The sign "Novice driver"

To Indicate inexperience or not – here is the question. Today, the “Beginner” - a sign which brought a lot of confusion and contradiction. Remember, signed by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has confirmed the decree of the government, which said on the introduction, 1.03.2009 special sign for cars, under the management of novice drivers with experience of up to 2 years – the “Beginner”. The penalty for the absence of such designation of the vehicle became a serious discussion and debate on many forums. Someone paid 2 thousand, 3 thousand, who, and noise. Many have wondered about the fine. If there is such really the case? Let's dot the “i”.

Each booklet of traffic rules ends with a section composed of the provisions for the admission of the vehicle for use, etc. let's get right to the actual topic. We need the item number 8 (he describes the “Beginner”, etc.). The content the following:

• Identification mark "Training vehicle” (“U”), which is a triangle pointing up, with a red border in which is inscribed the letter “U”. Size 200х200х200 mm. Installed on the vehicle intended for driving instruction. Yes, it is for learning, so that unauthorized installation of the distinguishing sign on your car is a traffic violation. All of the schools spetsializiruyutsya on the driving instruction, it is mandatory for all machines used to install this sign;
• The “Beginner” yellow square (each side 150 mm) with the picture of an exclamation mark of black color should be installed behind the vehicle driven by persons whose driving experience is less than two years. The exceptions are motorcycles, self-propelled machines and tractors. They “Beginner” (mark-label) is not attached. It “must be”, which strictly attributed. To avoid disputes transferred those markings that are installed "at the request of the owner of the vehicle or driver”: “Doctor”, “Disabled”, etc. to Install or do without, to decide for themselves, as stringent regulations for this reason.

So, now the “Beginner” to paste the urgency, you probably sanction some clever made. And here and there. It was weird, but fine for a violation of this paragraph do not.

Now let's move further discussion of this rather ambiguous question. Just hearken to the phrase “the Basic provisions for the admission of the vehicle for use…”. Pmac have pass the TRP, therefore, your vehicle to operate already made. It happens that “strict” DPS, based on their personal reasons, decide its action to suspend, so you have every right to eliminate “the reason”. Look at the quote “the vehicle must be installed markings” and here a field for imagination. How do you install the sign “Beginner” - your business. Fix it “dead” the glass does not necessarily (!), you can just stick it on a piece of plastic and if necessary just to secure the sign under seal, and every day you can just carry it in the trunk.

All anything, but, despite the fact that the missing sign “beginner” the penalty to the owner of the vehicle does not guarantee, but without it, the TRP will not work. You have the experience of less than 2 years? Clip and save yourself from unnecessary worries, so in any case easier to prove anything to anyone is not necessary.

To Attach an identification mark or not, remains a matter. In fact, his presence at least will wish once again to stay away (that's right, and not Vice versa), because as you know, the driver of a car that has a “Beginner”, in a loss can give quite a nasty surprise by making unexpected maneuvers. Draw a conclusion yourself and never forget about safety on the roads.
