Today, more and more video cameras appear on the roads of Russia, designed to automatically detect traffic violations by drivers. Therefore, now car owners often ask themselves whether they have come into the field of view of such a device, and whether they are not credited with unpaid fines?
The current legislation of the Russian Federation establishes that automatic video recording cameras that record violations of the speed limit, the order of rebuilding and overtaking and other traffic rules are a tool that allows you to get evidence that a particular car owner has committed a violation. Therefore, the recording of such a video camera can serve as a sufficient basis for the imposition of a fine for a committed misconduct. How can you find out if you have any violations if you have not received any notifications to the mailing address?
Checking fines online
Today, the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate is increasingly automating the process of communicating with car owners, not only directly on the roads, but also outside them. This, in particular, concerns the possibility of checking the presence of unpaid fines for violations of traffic rules recorded by video cameras. Today, the official website of the State Traffic Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation has a special section that is designed specifically to inform drivers about these and other fines. In order to use it, on the main page of the official website, select the "Checking fines" section, which is located in the "Online services" section.
Information required to check fines
To find out whether unpaid fines based on violations recorded by a video camera are listed in the traffic police database for you, you will need to provide the system with some data that will identify you as the car owner. In particular, on the page of the service "Checking fines" in the form proposed for filling, there are several fields that will need to be filled in: these include data on the state registration plate of the car, the series and number of the certificate of state registration of the vehicle. The third field, in which you also need to enter data, is a security code designed to suppress requests from robots that can negatively affect the operation of the site. After entering all the necessary information, make sure that the system correctly identified your location by IP address: in this case, the region of your residence will be indicated in the upper right corner of the website page. If it does not correspond to reality, simply change it manually by selecting the required subject of the Federation from the list, and then click the "Request" button. The result of the request will be information about the presence or absence of unpaid traffic fines from you.
