In Ukraine, the age of drivers is limited: who is now not allowed to get behind the wheel

Detailed age distribution:

In Ukraine, there are age restrictions for operating vehicles, reminds the Main Service Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The minimum age for driving mopeds and motorcycles is 16 years. Cars and trucks can be driven from the age of 18, while for vehicles with trailers, one must be 19 years old. Buses can only be driven from the age of 21.

• 16 years - mopeds and motorcycles
• 18 years - passenger cars and trucks of categories 'B' and 'C'
• 19 years - vehicles with heavy trailers of categories BE and CE
• 21 years - buses and minibuses

Fines for violating these age restrictions are also high. For example, driving without documents can result in a fine of 3400 hryvnias, and in the case of allowing minors to drive, parents are liable.

It is also important to consider seasonal restrictions for heavy vehicle drivers and new rules regarding parking cars in spots reserved for disabled people. The exchange of driving licenses is also important for those living abroad, as a license is needed to operate any vehicle.

Ukraine has age restrictions for operating various types of transport that vary depending on the type of vehicle. Violating these rules can lead to high fines, and in the case of a minor, the parents are responsible for driving the vehicle. Adhering to age restrictions is an important component of safe traffic on the roads of every country.
