Each person who bought a car should be engaged in its registration in the traffic police. This is necessary when acquiring a new or used car, and it does not matter whether the seller is an individual or legal entity. Vehicle registration is carried out in the traffic police, and regularly various changes are made to the rules of this process. Therefore, each car owner should be well versed in what actions they should take to register a car.
New rules since 2018
Already at the end of 2017, numerous adjustments related to the registration of the machine were introduced. They relate more to the introduction of the latest technology. Therefore, the registration of the vehicle should be performed when accounting for changes:
- if in 2018 the car is not equipped with a special automatic navigation system in case of an accident, for example, the ERA-GLONASS system, then it will not be allowed to register, and this requirement also applies to car manufacturers, who must create these systems when creating cars;
- car owners no longer have to spend a lot of time and effort on the purchase of a compulsory insurance policy, as it is possible to draw up a document directly on the website of the selected insurance company, after which the purchased documentation is printed out and provided to the traffic police when the car stops;
- new standards are introduced that are used in calculating the cost of the insurance policy, therefore, the price depends on the number of offenses by the driver, so if there are many accrued fines or loss of rights during the year, this will negatively affect the cost of insurance;
- the maximum MTPL tariff is three times the size of the past maximum cost of the policy;
- in addition, a smooth transition to electronic vehicle passports is planned in 2018, so the information about the owner will be in a special single center, which will allow drivers not to show the traffic police the PTS, so it’s enough to have only registration information with you.
Thus, the procedure for registration and purchase of an insurance policy has been greatly simplified. Soon, each car owner will have only a certificate of registration of the vehicle, and the traffic police will be able to receive information on other documents in electronic form from various databases.
