What is the penalty for toning?
The summer in Russia has the maximum solaractivity, so you need to protect yourself and passengers from suffocation in the car. But in the country that conducts the war on terrorism, it has been forbidden to tint windows. But is it so bad or something is possible to do? Still, there are ways how to avoid a fine for toning. But first you need to know what kind of problem we are dealing with.
What is the penalty for tinting?
Technical regulations of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate for 2012-2013provides for a fine for toning in the amount of 500 rubles. This is about how much penalty for removable tinting. In addition, if you refuse to remove the tint on the spot (and exceeding the technical regulations for the tinting of glasses is a technical malfunction with the inability to continue operation), then you can detain the state registration numbers of the car. It is worth saying that the regulations for 2012-2013 practically prohibit tinting as such. If you follow the logic of the technical documentation:
- You can crate the film over the windshield with a strip.
- You can tonify the windshield with light penetration of at least 75%.
- You can tonify the side windows with light penetration of at least 70%.
But the problem is that the penetration ratelight even through unshielded glass is 80-85%. So it's quite difficult to calculate toning. But the driver is still waiting for a ban on the operation of the vehicle, if there is no possibility to remove the tint immediately or the factory tinted windows are installed on the car.
How to avoid a fine for toning
If, nevertheless, you were stopped by DPS officers, do not rush to "negotiate on the spot", no matter how you are hinted at. You should know that:
DPS employees can measure tinted glasses only at a stationary post.

That is, if you are frightened by the miracle technique "maid in china", and it is not on this list, then you can safely go on. The most common of the permitted means of measurement: ISS-1, "Light", "Blick-N."
Measurement is carried out only with the involvement of witnesses. Find them is already the problem and duty of the inspector.
The gauge should be shown to you for inspection. In the attachment points to the glass there should not be any films that distort the figures clearly not in your favor.
The inspector has no right to detain you for a long time without presenting a record. You can threaten him with appeal decisions - then the desire to make you rip off the tint disappears.
The glass can be measured only by the inspectortechnical supervision of the traffic police. So if you measured the glass on your car took the same inspector, which stopped you, then this is a violation. If the employee who stopped you called a colleague, then it is worthwhile to clarify whether he is an employee of the technical supervision of the DPS.
And finally, the most fun: find out the reason for the stop. Having destroyed the psychological pattern of the inspector's behavior, you save your time, because in this case you will hear the long-awaited "Pass!". After all, the easiest way, how to avoid a fine for toning, is to know your rights.
