Very often there are situations when the vehicle does not have state registration plates. And car owners are wondering how legal it is to evacuate a car by traffic police officers. A typical situation can be called the moment of buying and selling a car, when the car passes the registration period.
In any case, if the vehicle does not have identification marks on the body, then any transportation of this vehicle is prohibited, including using a tow truck.
However, there are situations provided by law when it is possible to transport a vehicle without a state number plate.
A license plate is issued to a car based on the personal data of the car owner. If the car has altered or obstructing identification signs, the punishment provided for by law is possible.
Now this offense is recorded by video cameras, and some motorists use the second part of Article 12.2 of the Administrative Code for their own purposes. This article only applies to non-movable vehicles. If the car is moving, including with the help of a tow truck, it must have a registration plate.
Is it possible to transport a vehicle without a gas pumping station by a special vehicle?
Traffic police officers have the right to deliver the vehicle to a special parking lot, regardless of its identification. The evacuation of a car without license plates can be carried out in the following cases:
- Lack of driver's license,
- · If the driver was drunk at the time of driving;
- · Reluctance to undergo a medical examination.
It should be noted that there are other regulations, according to which law enforcement agencies can put a car at a parking lot. The number is a certifying document by which you can find out its owner. In addition, if the car is in a paid parking lot, then no one has the right to pick it up from there.
But every car owner should know that the absence of license plates on a vehicle entails not only administrative, but in some cases also criminal liability.
What to do if there is no license plate on the car
There are situations when the vehicle does not have a license plate (purchase and sale). In this case, the traffic police issues transit numbers, which are legally valid for one month. There are legal methods of forcibly evacuating a car without license plates. If this vehicle obstructs traffic or is parked in a place not intended for this.
There is also an alternative option, when the car is not moved to the parking lot, but the chassis (wheels) is blocked. In this situation, the traffic police officer must give an official conclusion. Often, car owners remove the license plates from their car on their own when they park their car in the wrong place. It is naive to believe that the absence of a license plate will save you from administrative or even criminal liability when the car owner violates the traffic rules.
The evacuation of a car without state number plates is possible in the case when this vehicle is in a residential area and prevents the passage of emergency vehicles.
