Under the supervision of his father. The situation is relatively under control - the kid hardly reaches the pedals, so the speed is set by an adult, and if something happens, he will intercept the steering wheel. But the evil lies elsewhere: the destructiveness of what is happening for the developing child's consciousness is off scale: the belt is not fastened; the child already famously calls traffic police officers "cops" and fears them, realizing the illegality of their actions; he is sure that the rights should be bought; to top it off, he easily agrees to deception: "just don't tell your mom." You do not need to be a teacher to predict the deformation of children's consciousness and the corresponding problems in the future.

In another video clip that exploded in its time, there is more extreme: the child is already 8 years old, but the girl controls the car completely herself. On a snow-covered country road, under the strict guidance of his father. Surely a skilled driver. With the ward, he does not stand on ceremony, giving commands harshly, like a drill instructor. And to make it more fun, it adds the volume of the perky track. The conceited dad focuses the attention of the operator-mom on the speedometer and encourages his daughter: "Give me at least a hundred!" Needless to say, none of the lucky ones in the car (after all, it all ended with a happy ending) was wearing a seat belt?

Let's move on to children who drive on their own. The next video is also long, but worth watching in its entirety. The young "pilot" and his friends hijack his father's Infiniti and go for a drive: with such a landing it is difficult for a small driver to control the steering wheel and pedals (friends notice this: "look how he sits"), but he drives for his age competently and adequately comments on his actions. Apparently, this is not the first time. Some of the friends sound a sensible proposal to return and fear of meeting the "cops", but another reference to the authority of the pope (do you feel where your legs grow from?) Nullifies this impulse. Soon, the instinct of self-preservation is replaced by courage: "overtake at least one!" Fortunately, no epic ending happened, but what will these guys do on the road next time?

But these guys are already older - a grade somewhere in the ninth school. We decided to show off in the parents' car, celebrating the birthday. Mouzon louder - and forward to adventure, filming a gallant act on a smartphone camera. The festive occasion and driving style hint that the driver was unlikely to be sober. The ending is predictable, and at the same time the guys were very lucky that it was just a safety rail, and not a post, pedestrian or “oncoming lane”. At the same time, from the words on the video (“anymore, guys, I won't see a car”, “tell me that you were cut off”) it follows that this is not the first time a teenager is driving his parent's car and rides with their consent. He probably also drove in childhood, as in the first example, and looked out for cops around the corner. “I should have gone to McDonald's,” are the wisest words in this video.

It is possible and necessary to instill in children an interest in driving a car and give him the appropriate knowledge, but at the same time one should be aware that this should be an activity, first of all, of an educational nature, and not of a teaching one. For example, in the following video, instructors teach their 8- and 9-year-old children on a covered snow-covered area, but the objectives of such a lesson are dubious: the kinders perform ridiculous slides and senseless “police turns” in relative safety and under adult supervision. But why? There is a danger that the child will feel like a super pilot ahead of schedule and will do things because of this at the beginning of an official driving career. And so that children from an early age know how to feel the car, give them better in karting.

Recall that, in accordance with Federal Law of 10.12.1995 N 196-FZ "On Road Safety", the right to drive vehicles of category "B" is granted to persons who have reached the age of eighteen, and in accordance with Section 21 of the Traffic Rules, training driving on roads is allowed only with a trainer and if the student has initial driving skills (from 16 years old for cars), and the trainer must have with him a document for the right to learn to drive a vehicle of this category, as well as a certificate for the right to drive a vehicle of the corresponding categories. In accordance with the Code of Administrative Offenses, the transfer of control of a vehicle to a person who knowingly does not have the right to drive a vehicle (except for a training ride) or is deprived of such right is punishable by a fine of 30,000 rubles, and driving a vehicle by a driver who does not have a license (except for training driving) shall entail the imposition of a fine of 5,000-15,000 rubles and the detention of the car. Better to spend this money on a driving school.

This vicious practice, when a minor gets behind the wheel of a modern car with the permission of his parents, is not approved by the teachers of driving schools. A car weighing more than a ton cannot be a toy for a child of 7-12 years old, because the movement on some highways reaches speeds of more than 100 km / h. There is no need to teach how to drive a car from such an early age, to "adapt" a child to the difficult conditions of real traffic. Moreover, the parent does not have the right to learn how to drive a car and does not have the necessary pedagogical skills. Such training is, in fact, a crime. Parents who are “innovators” should remember that the presence of a child behind the wheel and the resulting rash step of an accident can have irreversible consequences and cause psychological trauma to a teenager for many years. To adapt to the realities of the road, you can offer the child to start cycling, go-karting, study the rules of the road with him, attend special courses for children, and study at a children's and youth school. Only such a sound parental and pedagogical approach to the study of the Rules of the Road, the acquisition of vehicle driving skills will make it possible to grow a confident and responsible driver from a small person.

Lobarev Sergey

Chairman of the Board of NP "Guild of Driving Schools"

Our reader Eugene sent to the editorial office of Onliner.by a video shot by him in the Serebryanka microdistrict. The Renault Scenic driver sat one child on his lap and the other on the front passenger seat, without using a child seat or seat belt. So they drove along a busy avenue.

What happened

- I watched this picture on July 23 at about 15:30, - said the author of the video. - A minor child was sitting behind the wheel of the Renault Scenic on the driver's lap. The car was in the stream and moved along Plekhanov Street, after which it continued to move along Rokossovsky Avenue.

According to Eugene, the Renault driver, noticing that he was being filmed, stopped near the Salut cinema.

- There was a child in the passenger seat who was transported without a child seat and without using seat belts. At the same time, the window was completely open in the car, - our reader is outraged.

He claims that he sent a video to the traffic police of the Leninsky district with a request to give a legal assessment of the actions of the Renault driver.

Traffic police commentary

Sergey Zaranik, head of the agitation and propaganda department of the traffic police in Minsk, commented on the video to the Onliner.by correspondent.

- This fact is being checked. This is a gross violation of traffic rules by the driver. He created a danger both for children in the car and for other road users. In the event of an accident, children could be seriously injured - emphasized Sergey Zaranik.

He recalled that the traffic police requires strict observance of the rules for the transportation of passengers and especially children.

Legislation

The rules for the carriage of passengers are determined by Chapter 23 of the SDA. In particular, it is indicated how the driver should transport children. Clause 178 states that the transportation of children in a passenger car equipped with seat belts should be carried out using:

• child restraints corresponding to the weight and height of the child - under the age of five;
• child restraints corresponding to the weight and height of the child, other means (boosters, special cushions for sitting, additional seats) that allow you to safely fasten a child using the seat belts provided for by the design of the vehicle - at the age of five to twelve years.
• It is allowed to transport children under the age of twelve years without using the devices specified in part one of this paragraph if the child's height exceeds 150 centimeters, as well as in a taxi car.
• It is forbidden to transport children in the front seat of a passenger car using child restraints appropriate for the weight and height of the child, the back of which is turned towards the windshield of the vehicle, if the front seat has an airbag, unless the front airbag mechanism is disabled.

In addition, there is clause 181.6, which explicitly prohibits the transport of children on the lap of the driver.
And here's what else an adult must understand, who is responsible for the safety of children. For improper performance of these duties, there may even be criminal liability under Art. 165 of the Criminal Code - "Inadequate performance of duties to ensure the safety of life and health of children."

Completed. Outcome

The head of the agitation and propaganda department of the traffic police in Minsk Sergey Zaranik told the Onliner.by correspondent that the Renault driver was identified as a man born in 1984. He was brought to administrative responsibility under Part 5 of Art. 18.14 - "Violation of the rules for the carriage of passengers by the person driving the vehicle."

The age at which you can get a license depends on what category the future driver gets. Basically, to obtain rights, you must be of age.

An exception is obtaining rights of category M and A1. From 16 years old you can drive mopeds and light ATVs (M), as well as motorcycles with certain technical parameters: the volume of the internal combustion engine is not more than 125 cubic centimeters, the maximum power must not exceed 11 kilowatts (A1).

Driving license categories A, B (B1), C (C1) can be obtained upon reaching the age of majority. Recall: category A - motorcycles, B - all cars with no more than 8 seats (excluding the driver's seat), including minibuses, B1 - tricycles and quadricycles, C - heavy trucks, including those with a trailer, C1 - light trucks, trailer allowed.

Attention! The rights of category C and C1 do not give the opportunity to drive a passenger car.

There are special categories of rights, the receipt of which is possible only from the age of 21. These are categories D (buses), Tb (trolleybuses) and Tm (trams).

What is the threat to a minor for driving?

By law, minors will be held responsible for driving without the rights of minors. The only thing that threatens a minor - this is a preventive conversation with employees of the juvenile affairs unit, where he will be registered.

Consider the situation:

Taking advantage of his father's absence, the 15-year-old got behind the wheel of a car. Breaking the traffic rules at the intersection, a minor who, by the way, got into an accident (read the article), received a concussion and multiple bruises. Both vehicles suffered significant damage.

In this situation, information about this offense will go to the police department, where the measures described above will be applied to minors, and parents will face administrative responsibility.

What is the responsibility of the vehicle owner for allowing a minor to drive?

Of course, a parent who has allowed a situation in which his minor child was driving a vehicle (except for a school ride) is subject to administrative responsibility. Previously, the fine for driving by minors was 2,500 rubles, which, of course, will not frighten anyone.

What is the punishment for a minor driving now?

The legislation has been tightened, and now the fine for such an offense is 30,000 rubles... Perhaps, at least now, adults will think before allowing their children to drive a car, to which he has no right. It is possible that in the future the law will only get tougher.

Unfortunately, many car enthusiasts do not realizewhat kind of danger they put others around by allowing a minor to drive a car. Every year, road accidents occur on the roads of our country, where both teenagers who were entrusted with a car and pedestrians die.

Ponder, what knowledge and experience a driver should have in order to be sure that he will cope with driving. Why not let your child come of age and get his rights, because you may be saving his life.

According to the legislation, obtaining the right to drive vehicles is carried out at the age of majority, since any vehicle poses a great danger to all road users. However, it is not uncommon for a teenager under the age of 18 to drive a car. Moreover, this happens both with the knowledge of the parents and by the unauthorized decision of the child. Such a situation, regardless of the nuances, is considered to be the transfer of the steering wheel to a minor and is punished by the Law quite strictly. Minor driving - what punishment threatens him and his parents?

Responsibility for transferring the steering wheel to a minor

Previously, for finding a minor behind the wheel, it was required to pay only 2,500 rubles, which was not a big obstacle for some parents.

And, since the number of violations did not decrease, and in some cases only increased, the amount of the main penalty was increased several times, we will consider the exact amount below.

So, for example, a child is driving without the rights and, most likely, the permission of the parents. Naturally, this will attract the attention of the traffic police. In this case, it may turn out that the parents will have to pay several fines at the same time, since the situation is considered from several sides and depends on certain factors:

• transfer of the steering wheel to a minor without a license.According to the prescription of paragraph 1 of Art. 12.7 of the Administrative Code, minors face a fine for driving without a license 5-15 thousand rubles.

• if the minor driver is drunk . In this case, the amount of the payment to the state is doubled and amounts to at least 30,000 rubles... Administrative arrest in this case does not threaten, since it is not applicable to children. This punishment is regulated by article 12.8 of the Administrative Code, paragraph 3. Additionally, the car owner may lose his license for one and a half to two years. In case of repeated violation, the certificate is taken away for 3 years, and the fine increases to 50 thousand.

If a minor child was drunk while driving, but he took the car keys without asking, then he can get registered with a narcologist, if the Commission on Minors' Affairs so decides. Then it will be much more difficult for him to get a license, since a mark with a narcologist is also required by the medical commission.

• handing over the steering wheel to a minor if the parents themselves allowed their child to drive - a fine of up to 30,000 rubles. Adults will have to answer under clause 3 of article 12.7.

Legal subtleties and additional penalties

The fact that the offender is a minor can be called a mitigating circumstance when considering a case of a committed offense. The case is carried out with the involvement of the parents or other legal representatives of the child, as well as the prosecutor. Consideration is going on in court at the place of residence of the offender.

What happens if a minor is caught driving a car? The parents are immediately notified that the juvenile offender is detained. Naturally, when the inspector stops driving, the child is removed from driving, and the car is sent to a car parking lot, for which the owner will have to pay. But you can do without this, if the owner of the car has time to drive up before the arrival of the tow truck.

If a minor offender who is driving without a license does not have an independent source of income, a fine is imposed on his representatives - parents or guardians.

When a minor child sits behind the wheel, then, not having a license, he automatically cannot be entered into the CTP policy. This entails another punishment for his parents. As stated in part 2 of article 12.37 of the Administrative Code, the value the fine will be at least 800 rubles.

However, if the driver is under 18, but he has reached the age of sixteen, then the court has every right to bring the teenager to administrative responsibility, since this is permitted by paragraph 1 of Art. 2.3 Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. But even here it may turn out that the Commission on Juvenile Affairs will try to free the teenager from the due administrative responsibility. Then, in accordance with paragraph 2 of Art. 2.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, compulsory educational measures will be applied to the child who committed this violation.

In addition to the fine for violation of traffic rules by a minor driver, punishment under Art. 5.35 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. This will happen if the traffic police inspector decides to refer the case to the prosecutor's office, where it is considered that the parents do not pay due attention to the upbringing of their child. Then they may face a fine of 100 to 500 thousand rublesth. And the case itself will be referred to the Commission on Juvenile Affairs.

Video: a minor driving - what a fine and punishment the offender faces.

What kind of transport can be driven under 18

Despite the fact that it is possible to learn driving in most driving schools from the age of 16, after reaching this age mark, you can only drive a moped (category M) and a motorcycle with an engine capacity of up to 125 cm3 (category A1). In all other categories, rights can be obtained only from the age of 18. And only for such vehicles as buses, trams or trolleybuses you can get the coveted plastic driver card at the age of 21.

Driving a car is difficult and dangerous. Especially for a child. For this reason, children who drive themselves or with the permission of their parents very often get into an accident, putting at risk many lives, not only their own, but also of other people. Therefore, you should not indulge capricious desires or try to teach your offspring how to drive on your own. A more correct decision would be to wait for his majority so that you can send the child to a driving school. Or, if there are childcare facilities that teach driving, use this opportunity to satisfy the teenager's interest in cars.

Not all modern parents are distinguished by their conscientiousness, and the more frequent cases of underage "drivers" leaving the track also testifies to their irresponsibility. Meanwhile, the rules interpret this situation as a malicious violation.

And therefore, today we will talk about what punishment and what are provided for a minor without rights, as well as what will happen if a minor is caught driving a car, including, or if a child is driving a collision.

Age criteria

• There are even restrictions on bicycles by law, prohibiting a child from entering the road before the age of 14, limiting the ride within courtyards and designated areas.
• But, if we are talking about a car, then even driving training is allowed from the age of 16, which, by the way, is neglected by driving schools, but they are saved only by the fact that training is carried out at the circuit. In addition, the learning process itself is carried out on specially equipped vehicles, with the designation. Departure of trainees on the road is allowed only from the age of 16.

16 years of age gives the right to drive mopeds, scooters, light ATVs (). The rules introduce motorcycle parameters that are permissible for minors: the volume of the internal combustion engine is not more than 125 cubic centimeters or category A1. but even today the question arises again about the need to obtain the rights to such transport - but they do not give the right to drive a passenger car.

This video will tell you about the age limits for driving a car, as well as the terrifying statistics of violations when transferring the steering wheel to a child:

Responsibility framework

In the Soviet period, if a teenager drove a moped without a license, or was under 16 years old, the traffic police took the moped away from him, held a preventive conversation with the teenager and his parents, the latter bought the moped from the parking lot and paid a small fine. In our time, the law on this issue has not changed significantly. The teen will also have to have a preventive conversation, and the parents will be fined.

The teenager, in turn, should remember that drawing up such a protocol in the near future may become the reason that they may not be admitted to the examinations for rights. This rule is rarely applied, but as a fact it exists.

In other words, if a single violation can be "forgiven", then it may well "backfire" on the exam, especially if the teenager was not sober and "stubbornly resisted" the road police.

We will tell you about what will happen if a minor is driving.

This video will tell you about the responsibility of parents and children for the driving of a minor:

What parents are at risk

In this case, the situation can be considered from two positions: when the parents did not know about the teenager's behavior and when the father / mother themselves transferred the control of the car to the child.

• In the first case, the parents will face an administrative fine, which literally a couple of years ago amounted to 2,500, and today it has been increased to 30 thousand rubles.
• In the second case, the parent will be punished for the transfer of the right to drive, while maintaining the aforementioned fine. Thus, the amount can be up to 60 thousand rubles. In this case, the car will go to the impoundment parking lot, by the way, at the expense of the offender, plus the time spent by the car in the parking lot with hourly pay.
• Finding a minor driver drunk - the amount of the fine is 30 thousand rubles, and if with the knowledge of the parents, then plus another 30 thousand.
• A secondary violation will increase the penalty amount to 50 thousand, in addition, the parent who made the incident may be deprived of his rights for up to 3 years.
