On implementation of the principle of unavoidability of liability with regards to the drivers of vehicles registered in foreign countries that violate traffic rules of the Russian Federation, recorded by automated monitoring systems

Abstract

The subject of this research is the international and Russian normative legal acts aimed to ensure unavoidability of liability for violators of the Road Traffic Rules of the Russian Federation, namely the drivers of vehicles registered in foreign countries. The object of this research is the administrative legal relations that arise in the course of proceedings in such cases. The article traces the correlation between the increase in violations of the road traffic rules and consequences of the traffic accidents caused by such drivers; as well as the reason for lack of evidence required by the Main Directorate for Traffic Safety to hold the responsible to account. The article explores the questions of interaction between the Main Directorate for Traffic Safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and other state departments in order to eliminate the flaws in organization of the work on ensuring unavoidability of liability by drivers of vehicles registered in foreign countries. The conclusion is made on the need to form a unified database on owners of motor vehicles registered in foreign countries and individuals bringing them into the Russian Federation, determine the federal department of executive branch and delegation of power thereto for ensuring that individuals crossing the border of the Russian Federation adhere to these administrative laws, as well as introducing amendments into the legislation of the Russian Federation on restricting the right of foreign citizens to cross the state borders of the Russian Federation if failed to pay an administrative penalty. The author also underlines the need for the development of international agreements between the Russian Federation and foreign countries on the mutual recognition and liability for traffic violations recorded by automated monitoring systems.
