New Fines for Drivers in Ukraine: What Can Cost You Up to 9000 Hryvnia?

 

Keeping track of changes in the Traffic Rules (PDR) is the duty of every driver. Ignorance of the law, as is known, does not exempt from responsibility, and in the context of stricter environmental regulations, this rule becomes especially relevant. New fines have recently come into force in Ukraine, which apply not only to drivers but to everyone who is behind the wheel of a vehicle.

 

"Association of Driving Schools" always keeps its students and graduates up to date with all new developments. We have разобралися in the changes and are ready to tell you in detail what you can now get a significant fine for.

 

What Has Changed: Bans and Fines in Nature Conservation Areas

 

The main innovation concerns the movement of vehicles on the territories of the natural reserve fund of Ukraine. Now, entry and passage through such zones are strictly regulated, and serious penalties are provided for violations.

 

Fines that have come into force:

• For citizens: The fine will be from 1700 to 3400 hryvnia.
• For officials: The fine will be significantly higher — from 3400 to 5100 hryvnia.

 

In addition to this, the offender will be obliged to compensate for the damage caused to the ecosystem. According to the new rules, for every 100 meters of unauthorized passage through a protected area, you will have to pay compensation from 5100 to 8500 hryvnia. Thus, the total amount of the fine can reach 9000 hryvnia or more.

 

The introduction of these rules is intended to protect unique natural landscapes, habitats of rare animals and plants from the destructive impact of transport. This is an important step towards preserving the country's ecology.

 

How to Avoid Fines and Mistakes?

 

Not knowing where a regular road ends and a protected area begins can lead to unexpected and unpleasant consequences. That is why it is so important to undergo training in a driving school, where the program is constantly updated taking into account all changes in legislation.
