A group of MPs proposes that the Verkhovna Rada introduce fines and deprive drivers of driving licenses for driving in violation of the permissible noise level.
The corresponding bill No. 9564 was registered in Parliament on August 4.
The MPs propose to supplement the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses (CUOAP) with a new provision (Art. 121-4), which provides for administrative liability for driving or operating vehicles in excess of the permissible noise level established by law.
For this offense it is proposed to establish a fixed fine of 1000 non-taxable minimum incomes of citizens (NMDG), i.e. 17 thousand UAH, and in case of repetition – 2000 NMDG (34 thousand UAH) with possible deprivation of the right to drive vehicles for a period of three to six months.
As noted in the explanatory note, police and courts (in case of repetition) will have the competence to consider cases under Article 121-4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
At the same time, the draft law introduces corresponding amendments to the laws “On Road Traffic” and “On Ensuring Sanitary and Epidemic Welfare of the Population”.
The prohibition to drive or operate vehicles with violation of the established noise level is proposed to be established exclusively within populated areas, which excludes liability when holding motor sports competitions and other events outside populated areas.
The legislative initiative was co-authored, in particular, by the head of the Servant of the People faction, Davit Arahamiya, the head of the VR committee for youth and sport, Andriy Kozhemyakin (Batkivshchyna), the deputy head of the committee for humanitarian and information policy, Yevheniya Kravchuk (Servant of the People), and a member of the committee for law enforcement, Yuriy Areshonkov (Doveriye group).
