Abstract. The current paper has presented the authors’ position on a small but controversial issue in the doctrine of criminal law on the origin of criminal liability for transport crimes. During the study, there have been used both general scientific and specific scientific (special) methods of cognition, a special place among the latter has been occupied by legal methods, namely historical and legal. As a result of the retrospective study, the authors have concluded that even if the position of scientists who believe that one of the first mentions of criminal liability for transport crimes in Russian legislation back in the 17th century is controversial, then such liability definitely appeared in the first half of the 18th century, and not in the 19th century, as some scientists in the field of criminal law insisted.

Keywords: criminal liability; transport crimes; careless driving; Sobornoye Ulozheniye (Sobor Code) of 1649; Ulozheniye (Code) of Criminal and Correctional Punishments of 1845.
