Any number plate light vehicle- a very important element of the overall appearance of the car, because it is thanks to her that the numbers become readable at night. However, everything is not so simple here either, since lighting that does not comply with the norms of the law can easily cause a fine. How not to fall for such trifles and what you need to know about the features of self-installation of this attribute, you will learn from this article.
How should the number be highlighted?
License plate lighting provides for the installation of special bulbs, but only on the back of the car. Of course, this requirement will not affect the functionality of the machine itself in any way and is only necessary to ensure the readability of the number plate at night, but non-compliance with the rules for installing and operating these lighting elements leads to certain problems.
The illumination strength should be bright enough, but at the same time have a standard color, and all the bulbs provided for by the design should be constantly lit, because if at least one of them burns out and part of the registration plate is poorly distinguishable, this is fraught with penalties for the driver.
Penalty for not backlighting the number plate in Russia
For non-compliance with the conditions for the installation and operation of the backlight of the license plate, the driver will be fined, since it refers to external lighting devices. So, in accordance with Article 12.5 Part 3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, non-standard illumination of the front license plate threatens with punishment in the form of deprivation of the right to drive a car for a period of 6 to 12 months, with the withdrawal of existing devices and devices. A similar offense, which concerns the back numbers, is punished more leniently - a pecuniary penalty in the amount of 500 rubles or a verbal warning.
Note! In the absence of illumination rear number, the driver can avoid punishment, but only if the design of his car does not allow the installation of lighting devices, and this fact is noted in the technical documentation.
The basis for the imposition of penalties is the backlight, which does not allow the traffic police inspector to clearly distinguish license plates from a distance of 20 meters from the car. Nevertheless, in the current traffic rules there is one nuance that saves drivers. If you were stopped for the first time, then you can always say that before leaving the house, all car systems were working properly, and you learned about problems with the backlight from the inspector himself. In this case, you will be presented with a verbal warning and a requirement for the mandatory replacement of defective backlight bulbs within 24 hours.
Important! You can also check registration plates for legibility during the daytime, while at night the inspector checks only the back number, which can only be illuminated with white or pale yellow lamps.
Backlight tuning: what is possible and what is not
On the front of the vehicle, it is prohibited to install light devices or red reflective devices, as well as other light devices, the color of the lights and the operating mode of which do not comply with the requirements of the Basic Provisions for the Admission of Vehicles for Operation and the Duties of Officials to Ensure traffic. This is no longer a fine for the lack of backlighting, and an individual will have to pay not 500, but 3,000 rubles, while officials "get" 15,000 - 20,000, and legal ones - 400,000 - 500,000 rubles with confiscation specified instruments and devices.
It is also forbidden to install lights on the rear of the vehicle. reversing and license plate lighting with lights of any color other than white, as well as other lighting fixtures with lights of any color other than red, yellow or orange. It is also not allowed to install reflective devices of any color other than red (List of malfunctions and conditions under which PROHIBITED operation of vehicles, point 3.4). Based on this, installing a blue number plate backlight, which many drivers love so much, will also be a reason for imposing penalties.
Interesting fact!The first car number was issued in 1899 in Munich.
How to make your own license plate light
Today, there are several ways to create a license plate light for your vehicle, but the most popular of them is to replace standard lighting lamps with LEDs and install additional lighting. In the first case, you just need to unscrew the cover and replace the existing incandescent lamp with diodes of a suitable color.
To dismantle the cover, first remove the chrome strip from the bumper. When unscrewing the standard lighting elements, try to perform all actions with the utmost care, since the small holder on the body is very fragile. Having disassembled the ceiling into parts (for this, a thin flat screwdriver is used), it is necessary to degrease its inside before installing new elements. Thus, the easiest way to solve the problem is if the standard number plate light is not on.
Experts recommend buying only powerful LED bulbs, which, although they shine brightly, will not be too dazzling when looking at the number. It is best to pay attention to products with lenses. Despite the fact that they cost a little more, all license plate symbols will be clearly distinguishable, and you won’t have to worry about the economy and safety of this type of lighting.
Do-it-yourself additional illumination of the number is based on the same principle as the illumination of speakers and buttons using LEDs. To install it, you will need a piece of plexiglass (no more than 3 mm thick) with LEDs built into it (at least 8 pieces). The back and end of the glass must be sealed with foil, which in this case will play the role of a reflector. After that, you need to direct the LEDs to the corners and fill them with sealant, which will eliminate the possibility of moisture ingress. The final two wires must be connected to the backlight itself or to a separate button.
An LED strip, which is sold in various size and color variations, can also serve as materials for creating additional lighting. To begin with, cut off the necessary part of the material at the cut points, prepare a low-power soldering iron, as well as pieces of wires with a cross section of 0.75 mm and a length of 20 cm. The ends of these wires must be tinned with rosin, and then soldered to the diode tape.
Single-color tapes can be connected directly to the car's on-board network (plus, plus, minus to the body), but when installing multi-color products, you will have to additionally install a controller between the battery and the device itself (voltage goes to the battery). To attach the tape to the body of the vehicle, you can use special plastic clamps or fix it in a standard cover. Some LED strips have an adhesive base, which only helps with its installation.
Be that as it may, it is always worth remembering that a self-installed backlight can cause additional questions from traffic police officers, of course, if you decide to install non-standard color diodes. In particular, blue, yellow, red or any other backlighting of the number plate can entail not only a fine, but also the removal of license plates, along with deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle (for 6 months). Keep in mind that only white or pale yellow lighting elements are permitted by law.
After installing the LED backlight, be sure to check the quality of its work, and if you did everything right, then as a result you will certainly get a bright backlight for the number. According to the current legislation, it should be visible as clearly as possible. It is not recommended to install backlighting on the edges of the license plate. Despite the fact that there it will look much brighter, you can get a fine for this.
Do you know?The first "named" number in history was issued in 1901, when the German Rudolf Herzog presented his wife with a plate with her initials as a gift.
It is not worth taking risks and spoiling the mood and nerves of yourself and your guardians road rules. In order not to get into an unpleasant situation, it is necessary to carefully study the requirements of the traffic rules for backlighting the number and follow them in practice.

Every car owner knows that number plate lighting is very important at night. Such an element is not only important in the overall appearance of the car, but is also a strict requirement of the traffic police. It consists not only in lighting the license plate for good visibility, but also in its technical specifications which must comply with the norms of the adopted laws. Deviation from the norm can easily become the basis for a fine. Despite such harsh conditions, motorists manage to stylishly arrange the lighting moment in the backlight.
Penalty conditions
A certain car model has its own list of external lighting devices. Therefore, the penalties for malfunctioning or illegibility of the sign are different. In accordance with clause 3, part 3 of the general list of malfunctions, driving with a switched off or faulty light device is punishable by a fine. Even if the lighting works, but is splashed with mud and does not perform its functions qualitatively, this violation is also punishable by a fine.
brand-detail-img-title">According to the regulations, the license plate illumination is also an external lighting element
According to the norms, the registration plate illumination is also an external lighting element, and its malfunction or any defect necessarily provides for punishment.
There is an important point in operation road facility using lighting. If the rear number plate light is not on at all, and the car owner drove out in such a car, this can be regarded as an obstacle to the work of the inspector road service. However, the convention applies only to night time. If this happened during the day, then fines and punishments for this offense are not provided. For daylight hours, the cleanliness of the license plate is important.
There are cases when, for some reason or due to external factors, even one light bulb in the lighting device does not work, and this makes it impossible to read at least part of the number, this is also punishable by a monetary penalty. The amount of such a fine in 2017 is 500 rubles.
But there are several "saving" moments, in which case the fine is not charged:
- If one bulb in the device does not work, but the second is located so that it allows you to read the license plate, then there is no penalty for backlighting the back number. In this case, you can get by with a warning from the inspector. But it is for a non-working state that they can still be fined.
- If the lack of sufficient illumination is detected by the driver at the time of the stop by the inspector, then in this case a verbal warning will also be issued. But it is necessary to provide proof that the driver was not aware of the breakdown.
- If in technical design the car is not designed for lighting or a place for it, and the driver has a corresponding note in those coupons, this also exempts him from paying a fine.
brand-detail-img-title"> The amount of such a fine in 2017 is 500 rubles
If it is daytime, then there are no instructions in the current regulations on the penalty for non-burning backlighting of the number. It is only said that both numbers - front and rear - should be clearly read. At night, a mandatory norm is a serviceable light on the rear canvas. There is also a rule stipulated by the traffic rules, about the unreadability of even one character in the license plate, regardless of the time of day from 20 meters. This fact is also a violation, and for it you can get a fine.
For any motorist, the fines and warnings recorded in the protocol are morally unpleasant and can ruin the reputation exemplary driver, but also reflected in the wallet of the motorist. To avoid this, you should carefully inspect your vehicle before you leave it, and promptly eliminate breakdowns. In this case, you can avoid "ugly" marks in the rights, including a fine for the lack of illumination of the back number. It's such a small thing that it's easy to keep track of yourself.
Rules for using color in highlights
As noted above, the lighting of state registration numbers is an external lighting device, the use of color in it is limited.
The norms of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, which determine the color used in the front lighting, are quite strict. The introduction of a non-standard color scheme in the lighting of the front number plate of a car is punishable by deprivation of rights for a period of 6 to 12 months. Numbers are also confiscated along with lighting fixtures. It is forbidden to install the illumination of the front license plate using red, blue, green, other colors of lamps and reflective elements that are not provided for by the rules.
brand-detail-img-title">White plate highlighting allowed
To date, the fashion for neon and LED backlight in the form of frames and overlays is very common, but they must be used carefully. If the color is white or light yellow, this is allowed. It is not recommended to put lighting frames or ribbons with diodes along the edges of the room. It will look brighter and more attractive, but you can “get it” and a fine for such a backlight of the number from the road patrol service for a tidy sum.
Based on the basic provisions and requirements for operation and the admission of a particular vehicle for operation, equipping the rear number of the car with red lights is a malicious violation. This is regarded as the lack of required room lighting. For such "art" a private person may suffer in the amount of 3 thousand rubles. Individuals those who are in official work lose 15-20 thousand, but legal ones can receive a penalty in the amount of 400-500 thousand rubles and the seizure of lighting devices. Is the brightness and attractiveness worth that kind of money? It’s better to let the backlight of the number not burn, and a fine of 500 rubles will not hit your pocket so hard.
It is forbidden to use inappropriate colors in number plate rear lights, except:
- yellow;
- white;
- orange.
The same rule applies to reflective devices for better visibility.

Choosing the right backlight
To protect yourself and be sure that such a trifle as the absence or breakdown of light on the license plate will not lead to trouble, you need to install high-quality lighting elements.
Experienced experts advise changing factory backlights to more modern and high-quality ones. Powerful LED lamps that will meet all requirements are available in a large assortment. They will not flood the letters and numbers on the canvas with bright light and will not blind your eyes. Pay attention to light bulbs with lenses. These elements give a good, bright and diffused light, which allows you to clearly see the room. Let their cost be higher, but the economy and safety will pay for themselves over time.
Additional elements that will be auxiliary in the illumination around the rear number plate may be cheaper. To do this, you can use individual LEDs of certain colors. An ordinary LED strip can also serve as a source for creating lighting. Installing such devices is not difficult, but with their help you can reduce the likelihood of receiving a fine.

If the new lighting is installed correctly, tested for performance and resistance to external factors, the result will be bright and worthy of attention. But the main thing is that it does not interfere with viewing the license plate with all the designations.
When using an additional light source in the room area, you need to remember that there is still a risk during self-assembly, because you can make a mistake in choosing the color and correct setting. And such consequences can lead to the close attention of inspectors who ensure road safety.
Is it worth repeating that “show off” in the form of neon lights in blue, pink, green and other colors entails a fine, seizure of devices and deprivation of the right to drive for a certain period?
According to the current legislation, the license plates of all vehicles, tractors, special equipment and other machines must be readable even at night - for this purpose, rear license plate lights are installed on the equipment, which are described in detail in this article.
What is a license plate light?
Lantern (fire) for lighting the rear license plate (FONZ) is a device designed to illuminate the entire area of the installation site of the rear license plate on vehicles, tractors, motor vehicles and machines for various purposes.
FONZ is a special external lighting device that provides normal visibility and reading of the rear registration plate of the vehicle at night at a distance of at least 20 meters. The characteristics, location and regulations for the use of this lamp are standardized (both in Russia and in foreign countries), therefore, in the event of a breakdown or incorrect operation, it must be repaired or replaced as soon as possible. To make the right choice of lamp, you should understand existing types these devices and their features.
Types and design of license plate lights
The design of a collapsible license plate light with hidden installation
Lanterns are divided into several types according to the design, type of light source and electrical characteristics.
Today, there are a number of design versions of FONS:
- Single (individual) - a separate lamp in its housing, mounted above, below or on the sides of the license plate;
- Combined - a device that combines the rear position light and FONS;
- Combined - a device that combines several rear lights with FONZ ( rear pointers turn, rear fog light, etc.);
- Grouped - a device that combines all the rear lights, including FONS, in one housing.
In turn, single FOZN are of two main types:
- Collapsible - with a replaceable light source;
- Non-separable - the light source is placed in a non-separable housing.
Also, single lights differ in the way of installation:
- Open mounting - the device has a designed case, which is located on the body of the vehicle;
- Concealed mounting - the lamp is placed in a compact housing, which is mounted in a niche of the body, under a decorative element or in another place.
In the first case, the license plate light is one of the elements external design car, such a design can be seen on old UAZs, many domestic trucks, trailers and semi-trailers. In the second case, the body of the lamp is hidden, only its diffuser can be seen above, below or on the sides of the license plate - lamps on the bulk of modern vehicles have this design.
As a light source in all lamps can be used as standard incandescent lamps with various types socles, and LEDs. In one device, one or two lamps, or a number of LEDs can be located.
Structurally, all considered devices are fundamentally the same. If we are talking about individual lamps, then they are based on a plastic or metal case, inside of which there is a lamp (or lamps), and on the outer surface there is a transparent plastic diffuser. In this case, the reflector in these devices, as a rule, is absent. Typically, the lamp has an elongated shape, which ensures the best distribution of the light flux when installed above or below the license plate.
FONS in combined, combined or grouped lighting devices have a similar design, but their body is usually integrated with the body of the main device.
The vehicle can use one or more FONS. If there are two or more lamps, they are installed symmetrically with respect to the number, which provides its best illumination. It is allowed to install lanterns above, below and on the sides of the room.
Characteristics and features of the use of license plate lights
Characteristics, features and procedure for the use of the FONZ, as well as other external lighting and signaling devices of the vehicle, are regulated by domestic and international standards. These devices of all mechanical vehicles operated in Russia must meet the requirements of GOST R 41.48-2004 (common for all lighting and signaling devices), partially GOST 8769-75 (common for lighting devices of cars, tractors, trolleybuses and trailers / semi-trailers), GOST R 50577-93 (regulates license plates) and, most importantly, GOST R 41.4-99 (UNECE Regulation N 4, applies to cars and other equipment) and GOST R 41.50-99 (applies to motor vehicles), which establish requirements specifically for devices for lighting the rear license plates.
In accordance with the standards, fixtures for illuminating the rear license plate installation site must meet the following requirements:
- Installation is mandatory;
- The color of fire is only white (colorless);
- The strength of the light is such that the number is visible at a distance of up to 20 meters;
- The number of lanterns - any;
- Turning on the lights - it is mandatory to turn on this light at the same time as the front and rear position lights (as well as side marker and contour lights, if any).
FONZ should be installed both on cars and trucks, and on tractors, special equipment, trailers, semi-trailers and other equipment. Modern legislation establishes the presence of these devices on motorcycles, motor sleds and other motor vehicles.
We specifically point out that, according to paragraph 3.6 of the "List of malfunctions and conditions under which the operation of the vehicle is prohibited", the absence of a FONZ, or the presence of lighting devices of this type with any color other than white, are the reason for the prohibition of operation of the vehicle and the imposition of a fine. So if the lantern breaks down, it must be replaced or repaired as soon as possible.
How to choose and replace a license plate light
In the event of a lamp failure, as already mentioned above, it should be repaired or replaced as an assembly, and after that this device must fully meet the standards. Therefore, it is necessary to use a lamp or lamp of the same type that was previously installed on the car as a replacement. Confidence that the new device provides the required performance, gives its marking - it must contain the letter "L" (this is the designation of devices for lighting the rear license plate) and the certification mark "E" with one or another number. This marking is applied to the diffuser or reverse side lantern.
Work on replacing the lamp or the entire lamp must be carried out in accordance with the instructions for the repair and maintenance of the vehicle. If the lantern is collapsible, then the whole procedure, as a rule, comes down to the following:
- Unscrew the screws that secure the lamp or its diffuser;
- Dismantle the diffuser;
- Replace the lamp(s) or other damaged parts of the device;
- Assemble the lamp in reverse order.
If the lantern is non-separable, then the procedure is simplified - just remove the device from its niche (usually it is held on by latches, although fastening with screws is also possible), remove the wire from the electrical connector and install a new lantern in the reverse order.
Afterwards, the rear license plate lighting fixtures are maintenance-free and correct selection and replacing them ensure the normal operation of the vehicle.
Any vehicle that travels on roads must have a license plate light.
This is a very important element of the overall appearance of the car. It is she who ensures the readability of numbers at night. But there are some nuances here - there is a fine for the lack of illumination of the back number or if it does not meet the standards.
Illumination bulbs are only needed for the rear number plate. There are no such requirements for the front.
The backlight refers to external network devices. Its absence or malfunction is a violation of the rules of the road.
If a traffic police inspector finds a violation, even if the driver fixes the problem on the spot, he will still pay a fine under the Code of Administrative Violations.
In the case when the device works, but the car is so dirty that the lighting is almost imperceptible - this also applies to defects and is punishable by material compensation. The amount of the fine depends on different kind malfunctions.
If the backlight of the number plate does not light up at all, a fine is due. After all, in this way, the sign becomes unreadable.
Such a malfunction is perceived as a deliberate obstacle to the performance of the duties of authorized traffic police officers.
Vehicle movement with broken backlight numbers during the day, if they are well read, is not prohibited and is not a violation. But at night the numbers should be readable.
If at least one of several bulbs fails and only part of the license plate is darkened, this is considered a violation and a fine is due. In this case, its amount will be 500 rubles or a verbal warning.
In some cases, a burnt out device does not interfere with the readability of the license plate. This is possible if the second one works perfectly and is located in a place where greatest advantage lighting.
There will be no punishment for this. In accordance with the traffic rules of 2019, the inability to read at least one character on the license plate at any time of the day from a distance of 20 meters is a violation.
There is another rule, for non-observance of which there will be a punishment. It is forbidden to operate a vehicle with malfunctions, the presence of which causes a ban on driving a vehicle.
At the same time, it does not comply with the Basic Provisions for the admission of a car to operation. Violation is punishable by a fine of 500 rubles or an official warning.
Even if one light from the rear license plate light does not light up, but all symbols are visible and readable, the driver can be fined only for the non-working state of the number plate light.
Therefore, in the event of such a malfunction, it is better to replace it promptly in the daytime.
This can be done on your own or at a technical center, which will cost much less than a fine. In addition, the driver's reputation will not be defiled by an official warning.
The backlight of the front number does not matter, but if motorists want to highlight it too, then only white or yellowish lamps can be installed.
Otherwise, the following penalties are imposed, provided for by the Code of Administrative Offenses:
- the driver can be fined 3,000 rubles;
- lighting equipment will be confiscated;
- a ban on the use of this vehicle is possible;
- for repeated violation license plates will be removed.
Red lights or reflective devices must not be installed on the front of the vehicle.
Other lighting devices for which the color of lights and mode of operation is prohibited in accordance with the requirements of the General Regulations on Admission automotive vehicles to the operation and duties of traffic officials.
For such a violation, the amount of the fine is not the same as for the lack of illumination of the back number - the driver will have to pay 3,000 rubles. This applies to individuals.
For officials, the amount of the fine is much higher, it ranges from 15,000 to 20,000 thousand rubles. And for legal entities - 400,000-500,000 rubles, while the instruments and devices are confiscated.
Many motorists use blue lights as tuning to make them brighter. appearance car.
Blue lamps can be installed in headlights, in parking lights, on daytime running lights or in the backlight of the rear registration plate, as additional illumination under the bottom of the car.
A violation of the rules under which the operation of a vehicle is prohibited is the installation of certain colors of lighting devices that are not in the permitted list:
- Only white, yellow or orange lights can be installed at the front of the machine.
- Only red, yellow or orange lights may be installed at the rear of the vehicle.
- As for the rear number plate lighting and reversing lights, only white is allowed to be used.
Worth paying attention to important point regarding blue - it is not listed in the allowed list of colors. This means that the use of blue or blue light bulbs is in any case an offense in which the operation of a car is prohibited.
The Code of Administrative Offenses does not provide for a fine for blue backlighting of the license plate.. The driver will immediately be deprived of the opportunity to drive a car for a period of 6 to 12 months.
Information about this violation was not widely publicized, in contrast to the installation of xenon. Therefore, sometimes you can meet cars with the specified offense on the roads.
It is important for every driver who is going to install blue or blue lights to understand what he is risking.
If, when buying a car, a blue backlight of the number plate is found, then you need to replace the lamps with standard ones as soon as possible.
The same punishment threatens when installing lighting fixtures of other non-standard colors, although it is much less common:
- green;
- purple
- brown.
It is important to remember that you can also lose your rights for using the following:
- Red lights in front of the vehicle.
- White lights at the back of the car, except for the number plate light and reversing light.
- Multi-colored lamps except white, in the illumination of the rear license plate and reversing lamp.
There are times when the rear license plate light is not provided in the design of the car.. If the owner of the car has a valid technical inspection coupon, then the traffic police officer does not have the right to impose penalties.
Thus, in the absence of rear number plate illumination or its malfunction in 2019, a fine will follow. Its amount is 500 rubles.
For the first violation, you can simply get an official warning.. The fine is not very large, but the very fact of its presence is not pleasant, in addition, the price of a new light bulb is much cheaper.
Therefore, if such a malfunction is detected, it is better to immediately eliminate it in the daytime. This will not be difficult, but it will help to avoid an unpleasant situation when stopped by a traffic police officer.
According to the traffic rules, driving a car with defective lighting devices is strictly prohibited, since they are included in the list of car malfunctions. Accordingly, the law provides for a fine for the lack of illumination of the rear number. At the same time, no such conditions are imposed on registration signs located in the front part.
Requirements
According to the traffic rules, car registration symbols must be drawn up according to the standard, correctly mounted and readable. At the same time, the ability to make out what is shown on the plate must be preserved even in the dark hours of the day. For this, the backlight is used, which refers to the external lighting devices of the vehicle. Interestingly, the conditions of additional illumination do not apply to the front signs.
IMPORTANT! If the rear license plate lighting does not function, the defect is recognized as a vehicle malfunction. Driving with deviations from the norms, including damage or inoperability of any elements of the car, is considered a violation and is subject to a fine.
In the event of a partial defect, for example, if one of the bulbs does not light up or the device is covered with a layer of dust, dirt, due to which the light does not reach the symbol plate well, a monetary penalty may also be imposed. If the lighting does not work during the daytime, no sanctions are provided.
The amount of the fine
The Code of Administrative Violations of the Russian Federation provides for the imposition of a penalty for a complete or partial malfunction of the lighting of the rear registration signs in the evening, dark period of the day. Provided that the characters cannot be parsed. The amount is 500 rubles. In some cases, only a verbal warning may be imposed.
IMPORTANT! According to the traffic rules, the illegibility of registration plates from a distance of 20 m, regardless of the time of day, is a violation and entails a penalty in the form of a material contribution. The rule also applies to the front plate, but only during daylight hours.
Since license plate lighting is included in the category of external devices, its defect is unacceptable. For this, a financial penalty in the amount of 500 rubles is also due. This is evidenced by paragraph 3 of the list of car malfunctions with which movement is not allowed. This means that even if the signs on the plate can really be read with one inoperative light bulb, the punishment will still be assigned, but already due to the presence of a breakdown.
If the backlight is blue
The rules will be violated if the external lighting fixtures do not meet the requirements:
- orange, white, yellow lighting lights in the front;
- red, orange, yellow taillights motor vehicle;
- white license plate lights at the back.
IMPORTANT! Lighting the rear license plate with blue lights is prohibited. The presence of lights of this color is considered a malicious offense. The punishment is deprivation of driver's license for up to 1 year.
Also, punishment is provided for the placement of lighting devices of the following colors:
- green;
- brown;
- Violet;
- red light in front;
- white at the front, excluding registration plate lighting and reversing lights;
- colored lights, other than white, in the lighting of signs and reversing lights.
There is no penalty in this situation, as in the case if the illumination is blue. The penalty will be the removal of the driver's license.
On the video about license plate lighting
In the absence of illumination of the license plates of the registration of the car located at the back, a fine of 500 rubles is provided. Sanctions are also imposed in the event of a partial breakdown, since it is included in the list of vehicle malfunctions, movement with which is unacceptable.
