In a comment to the Prime agency, he recalled that sometimes fines come without a supporting photo or with a photo, but without a violation.
Most often, these are letters from scammers.
They can be recognized when trying to pay, as the details are very different from the usual ones.
On the other hand, Utkin notes, the photos could not be uploaded to the database, and in this case the driver has 20 days to wait and then pay for the violation.
“If the photo arrives and a violation is visible on it, then you need to pay without question, regardless of what kind of violation it is ... If there is no violation in the photo, you can safely appeal the fine through the traffic police website or the same “State Services”, the lawyer explained.
So, for example, a fine can sometimes be counted due to a camera error, when a violation was committed by a driver in an adjacent lane.
In March, a new feature was added to the Gosuslugi Avto mobile application — with its help, users can appeal fines for traffic violations.
