Even new rules suggest that the procedure for deregistering cars will be more complicated if a purchase and sale agreement is concluded in simple written form.
The current rules for state registration of vehicles may change: the State Duma of the Russian Federation has submitted appropriate amendments to parliament for consideration. The State Duma Committee on Transport has already recommended adopting the bill in the first reading, but the proposed norms did not please either the Russian Union of Auto Insurers (RUA) or representatives of the State Duma Committee on the Financial Market.
A bill amending the law on state registration of vehicles was submitted for consideration by the head of the committee, Evgeny Moskvichev (United Russia). As Kommersant reports, the document may be considered at the end of this month. If the changes are approved, innovations will appear in the registration procedures.
When selling a car, the parties enter into a purchase and sale agreement — either in simple written form, or notarized, or executed through a government services portal. The former owner has the right to deregister the car using an application to the traffic police; it can be submitted either in person at the department’s office or in electronic format. In this case, the seller must wait ten days from the date of the transaction: this is the time allotted to the new owner to register the vehicle.
The initiators in the explanatory note note that there are often cases when the previous car owner receives fines for traffic violations recorded by traffic cameras this year -day shift change. Therefore, they proposed an amendment that would allow the former owner to remove the car from state registration on the same day on which he sold it, however, with a caveat: the purchase and sale agreement for this must be drawn up either through the government services portal or with the help of a notary.
The publication notes that the amendments may be supplemented by a rule according to which the seller of the car, who has drawn up a purchase and sale agreement in simple written form, will need (as now) to wait ten days, and then personally contact the traffic police department, where the original document will be taken from him and will check the data. If a forgery is detected (some drivers use fictitious contracts to avoid receiving fines), the driver may be prosecuted under the article “Forgery of documents” (327 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
Another important amendment was the absence of the obligation to present an MTPL policy when registering a car. By the way, the traffic police previously insisted on this change. According to the initiators, registering a car does not automatically mean that it will immediately begin to participate in traffic. At the same time, Evgeny Moskvichev remembered plans according to which control of the availability of insurance should be carried out automatically using traffic cameras (they have been promising to launch this system for several years).
The State Duma Committee on the Financial Market noted that that the second innovation could lead to more drivers driving without compulsory insurance. The amendments were also criticized by the RSA: the union explained that “driving without compulsory motor liability insurance is prohibited by law, it is legally impossible to get to the registration point without a valid policy, that is, at the time of registration of the vehicle, its owner must still have a policy.”
