Poland introduces strict traffic rules – now speeding can even lead to imprisonment. Instead of the previous fines of up to 60,000 UAH, the court can now impose fines of up to 352,000 UAH and 15 penalty points for a single violation. This is important for Ukrainian drivers who are in the neighboring country.

The adopted law still requires the president's signature, after which it will come into effect within 30 days. Such innovations are a response to the increasing number of traffic violations and aim to improve road safety.
