Criminal liability awaits all drivers in Russia who systematically drive a car without a driver’s license. Such a standard is now included in Article 264(3) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. “The driving of a vehicle by a person who has been deprived of the right to drive and is subject to administrative penalties or has a criminal record.”
Motorists who have previously been deprived of their rights and have already received an administrative fine for this will be fined from 150-200 thousand rubles, up to 360 hours of hard labor, hard labor up to one year or imprisonment up to one year . Whatever preventive measure the judge chooses, the driver has a criminal record.
In addition, according to part 2 of art. 264.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, criminal liability arises for driving a vehicle by a driver who has a criminal record for committing an offense under paragraph “c” part 2, paragraph “c” part 4 or paragraph “c” part 6 of art. 264 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Violation of the traffic rules and the operation of vehicles”), or pursuant to Art. 264.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
Here the fine is from 200 to 300 thousand rubles, and the maximum penalty in this case is two years in prison.
Incidentally, previous social activists suggested introducing a point system of fines to reduce the number of traffic violations and prevent malicious violations.
