Responsibility for using the phone while driving is laid down in the Code of Administrative Violations of the Russian Federation. The traffic police again reminded of the amount of the fine. It is one and a half thousand rubles.
Violations include any evidence that the driver was holding the phone in his hand. It doesn’t matter if he was typing a text message, recording a voice message or searching for information on the internet.
However, before being fined, the traffic officer must first prove the offense committed. For this purpose, use is made of images from photo or video recording complexes.
Therefore, in some cases it is still possible to avoid a fine. But it only depends on the quality of the photo or video recording equipment. Traffic police officers confirmed in a message in the telegram channel: in case of insufficient quality of the photo with signs of a violation, the drivers will not be held administratively liable.
At the same time, the director has the right to appeal in case of disagreement with the decision. This can be done within 10 days of receipt of the decision.
