One of the mandatory documents confirming that the car is used legally is a travel document. It is necessary for transport owned by a legal or natural person in the status of IP. Riding without a travel document in cases established by law is punishable in accordance with the legislation.
When do you need a ticket?
As a type of document, the travel document has a commercial purpose. Its main goals are to control fuel consumption, as well as the duration of the driver’s work, confirm certain information for tax reporting, etc. The travel list includes basic information about the owner of the car, the driver, registration information about the vehicle itself, the latest technical checks and traffic plan.
Driving without a travel document is prohibited in several cases provided for by law:
when using cars or trucks for commercial transportation of goods;
when transporting people and luggage by public transport, for example by bus;
- taxi activities.
Transport on the balance sheet of legal entities: for the transportation of commercial cargo and passengers, in this case, a travel document will be required. If the car is designed to transport employees of the enterprise, the registration of a travel document will also be mandatory.
Since the date of compilation of the sheet, its storage period is 5 years. At the end of this period, it shall be updated.
What is the danger of driving without a travel document?
A fine for driving without a travel document is threatened if traffic police officers during the check of the driver's documents find the absence of this important paper. Sometimes such a violation is detected accidentally during a general check of documents. In the case of commercial trucks, such monitoring is usually targeted, so the risk of such sanction is very high. And even in the presence of a decorated travel list, but in the absence of it at a particular time, the offender still expects a fine.
The amount of the fine may be different. The minimum monetary penalty for the absence of a sheet is 500 rubles. At the same time, the absence of a document during the ride for IP and LLC is fraught with the payment of a fine of 100,000 or more.
Incorrectly designed travel list, for example, in the absence of certain signatures, marks or data, will also be considered a violation. So, if the sheet is issued by an individual entrepreneur or LLC, the document must be stamped with the company, the date and time of departure of the car are indicated.
Driving without a travel document is considered a significant violation if a car of any format is used for commercial purposes. At the same time, not only the absence of a document at all, but also the inability of the driver to present it during an inspection by law is considered a serious violation and is punishable by a fine.
