Taking into account specific circumstances, the listed violations may be punishable by a fine of 5,000 rubles or deprivation of rights for 1-3 months.
Install the license plates in the place where you left the car before going to the traffic police to get them. Please remember that registering your car and obtaining license plates can take a long time. There are often situations when they have to be attached in the dark. It is recommended to park under a lamppost to avoid problems with lighting in the evening.
Where should I put the numbers?
Many models modern cars provide a special place for attaching numbers. In this case, it is almost impossible to make a mistake. If your car model does not have such a place, then do not rush to attach the number anywhere. This can also lead to fines. Car enthusiasts are advised to study the special GOST - “State registration signs for vehicles. Types and main sizes. Technical requirements" In it you can find necessary information and choose the right mounting location.
According to the current GOST, the front and rear license plates of a car can be installed along the axis of symmetry or to the left of it. Installation on the right will result in a fine or loss of license.
In addition to the above, the following requirements are put forward to the place where the sign is attached:
- it can only be a flat vertical rectangular surface;
- structural elements of the car must not block the license plate;
- The location must be chosen so that the number plate does not become dirty during operation of the vehicle and can be easily identified.
The license plate must not reduce the overhang of the car or protrude beyond its dimensions. The installation should be carried out so that external light and signaling devices are not covered. Today, non-standard bumpers have become very fashionable, the number on which can only be installed at an angle. Please note that such installation is a violation and will result in appropriate penalties.
How to attach the numbers?
Many motorists attach license plates using bolts that have a reflective surface. Is it correct? No. Remember that GOST regulates the materials used for fastening. According to this document, numbers should be secured with screws with heads or bolts that match the color of the sign field or have a light galvanic coating. Frame mounting is also permitted. In any case, the inscription RUS, letters, edging, numbers and the image of the Russian state flag must not be distorted or blocked.
You should not attach numbers using organic glass or other materials. You cannot drill additional holes in the license plate, even if those on the license plate do not match those already on the car. In this case, it is necessary to use transitional structural elements.
Therefore, bolts and screws with reflective caps are not suitable for fastening. Their use is subject to a fine of 500 rubles. This is exactly the amount charged for installing numbers that are unreadable, non-standard, or installed in violation of GOST.
Compliance with all the rules set out in the article will help motorists avoid problems with the traffic police and save their money.
A 5,000 ruble fine or deprivation of the right to drive vehicles for a period of 1 to 3 months can be received upon meeting with a traffic inspector for the absence of at least one license plate on a car while driving on the roads or for deliberately hiding even one number or letter on the license plate. The same punishment can be received if incorrect installation license plates, for example, even if one of them “looks” at the asphalt.
Driving a car without traffic license plates is only allowed for newly purchased cars within 10 days from the date of purchase. But if the license plates are received before the expiration date, then you can drive the car without violating the rules only after attaching them to it. Therefore, before going to the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate for license plates, you should take care in advance of installing their mounting frames or another method of installing them on the car.
A 500 ruble fine or a warning can be received if it is impossible to see even one letter or number on a license plate from a distance of 20 meters due to natural contamination - dirt or snow getting on the license plate. If you are stopped by an inspector and there is a suspicion that the license plates of the car are dirty, then in order to get off with only a warning, you need to first wipe the license plates with a pre-prepared napkin before communicating with the inspector.
You should not agree with the inspector when he tries to equate the contamination of car license plates with their absence and the imposition of a fine of 5,000 rubles or deprivation of rights for up to three months. This is an illegal requirement. The maximum penalty under the law for such a violation can only be a fine of 500 rubles.
Therefore, in order to avoid imposition of a fine or deprivation of driving privileges, it is necessary to correctly and securely attach the license plate and promptly clean its surface from dirt.
How to remove the plastic holder
license plate number from the car
One day in winter frosty morning, while clearing snow from the car, I discovered that the plastic holder for the front license plate of the car, which had served faithfully for more than seven years, had a cracked frame, and several lower clamps had come out of their grooves. License plate one of lower angle protruded from the frame below and rested on " honestly" I was lucky that I discovered the breakdown in time, since on one of the potholes while the car was moving, the number plate would have definitely fallen out of the holder.
![](https://i1.wp.com/ydoma.info/photos/avtomobil/nomernoj-znak/nomer-avto-homut.jpg)
On severe frost The plastic of the holder has lost its elasticity, and an attempt to secure the frame at its base using standard clamps was unsuccessful. There was no time to carry out repairs and the license plate had to be temporarily secured using two plastic clamps threaded through the holes provided for fastening in it and the frame. The reliability of fastening with clamps was in doubt, so at the first opportunity I started repairing the license plate holder.
![](https://i0.wp.com/ydoma.info/photos/avtomobil/nomernoj-znak/nomer-avto-nomeroderzhatel-petlya.jpg)
The license plate is secured in the holder using a movable frame. Its upper part at the base is held by elastic plastic loops, which makes it possible to move the lower part of the frame slightly to the side when installing the number at the base of the holder. The photo shows the loop that broke in my number holder.
![](https://i0.wp.com/ydoma.info/photos/avtomobil/nomernoj-znak/nomer-avto-nomeroderzhatel-zashchelki.jpg)
After installing the number in the base of the holder, the lower part of the frame in its base is secured using several latches shown in the photo. In order to remove the license plate from the holder, these latches must be disengaged one by one using a flat-head screwdriver.
![](https://i2.wp.com/ydoma.info/photos/avtomobil/nomernoj-znak/nomer-avto-nomeroderzhatel.jpg)
After removing the license plate, access to the screws securing the license plate holder opens. As you can see in the photo, the holder on the car bumper is secured with two screws.
![](https://i1.wp.com/ydoma.info/photos/avtomobil/nomernoj-znak/nomer-avto-nomeroderzhatel-samorez.jpg)
In order to remove the plastic holder from the car bumper, simply unscrew the self-tapping screws using a Phillips screwdriver.
Repair of plastic license plate holder
with your own hands
The license plate holder has been removed from the car, and now you can repair it yourself in a workshop.
![](https://i1.wp.com/ydoma.info/photos/avtomobil/nomernoj-znak/nomer-avto-nomeroderzhatel-treshchina.jpg)
As you can see in the photo, the cracked part of the frame is several millimeters thick. Therefore, it can be repaired by combining two technological methods– gluing and reinforcement with metal brackets.
![](https://i0.wp.com/ydoma.info/photos/avtomobil/nomernoj-znak/nomer-avto-nomeroderzhatel-treshchina-zakleena.jpg)
Gluing the cracked part of the frame will not high reliability, and is only necessary for the convenience of installing brackets. In order not to wait for a long time, gluing was done using fast-setting Super Moment glue.
![](https://i2.wp.com/ydoma.info/photos/avtomobil/nomernoj-znak/nomer-avto-nomeroderzhatel-treshchina-skobka.jpg)
Next, using an electric soldering iron, the joint was reinforced with two brackets made of copper wire for electrical wiring with a diameter of about 1 mm.
![](https://i2.wp.com/ydoma.info/photos/avtomobil/nomernoj-znak/nomer-avto-nomeroderzhatel-treshchina-skobka-zaplavlena.jpg)
The brackets were recessed into the plastic flush with the surface of the frame and became almost invisible. For clarity, the photograph shows brackets that have not yet been melted over with plastic. Repair using thermal reinforcement of brackets in plastic provides a complete guarantee that the connection will never come apart.
![](https://i0.wp.com/ydoma.info/photos/avtomobil/nomernoj-znak/nomer-avto-nomeroderzhatel-petlya.jpg)
To repair the plastic loop located on the top of the license plate holder, we had to use a slightly different technology.
![](https://i1.wp.com/ydoma.info/photos/avtomobil/nomernoj-znak/nomer-avto-nomeroderzhatel-petlya-oplavlenie.jpg)
Before the repair, the movable part of the license plate holder was fixed in its base and the crack was repaired using an electric soldering iron.
![](https://i2.wp.com/ydoma.info/photos/avtomobil/nomernoj-znak/nomer-avto-nomeroderzhatel-petlya-skrepka.jpg)
But reflow repairs cannot ensure a reliable connection, so an additional specially shaped bracket was bent from a paper clip, as shown in the photograph.
![](https://i2.wp.com/ydoma.info/photos/avtomobil/nomernoj-znak/nomer-avto-nomeroderzhatel-petlya-skrepka-vplavlenie.jpg)
![](https://i0.wp.com/ydoma.info/photos/avtomobil/nomernoj-znak/nomer-avto-nomeroderzhatel-petlya-skrepka-vplavlena.jpg)
The bracket was recessed into the body of the plastic, and all that remained was to level the surface with sandpaper. Despite the rigidity of the connection, the lower part of the frame tilted freely a couple of centimeters, which is quite enough to tuck a license plate into the license plate holder.
But the unexpected happened. The frost outside was more than 25°C, and after attaching the license plate holder to the car's bumper, it was impossible to attach the license plate to the holder. The plastic lost its elasticity from the cold, and the latches did not want to lock. I had to use plastic clamps again.
Making a metal holder
DIY car license plate
Since it was not possible to secure the license plate in the plastic license plate holder after it was repaired in the cold, I had to make a new license plate holder with my own hands from scrap material.
![](https://i0.wp.com/ydoma.info/photos/avtomobil/nomernoj-znak/nomer-avto-nomeroderzhatel-plastina-chertezh.jpg)
There was a suitable sized aluminum plate with a thickness of 2 mm available, and it was decided to make a homemade license plate holder from it. Aluminum is lightweight, durable, easy to process and does not oxidize when exposed to precipitation. Dimensions were taken from the license plate and the drawing presented above was made.
The size of 150 mm was chosen based on the holes in the car bumper made earlier to secure the plastic license plate.
![](https://i2.wp.com/ydoma.info/photos/avtomobil/nomernoj-znak/nomer-avto-nomeroderzhatel-plastina.jpg)
The number holder was cut from the sheet using a hacksaw, the corners were rounded with a flat file with a coarse notch. The holes are drilled using a drill with a metal drill. All that remains is to install the homemade license plate holder on the car bumper and secure the license plate to it with screws.
![](https://i2.wp.com/ydoma.info/photos/avtomobil/nomernoj-znak/nomer-avto-nomeroderzhatel-plastina-kreplenie-na-bampere.jpg)
When attaching the number holder to the bumper, a difficulty arose with the screws. Since the license plate must fit tightly to the plane of the license plate, we needed plastic self-tapping screws with a countersunk head, a large thread pitch and so that the threads start at the head itself. Finding such a screw turned out to be problematic, but I remembered that in the computer power supply the cooler in its case is screwed with just such self-tapping screws with a diameter of 4 mm. I unscrewed the screws from the burnt out power supply.
![](https://i2.wp.com/ydoma.info/photos/avtomobil/nomernoj-znak/nomer-avto-nomeroderzhatel-plastina-zakreplena-na-bampere.jpg)
A self-made license plate holder was screwed to the car bumper with self-tapping screws. For more reliable fastening, you can use screws with metric threads, threaded through the bumper, and screwed into nuts with wide washers located on the inside of it.
![](https://i0.wp.com/ydoma.info/photos/avtomobil/nomernoj-znak/nomer-avto-nomeroderzhatel-plastina-zakreplen.jpg)
Although, according to the Requirements for installing state registration plates on vehicles, bolts or screws with heads that have the color of the sign field or light galvanic coatings must be used to secure them, I did not have any screws with beautiful heads on hand that meet these requirements. Therefore, I used it with a dark coating, since the diameter of their heads is only 3 mm larger than the holes in the license plate and at a glance it is practically not noticeable. In any case, the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate employees do not ask questions.
![](https://i1.wp.com/ydoma.info/photos/avtomobil/nomernoj-znak/nomer-avto-nomeroderzhatel-plastina-vint-golovka.jpg)
The screws used were M6 with a thread length of 10 mm, with a spherical head for a hex bit. To prevent spontaneous unscrewing threaded connection A spring washer of the Grover type was installed between the nut and a simple washer.
![](https://i2.wp.com/ydoma.info/photos/avtomobil/nomernoj-znak/nomer-avto-nomeroderzhatel-plastina-end.jpg)
Now government number It stays securely on the car and looks elegant. I plan to soon Replace the plastic holder for the mount and rear license plate with a homemade one.
A frame for installing a registration plate is a mandatory attribute that no car owner can do without. Frames perform several functions at once important functions. First, they securely hold license plates so that drivers do not lose them while driving. Secondly, these devices serve as protection for signs from theft.
1
Previously, motorists had the opportunity to attach registration plates to only one type of frame. Modern drivers have much more options when choosing a product. According to their own design features distinguish:
- anti-theft frames;
- frames in the form of curtains;
- "shifters";
- products with a slope;
- frames with rear view camera.
Anti-vandal frames protect the number from theft
The first type includes anti-vandal frames. They have a simple, but at the same time well-protected design, which helps protect the car sign from thieves. Thanks to the very reliable fastening, only a few people can remove the number. Anti-vandal frames are equipped with secret bolts, which are almost impossible to unscrew. Such fasteners are intended only for one-time installation, so an ordinary screwdriver will not help when removing the number plate.
More and more often, drivers are using products that help hide the registration sign from traffic cameras and traffic police officers. The benefit from this is quite dubious, because it is one thing to pay a small fine, and another to hide from inspectors for a while, and then lose your rights and suffer significant financial losses. However, this does not stop the “risky guys” who are not averse to buying and installing such frames.
The curtain frames have a completely normal appearance. However, with the press of a button, the registration number is hidden under an opaque curtain. The button for using the curtain can be stationary or portable. The driver has the opportunity to choose: to hide only one number plate, or to cover the signs in both the front and rear of the car. So that the car owner does not forget to open the number again, the button is equipped with special indicator. There are frames on sale that hide the numbers with white or black curtains.
There are frames that can be flipped 80 degrees
For those who have two numbers at their disposal, there are so-called upside-down frames. If necessary, they rotate 80 degrees, changing one number to another. It is almost impossible to remove the registration sign from such a frame. Instead, one of the numbers can be hidden with a picture and glued to it at night to stop robbery attempts.
2 Accessories with tilt and rear view camera
If necessary, each driver can purchase inclined frames. When you press the button, they rotate, leaving the number at an angle invisible to the camera. The license plate mount on this product is standard. However inner part The sign is fixed on a kind of “skewer”, which twists the number.
Based on the principle of operation, tilting frames are divided into electronic folding and self-tilting devices. In the case of the first type, the plate with the number takes a horizontal position when the button is pressed. In the second case, the numbers recline under the influence of oncoming air. So, when driving at low speed, the number is kept in a vertical position, but as the speed increases, the plate begins to bend, gradually taking on a horizontal position.
Such devices can cost from 5 to 10 thousand rubles. When using them, drivers, as a rule, do not have any problems with the law, because when driving a car, the license plate is in place and visible. At the same time, there is Article 12.2 of the second part of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, which states that when using license plates made from materials that impede the visibility of the registration mark, a fine of 5 thousand rubles is indicated. or deprivation of rights for up to 3 months.
A frame with a built-in frame would be a rather useful accessory. This is a kind of analogue of parking sensors, which significantly helps the driver when parking. Such a frame is attached with fairly reliable screws, which should hold not only the sign, but also an expensive camera. By the way, the latter is a rotating type, that is, it gives the driver not only a picture directly behind him, but also a full-fledged image of everything that is happening behind the car.
In addition to the above types of frames, we also sell a wide range of various illuminated accessories. They help improve the visibility of the license plate and make the car brighter and more impressive. If necessary, the lighting can be turned off and only the standard light bulbs, the use of which is required by law, can be left on. Such numbers will look especially impressive in combination with. Such an improvement will certainly be appreciated even by those far from car tuning People.

Previously, each license plate frame was made of plastic. However, today a huge number of devices have appeared from the most different materials. The use of chrome accessories will be relevant for the central and northern regions. These parts of the country experience frequent temperature changes. Chrome easily withstands fluctuations from -30 to +40 °C, which cannot be said about plastic.
Chrome-plated accessories withstand large temperature changes
At the same time, the stainless steel license plate frame is highly resistant to impacts and scratches. The service life of such accessories is 4–5 times longer than that of plastic parts.
However, plastic products are much cheaper. This becomes especially relevant when installing a license plate on a car that will soon be out of service. Besides, plastic frame for mounting a license plate is lightweight and easy to install. You can often find silicone accessories on sale. They consist of metal plates covered with silicone. Despite this, such a frame for installing a license plate easily bends, which makes it possible to press the device tightly against the bumper.

To install the frames, 2 fastening methods are used. The first method is one-part. The frame for fixing the license plate is held in place with several screws. This makes it possible to press the accessory tightly against the bumper. However, this fixation method has several disadvantages. First of all, during installation the number is often deformed. Secondly, the number is quite difficult to rent. In addition, this fastening principle will not allow the use of additional protection.
The first method of fastening is with several screws
The second fastening method is a two-part one using a latch. Such a frame for reliable installation has a license plate increased degree protection and has a low cost. These accessories are well suited for mounting curtains and other additional protective devices. Two-piece accessories consist of a base and a front cover. Such a simple, at first glance, structure is quite difficult to dismantle and disassemble. To do this you will need to use special equipment. Often these frames are called cassette frames. They can be made from either plastic or stainless steel.
Today, without exception, all vehicles operated in the territory Russian Federation, V mandatory must be equipped with a unique state number.

However, upon resale, it will be possible to deal with it in different ways. It is worth considering this issue in advance in case of re-registration of the vehicle.
Where should they be
Installing a license plate number is a procedure that is carried out relatively infrequently by the car owner. This usually happens when replacing old registration plates with new ones or when purchasing a new one. vehicle.
That is why many simply do not pay enough attention to everything technical features This kind of procedure is completely in vain.
Since violation of the rules for attaching license plates and their locations threatens quite serious problems with the law.
First of all, you should remember enough large size fine for driving a vehicle without a valid license plate assigned to it.
For 2018, the amount of such a fine is as much as 5 thousand rubles. In the Rules traffic Moments of this kind are discussed in sufficient detail.
On this moment Serious violations include the following:
- lack of registration plates;
- use of registration plates together with any technical means, which prevent the recognition of information on them.
In addition to a fine, the owner of such a vehicle may be subject to another administrative penalty - deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle for a period of 1 to 3 months.
That is why the answer to the question about the location of the signs is clear. Installation must be carried out right where the trip to the traffic police takes place for new license plates.
That’s why if you arrive for registration during the day, still try to park closer to lighting fixtures. Registration often takes quite a long time. And you will have to carry out the fastening right in the dark.
It is quite problematic to find out the installation location directly on the car. In accordance with current legal regulations. Sometimes standard seats are simply missing.
For example, if the car comes from another country and the installation standards there are slightly different.
In this case, you still need to follow regulatory documents, which displays information about the mounting location -.
The following recommendations are given regarding the location of the sign itself:
- the front registration sign must be located directly along the axis of symmetry of the vehicle (it can also be located to the left of the axis of symmetry);
- The rear registration plate must be located along the axis of symmetry or to the left of it - but only in the direction of movement (otherwise not allowed).
From the above points it follows that both numbers (front - rear) should be located directly along the axis of symmetry. The installation location chosen by the owner must satisfy some serious requirements.
These include the following:
- the surface must be smooth and flat;
- there should be no obstruction of the sign by structural elements;
- Reducing vehicle overhang angles due to license plates is not allowed.
Often, various additionally installed bumpers make it impossible to place the sign at a right angle to the road. Often he simply looks down. This type of situation will need to be avoided.
Otherwise, quite serious difficulties may arise with the traffic police. A fine may be issued.
What you need for installation
Today, many car owners use various types of reflective hardware or coated ones to install license plates. different paints. For example, the back is white, the front is red.
It's important to remember that state standards certain requirements for bolts are established.
These requirements look like this today:
- the head of a screw or bolt must be covered with the color of the mark field or be equipped with galvanic elements;
- it is possible to use special frames for fastening - but they should not block the registration inscription RUS, as well as all kinds of other data on the registration number;
- in no case is it allowed to cover the license plate with glass made of organic material or with any other means that make it difficult to read the sign by technical or other means;
- if for some reason the seats on the sign itself and on the car bumper do not match, you will need to use special structural elements for transitions that meet the requirements I.2-I.4.
From all of the above it follows that it is simply not allowed to use bolts with a reflective surface for attaching license plates. The Code of Administrative Offenses even contains special punishment for this kind of violation.
The fine for using improper fasteners is 500 rubles in 2018.
Process
Today, figuring out how to attach a license plate to a car in a frame is quite simple. But this kind of procedure has some nuances and features. You should definitely familiarize yourself with them in advance. The fastening process itself can be implemented in various ways.
The simplest and most frequently used:
- using bolts and screws;
- using clamps.
Bolts and self-tapping screws
Often, numbers are stolen by attackers with the goal of simply extorting a ransom from the victim. Solving this kind of problem is quite simple. You will only need to use bolts or self-tapping screws to secure the number “tightly”.
The procedure for installing the registration number state sign as follows:
- in a hardware store you need to purchase bolts with a smooth head - this will minimize the likelihood of theft;
- it is necessary to drill through the bumper or other part that is used to place the state registration plate - in some cases, this can be done simply by lifting the car on a lift;
- then carry out through drilling directly into the part;
- The license plate itself and the bolts to it are also attached.
- using bolts without heads - unscrewing the number will be quite problematic;
- use a special riveter - you can contact the service or simply purchase your own;
- install an additional alarm sensor under the number - it is connected to the main one and is triggered when the plane is disconnected from the surface of the bumper.
- changing the overhangs of the front and rear corners of the vehicle;
- rooms should not be covered by light signals, all kinds of lighting devices, and also protrude beyond the side clearance of the vehicle;
- It is not allowed to drill holes on the registration plate, as well as other interventions in its configuration.
Despite the reliability of this type of fastener, it is also possible to remove it. For example, cut it out using a grinder or simply choose it together with the fastener. But in most cases, thieves simply decide to find another victim.
Clamps
The use of plastic clamps is not a replacement for quality, good bolts. Since such fasteners can be easily cut with simple wire cutters. That is why it will need to be used together with screws and bolts.
The process of using clamps is quite simple. You just need to purchase them of sufficient length. Then pass them outside the frame. Thus, the number is quite simply attached, with a minimum of effort.
Some owners use such nylon clamps instead of bolts and self-tapping screws. As shown in the picture below.
How to attach license plates to your car so they don't get stolen
The problem of license plate theft is quite new for the Russian Federation, but is becoming increasingly relevant. Most often, “beautiful” license plates, as well as license plates of cars from other regions, come under attack.
The attackers' algorithm is as simple as possible: the signs are unscrewed, after which a note is left under the wipers. To get a refund, you will need to deposit a certain amount of money into a special account.
Decide similar problem can be done in different ways:
Requirements according to GOST
The issue of setting numbers is discussed in sufficient detail in special legislative norms. At the moment, it is necessary first of all to observe the geometry of placement of such registration plates:
There is a fairly extensive list of various prohibited items. These today include the following:
illegal if to the right of the vehicle axle
because it violates the GOST requirement
accordingly - punishableAppendix I (mandatory)
Requirements for installation of state registration plates on vehiclesI.1 Each vehicle must be provided with installation locations for the following registration plates (except for plates of types 16-18):
- one front and one rear - on cars, trucks, utility vehicles and buses;
- one rear - on other vehicles.I.2 The location for installing the registration plate must be a flat vertical rectangular surface and selected in such a way as to prevent the sign from being blocked by elements of the vehicle structure, becoming dirty during operation of the vehicle and making it difficult to read. At the same time, registration plates should not reduce the angles of the front and rear overhangs vehicle, cover external light and signal devices, protrude beyond the side marker of the vehicle.
I.3 The front registration plate should be installed, as a rule, along the axis of symmetry of the vehicle. It is allowed to install the front registration plate to the left of the axis of symmetry of the vehicle in the direction of movement of the vehicle.
I.4 The installation location of the rear registration plate must ensure that the following conditions are met.
I.4.1 The registration plate must be installed along the axis of symmetry of the vehicle or to the left of it in the direction of travel.
I.4.2 The registration plate must be installed perpendicular to the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the vehicle with a deviation of no more than 3°.
I.4.3 The registration plate on the vehicle must be located perpendicular to the reference plane of the vehicle with a deviation of no more than 5°.
Note- If the design of the vehicle does not allow the installation of registration plates perpendicular to the supporting plane of the vehicle, then for registration plates whose top edge height is not more than 1200 mm, this angle may be increased to 30° if the surface on which the sign is installed is facing upwards, and up to 15° if the surface is facing down.I.4.4 The height of the lower edge of the rear registration plate from the reference plane of the vehicle must be at least 300 mm, the height of the upper edge of the sign - no more than 1200 mm.
Notes
1 If the design of the vehicle does not allow the height of the upper edge of the registration plate to be located at a height of no more than 1200 mm, the size may be increased to 2000 mm.
2 Measurement of the height of the registration plate from the reference plane of the vehicle must be carried out on a vehicle with curb weight.I.4.5 The registration plate must be visible in a space limited by the following four planes: two vertical and two horizontal, touching the edges of the sign within the visibility angles indicated in Figure 3.1.
I.4.6 The relative location of the registration plate and the registration plate lighting lamp(s) on the vehicle must comply with GOST R 41.4.
I.4.7 The registration plate must be installed in such a way that dark time day, it was ensured that it could be read from a distance of at least 20 m when illuminated by a standard lamp(s) illuminating the vehicle sign.
Note- The requirement does not apply to the inscriptions “RUS” and “TRANSIT”, as well as to the image of the flag of the Russian Federation.
I.5 To fasten registration plates, bolts or screws with heads that have the color of the field of the sign or light galvanic coatings should be used.
It is allowed to attach signs using frames. Bolts, screws, frames must not block or distort the inscription “RUS” on the registration plate, the image of the State Flag of the Russian Federation, letters, numbers or edging.
Figure I.1
It is not allowed to cover the sign with organic glass or other materials.
It is prohibited to drill additional holes on the registration plate for attaching the plate to a vehicle or for other purposes.
In case of coordinate mismatch mounting holes registration plate with the coordinates of the mounting holes of the vehicle; fastening of the signs must be carried out through transitional structural elements that ensure compliance with the requirements I.2-I.4.
I.6 Registration plates of types 16-18 must be installed:
- on passenger cars and buses - one on the front and one on the rear windshields inside the cabin (cabin) to the right of the longitudinal plane of symmetry in the direction of movement of the vehicle;
- on trucks and tractors - one sign on the front windshield inside the cab to the right of the longitudinal plane of symmetry in the direction of travel of the vehicle.Registration plates issued for motorcycles and trailers must be carried by drivers.
