The mass of the loaded truck and the load on 1 axle are the parameters that must be strictly adhered to. On the different roads permitted load truck different. Therefore, the driver and the organization that owns the vehicle must clearly know the restrictions that exist on each of the sections of the route. Overloading will be both premature destruction of the roadbed and the risk of an accident with a heavy vehicle out of control. Fine for overloading a truck in 2018, how much drivers and responsible persons are fined.

Who is responsible for reloading trucks in 2018

Responsibility for exceeding the maximum weight of the entire vehicle or the load on each axle according to the law may be borne by different entities.

First of all, it is the driver. It provides for minimum fines, but they will be minimal in comparison with fines for other entities that may be punished. One way or another, we mean thousands of rubles.

Also, officials of the carrier company responsible for transportation can be fined. Here, the order of fine amounts is measured in tens of thousands of rubles.

The company can also be fined in general - hundreds of thousands of rubles.

Please note that in this case, an individual entrepreneur is equated to an organization, and the penalty will be exactly the same.

And finally, the owner of the vehicle can be fined. And it doesn’t matter if it is an organization or an individual, the amount of the fine will be hundreds of thousands.

Fines are imposed on the owner if the overload of the vehicle was recorded by automatic photo and video cameras. The state will not figure out who was driving, who was responsible for transportation as a responsible person in an organization, etc.

The specific amount of fines will be related to how overloaded the vehicle is. The greater the percentage of overload from the norm, the greater the amount of the fine.

What determines the amount of the fine for overloading the truck

Overloading starts from the moment when the maximum permitted weight of the vehicle or the load on 1 axle is exceeded by 2% or more.

Usually, vehicles are weighed at specialized stationary weight control points. As a rule, on the section of the road where there is a similar point, all trucks are required to pass through specialized scales at low speed.

Sometimes mobile checkpoints are also used. A specialized platform in this case can be placed on almost any section of the road.

Overloading up to 2% is not subject to a fine. This figure is laid down as an error of scales at control points. Thus, if the inspectors try to provoke the driver into a bribe with an overload of just under 2%, then the threat that they will issue a fine does not make sense, since they do not have this right.

The Code of Administrative Offenses in 2018 has the following gradation of vehicle overload, according to which the amount of the fine increases:

• 2-10%,
• 10-20%,
• 20-50%,
• over 50%.

Another important point is the possible overload coordination. If government agencies issue a separate permit for the carriage of goods in excess of allowable weight or axle load, then within this agreement, overload will be permissible.

Thus, if the truck turned out to be heavier than it was allowed, then a fine will also be imposed for this.

In this situation, the overload percentage will no longer be calculated from the vehicle mass or axle load permitted in this section, but from the limit contained in the permit.

And in this case, they begin to fine only if the overload exceeds 10% of the mass or axle load specified in the permit. Overloading up to 10% is not subject to fines.

What are the penalties for reloading trucks in 2018

As for the fines for drivers for overloading a truck, the table of fines according to the level of overload in 2018 is as follows:

Drivers need to be aware that fines will not be the only punishment provided for them for overloading. For this violation, they can lose their driver's license.

With an overload of 20-50%, the period of deprivation of rights is 2-4 months, with an overload of more than 50% - 4-6 months.

Fines for officials responsible for transportation and allowing vehicles to enter the road with overload are as follows:

Penalties for legal entities (enterprises using trucks) are as follows:

Fines for vehicle owners issued solely by fixing the violation with automatic photo and video cameras:

Overloading of cars is one of the problems of destruction of the road surface. Only in 2014, 3 laws were adopted that changed the rules for the passage of heavy vehicles. The concept of overloading a car and responsibility for overloading will be discussed below.

Vehicle overload - axle load - the load of the mass of the vehicle, which is transferred to the roadway.

The vehicle weight is calculated as the sum of the rear axle load and the front axle load.

On some sections of the highways and almost in front of every bridge, you can see sign 3.12, which sets the weight limit for vehicles passing over it. If the load on any of the axles of the vehicle exceeds established by sign restriction, the driver must drive the route in a different way. For ignoring the sign, Article 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses provides for liability in the amount of 2 - 2.5 thousand rubles.

Overloading is dangerous by breaking roads, the likelihood of emergencies, lengthening the stopping distance, which can also lead to accidents. The driver is always responsible for the overloaded vehicle.

Checking the mass of the car is carried out at checkpoints. If the maximum allowable axle load is exceeded, the driver may be fined from 1,500 to 15,000 rubles, and the amount of the fine for carriers - legal entities - from 250,000 to 400,000 rubles. In this case, an overload of a truck is allowed no more than 5%.

To drive with bulky cargo, you need to have a special permit, which is issued by the consignor. Driving without it is punishable by a fine of 2,000 to 500,000 rubles.

Of course, carriers often encounter dishonest shippers who list one weight on paper, when in reality there can be a serious overweight. In this case, traffic police officers fine the driver and the owner of the car. In this case, the law provides for penalties for individuals. persons - 5,000 rubles, and for a legal entity - from 250,000 to 400,000 rubles. At the same time, it should be noted that for a significant excess of the weight of the cargo, the vehicle is threatened with being sent to the impound until the fine is paid.

As practice has shown, it is almost impossible to challenge a fine for overloading in court. Here you need an experienced lawyer who is well acquainted with the specifics of this area.

Who pays for the overload

Only one advice can be given to carriers and drivers - carefully check the cargo and its weight before accepting it. The imposition of a fine on one of the parties to the contract of carriage does not eliminate the liability of the other party. This feature should be taken into account in their activities by both the carrier and the consignor. In a note to Art. 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation states that for the administrative offenses provided for in this article, persons engaged in entrepreneurial activities without forming a legal entity bear administrative responsibility as legal entities, that is, carriers - individual entrepreneurs also pay an increased fine. In this case, if the shipper deliberately distorted information about the weight of the cargo, then you can file a claim against him for damages.

Compensation for losses for overloading the vehicle by the consignor.

Paragraph 3 of Article 35 of the UATiGNET (Charter of Road Transport) establishes the responsibility of the consignor for failure to indicate in the consignment note special marks or precautions necessary for the carriage of goods, or for misrepresenting information about the properties of the goods in the amount of 20% of the freight charge. The payment of the fine does not relieve the consignor from compensation for damage caused to the carrier by such violations. Thus, if the consignor incorrectly indicates the weight of the cargo in the consignment note or application, the carrier has the right to demand to pay him a 20 percent fine and compensate for damage, which can include:

Administrative fine on the carrier for violation of the maximum permissible mass of the vehicle;

Payment for the stay of the vehicle at a special site (penalty station);

Payment for the damage caused to the road.

Compensation for damage refers to measures of civil liability, therefore, its application is possible only if there are liability conditions provided for by law. Demanding to pay a fine and compensate for the damage caused by the indication by the consignor of incorrect information about the weight of the cargo, the carrier is obliged to prove:

The fact of misrepresentation of information;

The presence and extent of the damage suffered;

Causal relationship between legal relationship and damage.

In order to prove the fact of misrepresentation of information about the weight of the cargo, the carrier is obliged to weigh the cargo separately and the vehicle separately with prior written notification to the consignor and receive a weighing report. Only in this way will it be established that:

The excess of the permissible mass of the vehicle was allowed due to the unfair behavior of the consignor;

IN cargo hold there were no foreign objects in the vehicle that could lead to exceeding the permissible mass of the vehicle.

At the same time, the presence of only one act of weighing a vehicle with cargo will not be sufficient to prove the fact that the consignor misrepresented information about the weight of the cargo in the bill of lading.

The legislation establishes a ban on the movement of heavy vehicles on public roads with an excess of the permissible mass by more than two percent.

The overload is calculated not by the total mass, but by the load on each of the axles of the truck. Therefore, even if the total mass of the cargo is within the normal range, but it was unevenly distributed, this is also a violation.

Responsibility of the consignor for overloading the vehicle

Responsibility for it is provided for by Article 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, and it is revealed in two main ways.

1. Weighing at the weight control posts.

In this way, drivers, people responsible for transportation and organizations are attracted for overloading. It is strictly regulated. Most often, the Order of the Ministry of Transport of April 27, 2011 N125 is violated, according to which an inspector can stop you for inspection only if he has “preliminary results obtained using automated systems for weight and dimensional control of vehicles in motion.” An inspector cannot stop a heavy truck just like that, he must have information about the preliminary weighing, according to which a particular vehicle has certain deviations in the axle load. If there are no such results, then he has no reason to stop and send him to any weighing.

It is not worth insisting too much on compliance with this provision, because there is a risk of being punished for “disobedience to a legal requirement”, and the missing preliminary results may then appear from nowhere. Nevertheless, it is necessary to confidently point out to the inspector that the stop was without reason, and also to reflect this circumstance in writing in the protocol itself, if it comes to drawing it up.

2. Automatic fixation.

In this case, the owner of the heavyweight is involved. It doesn't matter who owns vehicle: "physicist" or firm - the fine for all is assigned equal and maximum.

The use of automatic fixation is an innovation of the last two years. Almost all exits Nizhny Novgorod in 2016, the so-called frames were installed with equipment that automatically fixes overload along the axles of trucks. These frameworks are already working with might and main in Balakhna, Semyonovsky, Shatkovsky and other districts.

The fine ranges from 150,000 to 500,000 rubles, and this practice threatens to ruin carriers and can ruin the transport business in our region. Against this background, the offer to take advantage of a 50% discount for 20 days looks like a mockery.

According to the Code of Administrative Offenses, the owner of the car, who received a fine from the camera, is released from administrative responsibility if he proves the guilt of another person. In fact, such culprits are the driver, the cargo owner who carried out the loading and the tenant of the car.

Our lawyers will be able to prove your innocence, but to help us with this, follow a few simple conditions:

• Keep the correct document flow for transportation
• Save TNKs, TTNki and waybills
• Have OSAGO for an unlimited circle of people.
• Remember, the appeal period is 10 days.

Explain to the real culprit that he will avoid liability, since the statute of limitations for prosecution is two months.

It remains to cancel the illegal decision!

Overloading a car: monitoring violations, norms and fines

Responsibility for reloading a truck in 2017

Axle overload penalty

Not so long ago, the rules came into force, according to which the standard for overloading cars along the axles has become much stricter - before, a deviation of 15% was allowed, now it is only 5%.

Article 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. Violation of the rules for the transportation of bulky and heavy cargo

3. Transportation of heavy cargo exceeding the permitted maximum weight or axle load specified in the special permit by more than 5 percent -
(as amended by Federal Law No. 296-FZ of November 6, 2011)
shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine on the driver in the amount of one thousand five hundred to two thousand roubles; for officials responsible for transportation - from ten thousand to fifteen thousand rubles; for legal entities - from two hundred and fifty thousand to four hundred thousand rubles.
3.1. Provision by the consignor of false information about the weight and dimensions of the cargo, if this entailed a violation of the rules for the transportation of bulky and heavy cargo, –
shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine on citizens in the amount of five thousand roubles; for individual entrepreneurs - from ten thousand to fifteen thousand rubles; for legal entities - from two hundred and fifty thousand to four hundred thousand rubles.
(Part 3.1 was introduced by Federal Law No. 296-FZ of November 6, 2011)

For 2018, there is also a fine for inaccurate information about the mass and dimensions of the cargo - it is imposed on legal entities, and very weighty - from 5,000 for citizens to 400,000 for legal entities.
A separate article regulates violations of the requirements of road signs about maximum load or axle load. The fine for overloading the car in this case will be from 2000 to 2500 rubles.

Penalty for misrepresenting information about the mass and dimensions of the cargo

Another fine is provided for by the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, and by the Federal Law "Charter of Road Transport and Urban Surface Electric Transport":
If the consignor of the cargo incorrectly indicates information about the weight and dimensions of the cargo in the consignment documents, he may be subject to a fine of 20% of the carriage charge.
In general, the introduction of fines for overloading trucks is aimed primarily at preserving the roadway.

Legal Issues

What is the danger of overloading a car and a truck?

Regularly, thanks to cargo vehicles, a lot of goods are delivered to the cities of Russia. Each carrier is obliged to carefully monitor the indicator of car loading, because in case of violation established rules a fine will follow.

Overload is the axial load of the vehicle, that is, the weight of the vehicle that is placed on the roadway during the trip. The total mass is calculated based on two indicators, these are: the load on the rear axle and the front.

Heavy vehicles, on the other hand, often have more rear load as they carry various kinds of goods.

On many highways, including before bridges, drivers can see the sign 3.12. It indicates weight limits and prohibits the passage of cars with overload. In this case, the driver undertakes to drive through the specified section in a different way, otherwise a fine will follow, established by Article 12.21.1, part 5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.

Responsibility for overload

Under current law, several individuals are responsible. First of all, the driver himself will suffer from illegal acts - an administrative offense is punishable by a fine.

If the authorized person is a certain organization or enterprise engaged in the transportation of goods, then as a result of such an offense, both the enterprise itself and its leaders will suffer. In this case, it should be noted that if the car was rented by a carrier, then all responsibility for the offense rests with the lessee.

In the case when the offense was established and recorded by traffic cameras, then the owner himself will be directly responsible for the deed. And this applies not only to ordinary citizens, but also to legal entities and individual entrepreneurs.

As for the fines themselves, for reloading they will be the same for individual entrepreneurs as for legal entities (enterprises). This is indicated in the note of the article for overloading the vehicle. The final amount of the fine is calculated depending on the mass of the overload, and the presence of a permit to work with large loads is also of great importance, since there is a separate article for exceeding the mass in it.

Getting permission

To obtain a permit for the carriage of goods, it is necessary to go through a not the simplest procedure:

1. Submit a request for permission to the customer of the transportation.
2. Fill out an application and send it to the road service (depending on the route of the vehicle) indicating the technical specifications, metric data and other information received from the customer of transportation.
3. After agreeing and checking the route, arrive at the local traffic police department to obtain a pass.

Only after obtaining this permission, you can start transporting goods. This procedure takes a lot of time, depending on the readiness of all necessary documentation and other factors - from 7 to 30 business days.

Checkpoints

Checkpoints are placed on many trails to check the weight of goods vehicles, in particular each axle. In case of violation of the established norms, the carrier will be punished under part 3, article 12.21.1.

However, legislation suggests that a slight overload is possible. The same article indicates the admissibility within 5%.

At checkpoints, the carrier may be fined under part 1 of the same article if it is found that he does not have a special permit for transportation. The driver receives it on a specialized Internet resource or from the consignor. In this case, the punishment ranges from 2,000 rubles to 500,000.

Overload penalties and penalties

Finding out how much the fine can threaten is quite simple. To do this, it is enough to refer to Article 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses Russian Federation. It should be noted that the fine and size directly depends on the offense, in particular on how much the actual load exceeds the established norms.
In accordance with the established punishment and offense, the driver can be issued not only a fine, but also the vehicle is sent to the impound lot. Then you have to pay extra for his stay.

The amount of the fine varies depending on who it is for. So, for ordinary citizens, it will be minimal - from 2,000 rubles, and the maximum amount is 500 thousand rubles, which threatens legal entities in case of violation of established rules. It is also important that the offenders will also bear the extreme responsibility, which is imposed in the event of an overload that is half the permissible norm.

Established standards in the table below:

Group "A" includes cars, the operation of which is permitted on roads of categories I-III, group "B", the operation of which is permitted on all roads.

The struggle of legislators for reloading trucks (tonar, kamaz, volvo, scania, man, gazelle, on axles ...) on the roads originates from an effective solution to the problems of reloading wagons on railway transport. Only in 2014, 3 laws were adopted that changed the rules for the passage of heavy vehicles.

Fines for overloading freight transport in 2020

Background

It was there that the issue of overload control was worked out freight transport along the axes and, of course, a practice has been developed to recover huge fines associated with damage to the road infrastructure (bed) of the Russian Federation. It is estimated that about 20% of freight vehicles move with overloaded cargo, causing damage to the roadway.

The overload of the car is determined by the load on each axle: rear plus front. The total is the load of the weight of the car, transmitted through the wheels to the roadbed. Often rear axle The car bears most of the load compared to the front.

In most cases, permits for reloading are not issued. Accordingly, the damage caused to roads is not compensated. At the same time, drivers often do not know about overloading, since consignors indicate underestimated data on the consignment note.

Statistics have confirmed the effectiveness of the introduction of penalties for overload

From 100,000 to 200,000 violations of weight and size standards for trucks are recorded monthly, which leads to billions in damage to the state and taxpayers. In particular, in 2018, more than 20 bridges were damaged by demolition trucks on federal highways. The restoration of each of these objects will take 1.5-2 years.

Since the congestion penalty was introduced, the number of violations traffic rules decreased by 2.5 times. If things go on like this, then at such a pace, then over time, overload on the roads may become a rare occurrence, and their quality will improve significantly.

What served to reduce such offenses, as well as:

1. Reduced the likelihood of accidents because lengthening the stopping distance leads to an accident. It should be noted that the braking distance is lengthened by the inertia of the load and creates a high probability for the car to skid, which is inevitable in rainy weather and ice. And if the load is not secured, then there is a danger of tipping over and then other participants will suffer. traffic.
2. Extended the life of roads, especially in terms of increasing the life of the road before the formation of a rut. The problem of rutting has aggravated in recent years due to the rapid increase in traffic intensity, as well as abnormal temperatures in the summer.
3. Overloading leads to increased wear of parts and components of vehicles, as well as increases fuel and oil consumption.

You can deal with the problem yourself by reading the article to the end to find out how much the Penalty for overload, or use the services of our company.

What is the penalty for overloading in 2019

In case of an overload of more than 2% and not more than 10% on each of the axles and in general

• Vehicle driver (individual) from 1,000.00 to 1,500.00 rubles. (without disqualification).
• Official (responsible) person from 10,000.00 to 15,000.00 rubles.
• Legal entity from 100,000.00 to 150,000.00 rubles.
• In the case of automatic fixation in the amount of 150,000.00 rubles.

In the case of more than 10% and not more than 20% for each of the axles and in general

• Vehicle driver (individual) from 3,000.00 to 4,000.00 rubles. (without disqualification).

The practice of our clients shows, it is necessary to advise drivers on what and how to say, where to sign, and where to put it does not agree. This will not only avoid fines for the company, but the driver will also avoid deprivation of rights.

Such decisions are difficult to challenge on appeal, and even more so in cassation.

In some regions of Russia, there are additional restrictions on reloading for the summer period, as a rule, it begins to operate from the end of May to mid-August.

If the traffic route passes through the regions of the Russian Federation, study the entire route, additional changes and restrictions are possible. The amount is set depending on the severity of violations, and remember! - it is necessary to eliminate an administrative offense in any case, and punishment cannot be avoided.

Car weighing procedure

The procedure for determining the permissible mass of the vehicle at mobile points consists of the following key points:

• The weight of the car is determined exclusively on special equipment, namely the VA-20P scales, corresponding to GOST-R 53228-2009.
• The measurement results should not have an error exceeding plus or minus 20 kg.
• The procedure itself must be carried out in accordance with Federal Law No. 102 "On observance of the uniformity of measurements" and Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 1014 "List of verification tools".

How many weighing attempts

If during dynamic weighing the mass of the car turned out to be outweighed, the truck is stopped and sent to a stationary post for re-weighing.

During the control weighing, the driver must make sure that all officials have permission and certificates for this, and that the equipment is in good condition.

What should be the weight per axle?

• if the car has two axles - 18 tons.
• if three axles - 25 t.
• Vehicle with four axles - 32 t.
• five-axle - 35 t.

The memo to the driver sets the weight limits for the mass per axle with a single arrangement of them with a distance between them of 2.5 meters or more - from 5.5 to 11.5 tons. Read more about weight at the end of the article!

Requirements for the transportation of goods in the Russian Federation

General requirements for the carriage of goods are defined in Sec. 23 of the Rules of the road. Thus, clause 23.1 of the Rules stipulates that the mass of the transported cargo and the distribution of the load along the axles should not exceed the values ​​established by the manufacturer for this vehicle.

When determining the values ​​of the relevant parameters, one should proceed from the characteristics of the vehicle, determined by the manufacturer, indicating:

• carrying capacity - the maximum allowable weight of the transported cargo
  and for passenger car the number of seats and the weight of the transported cargo, depending on the number of passengers transported;
  b) for a bus - nominal and maximum capacity;
• curb and authorized maximum weight of the vehicle;
• distribution of curb and permitted maximum masses along the axes.

One of the most important indicators of the technical characteristics of a vehicle is the value of the axle load, i.e. load on the road, transmitted by the wheels of a single, most loaded axle. This indicator is related both to the mass of the transported cargo and to the distribution of the payload on the vehicle.

Paragraph 23.2 of the Rules imposes on the driver the obligation before starting and during the movement to control the placement, fastening and condition of the load in order to avoid it falling and interfering with the movement. The conditions under which the carriage of goods is allowed are also listed (clause 23.3 of the Rules).

Transportation of bulky, heavy and dangerous goods is carried out in accordance with special rules, liability for violation of which is provided for in Art. Art. 12.21.1 and 12.21.2 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation.

The concepts of heavy and oversized vehicles

disclosed in Art. 3 of the Federal Law "On highways and road activities in the Russian Federation and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation", in which they were included by the Federal Law of July 13, 2015 No. 248-FZ.

A heavy vehicle means a vehicle whose mass, with or without cargo, and (or) the axle load of which exceeds the permissible vehicle weight and (or) the permissible axle load, which are established by the Government of the Russian Federation.

A large vehicle is a vehicle whose dimensions, loaded or unloaded, exceed allowable dimensions established by the Government of the Russian Federation.

Powers and deadlines for the issuance and consideration

Protocols on these administrative offenses are drawn up by officials of the internal affairs bodies (part 1 of article 28.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

Cases of administrative offenses are considered by the head of the state traffic safety inspectorate, his deputy, the commander of the regiment (battalion, company) of the road patrol service, his deputy, employees of the state safety inspectorate.

1. Decrees on cases of these administrative offenses cannot be issued after 2 (two) months from the day the offense was committed.
2. happy day of these offenses should be considered the day of their detection (suppression) by an authorized official.
3. Place of commission commented offenses is determined by the place of their discovery by an authorized official.

How to avoid liability for overload

The solution was found a long time ago and it’s not a secret for anyone, we won’t describe it, watch the video, there are all the answers in the first minutes.

Our legal center deals with issues of fines and liability, if you have any difficulties, please contact us, we will help to resolve 8 495 532 54 57

How to avoid paying a fine from the company

To do this, you need to prove that the employee acted for personal purposes, using a car without the knowledge of the company's management or Individual entrepreneurs are not legally a legal entity, so the fine must be issued as a responsible person, which is much less than a fine for a legal entity.

You also need to remember that at present the movement of a heavy vehicle exceeding the permissible mass of the vehicle or the permissible axle load of the vehicle by no more than 2% without special permission is not administratively punishable.

Administrative responsibility does not arise even in the case when the weight parameters of the vehicle specified in the special permit are exceeded by no more than 2%.

Double fine payment

If you have received a decision to pay a fine under Art. 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, but you did not appeal the decision and did not pay the fine within the period established by law, the inspector of the UGADN or the traffic police may issue a double fine on the basis of Part 1 of Art. 20.25 Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. Therefore, be careful, contact us immediately after receiving the determination (notice) of calling you to draw up a protocol on an administrative offense under Art. 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

What is the minimum fine by the court, how much can be reduced

Clause 2.2 of Article 4.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation allows the court to reduce the imposed fine below the lower limit (half of the minimum amount).

Jurisdiction of administrative cases on overload

According to Art. 22 of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, part 2 of Art. 23.1 Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, cases of administrative offenses under Art. 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, are considered by courts of general jurisdiction. At present, judicial practice in such cases can already be considered formed. The vast majority of claims against carriers and shippers are satisfied by the courts in full. An appeal against such decisions does not lead to their cancellation.

At the same time, it is important to understand that argues for a disgusting road, lack of signs, etc. are in no way connected with the overload and have no prospects in court in case of challenging the administrative fine for overload.

Who gave a bribe

Convicted each for committing crimes under Part 3 of Art. 291, p. p. "a, b" part 4 of Art. 291 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, with the appointment of penalties for each: for hours. 3 Article. 291 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in the form of imprisonment for a term of 2 years, with a fine using Art. 64 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in the amount of ten times the amount of a bribe in the amount of 700,000 rubles, and according to paragraphs “a, b” part 4 of Art. 291 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in the form of imprisonment, with the application of Art. 64 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, for a period of 3 years, with a fine in the amount of twenty times the amount of the bribe in the amount of 9,150,000 rubles; on the basis of hours 3 and 4 of Art. 69 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on the totality of crimes, by partial addition of the imposed punishments, F ... and R ..., each was finally sentenced to imprisonment for a term of 4 years, with his serving in a correctional colony of general regime, with a fine of 9.500.000 rubles .

The crimes were committed in 2014 in the city of Moscow under the circumstances detailed in the verdict. At the same time, the average amount of a bribe that a Moscow official receives from business representatives in 2016 increased two and a half times compared to 2015. In 2015, the police recorded a similar double increase compared to 2014 levels. Against the backdrop of falling real incomes of citizens, such an increase in the well-being of corrupt officials is especially impressive, which will be even more impressive by the end of 2017.

The convicts were taken into custody in the courtroom, the verdict resolved the issues of calculating the terms of punishment and material evidence in the case. The appeal and cassation left this decision in force.

Additional penalties for overload

1 . There is also a fine for violation of the paperwork, which is an incorrect indication of the weight of the cargo. The difference between the weight according to the documents and the weight determined by the weights at the site of the administrative violation (distortion).

• Vehicle driver RUB 5,000.00
• Individual entrepreneur from 10,000.00 to 15,000.00 rubles.
• Legal entity from 250,000.00 to 400,000.00 rubles.

2 . Fine for non-compliance with traffic signs. If there are restriction signs on the route.

• Vehicle driver from 2,000.00 to 2,500.00 rubles.

3 . Litigation on causing property damage caused by vehicles transporting heavy cargo on highways Russian Federation” establishes the procedure for compensation for harm (Government Decree No. 934 dated November 16, 2009).

• According to Part 1 of Art. 1079 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation - the obligation to compensate for harm is imposed on a legal entity or citizen who owns a source of increased danger on the basis of ownership, the right of economic management or the right of operational management, or on another legal basis (on the right to rent, by proxy for the right to drive a vehicle, by virtue of the order of the relevant authority to transfer to it a source of increased danger, etc.). In Tyumen, there is a similar unpleasant practice, according to a court decision dated February 3, 2014 in case No. public roads of federal importance in the amount of 207,106 rubles. 30 kop., court costs in the amount of 1628 RUB. 76 kopecks, total 208735 rubles. 06 kop.

Rules for the transportation of oversized cargo

Rules of the road (abbreviated SDA) in paragraph 23.4. state - “If the load on the vehicle protrudes more than 1 meter at the rear or 40 centimeters on the sides, it must be indicated by signs“ oversized cargo ”in the daytime. At night, it is required to additionally install white reflectors or a lantern in front, and equip the load with red reflectors at the back.

But in addition to the traffic rules in the Code of Administrative Offenses, part 2, the following amendment is indicated:

"Transportation of goods that exceed the dimensions entered in the special permit, more than 10 centimeters - entails a fine from 1,500 to 400,000 rubles."

Freight transport overload

Legislatively, overload or non-compliance with dimensions (exceeding) is administratively punishable, liability from a fine to deprivation of a driver's license.

In the "real life" the mass of the car is transferred to the roadway by the wheels of each of the axles and there are two types of axle load:

1. Permissible load on the axle of the transport defined by the manufacturer.
2. Restriction of the load on the axle fixed by law.

The load on the axles of the transport in the sum is the permissible load as provided by the manufacturer and require legal restrictions.

According to the classification, freight vehicles are divided into two types:

1. cars of group A (they are allowed to be used only on the tracks of the first, second and third categories);
2. cars of group B (their operation is allowed on roads of any category).

Permissible axle load for cars of group A ranges from 10 to 6 tons (depending on the distance between the axles). For auto group B, the load can be from 6 to four and a half tons.

According to GOST R 52051-2003, the categories of vehicles intended for the carriage of goods received the following names in Russia: N1 - low-tonnage (up to 3.5 tons), N2 - medium-tonnage (more than 3.5 - up to 12 tons) and N3 - heavy-duty vehicles (over 12 tons).

More about the permissible axle load of groups A and B

№ p/p	Distance between axles
1	over 2	10	6
2	1,65-1,2	9	5,7
3	1,65-1,35	8	5,5
4	1,35-1	7	5
5	up to 1	6	4,5

Attachment 1- the mass of a single vehicle (meaning, without a trailer), with static weighing, should not exceed:

18 tons for a 2-axle vehicle;
25 tons for 3-axle;
32 tons for 4-axle;
35 tons for 5 axles.

Appendix 2- the permissible loads on the axles of the vehicle are indicated, with dynamic weighing.

For single vehicles, with a distance between axles of 2.5 meters, the axle load must not exceed:

6 tons for a road designed for 6 tons;
10 tons for a road designed for 10 tons.

Reference: In European countries, higher loads are set on transport corridors (in Poland and Germany, for example, the permitted weight of road trains is up to 40 tons, and in Slovakia - 44 tons).

How and where to obtain a permit (pass) for the transportation of heavy and oversized cargo

For example, in Moscow, the issuance of special permits for the transport of heavy and (or) oversized cargo along the city’s street and road network is carried out by the Department of Housing and Communal Services and Improvement of the City of Moscow in the “one-stop shop” mode (see Regulations for the preparation and issuance of special permits for the transport of heavy and (or) large-sized cargoes along the street and road network of the city of Moscow, approved by Decree of the Government of Moscow dated August 24, 2010 No. 735-PP).

Issues of organizing the movement of vehicles carrying bulky and heavy cargo, as well as requirements for technical condition, equipment of vehicles and designation of cargo are set out in the Instructions for the transportation of oversized and heavy cargo by car on the roads of the Russian Federation, approved. Order of the Ministry of Transport of Russia dated May 27, 1996 No.

Overloading a vehicle means exceeding the permitted or standard weight. If the overload exceeds the legal limit, the driver or owner of the car faces administrative sanctions. In this material, we will analyze under what conditions the excess of the permissible mass or axle load of the machine will be punished, and what the penalty for overload is provided for by law.

What are the consequences of overloading a truck

Exceeding the permissible dimensions or weight characteristics entails not only a decrease in the stability of the machine and a safety hazard for the driver. The release of an overloaded vehicle into operation entails the following negative consequences:

• excessive load on the roadway leads to its damage and destruction;
• unauthorized weight gain truck or axle load creates a danger when driving on ferries, bridges, pontoons and other suspended structures;
• the presence of excess weight on the car makes unpredictable behavior on the road, increases the stopping distance, entails the danger of overturning the vehicle on a turn, etc.

Note! Overloading the machine can be legalized by obtaining a special permit. When issuing this document, the permitted route of movement, the maximum permissible weight of the car, and other parameters are taken into account.

Truck base weight and standard axle load are determined by the manufacturer. The possible excess of these parameters depends on a special permit, which the driver of a heavy vehicle must have with him while traveling on the roads.

The law establishes measures of influence not only for the operation of overloaded vehicles. Depending on the circumstances, punishment will follow:

• illegal movement with excess weight characteristics on the roads;
• loading of cargo causing excess of the permitted weight characteristics;
• entering deliberately false data into the transport and accompanying documentation;
• other types of violations related to exceeding the mass or permissible load on the axle of the machine.

In view of these circumstances, not only the driver, but also his employer (enterprise or individual entrepreneur), loading company and other entities can be responsible for traffic violations.

What is the fine for overloading a truck

Citizens, officials, organizations and entrepreneurs will be responsible for the violation. Accordingly, the amount of the fine will depend on the status of the offender and the nature of the offense committed. Consider how much the penalty for overload threatens in 2018 under various circumstances of the violation.

For individuals

As a rule, a fine for overloading a truck is assigned to a driver who was stopped on a contract while driving. Since the weight characteristics are subject to an accurate assessment, the driver is invited to weigh the car at stationary or mobile measuring points. Depending on the identified excess weight, sanctions for individuals will be assigned in the following amounts:

• if the weight excess is fixed within 2-10%, the sanction will be from 1 to 1.5 thousand rubles;
• when using data from an automatic weighing system and photographic means, a fine for a similar overload for the owner will be imposed in the amount of 150 thousand rubles;
• with an excess of 10 to 20%, the fine for the driver will be from 3 to 4 thousand rubles, and for the owner - 300 thousand rubles;
• a fine for overloading a truck of 20-50% entails a penalty of 4-5 thousand rubles. or deprivation of rights for up to 3 months, and for the owner - 400 thousand rubles;
• the maximum amount of punishment will follow if the excess of weight characteristics exceeded 50% - the driver will receive a fine of 7-10 thousand rubles. or deprivation of rights up to 6 months.

Note! If the driver is not the owner of the truck, he is not punished when using automatic weighing systems and fixation cameras.

Thus, if an excess of weight or axle load of no more than 2% is recorded, measures of influence are not applied to individuals. Such a deviation of the mass is acceptable and may be the result of an error in metering devices.

For legal entities

Traffic police fines for reloading will be significantly higher for legal entities - owners of vehicles. Depending on the above weight characteristics, sanctions will be assigned within the following limits:

• if the weight excess is fixed within 2-10%, the sanction will be from 100 to 150 thousand rubles;
• with an excess of 10 to 20%, the fine on the enterprise will be from 250 to 300 thousand rubles;
• a fine for overloading a truck in the amount of 20-50% entails a penalty of 350-400 thousand rubles;
• the maximum fine threatens for exceeding the weight by 50% - the company will be obliged to pay to the budget from 400 to 500 thousand rubles.

The fact of violation will be recorded in the procedural protocol, and the exact amount of the sanction will be determined by the court.

Fine payment methods

Even if you agree with the identified violation, penalties do not need to be paid at the place where the protocol was drawn up. If a violation is detected by a traffic police officer, the protocol will be sent to court. The violator is obliged to pay the fine imposed by the court voluntarily - this is given no more than 60 days.

For decisions made according to the data of photo and video recording cameras, payment is made according to the decisions of traffic police officials. If the penalty is not repaid within 60 days, bailiffs will take over the enforcement.

Permission to exceed the weight of the cargo

If the operation of transport is associated with regular or one-time reloading of a truck, a special permit must be issued. This document is issued according to the following rules:

• depending on the departmental affiliation of the road, the permit will be issued by municipal, regional or federal authorities in the field of road facilities;
• to obtain permission, you need to submit a scheme and agree on the route of traffic;
• for certain categories of cargo, it is necessary to coordinate the escort of the traffic police, otherwise the permit will be invalid.

Note! The permit is issued for a certain period, which will be indicated in the document. Untimely renewal of the permit will result in sanctions, as in its absence.

The driver is required to present the permit document to traffic police inspectors at stationary posts or when stopping on the road. The content of the document will indicate the permissible weight of the truck or the permitted axle load - these parameters will be used to detect overload.

What threatens to evade administrative punishment for overloading the car

In addition to the imposition of sanctions under Art. 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the following consequences may occur for the driver or owner of heavy vehicles:

• the car can be placed in a car impound, and for storage you will need to pay for the services of a special institution;
• the activities of an enterprise or individual entrepreneur may be suspended administratively;
• if the fine is not paid voluntarily within 60 days, the penalty will be doubled by court order.

It is extremely difficult to challenge the punishment, since metering devices are regularly checked and certified, and their readings have a low error. To challenge it, it is advisable to seek help from professional lawyers who will help identify violations of substantive and procedural law.

Summary

What is the penalty for overloading a car? According to Art. 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation punishable by exceeding the weight characteristics of more than 2%, and the most serious fine will be imposed for overloading more than 50%. Depending on the circumstances of the violation, punishment is assigned to the driver or the company that owns the truck. A special permit will help to eliminate the claims of traffic police officers, which indicates the maximum permissible overload.

The penalty is applied for various deviations from the norm for various categories of entities (citizens, legal entities, individual entrepreneurs).

I list them in the table below:

In addition, in case of violation of the restrictive requirements indicated on the road by the relevant signs, the driver will have to pay a fine of 5 thousand rubles.

Signs for limiting the mass of vehicles on a separate section of the road

Permissible weight limits for single trucks

The table below shows the standards for the total mass that is acceptable for a single freight transport.

Gazelle and similar vehicles

The legislative framework establishes the maximum permissible values ​​for the total weight and axle load for heavy and large vehicles.

GAZ-2705, GAZ-3221 minibus, GAZ-2752 Sobol do not belong to this type of vehicles, their technical characteristics, including curb weight and maximum permissible weight, are below the levels provided for heavy vehicles.

Therefore, penalties for overloading in relation to drivers of such vehicles can be applied according to the representative of the traffic police in accordance with Art. 12.21 Administrative Code of the Russian Federation - warning or imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of 500 rubles.

In case of non-compliance with the rules for the carriage of passengers:

• From 500 to 1000 rubles"Violations of the rules for the transportation of people" Art. 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
• From 1500 rubles for drivers, from 10,000 rubles - for officials and from 25,000 rubles - for legal entities and individual entrepreneurs"Violation of the requirements for ensuring the safety of transportation of passengers and baggage, cargo by road and urban ground transport» Art. 12.31.1. Code of Administrative Offenses.

cargo tow truck

In accordance with Federal Law No. 257 (clause 17, article 3), a cargo tow truck (tractor) can be considered as a heavy vehicle, both due to the design and technical characteristics of the vehicle itself, and in connection with the transportation of heavy cargo.

This means that when moving cargo in the form of another vehicle (in this case it is cargo), the rules provided for by Decree No. 272 ​​- on the maximum permissible total mass and maximum permissible axial loads must be observed.

In case of non-compliance with these requirements for the tow truck, as well as for other trucks (for example, overweight of cargo by total mass), liability arises in accordance with paragraph 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses:

• 1-1.5 thousand roubles. for ordinary citizens.
• 10-15 thousand roubles. - for officials.
• 110-150 thousand roubles. - for legal entities.

How to avoid a fine

The passage of heavy cargo vehicles on the roads of Russia is allowed without a special permit only if the total permissible weight of the vehicle or the load on each axle does not exceed the normative values ​​by more than 2%.

In all other cases, in order to avoid impressive fines for overloading, a special permit must be issued before leaving the track.

Does the penalty change when an overload is fixed by automatic mode

If the fine is imposed in automatic mode, then the notice of collection is sent to the name of the owner of the vehicle - in maximum size provided for in the relevant regulation.

For example, if an ordinary citizen-owner of a truck is manually fined at the minimum value (1-1.5 thousand rubles), then when the violation is auto-fixed, the penalty will be the maximum amount (150 thousand rubles).

Is it possible to challenge

If you have documented evidence showing that there are no violations under Article 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, all that remains is to go to court. In this case, a statement of claim must be filed with all documents confirming your innocence attached.

In the event that a fine has been issued for overloading the vehicle axle, it is also possible to challenge it in court, although practice shows that this may be more difficult than contesting the total weight of the truck. To do this, you must have a weighing protocol produced by a traffic police officer, as well as perform the following actions yourself:

1. Make a calculation distribution of the produced load along the axles of the vehicle using specialized software (such programs can be found on the Internet).
2. Submit to court the received calculation together with the statement of claim, as well as the protocol of weighing.

As a rule, in such situations, the court appoints an additional examination, the conclusions of which may positively affect the court's decision.

This also applies when the overload is set automatic systems weights, even here errors and inaccuracies can be made. And if the company that owns the truck has documents confirming the absence of overload, it is worth trying to defend your point of view in court.

This is justified even if the services of a lawyer are used, since the fee for his services can be significantly lower than the fine itself. Our publication “How to challenge a fine recorded by a camera” will help you defend your rights in court.

Is it possible to cancel or reduce the punishment

Cancellation of the decision issued by the traffic police is possible, and there are two ways to do this:

• Contact the traffic police with a complaint about the cancellation of the decision (to a higher traffic police authority).
• File a complaint with the court in order to cancel the decision (your district court at the place of registration individual or at the place of the incident, or the arbitration court, if the fine is imposed on a legal entity).

Important point! The decision to impose a fine shall enter into force 10 days after its receipt. You must file an appeal within this period, otherwise you must have documentary evidence proving that it was impossible to meet this deadline in your case (due to objective reasons, for example, absence from the country, illness of the applicant, etc.)

It is also possible to reduce the amount of the fine - thanks to current rule payment: within the first 20 days after a traffic violation order is issued, this can be done with good savings. How to pay half the penalty instead of the full amount - our article about 50% discounts.

It makes sense to keep receipts or other payment documents indicating the payment of a fine for reloading for 3 years -.

Additional punishments

Impressive fines are provided for overloading vehicles today, but this violation may entail other types of penalties:

1. Loss of driver's license: in accordance with Art. 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, the driver may be deprived of the rights for a period of 2 to 3 months for exceeding the mass of the vehicle or the load on the axle of the vehicle by 20 to 50%, as well as for a period of 4 to 6 months (if the mass or load is more than 50 %). Who can deprive, the procedure and terms of the procedure - read about this in.
2. Detention or evacuation TC: in accordance with Art. 27.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses “Detention of a vehicle” in case of violation of the rules for operating the vehicle, provided for in Art. 12.21.1, vehicle detention is applied. If by technical specifications The vehicle cannot be moved or placed in a specialized parking lot in the event of an administrative offense under part 1, , , or 6 of Article 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, the detention is carried out on the road using blocking devices.

Detention or evacuation means the exclusion of the vehicle from traffic by moving it with the help of another vehicle and placing it in a specialized parking lot, as well as subsequent storage in a specialized parking lot until the reason for the detention is eliminated.

To avoid a fine,

Keep in mind that without any additional permits, only vehicles whose mass with or without cargo and (or) whose axle load does not exceed the permissible mass of the vehicle and (or) the permissible axle load by more than 2% can move on the roads - Federal Law of November 8, 2007 No. 257.

Below is a summary of the rules, the observance of which will help to avoid punishment.

Dependence of the load on the category of roads and transport

• Group A- these vehicles can only be used on the routes of the first three categories (categories I, II, III).
• Group B- This vehicle can be used on all roads.

All regulations for reloading vehicles are based on this division. Before setting off with a load along the intended route, it is important to study which categories of roads you have to drive on, since the axle load standards on different roads will be different.

In addition to the norm of the load on the axles, the legislation today also prescribes the norms for the maximum allowable weight truck, which are the same for all types of roads.

The values ​​of the maximum load on the axles of freight transport

When driving a freight vehicle on highways with restrictions of 11.5 tons, 10 tons and 6 tons, the axle load must be taken into account, which will be different for these roads. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the type of wheels and the distance between the axles.

These norms are detailed in the table - Appendix 2 to the Rules for the carriage of goods by road (PP No. 272).

Maximum permissible dimensions

In addition to the allowable weight standards, Decree No. 272 ​​also provides for the maximum allowable dimensions of freight transport.

Summing up

• Permissible deviation of the maximum permissible mass of the vehicle is no more than 2%.
• When the permissible weight is exceeded TC more than 2% such a vehicle must have a special permit.
• Allowable Weight Calculation is carried out both in relation to the total mass of the freight vehicle, and in relation to the load on the axles of the truck.
• Fines for overloading trucks reach 500 thousand rubles, and the subjects of penalties may be drivers, carriers, officials.
• Additional penalties in relation to overloaded vehicles, it is also provided for, this is the deprivation of driver's rights and the evacuation of the car.
• Automatic systems weighing are increasingly being introduced into our lives, which allows you to control the overload without stopping the vehicle.
