability insurance policy;
- Full name of the car owner;
- vehicle make and model, state registration plates, VIN code;
- persons who are authorized to drive a vehicle.
This innovation is intended to combat counterfeit policies, which are becoming more and more numerous.
Cooling period
Motorists in Russia who have had to receive payments under MTPL are familiar with the term cooling period. During certain period the driver has the right to refuse unnecessary imposed insurance. Now this period is only five days, and from the new year it will increase to two weeks.
Changes in tariffs
There is a project to liberalize insurers, aimed at the Central Bank. It should bring a number of important changes. The main one is that from July 1, 2018 insurance organizations will themselves determine the size of the five coefficients on which the cost of the policy depends.
The name of the project of this document so: Proposals for the transition to free formation of tariffs for compulsory motor liability insurance. The board of the RSA has already approved it, and now it’s up to the Central Bank. According to the proposal of the union of auto insurers, from July 1 the Central Bank will regulate only maximum size basic tariff for passenger cars individuals. The size of the coefficients on which the final cost of the policy will depend will be determined by the insurers themselves.
There are two options for liberalization. According to one of them, insurance companies will determine the coefficients themselves:
- territorial;
- by age and length of service;
- by machine power;
- on restrictions on persons allowed to drive;
- on using a trailer.
According to the second scenario, insurance firms are asked to transfer four coefficients, instead of five. Also, according to the project, from 2020 the Central Bank must abandon regulation of prices for compulsory motor liability insurance policies, that is, insurers must control them themselves. It is still difficult to say whether this is good or bad for ordinary motorists.
GLONASS and OSAGO
From January 1, 2018, another significant innovation is planned, which is unlikely to please everyone. The ERA-GLONASS system will begin to transmit information about ongoing accidents to automated system OSAGO. In Moscow and St. Petersburg and their regions, an experiment is being conducted to register road accidents according to the European protocol. It is allowed insurance payment in the amount of up to 400 thousand rubles. How this will be implemented is still unclear, but we’ll see what happens in the new year.
About taxi
From January 2018, it is planned to introduce a number of important changes that will affect taxi services. A corresponding bill has already been submitted to the State Duma, according to which all dispatch services, aggregators and online services for ordering a taxi will be included in the legal framework.
Mandatory insurance for taxi drivers is called OSGOP, and not only taxi drivers, but also buses will be covered. Amendments are present in the mentioned bill. The OSGOP law appeared in 2013, and according to its provisions, persons engaged in passenger transportation must insure liability to passengers. The limit of payments under OSGOP is 2 million rubles, and under OSAGO they are limited to 500 thousand rubles. Also, according to the law, OSGOP will also cover damage to passengers’ luggage, which is limited to 23 thousand rubles with checks, and 11 thousand without checks.
About integrators and dispatchers
The bill also talks about the services of aggregators that post information about taxi services on Internet sites. In case of any incident, neither the taxi driver nor the aggregator has yet responded. The problem is the lack of real legal mechanism responsibility.
When calling a car via the Internet or an application, the passenger believes that the taxi driver works for a specific company. In reality, the car is often simply rented to a taxi company, which hands it over to the driver. Also, before the raid, drivers’ insurance and even their health status are not checked.
According to the new law, the actions of taxi companies and aggregators, as well as the drivers themselves, must be strictly defined and regulated. It will be clearly defined which of them and for what actions taken should be held accountable in case of violations. If the bill is adopted, the listed rules will come into force from the end of January next year.
Other changes for motorists in 2018
In the new year, drivers will expect other important changes that will affect only certain groups of motorists.
About school buses
According to a certain decree, number 652, a new ban on operation will appear school buses over ten years old. The ban will affect the organized transportation of groups of children, during which the use of a bus is allowed, less than ten years have passed since its release. The purpose and design characteristics of the vehicle must be suitable for transporting passengers. It will be necessary to have a tachograph and a GLONASS or GLONASS/GPS navigation system. This ban has been postponed several times, and from January 1, 2018 it is guaranteed to come into force!
Checking drivers before flights
New rules will come into force in 2018 pre-trip inspection drivers. They will be in mandatory check before and after flights. It is planned to use telemedicine technology, and medical examination reports will be issued in electronic format.
The exact procedure for organizing remote medical examination will still be developed and approved by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. It is assumed that in Federal law No. 196, additions will be made to paragraphs 7 and 8 under Article 23.
Organizing examinations using telemedicine will provide faster and more accurate monitoring of drivers’ condition. Mandatory pre- and post-voyage inspections are required to detect signs of exposure to hazardous production factors, diseases and conditions that prevent the performance of duties at the proper level.
About EURO-5
In January of the new year, more stringent requirements for environmental standards for SUVs, buses and trucks will come into force - we are talking about the EURO-5 environmental class. Requirements to environmental class are prescribed in technical regulations Customs Union. According to the document, the EURO-4 requirement for trucks and buses will last until December 31, 2017, therefore, starting from the new year, the production of commercial vehicles with an environmental class below EURO-5 will be prohibited in the Russian Federation.

The New Year, as usual, is marked for motorists by a number of laws coming into force. This time, the New Year's “gift” to drivers was not only fines and violations, but also very pleasant and useful opportunities...
Increasing the “cooling period”
Let's start with the pleasant things. New rules for issuing policies come into force on January 1 voluntary insurance CASCO. For many years, motorists have complained that insurers impose unnecessary CASCO insurance on them and refuse to issue insurance without it. mandatory policy OSAGO.
A way to combat the arbitrariness of insurance companies was invented last year - this is the so-called “cooling period”. It represents five days during which the car owner can refuse CASCO. After the introduction of this rule, the number of complaints about the imposition of unnecessary services decreased threefold, but drivers often do not have five days to submit a complaint.
In this regard, starting from the New Year, the “cooling period” will be increased to 14 days - this time is certainly enough to get the insurer to return the money.
Registration of road accidents using GLONASS
Owners of cars equipped with the ERA-GLONASS system will receive new opportunities. They will be able to install a special button in the car, which will greatly simplify the process of registering an accident.

In the event of a minor accident in which no one was injured, there will be no need to call the traffic police; it is enough to press the GLONASS notification button within 10 minutes after the accident and the system itself will record everything necessary - the location of the accident, the position of the cars, the speed at the time of the incident, etc.
The driver will only have to take a photo general view incidents, car numbers, traces and objects related to the accident, and you can safely drive away. Moreover, for such a simplified registration of an accident, it is enough that at least one of the participants in the accident has a GLONASS warning system.
Increase in excise taxes on gasoline
A little bit of good stuff, let’s move on to less pleasant innovations. Excise taxes on fuel in 2018 will rise by as much as a ruble per liter. The increase will take place in two stages - from January 1 by 50 kopecks and by the same amount from July 1.

Fine for tinting
Already from January 1, the State Duma planned to increase the fine for tinting by 10 times. The current penalty for this violation is only 500 rubles, and many drivers prefer to pay this small amount occasionally and continue driving with tinted windows.

A towbar is defined as a towing device designed to connect a trailer or van to a passenger car. This device is used by many motorists. However, due to recent changes in legislation, actual question, under what conditions the tow bar is installed on the car.
A separate law regulating exclusively the use of a towbar on a car, traffic rules not provided. The main provision that traffic police inspectors address is Article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. This instruction provides a list of equipment installed on the vehicle for which penalties are due.
There is no separate tow bar in Article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. However last changes and the comments to them prescribe that this device is that addition to the vehicle, the unauthorized installation of which entails a fine.
Next we turn to Technical regulations“On the safety of wheeled vehicles” TR TS 018/2011. This law involves making changes to the structure of the car. If these are provided by the manufacturer, then they are considered regulated, that is, legal.
Changes in the laws on towbars provide for its operation in the presence of:
- device passports with data on its installation filled out by the service center;
- copies of the certificate of the mounted device;
- certificate of completed work on its installation.
The solution to the question of whether it is possible to install a towbar according to the new law depends on the installation procedure performed.
Procedure for installing a tow bar
For legal installation of the towbar in accordance with legal norms take into account certain procedure:
- are determined with the possibility of installation - a car must be designed for towing a trailer; the manufacturer provides a special place for the towbar;
- choose a unit from the manufacturer, coordinating the choice with the model and make of the car;
- turn to a car service for installation with further paperwork;
- receive documents for installing a tow bar and register it with the traffic police.
Register the device with the traffic police not necessary, if complied with conditions:
- installation is provided by the vehicle manufacturer;
- the device has a passport and a certificate proving the legality of its installation;
- the device was installed according to the instructions without making changes to the design of the car, that is, drilling, welding and other actions were not carried out.
Registration of a tow bar with the traffic police is meant in a situation where installation is carried out independently or changes are made to the design of the machine. Registration costs vary depending on the type of vehicle and the cost of the device itself. For registration are provided documentation:
- application for registration, its form for filling out is offered on the spot;
- double-sided copy of PTS;
- documents for the tow bar;
- car registration certificate.
Based on application an examination is organized to determine the possibility of using the specified device. Based on its results, the car owner must collect certain documents:
- a diagnostic card confirming the safety of the vehicle being used;
- contract for the purchase of a tow bar and other papers related to its use, including a certificate;
- declaration from the car service center where the device was installed;
- expert decision on the possibility of operating the vehicle.
Based on the above list, the driver is issued certificate, confirming the legality of using the tow bar.
What is the fine for a towbar without a trailer?
The new law on towed devices according to the Technical Regulations and Article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation defines fine for illegal use of a tow bar of 500 rubles. At the same time, an alternative is prescribed - verbal warning. Based on this, the question arises as to how collection can be avoided.
Those drivers who have been free of offenses for a long time are more likely to be successful in calling for a warning. Traffic police inspectors do not often pay attention to the presence of a tow bar on a vehicle without a trailer. But even the most conscientious will be loyal to law-abiding citizens.
An excellent solution would be to use a removable tow bar. In this case, the traffic police inspector will not be able to interpret the device as negatively affecting the safety of the vehicle. The presence of all documents completely exempts the driver from penalties.
The driver of the car can refer to paragraph 77 of Chapter 5 of the said Technical Regulations. According to its provisions, a vehicle is not tested for safety if it is equipped with supplementary devices, provided that:
- the installed units have a factory purpose;
- there is a certificate of suitability for use on this vehicle;
- availability of documentation from the manufacturer and compliance with the brand and model of the machine being used.
It will not be possible to evade collection if the device is homemade or if changes were made to the design of the car during its installation. In this situation, you will need identification documents from the traffic police; if they are missing, a fine will be issued.
