Is it mandatory to register with the traffic police a reinforced bumper for the UAZ “bread”, which is temporarily installed instead of the standard – for the period of off-road trips in the summer?
Anton, Krasnodar
The head of the Main Directorate for Road Safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Police Lieutenant General Mikhail Chernikov, answers questions from readers. |
Despite the limited time period of using a car with a non-standard bumper, the work on its installation in accordance with the technical regulations of the Customs Union “On the safety of wheeled vehicles” (018/2011) refers to changes in the design of the vehicle, which means: exclusion of parts and appliances not foreseen in the design of a particular vehicle, or installation of parts and appliances performed after the vehicle has been put into service and which endangers road safety.
Such amendments are drawn up at the State Traffic Inspectorate in the manner prescribed by the relevant rules approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of April 6, 2019 No. 413.
Upon completion of the procedure, it is necessary to undergo a technical inspection and obtain a diagnostic card (Article 15 of the Federal Law of August 3, 2018 No. 283-FZ “On the State Registration of Vehicles in the Russian Federation and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation”).
The result of these manipulations is a corresponding entry in the registration certificate, which gives the right to drive the vehicle with the changes made to its design.
At the same time, you should understand that after you put the stock bumper back in place, you will have to go through this procedure again, and therefore every time you replace it.
