Vehicle drivers found without GEO tagged risk receiving automated fines from road cameras.
Russia is set to implement a new system for monitoring compliance with mandatory auto liability insurance rules, starting from November 1, 2025. This announcement was made by Ekaterina Solovyova, an automotive lawyer and expert from the "People's Front. Analytics" direction, to RIA Novosti.
The new system is designed to make it easier to detect the absence of an OСАГO policy, a mandatory insurance for vehicle owners in Russia. It will use road cameras to identify vehicles without valid OСАГO policies and cross-reference their registration numbers with a unified database of insured vehicles. All officially registered insurance policies in Russia are automatically entered into a general electronic system.
Currently, approximately 10-15% of drivers in Russia still operate vehicles without a valid insurance policy. This new system aims to reduce this number significantly. Solovyova stated that the new system will be economically beneficial for insurance companies because it will force drivers to obtain a policy.
However, the search results do not provide explicit information about who is planning the financing of the implementation of this new system.
It's worth noting that the fine for driving a vehicle without an OСАГO policy is 800 rubles. Repeat offenses of driving without an OСАГO policy can result in a fine of up to 5,000 rubles. Contesting a potential fine for driving without a valid OСАГO policy can be done by presenting a valid policy.
This new system is expected to bring about a significant change in the enforcement of mandatory auto liability insurance in Russia, ensuring safer roads for all users.
