Fines are not the most pleasant thing for motorists. The risk of fines is especially high in winter, when the movement of cars is significantly hampered due to bad weather. Be careful to avoid unnecessary expenses this winter.
Winter is not the most pleasant time of the year for motorists and their cars. Terrible weather, drifts, markings that cannot be seen - all these factors work against drivers in winter. In addition, with the arrival of the cold season, new fines come. You must be vigilant and careful not to get caught by the traffic police.
Do not park on the lawn
In winter, when everything is covered in snow, and the lawns are not full of green grass, parking rules are still not canceled. Even if you are tempted to put your car in a more comfortable place on the lawn, you should not do it. If you park your car in such a place, you will have to pay a fine of 5,000 rubles.
Make sure that the heating and blowing of glass are in good working order
Frozen glass on a car can easily lead to a road traffic accident, as it significantly impairs visibility. Do not drive with faulty heating, because such a trip can cost you 500 rubles. In addition, if your windshield wipers do not work, you will have to add another 500 rubles to the fine. Check your car before driving.
Do not warm up the car near the house
Parking a car in a residential area with the engine running is strictly prohibited. You should not warm up the car near the house for more than five minutes, because such a parking can cost you 1,500 rubles. If you live in St. Petersburg or Moscow, be prepared to pay 3000 rubles for a long warm-up of the car.
Wipe the license plates
In bad winter weather, the number of the car can easily become unreadable due to snow. Always make sure that they are clearly visible, as dirty numbers will cost you 500 rubles.
