Representatives of the Russian Automobile Federation (RAF) proposed changing the regulations on the installation of non-standard “square” plates of type 1A. In this respect reports Kommersant’s newspaper.
Type 1A numbers refer to standard mounting points on Japanese, American and other automobiles. In Russia, plates of this form were allowed to be installed in the rear bumper area in 2020. Deputy Chairman of the RAF Classic Car Committee, plate collector Petr Shlyakhin, sent a letter to Rosstandart and the technical committee of the Road Safety agency, proposing to allow such plates to be installed not only on the rear, but also on the front. car.
According to Shlyakhin, on some cars the standard rectangular license plate needs to be glued on the side, so it can protrude beyond the body and harm pedestrians. In other cases, the license plate may block parking sensors, prevent the engine from cooling, or block external lights. The Association of Manufacturers of State Registered Vehicle Signs supported the proposal, stating that a large number of cars with square numbers on the front are already driving on the roads, despite the fact that it is prohibited (fine for violation is 500 rubles).
Rosstandart said they found the proposal “inappropriate”. The Ministry notes that the design of most cars allows the installation of a regular rectangular number; He said that the use of adapters and frames is also “permitted” and that its illumination is “not provided” when a square state registration mark is installed.
