Abstract. There are many road accidents on the roads of this country. Acccording to the effects on vehicles and people, they can be both of minor and major effect. And in all cases, it is necessary to inspect and fix damage to cars in order to study them.

The current paper has considered the features of inspection and fixation of damage to vehicles by car owners without calling the traffic police to the scene, and also analyzed Art. 11.1 of the Federal Law "On Compulsory Insurance of Civil Liability of Vehicle Owners".
