The owners of cars with foreign registration will now start to receive speeding tickets.

"The automatic recording system of traffic rules violations has just begun to register violations of traffic rules committed by car owners on foreign registration plates," the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine said.

Such a statement means that the legal car owner, or the person who imported the car to Ukraine will receive the ticket.

"Europlates" were usually imported into Ukraine by citizens of other countries (so-called "camels"). They drove cars into Ukraine and then went back to their country. Now it appears that they shall receive speeding tickets, not the drivers who actually violated.

1. When a car with foreign registration numbers (Europlate) is entering Ukraine, the border guard fills the car number, name and passport data of the person behind the wheel into the database.

2. Next, if the driver of this car exceeds the speed, the system automatically finds the data of the person who was behind the wheel when passing through customs, picking the data from the SBGS database.

3. Resolutions on the traffic rules violation are sent to border guards by the police officers.

4. Border guards fix the fact of traffic violations during stay in Ukraine and inform the driver at the departure point from Ukraine, offering him to pay the ticket.

5. If a foreign driver refuses to pay the ticket, he will be banned from entering Ukraine.

6. If the owner of the car with foreign license plates is a citizen of Ukraine, and he refuses to pay the fine, his documents shall be sent to the state executive service for forfeiture of property or bank accounts, according to the general procedure.
