Penalty from June 1 for tinting
It is reported that since June 1, the fine for re-tinting has increased by 5,000 rubles. But this is not true. What a fine for toning drivers face today.
According to the latest text of the toning bill, the fine for toning in 2017 was supposed to triple at once - from the current 500 rubles before 1500 rubles, and for a repeated violation - immediately before 5000 rubles

Of the year. It is reported that since June 1, the fine for re-tinting has increased by 5,000 rubles. But this is not true. What fine for toning drivers face today - in the material of the portal Avtospravochnaya.com
What is the fine for toning from January 1, 2018?
The fine for tinting from January 1, 2018 does not change and is 500 rubles, but there are nuances.
Background: From July 1, 2012, a security measure was introduced for drivers driving cars with tinted front windows - removing numbers and prohibiting further operation of the vehicle. The driver could remove the tinting and return the registration plates within 24 hours. Since November 15, 2014, part 2 of Article 27.13 has been completely excluded.
2. In case of violations of the rules for operating a vehicle and driving a vehicle provided for in Articles 8.23, 9.3, Part 2 of Article 12.1, Article 12.4, Parts 2-6 of Article 12.5, Part 2 of Article 12.37 of this Code, the operation of the vehicle is prohibited, while state registration the signs must be removed until the reason for the prohibition to operate the vehicle is eliminated. Vehicle movement is allowed, with the exception of the cases provided for in Article 9.3 and Part 2 of Article 12.5 of this Code, to the place of elimination of the reason for the prohibition of the operation of the vehicle, but not more than within 24 hours from the moment of prohibition of the operation of the vehicle.
Many motorists were delighted that the removal of numbers was canceled and now you can pay a traffic police fine for tinting and continue driving until the next meeting with the inspector. But pay attention to the highlighted text. Together with the exception of the removal of numbers, the possibility of movement to the place of elimination of the malfunction is also excluded.
2.3.1. Before leaving, check and, on the way, ensure that the vehicle is in good technical condition in accordance with the Basic Provisions for the Admission of Vehicles to Operation and the duties of officials to ensure road safety.
It is forbidden to drive in the event of a malfunction of the service brake system, steering, coupling device (as part of a road train), unlit (missing) headlights and rear marker lights in the dark or in conditions of insufficient visibility, a wiper that does not work from the driver's side during rain or snow.
In the event of other malfunctions along the way, with which the operation of vehicles is prohibited by the annex to the Basic Provisions, the driver must eliminate them, and if this is not possible, then he can follow to the parking or repair site, observing the necessary precautions.
That is, the driver of the tinted car can drive the tinted car to the place of repair? No. This possibility is allowed only "When tinting occurs on the way." Sounds funny.
Thus, driving on a tinted car is initially a violation of clause 2.3.1 and such a vehicle does not comply with the Basic Provisions for the admission of vehicles to operation, has a malfunction in the presence of which operation is prohibited. Since this malfunction did not appear on the way, further movement on this vehicle is prohibited.
From November 15, 2014, the driver of a tinted car has only two options. Remove the tinting on site or evacuate the vehicle. Otherwise, the inspector has the right to issue a fine as soon as the vehicle starts moving.
Another argument in favor of the driver of a tinted car, paragraph 5 of article 4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation:
5. No one can bear administrative responsibility twice for the same administrative offense.
It is a delusion. After the inspector stopped and wrote out a fine or protocol, he had already stopped the offense. Driving a tinted car from the post will already be part of another offense. That is, it is impossible to legally leave with toning. For example, if you are fined for speeding, it does not mean that you can continue to drive with speed.
We remind you that tinting is prohibited only on the windshield and front side windows. The rules for installing tinting are also relevant in 2017-2018.
Under what article is a fine for tinting written out?
Responsibility for tinting is regulated by part 3.1 of article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
3.1. Driving a vehicle on which glasses are installed (including those covered with transparent colored films), the light transmission of which does not meet the requirements of technical regulations on the safety of wheeled vehicles -
shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred rubles.

Norms and penalties for toning in 2018
Car glass tinting is still quite common among motorists, although traffic police officers have been actively fighting this phenomenon for a long time. But even despite this, many drivers are in no hurry and are not even going to remove the tint from the windows, because on the one hand, it is convenient - the sun does not shine so brightly, and it is more comfortable in the cabin in the heat.
On the other hand, the fine for toning in 2018 is still minimal; moreover, registration plates are no longer removed even for heavily toned vehicles.
More tinted cars coming soon
The latest amendments to the Administrative Code made it possible for drivers to feel more comfortable, preferring to pay a fine instead of removing the tint film from car windows:
The State Duma is discussing toughening the punishment for tinting from 500 rubles to 1500 rubles for the first case of violation, 5000 rubles for the second case and deprivation of rights from 2 to 6 months if caught for the third time. On July 1, 2015, when some traffic rules were changed, the section on toning was not changed, therefore, a fine of 500 rubles is still in force. And the new punishment is still pending in the State Duma.
However, this does not mean that everyone can tint glass in violation of the current legislation. Therefore, let us remind you what kind of car glass and how you can tint today.
Correct toning
Some drivers believe that it is impossible to darken the car windows at all, but this is not the case. New tint penalties will not be imposed if the latter was carried out in accordance with the following rules:
What else needs to be considered when toning
When deciding to stick a transparent film on glass, one should keep in mind the characteristics of not only this film, but also the glass itself, which will help to avoid a fine for tinting in 2018. The fact is that the light transmission of the glass itself is not one hundred percent. This figure for glass without a film can be, for example, 95%.
Therefore, if you additionally stick on it a film with a light transmission characteristic equal to, say, the same 70 percent, then the total value will already be 65%, which is a violation and turns into an administrative fine of 500 rubles.
So, now you know what a fine for tinting you will have to pay next year for incorrectly tinted car windows. Of course, it has become much easier to avoid punishment, and the risk of removing license plates now also does not exist.
Video: How to avoid a fine for tinting, knowing the intricacies of the measurement rules
Keep in mind, however, that rules are made for a reason, and an overly tinted car can greatly affect driving safety. So, in the dark, the film on the glass can prevent you from noticing a pedestrian in time, for example, at a crossing. And this will not only cut off his life, but also break yours, since the responsibility is on you, and tinting on the windows will turn out to be an aggravating circumstance in this case.
The road services are actively trying to combat the prevention of car window tinting. Drivers tint not only the headlights, but all the glass. Moreover, the darkest films. This leads to an increased risk of road accidents. Therefore, the law approved a fine for tinting. The inspector is allowed to stop the car right on the road and point out the violation to the driver. After all, there are certain standards regarding the light transmission capacity of films for machines.
Tinting according to GOST
It should be understood that there is no legal tinting. Quite often, the glass of the car already from the factory absorbs up to 20% of the light. And when it is rubbed with brushes, this figure rises to thirty percent. Therefore, before gluing the film, it is recommended to measure the light transmittance of the glass itself. This will help you get out of trouble.
Now there is a lot of controversy regarding the increase in the size of fines for darkening car windows. Since January of this year, a new law was expected regarding penalties for this violation. From June 1, 2017, the penalty for tinting should have been increased three times, that is, the sanction would have amounted to 1,500 rubles. Moreover, when duplicating violations, the driver should have been punished by 5 thousand rubles. But, this normative act was never approved.
How to avoid a traffic fine for toning
Changing the fine for tinting up to 5,000 rubles - is it true or not?
5000 for toning
Window tinting is one of the most active discussions of the authorities in recent years. They promised to both completely ban it (for 2018 it is allowed up to 30% blackout), and to allow and even deprive of rights for this. On the other hand, the executive power in the form of the traffic police does not need any new laws - they write out requirements to stop the violation, and the courts, as a result of non-compliance, imprison drivers, and even cancel the registration of the car. But an important discussion is the increase in the fine for tinting - they have already tried to increase it to 5,000 rubles. But how are things today and is the innovation in effect?
Has it entered into force?
So, as of July 23, 2018, there was no change in the fine up to 5,000 rubles. According to the current legislation, the financial sanction is 10 times less - 500 rubles. Such punishment is regulated by part 3.1 of article 12.5 of the Administrative Code and occurs if the light transmission of the glass as a result of tinting is less than 70% (the window transmits less than 70% of all light in any direction), measured only by the Tonic device (or other). The article does not provide, unlike other articles, a warning as an alternative to a fine for toning.
We monitor all changes in Russian legislation on a daily basis and change the materials on the site in accordance with them.
Meanwhile, in addition to the monetary punishment, as we mentioned above, you can run into a demand to stop the offense and even stop the registration of the car. We'll talk about additional "interim" measures below, but for now we'll find out when the change will take place.
What is the new law?
The initiative to increase the fine for tinting from the current 500 rubles appeared back in 2014 - then the deputies for the first time brought up for discussion a proposal to more severely punish those who like to tint the car tightly. But then the new law was rejected.
Further, the government raised this issue several times. The last of the activities to increase the fine to 5,000 rubles is the introduction of a new format of punishment measures for discussion in the spring session of 2018 of the State Duma.
The law itself changes the following:
That is, in fact, in the case of a tinted car, not one fine will be issued, but as many as 2 and in total will be not 5, but 10 thousand rubles:
5,000 fine or deprivation?
As you can see, the new part 3.2 offers a fork of penalties in the form of a fine as an alternative to deprivation. What determines what will be applied in this particular case? This will be influenced by a number of factors, including the circumstances of the violation and the nature of the offender.
Deprivation of rights under the Code of Administrative Offenses is considered a more severe punishment, therefore, in the presence of mitigating circumstances, a fine is imposed, in the presence of aggravating circumstances - deprivation. In practice, everything is also unpredictable.
In particular, in practice, a fine of 5,000 rubles may be imposed instead of deprivation when:
And a few more factors. We covered this issue in a dedicated article.
Who decides?
The court decides to impose a 5,000 fine for tinting or to deprive a "shy" motorist of his rights. But the case first goes to the head of the traffic police department, in whose area you were caught with toning. No ruling is issued on the road.
The traffic police inspector draws up a protocol and announces the time of consideration of the case (analysis) in the traffic police. And already there, the boss decides whether to assign you a fine of 5,000 rubles or send the case to court. An employee cannot independently deprive a driver of his rights - such punishment is available only to a judge. And, if the case is sent to the court, then there for the second time, only now the judge will decide whether to impose a financial penalty or to deprive the driver of the right to drive.
When will it be introduced?
According to the proposed change, it is planned for the first time to increase the fine to 1,500 rubles, and on the second - to write out 5,000 rubles to the driver or to deprive the driver of the right to drive for a certain (not yet approved period). The new law is still under discussion and has not been adopted.
What does "under discussion" mean? And the fact that there is still a long way to go before its official action. Formally, the document has been submitted for discussion to the State Duma. And in order for the new traffic police penalty to be introduced into force, the following events are now possible in order:
- the bill must go through as many as 3 readings in the State Duma, between which there is usually a break of up to several months;
- after the third reading, the new law is signed by the President;
- further, its text should be published on the official government information portals (publication.pravo.gov.ru, rg.ru);
- after publication, it comes into force within 10 days, unless another (longer) period is prescribed in the law itself.
Thus, a new fine for tinting in the amount of 5,000 rubles will appear very soon, and it is not a fact that in 2018.
What else can threaten for toning?
It's no joke, but while the authorities are actively discussing how else to annoy those who like “driving in the night”, traffic police inspectors and judges are already acting and imprisoning such drivers and canceling the registration of their cars.

Fine for toning from June 1, 2017
A new wave of messages has emerged on social media about fine for toning from June 1, 2017 of the year. It is reported that since June 1, the fine for re-tinting has increased by 5,000 rubles. But this is not true. What fine for toning drivers face today - in the material of the portal Avtospravochnaya.com
“New traffic rules from June 1, 2017 will affect tint lovers. If the windows in the car are tinted, then for the first time a traffic police officer will write out a fine of 500 rubles to such a driver. If you re-fix the use of tint film, the fine will already be 5,000 rubles. For the third time, such a violator can be deprived of his rights for up to six months ”. It is with this wording that messages on social networks are circulated, and even some media publish it without bothering to check. In fact, these amendments have not been adopted.
According to the latest text of the toning bill, the fine for toning in 2017 was supposed to triple at once - from the current 500 rubles before 1500 rubles, and for a repeated violation - immediately before 5000 rubles... However, the matter did not go beyond the first reading, and today the fine for tinting in Russia is still 500 rubles. At the same time, there is currently no separate penalty for repeated violation.
Recently, Gazeta.ru, citing its own source, reported that the new law on tinting, mentioned above, postponed indefinitely... At the moment, its adoption is actually suspended until the appointment of a new head of the Russian traffic police, a source said.
That is why, all messages about new fines for tinting with June 1, 2017- fiction.

What is the fine for tinted car windows?
The law on tinting car windows regulates the rules:
In addition, the windshield can be darkened with an opaque dark stripe. However, its width cannot be more than 14 centimeters from the roof of the car.
A responsibility
The amount of the fine for tinted windshield and front side windows today is:
When the traffic police inspector stops the offender, the driver has the right to remove the tint on the spot. Then, the law enforcement officer will not write out the protocol. Accordingly, it will be possible to avoid punishment. There are simply no other ways to evade responsibility. The driver will be constantly stopped on the road and issued fines.
If the driver has no desire to cancel the tinting, the inspector will write out a protocol. With him, you can safely go on. Even if the driver is stopped again, he will simply show the protocol and start driving again without an additional penalty. However, this document can be used only for one day. The next day, the offender may again be issued a protocol for sanctioning tinted windows.
It is important to understand that rules are issued and approved at the legislative level for a reason. In fact, very dark glass leads to frequent accidents and deaths. In the dark, and even with such glasses, it is difficult to see a person who has entered the road. Often, toning leads to the deprivation of the life of one person and fractures in the fate of another. Sometimes, tinting on car windows is an aggravating circumstance. Therefore, it is recommended to once again think about whether it is so necessary.

2018 tint fine: new law
It has been popular among motorists for many years tinted glass machine- on sunny days it perfectly saves from direct rays. In addition, tinted windows hide the details of the life of the driver and passengers from prying eyes. News periodically appears on the network that fine for car tinting in 2018 year will rise several times. Let's try to figure out if this is really so.
What legislative acts regulate the issues of car tinting today? What are the permissible quantitative indicators of glass dimming, what is the responsibility for their violation and can fines be avoided? The answers to these questions can be useful for a wide range of car owners.
The story of the legislative acts, on the basis of which the traffic police make decisions on the admissibility of tinting and fines for their violations, is mysterious and surprising. Until now, the Appendix to the Traffic Regulations mentions GOST 5727-88 "Safety glass for land transport". In clause 2.2.4 it is written that "... the light transmission of windshields of vehicles and trams must be at least 75%, other glasses - at least 70%."
And although, according to all official sources, the validity of this standard (which lasted from 1988 to January 1, 2015) has lost its force, in practice, traffic police inspectors, in the absence of a reference in the traffic rules to another document, are guided by precisely such numbers. What is the reason for the discrepancies and disagreements arising on this basis?
Even the new transparent glass for automobiles has an ideal light transmission of no more than 90% (and in fact does not exceed 85–87%). The best athermal tint films give no more than 80–82% of the light transmittance. Thus, the final light transmission, at best, will be 70-72%, and does not reach the 75%, regulated by GOST 5727-88.
At the same time, athermal tinting of glass (including windshield ones with an indicator of light transmittance less than 75%) began to be actively used by car manufacturers and, apparently, the Government did not dare to massively prohibit the operation of new cars on this basis. And in order to remove the problem, a new GOST 32565-2013 was introduced on 01.01.2015, which established a single threshold value of light transmission capacity - 70% (clause 5.1.2.5).
Moreover, the same threshold is specified in the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union "On the safety of wheeled vehicles" (Appendix 8, clause 4.3), put into effect and mandatory for use also from 01.01.2015. At the same time, mirror tinting is not allowed, and restrictions on the tinting of the rear windows are not imposed.
Thus, a contradiction arose between the standards of light transmission, specified in traffic rules and new regulations. True, the Supreme Court of Russia, when considering case No. AKPI15-382 of July 2, 2015 (dedicated to the consideration of these particular nuances), found that the Main Directorate of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate sent a corresponding explanation to the chief inspectors of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation (letter No. 13 / 7-4126 of June 22, 2015 G).
But this letter contained the phrase that the old GOST is canceled "in the part that allows the use of tinted glass." Subsequently, it was this phrase that played a cruel joke with the plaintiffs in court proceedings for fines for tinting.
The amount of the fine for tinted glass of the car 2018
As of January 1, 2018, the traffic police fine for tinting remained the same - 500 rubles.
Separately, it should be noted that if the fine for toning is not paid within 70 days from the date of imposition, the driver may be held liable:
What is the correct tinting according to the new law
Some conscientious and responsible car owners believe that darken glass it is impossible at all, but it is not entirely true. The new sanctions will not apply if the glass was tinted in accordance with the basic rules:
A driver who does not want to be caught committing an offense should not forget about his rights. Experienced car enthusiasts recommend:
Every citizen has every right to refuse the offer to proceed to the place of toning measurement. The inspector can forcibly deliver a person to him only if he is detained, which cannot be done without good reason ....
Penalty for toning from June 1, 2018
In the spring of 2018, the deputies still plan to return to the issue of growth fine for toning... All the same old initiative, which we mentioned above, will be again put forward for discussion - you will have to pay 10 times more for overly tinted front windows.
According to the new discussion, it is planned to increase the fine for the first time to 1,500 rubles (against 500 today). And in case of a repeated violation, you will have to pay 5,000 rubles. As the legislators themselves assure, the likelihood that the new law will be adopted is quite high.
And everything is the same as it was! For toning, in addition to the fine, everyone will also write out claims to eliminate the offense and cancel the registration. And this is not a joke.
If this is your first time hearing about this, then we will briefly explain the logic of both security measures:

The traffic police fines in force in 2020 for tinting are quite small (500 rubles / with a discount of 250 rubles), numbers for opaque front windows are no longer removed. In the background, or a trifle. Tinting protects from prying eyes, does not let the sun's rays through - what is not a reason to "tint" your car contrary to the rules of the Administrative Code?
In 2019, the legislator will try to increase the fine for tinting to the level of 2500-5000 rubles. The changes are going through the stages of approvals in the State Duma. With this in mind, is it fair to once again clarify the information on this type of fines in 2020?
Car tinting has become widespread since the middle of the 20th century. The technology of darkening glass by applying films, paints and pastes came to the transport industry from architecture, where designers fought overheating of the interior of buildings with the help of window tinting.
Chemists and physicists can easily name several methods of producing darkened glasses at once. In the conditions of large enterprises, glass of cars transparent from the inside and tightly tinted on the outside can be created in dozens of ways. However, in 99% of traffic situations, including those related to traffic fines for toning, fall on the so-called film blackout.
Polymer films of various quality and shades of color in Russia are now the most affordable raw material for the creation of so-called tinted cars. It is possible to make all glass of a passenger car opaque using this technology in our country, having a sum of money of 1000-1500 rubles, for the simplest option.
According to motorists who tint their cars in spite of fines and prohibitions, darkening of car windows contributes to:
- Safety of things left in the car
- Reducing the number of road conflicts
- Fuel savings
- Decrease in temperature
- Reduced glare that distracts from control
- Improving the appearance of cars
It's important to know!
In 2020, as in previous years, full toning of a passenger car is prohibited by the legislation of the Russian Federation. Only the rear hemisphere (rear window and rear side windows) can be completely tinted; in addition, a dark strip in the upper part of the windshield with a width of no more than 140 mm is permissible. The windshield and front side windows must have a light transmission coefficient of at least 70%.
For many motorists, such a proviso in the law serves as a call for pasting the front hemisphere of the car with "weak" films. However, modern cars already from the factory, as a rule, have the maximum permissible level of toning of the front end and additional toning can lead to fines from the traffic police.
Traffic fines for tinting in 2020 constantly want to change. This type of traffic fines is generally one of the most "pendulum" - the legislator either weakens these fines, then introduces additional sanctions. So, even before November 15, 2014, traffic police officers rented numbers for tinting and imposed fines of 1,500 rubles.
In 2020, the fine for dark glasses in Moscow and the Moscow region, Petersburg, Kazan, Krasnodar, Samara, Nizhny Novgorod, Voronezh, Yekaterinburg, the same Chelyabinsk and other cities is set at 500 rubles (that is, the fine for tint with a 50% discount is equal to 250 rubles) and license plates for tinted windows are no longer removed. Some motorists still consider tinted drips to be a serious violation. However, this is about the same as searching on the Internet.
Knowing about such indulgences, wealthy motorists continue to drive tinted, from time to time being caught and paying small fines. Moreover, according to the law, the control of light transmission of car glasses is carried out only at a stationary traffic police post using technical diagnostics. How much such behavior is justified, everyone decides for himself.
Moreover, last year there were proposals to raise the fine for toning up to 5,000 rubles. The authors of the proposals motivate the change in the rules by the fight against the transportation of illegal goods in cars, hidden behind the opaque windows of cars.
However, everything is actually not so simple. A number of lawmakers and experts from the southern regions of the country quite seriously consider tinting to be a useful addition to the car. There is an opinion that the bright sun of the Black Sea and the Caucasus interferes with driving a car more than dark glasses. In a number of warm foreign countries, it is precisely such arguments that were laid in the basis of the legislative permission for tinting. In some cases, for example, in California (USA), car window tinting is a prerequisite for vehicle operation. The authorities believed that the transparent glass caused excessive overheating of the passenger compartment and, as a result, the abuse of air conditioners that increase fuel consumption. There is no penalty for tinted glass, but there is a penalty for lack of tinting!
Tinting Law 2020
Clause 2.2.4 GOST 5727 - 88:
The light transmission of windshields of vehicles and trams must be at least 75%, other glasses - at least 70%.
Part 3.1 of Article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation:
“Driving a vehicle on which glasses are installed (including those covered with transparent colored films), the light transmission of which does not meet the requirements of the technical regulations on the safety of wheeled vehicles, entails the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred rubles. (Part 3.1 was introduced by the Federal Law of 23.07.2010 N 175-FZ).
In the event that you remove the tint at the place where the inspector stopped you, then you can avoid, albeit insignificant, but a fine.
Penalty for tinted rear lights
Tinting the taillights is fine, as is painting or reworking them. In 2020, tinted headlights are expressly prohibited by law. This is indicated in clause 3.6 of the Technical Regulations of the Russian Federation.
3.6. The absence, destruction and contamination of the diffusers of external light devices and the installation of optical elements not provided for by the design of the light device (including colorless or colored optical parts and films) are not allowed.
Repeated tint penalty
In 2020, the Russian legislation does not contain the concept of “repeated fine for toning”. Any cases when a traffic offender is caught in a car with tinted front windows will result in the same fine of 500 rubles. The usual fine for toning in 2020 is always five hundred rubles.
This statement is true for all violations qualified under Article 3.1 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation - "Driving a vehicle on which glasses are installed (including those covered with transparent colored films), the light transmission of which does not meet the requirements of technical regulations."
However, in some cases, traffic police officers qualify tinted car windows in an alternative way. The cunning of the traffic police is described in the section below.
How to pay a fine for toning with a 50% discount.
Since January 1, 2016, Russian motorists have received the right to pay some types of traffic fines with a 50% discount. New laws on fines for tinting until 2020 do not prohibit this either. However, the ability to pay off the fine by paying only half of the original cost has a number of limitations.
A 50% discount on traffic fines applies to all traffic penalties that do not contradict two conditions
- No more than 20 days have passed since the receipt of the resolution (letter).
- The fine is not included in the list of the most socially dangerous types of fines.
List of traffic fines for which there is no 50% discount on payment
- Article of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation 12.1.1.1 - Unregistered car or car without technical inspection
- Article of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation 12.8 - Driving while intoxicated
- Article of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation 12.9.6 - Repeated major speeding within a year
- Article of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation 12.9.7 - Repeated especially large speeding within a year
- Article of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation 12.12.3 - Driving at a red traffic light
- Article of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation 12.15.5 - Repeated exit to the "oncoming" lane within the framework of the year
- Article of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation 12.16.3.1 - Repeated neglect of signs or markings
- Article of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation 12.24 - Traffic accidents with victims
- Article of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation 12.26 - Refusal from a medical examination for a state of intoxication
- Article of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation 12.27.3 - Drinking alcohol after an accident
Note: all ten of the above articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation do not imply a discount on the payment of a fine in the amount of fifty percent. For other fines, including fines for tinting, the discount applies.
The traffic police fine for tinting provided for in part 3.1 of Article 12.5 is 500 rubles. If this penalty is paid within 20 days from the date of receipt of the resolution or a copy of the resolution, the fine will be halved and amount to 250 rubles.
How to challenge a fine for toning
Since the traffic police fine for tinting is not issued by automatic means of fixing road violations, a technical failure in the process of measuring the light transmission of a car glass is extremely unlikely.
Devices such as measuring the light transmittance of glasses "BLIK-N", "BLIK- +" and their analogs used by the traffic police are regularly checked and must have appropriate marks.
To protest, if possible, is rather the procedural side of determining the degree of tinted glass. The approvals for devices used to measure the light transmittance of glasses usually contain an impressive list of restrictions on use - precipitation, temperature, and even the state of the "cigarette lighter" into which a device for measuring tinting can be inserted.
The appeal rules are standard. Within the first ten days after receiving the order on the fine, the motorist goes to the court at the place of the offense and, using the samples provided, fills out the claim form.
The trick of the traffic police
Back in 2017, a lot of regional publications appeared in the press regarding various tricks that traffic police use to issue a fine for tinted car or even arrest a driver for darkening windows.
So, some traffic police officers, if they find a tint film on the windshield and side glass that does not meet the standards of light transmission, will seek to draw up a written warning for you, which will indicate the time frame in which it is necessary to eliminate the cause of the malfunction. If the driver does not try to remove the tinting, then at the next stop by the traffic police, he will receive a protocol with a penalty of a fine of 1000 rubles or more or arrest for up to 15 days.
Way out
It so happened that at the moment the traffic police scarves for toning are not draconian. Whatever you twist, but 250 rubles 1-2 times a month after stopping at a stationary post is a small amount even for a very modest motorist - a regional.
It's not about the laws and fines for tinting, but about your personal responsibility for safety in the car in front of yourself and your loved ones. Driving with tinted windshields at night significantly increases the risk of an accident.
The most optimal tinting option is partial darkening of car windows. The rear hemisphere of the car, opaque on the outside, will protect you and your loved ones from sidelong glances and help preserve the property left in the car. Car rear window tinting is completely legal in 2020.
Tinting of car windows began many years ago. Car glass tinting continues today. This procedure is quite popular among motorists, despite the fact that the traffic police are trying with all their might to fight it. But many car owners are in no hurry and are not at all going to remove the tint film from the windows of their cars. It is very convenient: the interior of the car heats up less in the sun, you can drive without sun glasses, and the drivers joke that tinted windows are the key to a happy family life. What is the situation with the tinting of car windows in 2019 and is it possible, in which case, to get off with only a fine?
The current situation with window tinting and fines for it
On Russian roads today you can see a lot of cars and trucks, the windows of which are tinted. At the same time, tinting can be different: from practically impenetrable light filters to a light coating. In the recent past, it was very popular to tint glass with a mirror film, which often dazzled other road users. But today, mirror tint can be seen only in deep provinces.
Interestingly, in such advanced countries as the USA, Canada, Great Britain and Japan, mirror tinting of cars is absolutely not prohibited. Equally, it is not forbidden to use chrome-plated auto parts, which can glare quite significantly in the sun, creating inconvenience to other drivers. Moreover, a car enthusiast can even use a completely chrome-plated car body, since the law does not prohibit this. I must say that the sun in some of these countries shines much stronger than on the roads of the Russian Federation.
At various times, traffic police officers tried to fight more or less tough with car tinting. It even went as far as removing license plates from cars with tinted windows. In other periods, practically no attention was paid to tinting. Oddly enough, everything was determined by a command "from above", as in the good old days of the Soviet Union, when any action was initiated from above and took the form of all-Union hysteria.
When tinting glass, quality is important
Last year, the Russian government nevertheless decided to seriously tackle traffic violators and was going to introduce stricter liability, including for improper tint of car windows. In particular, a law has been developed on a significant increase in fines for incorrect tinted front and side windows of cars, providing for a threefold increase in penalties. Information about such a bill blew up social networks and a significant part of the driving community in Russia. At the same time, different dates were called: January 1, June 1, or July 1 of the current year. The situation was fueled by the fact that in December last year the State Duma adopted some amendments concerning the law on tinting. This action was initiated by the first deputy chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Lysakov. The latest version of the draft law, voiced in the State Duma, assumed an increase in the fine for toning the front and side up to three times: from today's 500 rubles. up to one and a half thousand rubles. In the event of a repeated violation, the driver would have to replenish the Russian budget by 5,000 rubles. But let us reassure especially interested drivers: the case did not progress beyond the first reading. Therefore, today, the fines for tinting under the new laws of 2019, as before, are no more than 500 rubles. (part 3.1 of article 12.5 of the Administrative Code). There is no separate penalty for a repeated violation. Naturally, the rumors about the adoption of new norms of the law on tinting caused especially zealous actions of the traffic police, who began to conduct raids, the purpose of which was to identify and punish drivers of cars with incorrectly tinted windows.
The prescription for tinting, that is, the requirement to eliminate the offense within 5-20 days (remove the tinting), is considered a more severe punishment than a fine, but this part of the law is so vague and has many loopholes and nuances that most inspectors usually get by with a receipt for a fine.
For the sake of fairness, it should be said that only last year, several changes were made to the Russian Traffic Regulations regarding the registration of cars, the issuance of driver's licenses, the transportation of children, the operation of vehicles by persons who received a license less than two years ago, and so on. Therefore, no one can guarantee that in the near future the proposed draft law will not be approved and that a change in the rules for tinting and an increase in fines for incorrect tinting will not become another norm of Russian legislation.
What are the norms and standards of tinting in Russia today
It should be clarified that the prohibition on tinting and fines for it do not relate to tinting as such, but only violations of certain rules established by law.
And in order to understand the permitted norms for tinting car windows, it is important to know the following: the rear window of a car can be tinted in any way and with any rate of light transmission. The same rule applies to the rear side windows of the vehicle. The upper part of the vehicle windshield can be tinted with a transparent film (no wider than 14 cm), its light transmission can be any. The side windows of the car can also be tinted, taking into account that their light transmission will not be less than 70%. The new GOST has been in effect since 2015; before that, the old GOST standards required adherence to the light transmission rate, which allowed a light transmission level of at least 75%.
Before deciding to stick a transparent filter film on a car glass, it is necessary to understand the characteristics not only of the film itself, but also of the car glass itself. This will help get away from penalties for tinting. The light transmission of automobile glass is not a static value. The role is played by the quality of the glass, its manufacturer and so on. For example, glass without a film can have a light transmittance of about 95%. Therefore, when gluing an additional film with light transmission characteristics equal to, for example, 70% to such glass, the final light transmission characteristic will already be 65%. This will become a violation and may result in an administrative fine of half a thousand rubles.
Legally permissible tinting of automobile glass is determined by the corresponding GOST 32565–2013. This document regulates the degree of tinting of the windscreen, side, rear side and rear windows of the car. The provisions of this document do not apply to vehicle lighting devices. The GOST takes into account everything - from the quality and characteristics of the automotive glass itself and to its manufacturer (taking into account all possible ones). It also specifies the technical characteristics of the film used for tinting.
It is also necessary to take into account who is toning and where exactly the toning is carried out. Poor performance of the task by the craftsmen can lead to a deviation from the established norms of toning and light transmission, even when the characteristics of the film and car glass used for tinting should theoretically be within acceptable limits. Therefore, it is advisable to check the characteristics of light transmission after gluing the light-protective film and before entering the highway, where the traffic police inspector may give an unpleasant surprise when stopping.
It is important to understand that tint the rear window of a car to any degree of light transmission is possible only if this vehicle is equipped with two rear-view mirrors, allowing the driver to clearly see the traffic situation behind his car.
An important nuance: Rosstandart indicated that the strip of light-protective film, glued to the upper part of the windshield, should have a width of no more than 14 cm and at the same time any light transmission. There are times when selfish traffic police officers try to "dilute" uninformed drivers by measuring the light transmittance in the upper part, sealed with a film. As a rule, it does not comply with the norms. So, if the width of the strip pasted on the front is not more than 14 cm, then such actions are illegal.
How and where the light transmittance of the front and side windows of the car is measured
When checking the light transmission of car windows, the traffic police is guided by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 1240. This document concerns the norms of technical re-equipment of vehicles. Some of its provisions were canceled in 2014 by order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 1123, but the provisions on checking the degree of light transmission continue to apply.
To check the technical condition of the car, technical diagnostic tools should always be used. They must be entered in the State Register, which indicates all types of means used for measurement. These devices must have certificates of conformity, documents stipulated in the law for periodic performance checks.
It looks like a device for testing the light transmission of car glass
The light transmittance of automotive glass can only be measured when its surface is clean and dry. Accordingly, measurements cannot be taken in rainy weather or on dirty car windows. The driver who was stopped by the traffic police to check the technical condition of his vehicle, including the light transmission of the glass, should first of all be asked to provide the necessary documents: a certificate of conformity, a document on the last check of the technical condition of the device. In addition, the traffic police officer must have permission to carry out such actions and have a corresponding certificate. If any of the above documents is missing, then any verification results are automatically illegal and can be challenged in court. When checking, the driver should be sure to look at the sensors attached to the glass; they should not have any artificial darkening and external film. If, in the opinion of the driver, the device is not accurate, it may require a second measurement. In this case, the traffic police inspector must conduct him in the presence of two attesting witnesses. Moreover, all the problems of finding them fall on his shoulders with shoulder straps. If the inspector who stopped the driver begins to delay the search for people who can become understood, then he should be reminded of Article 28.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, which states that a long delay in the car when drawing up a protocol is unlawful. You can also suggest calling the police and talking to their immediate supervisor. In the event that the inspector realizes that he is clearly violating the norms of the law, he will immediately lose interest in this driver.
The device for measuring the light transmittance of automobile glass, in addition to the valid certificate and documents on the inspection of the technical condition, must be sealed. If not, then you can go further with peace of mind and refuse to take measurements. As a rule, when measuring the light transmittance, a portable device "Blik" is used. The power source is often the car's cigarette lighter and the device works confidently when the voltage of the internal network is 12 volts. One of the ways to get away from measuring the light transmission is to inform the traffic police inspector that the battery of this car is very weak and therefore is not able to deliver the required power. You can ask a traffic police officer to drive a company car and connect to its electrical system. The device can only be used at temperatures that start from -10 and go up to + 40 degrees Celsius. The measurement should be made at least at three different points of the glass to be measured. The indicator of light transmittance will mean in this case the arithmetic mean. The driver should be careful at every step of the measurement. If he notices any mistake of the inspector, then it is undesirable to pay attention to it immediately. But you should inform about the mistakes made by the traffic police inspector when drawing up a protocol, where you describe them in detail. In this case, it is much easier to defend your rights. At a minimum, a second measurement will be required with the participation of attesting witnesses.
It should be understood that in the Traffic Rules, toning norms are spelled out for a reason. Despite the obvious advantages, tinted glass also has its drawbacks. Excessive toning can have a significant impact on driving safety. For example, when making a trip in the dark, tinted windows can interfere with timely notice of an obstacle or, for example, a pedestrian at a pedestrian crossing. This can interrupt not only his life, but also break the driver's life, since the responsibility is on him. In this case, excessive tinting on the windows of the vehicle will become an aggravating circumstance when the court makes a decision on the punishment.
Can a driver challenge the actions of a traffic police officer
If the driver believes that the actions of the traffic police officer to measure the light transmission of the car's glass were illegal, then he can challenge them in court within 14 days. In addition to the above requirements of the law and nuances when checking, drivers should know the following:
- the measurement of the light transmittance of automobile glass can be carried out only at a stationary post;
- atmospheric pressure should be from 650 to 790 mm., air humidity should not exceed 80%. If the humidity is higher, then the light transmittance of the glass should be measured in a dry room. When measuring, the traffic police inspector must first take measurements of atmospheric pressure, temperature and humidity levels. In addition, he must communicate these data to the driver whose car is being checked;
- the certificate of conformity of the device and documents on its technical verification must be available from the traffic police inspector in the original, copies cannot be used.
Any device that measures the light transmittance of glass is called a taumeter. There are several more certified taumeters with which the traffic police can measure light transmission, but in the overwhelming majority of cases, the above "Blik" is used.
A few examples
To understand how all of the above works in practice, here are a few examples.
First
A traffic police officer drew up a protocol for incorrect tinting of car windows, while not measuring their light transmission with a special device. Is it possible to appeal against such a protocol in court? Sure. This should be done within 14 days and the driver will certainly be justified if measurements were not taken with the device.
Second
Having stopped the minibus, the traffic police inspector measured the tint film applied to his windshield. Its width was 17 cm. As a result, the inspector drew up a protocol in which a fine of 500 rubles was imposed on the taxi driver. Then the traffic police officer drove to a motor transport company that owns this vehicle. His auto mechanic also received a fine of 5,000 rubles for releasing vehicles unusable on the line. In this case, the actions of the traffic police officer were absolutely legal, since the responsibility for the technical condition of the route taxi is borne by the auto mechanic, and the driver is solely responsible for the management.
Third
The traffic police inspector stopped the car to check its technical condition and, in particular, the light transmittance of the glass not at the stationary traffic police post. Its requirements to measure the light transmittance of glass are illegal. In this case, the driver may refuse to take measurements or require them to be carried out at a stationary post, which will still need to be reached.
Fourth
The car was stopped at a stationary post after a light rain. The traffic police inspector did not first check the humidity and air temperature, as well as atmospheric pressure. Measurement of the light transmittance of car glass showed that it exceeds the norm and is 72%. Accordingly, a protocol and a fine were issued. In this case, the driver has every reason to appeal the protocol in court, since no measurements were taken of the weather conditions, which are a necessary component of this procedure. With a high degree of probability, the court will decide in favor of the driver.

To pay or not to pay: that is the question
Practice says that the traffic police sometimes forgets about minor violators, therefore, within the specified period (and it is 80 days), the notice does not always come to the violator. He has the opportunity to "knock off" the statute of limitations. The Code of Administrative Offenses says that the statute of limitations for administrative fines for violation of traffic rules comes in two years. The two-year limitation period begins from the moment the decision on payment of the fine is delivered to the violator. If the decision was appealed in court, then the limitation period begins its countdown from the date of the court decision. If there was an attempt to appeal to a higher court, then the limitation period begins from the moment of its decision. Two years later, the demands of the authorities to pay this fine will no longer be legal. Although he will continue to be listed as an offender in the traffic police database. In this case, a tarnished reputation will be the only way that a fine can harm the driver. There are also several bureaucratic nuances that can help not to pay the fine legally. This can be done in the event that the order on the fine was issued within a period exceeding 60 days from the date of the traffic violation. A similar rule applies in the case when the decision of the court of first instance was appealed, and the Court of Appeal issued its decision later than 90 days from the date of the violation. If someone is afraid that an unpaid fine will become the reason for a ban on traveling abroad, then he can be relatively calm: this will require an appropriate court decision, and the minimum amount of an unpaid fine should exceed 10 thousand rubles.
At the same time, the fine for incorrect tinting of car windows is only 500 rubles and it can be considered relatively small. If the fine is paid within 20 days from the moment of drawing up the protocol, then it will be halved. Therefore, it is still better to act according to the law.
Like any technical re-equipment of a car, the tinting of its glass should be done correctly and in accordance with the norms of Russian legislation. This will help to avoid many problems on the road and unpleasant moments in communication with traffic police inspectors. By the way, similar norms and penalties exist in the neighboring countries of Russia: Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Belarus. The question is to what extent they are observed and monitored by road safety services. According to experts' forecasts, the tightening of penalties for improper tinted glass in the Russian Federation will still occur.
At the beginning of 2017, the most significant changes in traffic rules came into force. All the latest innovations, according to the traffic police, will have a positive effect on road safety.
What is tinting and why do car owners use it?
There is hardly a motorist who does not want to additionally protect his car for an adequate price. One of the affordable and not very expensive methods is tinting. Its use avoids direct sunlight from entering the passenger compartment, causing it to overheat, and also partially ensures confidentiality. Toning is a special film coating for glass, which minimizes its light transmission capacity and, as a result, limits direct sunlight during the operation of the car.
This quality of the shading material was liked by almost all vehicle owners, and they are happy to use it in practice. However, the law contains norms that regulate shade glasses and, if this figure is higher, then the driver faces a fine... There is a GOST for the use of toning material. It allows you to determine the acceptable toning performance. Before using it, it is important to familiarize yourself with the following provisions of the regulatory document:
In accordance with GOST 32565-2013 light transmittance of automobile glass cannot be less than 70%... This standard is relevant both for windshields and for providing the driver with a view to the front and rear.
In the presence of 2 outside rear-view mirrors, the light transmission of the rear windows is not regulated. In this case, the width of the tint strip on the windshield should not exceed 140 mm.
To check the level of light transmission by traffic police inspectors, taumeters are used. At the moment, representatives of the state traffic inspectorate use the models " Light», « Glare», « Tonic". The taumeters issued to the traffic police are tested annually, after which a stamp is put on the devices, on which the date of the next test and the personal seal of the inspector are stamped. In addition, a certificate is issued for the device based on the test results. In this case, there is a guarantee that after the check, reliable data is displayed on the display, correctly showing the percentage of light transmission of the glass. ( Art. 26.8 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation; p. 22 of the List approved By the Resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated 05.12.2008).
Many drivers disregard the rules with enviable tenacity anyway, since the dark film provides the following advantages:
- Protects car owner's property from prying eyes located in the car. This property of the film is still relevant, since at the moment small fraudsters are actively engaged in theft from cars. Tinted windows make them partially ignore tinted vehicles.
- Reduces refueling costs in summer... Thanks to her, the interior is additionally protected from the penetration of some part of the infrared rays, which are active heat carriers. The ability of toning to delay, together with the visible spectrum, the IF-radiation allows less frequently turning on the air conditioning system of the passenger compartment.
- Reduces the risk of a driver getting into an accident after being blinded by the headlights of oncoming vehicles.
However, the benefits of using this additional glass protection are not a good reason to ignore the laws. Moreover, the state is tightening measures against violators, hoping in this way to stimulate compliance with the rules.
2017 has become one of the most significant year for motorists in terms of the adoption of a new law regulating the rules for tinting car glass. In November 2016, there were reports that the government intended to pass amendments to the bill regarding the use of tinting coatings on auto glass.
The fine for tinting from January 1, 2017 should have increased up to 5000 rubles... Such a significant increase in the amount of the monetary penalty for many turned out to be painfully noticeable. Indeed, before the adoption of this resolution, car owners who consistently did not comply with the standards for tinting auto glass were threatened with a fine in the amount of 1500 rubles.
Such a "surprise" was traditionally prepared in advance - in 2016 it was proposed to introduce some amendments to the bill on auto tinting. The innovations were initiated by Alexander Lysakov, who holds the post of Deputy Prime Minister for Constitutional Legislation and State Construction. It was he who came up with a proposal to raise the size of fines for violation of the use of tinted auto glass up to 5000 rubles.
However, to date, the legislation provides for liability for driving a car with tinted glass, including those covered with transparent colored films, the light transmission of which does not meet the requirements. GOST 32565-2013, in the form of a fine in the amount of 500 rubles. (h. 3.1 of art. 12.5 Administrative Code of the Russian Federation).
Note! The fine for an administrative offense provided for, in particular, h. 3.1 of art. 12.5 Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, may be paid in the amount of half the amount of the imposed fine no later than 20 days from the date of the decision on its imposition. If the execution of the order was delayed or delayed, the fine is paid in full ( Part 1.3 of Art. 32.2 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation).
If the toning that complies with the current standards is used, a fine under the new law will not be imposed.
Thanks to the new GOST 32565-2013 drivers themselves can already determine what type of tinting coating they will use, and what degree of transparency they should be, so that no fines are imposed or more serious consequences do not occur.
Deprivation of rights for tinting in 2020 under a new law
It was expected that the authorities would pass amendments that would allow for an increase in penalties, but at the same time abandon the more severe punishment, which implies deprivation of rights for tinting.
Until 2014, removal of state license plates was a punishment for incorrect toning. However, after the simplification of the procedure for obtaining their duplicates, many drivers began to actively use them, which largely caused the appearance of a fine in the amount of 500 rubles for such a violation.
A new law on deprivation of rights in lieu of a fine for tinting was considered in 2016 along with other provisions on the types of punishment. During the discussions, a compromise option was adopted as a whole. At the moment, the driver, after a violation for its misuse, must pay a fine in the amount of 500 rubles... Deprivation of rights for tinting is no longer relevant - drivers have nothing to fear. After all, subject to the payment of a fine within 20 days after the issuance of a decision on an administrative offense, you can save half the amount, that is, you will have to pay only 250 rubles.
The tougher punishment for toning from January 1, 2017 is due to the increased number of accidents due to the deterioration of the driver's view. Initially, an artificial decrease in the light transmission of glass was done to protect the interior trim material from burning out, for some types of special-purpose vehicles. For violation of current regulations, a fine for tinting can be issued. On January 1, 2017, a new law will come into force, the knowledge of which is mandatory for drivers.
Car glass tinting norms in 2017
To get acquainted with the current rules of the machine visibility, it is necessary to study the Technical Regulations on Vehicle Safety. The norms are described in section # 4. No changes or other adjustments are planned in the near future. The new law can be adopted only on the basis of an approved draft, which does not yet exist. 
The current norms for tinting car windows:
- For frontal and lateral, providing the driver's view. The light transmittance must be at least 0.7. The exception is cars of category M1. For them, the characteristics of the film on the rear windows are not standardized.
- Sticking a filter strip on top of the windshield is permitted. The permissible width is up to 140 mm, its permissible parameters are not indicated in the documents.
- It is forbidden to use a coating with a mirror effect, regardless of its location on the external elements of the car.
It is also prohibited to install any objects or structures on glass. They obstruct the view. The exception is passenger vehicles of category M1. They are permitted to install curtains or similar light-shielding elements on the passenger side.
The rear window and side passenger windows can be darkened to full opacity. In this case, the traffic police officer cannot issue a fine.
Penalties for tinting from January 1, 2017
At the beginning of autumn 2016, a bill was adopted that provides for an increase in fines for non-observance of the toning rules. Its appearance is due to massive violation and disregard of the current legislation. 
The amount of the fine increased to 1,500 rubles. With a subsequent similar violation, it increases to 5000 rubles. If after that no changes were made to the car in accordance with the law - driving license revocation. But the last point was removed from the project.
It is noteworthy that these changes were not adopted. The answer to the pressing question , what a fine for tinted front windows - old norms. According to the content of clause 3.1 of Article 12.5 of the Administrative Code, the following rules for the formation of a penalty apply:
- the size is 500 rubles;
- the driver is given 10 working days to bring the characteristics of the car in accordance with the Technical Regulations;
- the amount of subsequent fines for tinting does not change - 500 rubles.
Alas, but such a measure is not enough to ensure the safety of all road users. In fact, after the formation of the protocol, the offender has 10 days during which he can use a vehicle that does not comply with the Technical Regulations without any fear.
Features of the calculation of light transmission and its verification
Is it possible to independently determine the degree of light transmission for all types of car windows? In addition to the classic film sticker, special models with an internal polymer coating, painting in bulk can be used. The last two are made only in the factory. 
You can find out the value of the factory change in light transmission from the technical documentation. To calculate the possibility of using a tinting film, this factor must be taken into account for coating and glass. Without additional layers, the windshield and side windows allow about 80% of the light to pass through. Those. in fact, you can only reduce this figure by 10%. Therefore, it is recommended to buy and install a film with 90% bandwidth.
When checking the light transmission of glass, traffic police officers must adhere to the following rules:
- Measurements are performed using a taumeter. The device must be sealed and the original certificate is attached to it. Damage to the case, seals or other defects make it impossible to use the device.
- Air humidity during measurements - up to 45%. Exceeding this indicator will lead to an inaccurate result. The solution is to transport the vehicle to a dry box.
- Temperature limits - from -10 ° С to + 35 ° С.
- Measurements of humidity and air temperature are carried out by a traffic police officer using appropriate instruments.
- The minimum number of measuring points on the glass is 3.
- The operation is performed in the presence of attesting witnesses.
Violation of at least one of the above points is the basis for recognizing the written protocol as invalid. Therefore, during the check, it is recommended to take video recording to confirm the fact of the violation.
