Fine of 1200 hryvnias for a dirty car: when the police will issue a protocol

Ukrainian drivers risk receiving a fine for dirty cars. According to information from the publication 'Khviliya', the fine may reach 1190 hryvnias due to negligence in caring for vehicles.

“Many Ukrainian motorists do not attach great importance to the cleanliness of their vehicles, considering it purely an aesthetic issue. However, law enforcement takes this much more seriously. If a car's license plate is difficult to recognize due to dirt, it is considered a violation of legislation.”

According to the law, dirty or unreadable license plates can lead to a fine. Moreover, the police regularly note violations in cases where the license plates are unreadable due to dirt. In cases where the plates become dirty due to weather conditions, inspectors may limit themselves to a verbal warning. However, experts advise drivers to thoroughly check the condition of their plates and clean them of dirt. This will help avoid problems with the police and save money. Clean license plates on a car are not only a matter of appearance but also your safety on the road. They make your vehicle more visible to automatic violation detection systems. So do not forget to take care of them to avoid unwanted surprises on the road.
