The Moscow Ministry of Transport told what to do when evacuating a car and whether it is possible to avoid a car seizure.
The main thing is that it is possible to avoid moving the car to the impound. If the tow truck has not yet been moved, the car must be returned. To do this, you need to go to the inspector and provide documents for the car.
However, you still have to pay a fine for parking in the wrong place (3,000 rubles in Moscow and St. Petersburg, 1,500 in the rest of Russia). The protocol is drawn up on the spot and then a “congratulations letter” is sent by post. There is also a 50% discount if the fine is paid within 20 days.
But if the tow truck has already loaded the car and started driving, then you will have to return the car from the seizure and even pay extra for the transportation itself.
- “Drive” can be read in Viber.
