Failure by Parents or Other Legal Representatives of Minors to Fulfill Their Obligations to Teach the Latter the Traffic Rules, to Foster a Responsible Attitude to Their Compliance, Expressed in the Admission of Driving Vehicles by Minors Who Do Not Have This Right, Which Caused Serious Consequences Due to Negligence
One of the most acute problems nowadays is the prob-lem of reducing not only the rate of accidents, but also the number of injuries and deaths on the roads. The in-crease in the number of minors injured in road acci-dents, including those driving motor vehicles, causes particular concern. It is stated that bringing individuals to administrative responsibility is possible for transfer-ring control of a motor vehicle to a person who knowing-ly does not have the right to drive a motor vehicle under Part 3 of Article 12.7 of the Code of Administrative Of-fences of the Russian Federation, and also for not taking measures to prevent repeated driving vehicles by mi-nors who do not have such right, under Part 1 of Article 5.35 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Rus-sian Federation. However, administrative responsibility and measures of administrative punishment do not pre-vent serious socially dangerous consequences from driving motor vehicles by minors who do not have this right. The present study substantiates the need to estab-lish criminal liability for failure by parents to fulfill their obligations to educate and teach minors to observe traf-fic rules, which is expressed in letting minors drive mo-tor vehicles without having this right, which resulted in serious consequences due to negligence.
