President Leonid Kuchma signed a law that provides for administrative liability for minibus drivers who transport passengers in numbers exceeding the number of seats. This is reported by "Korrespondent".
Recall that on December 16, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted a Law on Amendments to the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses (Article 121), according to which, for transporting in a vehicle operating in minibus mode or performing intercity and international passenger transportation, a number of passengers exceeding the number of seats, the driver shall be punished with a fine in the amount of 2 to 5 non-taxable minimum incomes of citizens (17 hryvnias).
For repeated commission of such an offense, a fine of 3 to 8 non-taxable minimum incomes of citizens shall be collected from the driver, with or without paid confiscation of the vehicle.
Also, a driver of a car may be brought to administrative liability for driving a vehicle with a deliberately concealed license plate.
