In Russia, a fine of 3 to 5 thousand rubles will be imposed for repeatedly driving a car without a MTPL policy. TASS writes about this with reference to the draft recall of the Cabinet of Ministers, which was approved by the government commission on legislative activities.

The document has not yet been submitted to the State Duma; it was prepared by the parliament of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic. They want to amend the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation. The concept of the bill is to ensure that the vehicle owner fulfills his obligation to insure his civil liability in order to protect the rights of victims. The draft review states that the Russian government supports the bill.
The authors of the new initiative believe that some car owners do not take out insurance because the fine for this violation is only 800 rubles (400 rubles if paid within 20 days).
Driving without compulsory motor liability insurance often leads to a violation of the accident victim’s right to compensation and a large number of court cases for damages. But even drivers who have been fined are in no hurry to take out compulsory liability insurance because of the “softness of administrative punishment”.
“We believe that a more severe punishment for repeat offences in this administrative offence will contribute to an increase in the number of people who take out compulsory civil liability insurance for vehicle owners,” the explanatory note says.
The Central Bank of the Russian Federation announced plans to change the tariff range limits for compulsory motor insurance for some types of transport. This will affect public transport: trolleybuses, trams, buses that regularly transport passengers, as well as motorcycles and trucks with a maximum permissible weight of 16 tons or less.
