In 2024, the State Traffic Inspectorate imposed 4,264,797 fines for various traffic offences, amounting to a total of RUB 3.5 billion. These violations included driving in the wrong lane, failing to properly secure children during transportation, operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, having tinted windows, failing to wear a seatbelt and mobile phone usage while driving.

In 2024, Dagestan became the first region in Russia to impose a sentence under Article 267.1 of the Criminal Code, specifically related to endangering road safety. The offender, a driver of a Porsche Cayenne, faced legal consequences. A similar situation is currently under consideration regarding a blogger who engaged in drifting during a wedding procession.

It is worth noting that in 2025, several amendments to road safety regulations were introduced, including a reduction in the discount on traffic fines to 25% within a 30-day period, automatic renewal of driver's licenses for three years, mandatory display of the Russian flag on vehicle plates (with a penalty of RUB 500 for non-compliance) and stricter fines for specific offenses.
