In Ukraine they want to increase the fine for drivers: the initiators of the proposal are people's deputies Galina Tretyakova, Maryana Bezuglaya and Olga Vasilevskaya-Smaglyuk.
This information was announced by a bill published on the Verkhovna Rada website, URA-Inform reports.
The authors of the bill recalled that currently in Ukraine the fine for not driving in favor of special vehicles with special sound or light signaling devices on is 680 hryvnia, which, according to them, does not correspond to the possible damage from these offenses.
The reason for the development of this bill, people's deputies cite constant violations of traffic rules in terms of the preferential unhindered passage of emergency vehicles, specialized ambulance transport of emergency (ambulance) medical teams, fire departments, and police.
Which in turn is not allows them to quickly arrive at their destination and provide the necessary assistance in a timely manner or eliminate a danger that endangers human lives.
The authors of the bill propose:
— establish that failure to allow emergency services, emergency medical services, fire brigade, police vehicles in motion, moving with special light or sound signaling devices on, entails a fine in the amount of 17 to 25.5 thousand hryvnia and deprivation of the right to drive vehicles funds for a period of six months to one year;
— the same punishment is provided for failure to provide route vehicles, in particular to vehicles used to transport groups of children, in particular, violation of traffic rules and stopping in the lane for route vehicles, as well as violation of the rules of stopping, parking, creating obstacles to traffic or threat to traffic safety.
— the same violations, which entailed or could entail the creation of a threat to the life and/or health of individuals, entail a fine in the amount of 34 to 51 thousand hryvnia and deprivation of the right to drive vehicles for a period of five to ten years.
We recall that it was previously reported what summer would be like in Ukraine: the weather forecaster warned of dangerous phenomena.
