Documents for the towbar for the traffic police. Installing a towbar: is it possible to do everything yourself? When is registration required

16.01.2022

Good afternoon, dear reader.

(or towing device) - a special element of the car, designed to secure the trailer. In simple terms, the towbar is the hook on which the trailer is put on. That is, if there is no towbar, then the trailer cannot be used.

In recent years, the legislation has undergone many changes, including those related to the use of additional equipment, and readers of the site are increasingly sending questions about how legal it is to use a towbar.

Let me remind you that for an unauthorized change in design in 2019, you can get not only, but also.

Do I need to register a towbar with the traffic police in 2020?

In this case, it all depends on the towbar itself and on the documents available for it:

  • If there are documents for the towbar, then the driver does not need to contact the traffic police to make changes to the registration certificate. You can simply install the towbar and safely operate the car with a trailer.
  • If no documents or they cannot be restored, then the installation of the towbar is a design change that should be registered with the traffic police.

Note. The required documents for the towbar will be discussed below.

For example, if the original towbar is installed on the car at the factory, then no additional actions need to be taken when contacting the traffic police to register the car. If the traffic police have any questions about the TSU in the future, it will be possible at any time to request documents from the automaker and defend your own innocence.

On the other hand, if the towbar is made independently and simply welded to the car body, then this is a design change. To register it, you need to contact the traffic police. Moreover, it is far from a fact that permission for the installation will eventually be obtained.

Let me remind you that the algorithm for making changes to the design of the vehicle is considered in a separate article:

It implies that the car owner must contact various organizations 7 times, i.e. quite laborious.

In this regard, in practice, such an option is also possible. If the towing device is already installed on the machine, but there are no documents for it and it is impossible to restore them, then it may turn out to be easier, faster and cheaper buy a new towbar with documents than trying to issue a change in the design of the car in the traffic police.

Documents for the towbar of a car

In 2019, it is valid in Russia. It is this document that vehicles and equipment installed on them must comply with.

Consider paragraph 77 of section 4 of chapter V of the technical regulation:

77. Vehicles are not subject to inspection in the following cases:

1) when installing components on a vehicle:

  • designed for this vehicle and passed the conformity assessment as part of this vehicle, which is confirmed by the documentation of the component manufacturer;
  • provided by the vehicle manufacturer in the operational documentation;

2) when making serial changes to the design on the basis of the design documentation developed and agreed in the prescribed manner, if on its basis an assessment of the conformity of the changes made was carried out.

So, there are 2 cases in which the towbar can not be registered with the traffic police:

  • When serial changes are made to the design. In this case, we are talking about the installation of the TSU at the factory.
  • When installing a tow bar as an accessory, if 2 conditions are met at the same time:
    • The manufacturer has provided for the installation of a towbar in the operational documentation. In this case, it is about instruction manual, which is issued with the purchase of any car. Open this document and find the section on using a trailer. If there is such a section, then everything is in order.
    • The towbar must have the manufacturer's documentation confirming that it is intended for use on your car model and has passed the conformity assessment.

In this way, list of required documents to use the towbar:

  • Vehicle operation manual.
  • Documents for the towbar, confirming that it is suitable for the car of the desired model.
  • Certificate for the towbar, confirming that it complies with the requirements of the Technical Regulations.

Note, carry these documents with you and present them to the traffic police officers not required. They can also be stored at home. Just if the traffic police officer has questions about the towbar, immediately tell him that you have all the necessary documents and the towing device is installed legally. Usually this is enough. If the policeman nevertheless decides to issue, then you can challenge it on the basis of the available documents.

What to do if there are no documents for TSU?

If you do not have the documents listed above for the towbar, then contact the manufacturer of this equipment in order to obtain copies. Self-respecting organizations provide copies of documents without any problems.

You can contact:

  • in electronic form - through the website of the organization;
  • personally - through an official representative in your city;
  • by mail - by registered mail.

If it is not possible to restore the documents, then either the option remains with the purchase of a new coupling device, or the official introduction of changes to the design through the traffic police.

Note. Some organizations offer buy a package of documents for a towbar. I recommend ignoring such proposals, because. Manufacturer's documents are available only from the manufacturer. If such documents are issued by another organization, they will be fake.

What to do if you plan to buy a towbar?

If you are just planning to install a trailer hitch on your machine, then you have come to this article just in time.

What to do if the towbar is already installed?

If at least one of the documents is missing, you should contact the towbar manufacturer and request them. As practice shows, manufacturers send missing documents without any problems.

Please note that if you buy a used car with a towbar, then the documents must be taken from the previous owner. Otherwise, the traffic police may require you to dismantle the equipment before registering the car.

Let's summarize this article:

  1. Most of the towbars are accompanied by the necessary documents, i.e. they can be installed without registering with the traffic police.
  2. If there are no documents for the coupling device, then they should be requested from the manufacturer.
  3. If it is impossible to obtain documents, then it remains either to dismantle the towbar, or to issue it as a change in the design of the vehicle.

Good luck on the roads!

Good afternoon. And how will the traffic police inspector react to a towbar with a removable hook? There is no hook, the socket sticks out, and everything else is a bumper amplifier.

Alexander, Hello.

In this case, a part of the towbar (socket) must be considered in the same way as the whole towbar. That is, if there are documents (for the entire set, or only for the outlet), then there will be no problems with the traffic police. If there are no documents, then the socket is an unauthorized design change and may raise questions from the traffic police.

Good luck on the roads!

Another way to steal money from people. All my life everyone drove with towbars and no one cared, but then they figured it out. Everyone who lives in the regions has towbars on cars and trailers - it is necessary to take out the garbage from the yard and bring building materials. This is in big cities trailers are not needed. So the inhabitants of the hinterland "the richest" will fall under the blow of our authorities. We just figured out the "thorns" sign, and how much money they ripped off from people and everything is covered, now they took up the towbars !!!

I bought a Chevrolet Niva 2123-55 at a car dealership in 2014 with additional options, including a forkop (w / Niva) Stupino. They just issued an order for an installation order. In 2015, the car dealership was closed. And they won’t find documents there. They say they destroyed it after 3 years. How to be? There is a copy of OTTS (I copied it)..

Eugene-272

All my life everyone drove with towbars and no one cared, but then they figured it out.

"All my life" towbars have been produced by a "couple" of manufacturers, and now probably only the lazy one does not manufacture or install them (everything is figurative). This is necessary, first of all, in order to exclude unscrupulous manufacturers and installers. That's why they carry out this "registration" of towbars, while checking the relevant documents. You don’t want one trailer to drive into the oncoming lane, do you?

Anwar What problem do you want to solve at the moment?

If you want to get documents for the towbar, then contact the manufacturer of this towbar.

Many motorists who install a towbar on their cars are increasingly wondering whether it is necessary to register the device with the traffic police, and what will happen if you drive with an unregistered device.

It happens that employees of the State traffic inspectorate may refuse to issue a vehicle on which a towbar is installed. At the same time, the refusal was motivated by the fact that changes were made to the design of the vehicle. In order to find out whether you need to register this device, you need to understand the topic in more detail.

What are towbars?

A tow hitch is a fairly common towing device, which is often used as an accessory for towing. Most often it comes in handy for trailers, as well as transporting trailers and bicycles.

With this device, the trailer attachment will be reliable, since it evenly distributes the load created by inertia and weight, and allows you to transport trailers relatively safely.

In addition, properly installed, it will not spoil the look of the car and will not interfere with viewing numbers.

All towing devices can be divided into several groups, which depend on the attachment:

  • Removable - they are attached using special locks;
  • Conditionally removable devices that are bolted;
  • Welded fixtures;
  • End fittings.

According to safety regulations, any tow hitch must be removable. At the same time, removable (flange) varieties are mounted on specially designated areas behind the car and are bolted. This design is reliable and suitable even for heavy loads, but in order to install it, you will need a special frame.

Do I need to register a towbar?

Any changes that are made to the structural part of the vehicle are subject to registration. In the case of a towbar, devices that are not regulated by the manufacturer are subject to registration, and in order to pass the registration procedure, it is necessary to go through an examination process.

It should be clarified that most manufacturers still allow the installation and use of a towbar, in which case the device will not need registration. However, there are some exceptions when the manufacturer does not allow the use of TSU on some models. In addition, you need to understand that in cases where the device is non-standard in size or shape, or is located incorrectly, closing the license plate number, there is a high probability that state traffic inspectors can focus on it.

The same applies to devices that are fixed in a place not intended for this by the manufacturer, as well as such devices that are welded or permanently fixed in other ways, implying a change in design.

Another option to bypass registration is to look at the OTTS, which lists the characteristics of the car. It is there that you can find the possibility of towing a trailer indicated by the manufacturer, which, in particular, involves the installation of a device. In this case, if the possibility of a tug is specified in the document, and the device itself was installed without making any changes to the design, this means that mandatory registration of such a device is not required.

So, it is not necessary to register the device in the following situations:

  • When the installation of the TSU is provided by the manufacturer;
  • When the device has a certificate of conformity and a passport;
  • When the hitch is installed according to the instructions and does not violate the design of the car.

When buying a towbar, you need to get a device passport, a copy of the certificate of conformity certified by the seller, as well as a check.

Registration of design changes in the traffic police

Registration of changes made to the design of the car is a fairly simple matter.

Registration of a towbar in the traffic police - this process is divided into the following stages:

  • Preliminary examination in the department of the State traffic inspectorate;
  • Examination after changes are made;
  • Safety assessment.

After the second stage is completed, the traffic police issues a certificate to the car owner based on the protocol of the technical examination.

Conclusion

Many car manufacturers provide the possibility of towing in their models, so in some cases registration of the towbar is not required. However, if its installation involves welding, drilling or other changes to the existing vehicle structure, such changes will have to be recorded.

The luggage compartment of any car has limited capacity, so bulky cargo has to be transported in a trailer connected to the car through a tow bar. Since the traffic police consider the hitch of this device to be a change in the design of the vehicle, they insist on the mandatory registration of the towbar. Without fulfilling this condition, problems may arise with passing the next technical inspection or, for example, when traveling abroad.

What is a towbar and why it needs to be registered

The towbar is a towing device designed for towing large objects: trailers, trailers, in some cases - bicycles. It allows you to evenly distribute the inertial weight load from a trailer located behind a moving car. Only in this case can we talk about compliance with safety requirements in the implementation of road traffic.

Any change in the structural part of the car is subject to registration, one of the stages of which is the passage of technical expertise. Only a positive conclusion can guarantee the reliability and safety of the device operation. Therefore, traffic police officers have the right to limit the ability to drive a vehicle with a towbar without going through the appropriate procedure.

Is this required for all vehicles?

If the towbar is included in the original equipment of the car, you will not be fined.

If the towbar is provided by the factory equipment of the car or its operation is regulated by the manufacturer, then in this case you will not need to go through the registration procedure.

Obligations to obtain an opinion and a safety certificate arise in the following cases:

  • the manufacturer's prohibition to use the tow hitch;
  • its non-standard size or shape;
  • incorrect location covering registration plates;
  • fastening in a place not provided by the manufacturer;
  • stationary fastening by welding (usually the towbar is fastened by screwing in bolts and nuts).

In order to avoid problems when meeting with traffic police officers, even if the towing device is installed correctly and permitted by the manufacturer's standards, when buying a towbar, you must obtain from the seller and carry the following documents with you:

  • device passport;
  • certificate of conformity - a copy of the document certified by the seller;
  • receipt of payment for the purchase or invoice for it.

How do I know if my vehicle is allowed to tow a trailer if the owner's manual is not available? Information about this is contained in the load table, the standard location of which is on the right middle pillar of the car or under the hood. If the line on the possibility of attaching a trailer does not contain information, the towbar is subject to mandatory registration.

What law governs this process

The obligation to register a tow hitch is regulated by the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union TR TS 018/2011 “On the safety of wheeled vehicles”, which entered into force in January 2015. According to section 4 of chapter 5 of this regulatory act, expert procedures will not be required only if the manufacturer provides for the use of additional components. As a rule, this point is reflected in the Owner's Manual of a particular vehicle in the form of a separate section, which also contains instructions for installing and safely operating the towing device.

Required documents

The registration procedure provides for a repeated visit to the traffic police, and each time it will be an individual package of documents. So, for a preliminary inspection, you will need to submit:

  1. Statement on the form of traffic police.
  2. A two-sided copy of the vehicle's passport.
  3. Vehicle registration certificate.

After installing the towing device, the set of documents will become different:

  1. Diagnostic card from the organization conducting maintenance.
  2. Passport and certificate of conformity for the tow bar.
  3. Application-declaration from the car service that performed the installation of the structure.
  4. Preliminary review decision.

The procedure for registering a towbar in the traffic police in 2019

The appearance of a towbar is a good reason to visit the traffic police

In general, the procedure for registering a trailer at the traffic police department consists of three stages:

  1. Preliminary examination of the product in the traffic police.
  2. Examination after installation of the towbar.
  3. Safety assessment.

The algorithm of actions of the car owner is as follows:

  1. Visit the nearest traffic police department with a package of documents for a preliminary examination.
  2. Receive a decision on the appointed day.
  3. It is better to install the towbar in a specialized center so that there are no problems with collecting the papers necessary for the second stage - an application-declaration from the auto center.
  4. Carry out inspection and get a diagnostic card.
  5. Pass a technical examination in the traffic police.

The final document is a certificate issued on the basis of the protocol of technical expertise.

What is the penalty for non-registration?

When operating an unregistered towbar, the traffic police inspector has the right to issue a fine, especially if the tow hitch:

  • non-standard form;
  • closes license plates;
  • installed in the wrong place.

The fine for operating a towing unit without registration is 500 rubles, however, if it is paid within 20 days from the date of the decision, it is permissible to pay only half of this amount.

You can avoid a fine in the absence of registration documents for the towbar in the following cases:

  • in the absence of other traffic violations during the year, the inspector has the right to limit himself to a warning;
  • operate a removable model;
  • the towing device is provided by the manufacturer;
  • the towbar is certified for a specific model of the machine (clause 77 of the Technical Regulations).

It will also be considered a violation to exceed the permissible mass of cargo for towing together with the trailer and the car itself. Thus, category B does not imply driving skills, the total weight of which with a loaded trailer exceeds 3.5 tons. To do this, you need to open category E.

Thus, if the manufacturer provides for the possibility of towing, then registration of the towbar is not required. If, for its fastening, it is necessary to drill or otherwise change the structural part of the car, then a visit to the traffic police cannot be avoided. During the entire period of operation, it is necessary to have the passport of the device and the certificate of conformity at hand for presentation to the inspectors.

The towbar is a towing device (TSU) , which is set on the car for the purpose of connecting a trailer to it.

The towbar can be installed in the regular places provided for it in the service center or independently, if this does not require violating the design of the machine. That is, welding, drilling, etc. are not used.

Effective January 1, 2015Technical regulation "On the safety of wheeled vehicles" TR CU 018/2011 (hereinafter referred to as the Technical Regulations). It regulates the process of making structural changes to the structure of the car.

The installation of a towbar does not apply to such changes if the manufacturer has provided places for its fastening and has included it in the list of additional equipment for this car model.

In the absence of data on the TSU in the type approval of the vehicle (OTTS) and the manufacturer's documentation, its installation will be a change in the design of the machine. In this case, permission to install it is given by the traffic police. This is evidenced by clause 7.18 of the SDA and the Law "On Road Safety" No. 196-FZ of 12/10/1995.

Important. If the car is not in use, no one has the right to fine the owner for his conversion.

When operating a machine with a towing device (TSU), the following papers must be available:

1. Passport (installation instructions) of the towbar with a car service mark on its installation.

2. A copy of the TSU certificate.

3. Act of work done.

Do I need to register a towbar with the traffic police: new rules for installing a towbar on a car

Many drivers are concerned about the question:how to legally install a traction device?

You need to register with the traffic police any changes made to the design of the car. Installation of a tow bar on almost all car models is allowed by the manufacturer. This is indicated in the user manual.

Mounting of the TSU does not apply to structural changes to the vehicle.

The towbar does not need to be registered with the traffic police in the following cases:

1. TSU installation is provided by the manufacturer.

2. The towbar has a passport and a certificate of conformity.

3. The device for the trailer is installed according to the instructions given in the passport, i.e. the design of the machine has not been changed.

When installing a towbar on a car, you should be guided by the information from the operational documents for the car. If they reflect that the installed TSU is certified for use as part of this vehicle, then it is not necessary to register the changes.

The new rules establish: TSU is not checked and not approved by the traffic police (clause 77 of the Technical Regulations) in the following cases:

1. The hitch is designed for this car.

2. An assessment of the compliance of the TSU with the car was made, there are supporting documents.

3. Installation is provided by the manufacturer.

Information about whether this vehicle is allowed to tow a trailer is indicated in itsload table. It is located on the right middle pillar of the car or under the hood. It informs about the possibility of connecting a trailer.

If the corresponding line contains no data,hitch must be registered with the traffic police .

Requires registration of the TSU, attached by bolts or welded to the power elements of the machine, and necessary for serious traction loads.

When installing the towbar with your own hands, the following rules should be observed:

1. Selecting a device suitable for a specific make and model of car.

2. Reading the instructions for the TSU.

3. Preparing the necessary tools.

4. Dismantling the bumper and its amplifier.

5. Installation of beams and brackets to the side members of the body according to the scheme specified in the instructions.

6. Fastening the socket box to the beam; connecting the wiring harness to the beam with plastic cords.

7. Pulling the harness through the opening in the rear panel.

8. Wiring, a connector for it is on the car diagram.

9. Connection of two blocks.

10. Installation of removed parts of the machine.

Attention! The bolts connecting the TSU elements with the body must be carefully tightened. If the attachment points are rusted, they should be treated with anticorrosive.

Competent installation of TSU will ensure the duration of its operation, reliability in transit and trouble-free operation.

What documents are needed to register a towbar in the traffic police?

To register the TSU in the traffic police and obtain a certificate, you first need to pass a technical examination.

Stage 1. Preliminary inspection in the traffic police

The car owner must visit the traffic police and write an application for a preliminary examination of the design of the car, submit documents to the window and receive a decision after a certain period.

The following documents must be submitted to the Inspector:

1. Application of the established form (issued by the traffic police).

2. PTS (two-sided copy).

3. Documents for the hitch.

4. Registration certificate passenger car cars.

Stage 2. Examination after changes with a safety assessment

A TSU is installed on the car.

The work must be carried out by a specialized center that will issue supporting documents: an act of work performed, an application-declaration, a copy of the certificate of conformity.

The owner drives the car for inspection, where they check the safety of design changes and draw up a diagnostic card.

Then the technical examination is carried out by the traffic police and a certificate is issued.

To obtain it, the car owner provides:

1. Diagnostic card.

2. TSU purchase agreement and other documents.

3. Towbar certificate.

4. Declaration from the car service.

5. Application and decision rendered by the preliminary examination.

When installing a towbar on a passenger car is prohibited - the amount of the fine

Legislation prohibits installing a towbar on a machine if it is not listed as an option in the OTTS.

A copy of the document can be requested from the dealership or from the car manufacturer. It is received by firms that produce or import cars in the Russian Federation.

Equip a car with a hitchnot allowed if it is prohibited to use a trailer.

Yes, havingcategory "B" , driving with a trailer is legal if its weight is not higher than the maximum curb weight of the car. And the permitted masses of the car and trailer in total are not higher than 3.5 tons.

In other cases, or for the use of a heavy trailer, it is necessary category "E" .

When inspecting a car with a towbar, the inspector may issue a fine if the tow hitch:

1. Non-standard or defective.

2. Closes license plate or optics.

3. Installed in places not specified by the manufacturer.

If you encounter problems when registering a car due to the presence of a towbar, you should ask the traffic police officer for a written explanation of why he imposed a ban on registration.

Based on the clarifications received, one can writecomplaint addressed to the head of traffic police .

Fine for TSU provides for Part 1 of Art. 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. Its size is 500 rubles. It can be paid with 50% discount. This is permitted by Art. 32.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. This can be done within 20 days from the date of issue.

Important. Driving without registering structural changes to a car implies administrative responsibility and increases the danger to the life and health of road users.

Is it possible to avoid a fine for a towbar without registering it with the traffic police?

Is it possible to avoid administrative punishment?

The car owner can prevent the issuance of a fine for the presence of a towing devicein several ways:

1. First, you should have a dialogue with the inspector that everything will be fixed in the near future

Ask him to confine himself to a warning. The legitimacy of this is confirmed by Art. 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.

This tactic is especially effective if the driver has not violated traffic rules in the last 6 months or a year.

2. Using a detachable towbar

At the same time, it is difficult to logically state that these design changes will affect the likelihood and outcome of an accident.

Any reasonable inspector will accept this point of view, since there is no protruding element.

3. The towing hitch is installed at the factory, or there are fasteners for it

At the same time, the towbar is not a constructive change to the car.

4. Reference to paragraph 77 of the Technical Regulations

If the requirements of this document for a car are met - the hitch is certified for the car on which it is installed - it means that the traction device has been evaluated and you can drive with it.

So, if there is a towbar, it needs a certificate of conformity with the Technical Regulations. Thanks to the certificate, the traffic police officer will not be able to fine the car owner.

If the installation of the TSU does not provide for structural changes to the machine, does not cover the license plate , you can install it yourself. Additional registration in the traffic police is not required.

A tow hitch is a towing device designed for transporting trailers or trailers with a car. TSU is installed on many vehicles by the manufacturer. However, some motorists mount these elements on their own. Before performing the installation, you need to know what the requirements of the traffic police are for the towbar in 2019.

Towbar on a car, has several types:

  • Welded.

Attaches firmly to the vehicle. The most dangerous for road users, its use on cars is prohibited.

  • Folding.

This device has hinges in its design, thanks to which the device is easy to fold and put away under the car bumper. Some companies produce electrically operated folding towbars that are controlled directly from the passenger compartment.

  • Removable.

TSU is installed by snapping a special lock. Removable towbar is the safest towing device for operation. The part is easy to install and also easy to remove, so this type of hitch is popular with motorists.

When choosing a TSU, it is necessary to take into account the dimensions of the part. Otherwise, the vehicle may not be allowed to operate.

Can it be installed on a car

The law does not prohibit the installation of a TSU on a car, however, this is a change in the design of the vehicle that needs to be legalized. Otherwise, the driver is punished by the traffic police.

Modified trunks and towbars will be approved by the traffic police. This is done so that the changes made to the design of the car do not threaten the safety of the driver and other road users. When installing the TSU on your own, you should take into account the requirements of the rules of the road regarding the installation of additional equipment on the vehicle.

Legal installation rules

The provisions for the installation of a towbar and its subsequent registration with the traffic police are regulated by the technical regulation "On the safety of wheeled vehicles" TR CU 018/2011. This traffic rule was introduced on January 1, 2015.

If the manufacturer has provided places for attaching the tow hitch, and also included this equipment in the list of additional devices for the machine, then its installation is not a change in the design of the vehicle and does not require registration. However, when checking, the inspector will need to present a passport for the towbar, and its certificate of conformity.

If the car is converted on its own, then for this, it is necessary to obtain the appropriate permission from the traffic police. Otherwise, the car will not be allowed for operation, since its use without a trailer will reduce the safety of other road users. Therefore, after making changes, they are put on record.

After the conversion, you will need to carry with you the TSU passport, a mark on its installation, a copy of the certificate of conformity, as well as an act of work done.

When is installation prohibited?

The legitimacy of operating a car equipped with a towbar is regulated by employees of the State Inspectorate for Road Safety. If additional equipment is not installed on the car according to the rules, or poses a potential threat to the life and health of road users, then a driving ban is imposed on such a car. In accordance with the traffic rules, a car with trailed equipment cannot be used if:

  1. The installation was not carried out according to the rules, serious interference was made in the design of the car. When installing traction devices not provided by the vehicle manufacturer, the part is connected to the car body by welding or self-tapping screws, the holes for which are made independently. However, this is prohibited by traffic rules.
  2. The hitch protrudes strongly beyond the bumper. This poses a threat to vehicles driving behind, in a collision, the vehicle behind will receive much more damage.
  3. The inability of the machine to tow trailers or trailers. Each car has a maximum load capacity, on some models, manufacturers do not provide for the use of trailers or trailers. Installing a towbar, and using it for its intended purpose, can reduce the life of the car, and lead to emergency situations.
  4. Lack of required documents. Provided that the installation and type of trailer equipment complies with the rules, you need to acquire the relevant documents and put changes in the design into account. Otherwise, such tuning will be considered illegal.

Required documents

After registering the converted car, the motorist receives a number of documents that he needs to have with him to confirm the legality of the installation of the TSU:

  • Certificate of conformity for towbar.

Changes are approved by the state traffic inspectorate. After successful registration with the traffic police, the driver receives a certificate of registration of the modified vehicle.

  • Certificate of completion.
  • Passport for traction additional equipment, with a note from the car service where the installation took place.

Also in the glove compartment there should be a driver's license, documents for the car and the TCP, notes on the passed technical inspections are entered into it.

If the driver refuses to register changes in the design of the car, then an administrative fine is imposed on him.

fines

When installing the tow hitch yourself, you need to know what punishment awaits the driver for using the towing device without registration. Violation is punishable by a warning or a fine.

Installing an additional traction device on the machine allows you to use the vehicle as a tractor for trailers and trailers. However, installation must be carried out in accordance with all the rules. Only in this case it will be possible to avoid constant fines, and harm to the life and health of other road users.
