Motorcyclists without helmets will now be fined automatically.
The State Traffic Inspectorate reminded drivers in the Sverdlovsk region that the presence of a motorcycle helmet is a mandatory condition for operating motorcycle equipment. In this motorcycle season, which will officially open after April 25, the automatic violation detection systems will be "retrained," as a result of which all motorcyclists without helmets will be fined automatically using cameras. In 2026, there have already been 30 road traffic accidents in the Sverdlovsk region, resulting in 2 fatalities. The State Traffic Inspectorate reminds that:
- operating a motorcycle without a driver's license may result in the vehicle being detained;
- transporting children under 12 years old on the back seat of a motorcycle is prohibited;
- children under 16 years old are not allowed to operate a motorcycle without a driver's license;
- a motorcycle driver's license can be obtained from the age of 16 (for light motorcycles up to 125 cm³ and mopeds), and for operating motorcycles without power restrictions only after 18 years old (category "A" license).
