Ukraine is preparing new fines for drivers who transport animals in cars
A fine will be imposed if the animals are in the car without fixation.
The Verkhovna Rada is considering draft law No. 9016, which provides for the introduction of fines from 510 to 850 hryvnias for dangerous transportation of animals. These are cases where drivers transport animals, such as cats and dogs, without proper restraint or holding them in their arms.
Animals in the car can distract the driver, which increases the risk of accidents. In the event of a high-speed accident, unattended cats or dogs can not only be injured or killed, but also dangerous to the driver and passengers, causing serious injury. The date of consideration of the draft law in the Verkhovna Rada is still unknown.
The document is included in the agenda of the current session of the parliament and is being reviewed by the relevant committees.
We will remind that “Ukrzaliznytsia” also proposed to change the rules of animal transportation. The new rules will allow the use of backpacks for small animals, avoid the need to carry them, allow large dogs to travel in SV and Intercity+ carriages for
