Ukraine is preparing changes for drivers who systematically violate traffic rules. Possible measures include license revocation, driving restrictions, or retaking exams. Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko told journalists about this, reports UNN.
We are currently talking not about a demerit point process, but about the operation of a system that will trigger... for example, if there are 10 speeding violations, there will be certain sanctions. A sanction, for example, regarding the seizure of a driver's license, or restrictions, or retaking these rules. Sanctions must always exist. And these sanctions must be clear to our people
He emphasized that the introduction of a demerit point system for drivers will be the next stage, as it is a massive digital infrastructure that needs to be built.
We cannot promise that it will be operational in six months or a year. We are moving forward with what we can do in the near future, and together with the National Police and People's Deputies, we will be working on this as early as this week. A draft of our proposals is being prepared today or tomorrow
According to him, a system must be created that will show the number and severity of traffic violations.
If speeding by 10 km/h is one story, then speeding by 50-80 km/h can already be a tragedy
As a reminder
In Kyiv, a Mercedes driver crashed into an underpass at high speed. As a result of the accident, four people died, and the driver was hospitalized.
The Mercedes driver, who crashed into a capital underpass at high speed and caused the death of four people, had been repeatedly held administratively liable for speeding.
Deputy Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko discussed the road safety situation with the Minister of Internal Affairs and announced a set of decisions aimed at reducing the accident rate.
The Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv remanded the Mercedes driver, who fatally struck four people in a Kyiv underpass, into custody without the possibility of bail.
