Ukrainian drivers now need to be more attentive to their license plates, as a fine of 1190 hryvnias can be imposed for their illegibility. Police officers emphasize that special attention is paid to the condition of the plates, as well as adherence to speed and safety regulations. Soiled plates due to weather conditions pose a particular danger, making recognition difficult.
'When at least one digit is not visible on the plate, it is like driving without headlights at night – a risk for everyone,' - notes a police officer.
Lawyers emphasize that if the plate is dirty but the symbols are still clearly visible, the fine may be unjustified. It is important to remember regular checks and proper fastening of the license plates, as their loss can also lead to a fine.
Therefore, drivers should carefully monitor the condition of their license plates, adhere to the rules of their placement, and, if necessary, promptly clean them from dirt.
Changes in requirements for license plates may affect drivers, so it is important to be vigilant and keep an eye on the accounting documentation of their vehicle to avoid fines.
