On the Need to Take into Account Economic Factors when Determining the Amount of Administrative Penalties for Committing Offensesin the Field of Traffic

Abstract

The article analyzes the reasons for the Commission of certain administrative offenses in the field of traffic. It is concluded that the Commission of offenses for which the responsibility is provided for in article12.37 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation “Non-compliance with the requirements of compulsory insurance of civil liability of vehicle owners”, part 3 of article 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation “Violation of the requirements for the transportation of children established By the rules of the road” and a number of others, is caused primarily by economic factors, including the apparent disproportion between the amount of administrative punishment and economic benefit received by the offender in case of non-compliance with the established rules. In this regard, the author proposes to take into account not only the social danger of the committed illegal action, but also the economic component that affects the choice of the road user between the lawful and illegal variant of behavior when establishing the amount of punishment for administrative offenses in the field of road safety.
