About 30% of Sevastopol road-users have not been registered according to the Russian law and have preserved Ukrainian car license plates.
As the city ‘government’s’ press service informs, the ‘Deputy Head’ of the Central Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Sevastopol Andrey Kuznetsov reported that.
“According to preliminary information, owners of nearly 30% or about 30 thousand vehicles didn’t changed Ukrainian registration plates and documents in Sevastopol. Only 10-15% of such vehicles can be re-registered, the rest of these cars were either transported to Ukraine or are not subject to the registration due to the unsatisfactory technical state or physical absence,” Kuznetsov said.
According to his information, 494 drivers have been held administratively liable for not having Russian car license plates.
In occupied Crimea and Sevastopol, the deadline to replace the Ukrainian registration plates was on April 1, 2016. The State Traffic Safety Inspectorate representatives promised to issue a warning for the first time, and only then impose fines on those who fail to change car license plates in the 10-day period. Starting from April 1, more than 3 thousand people have been fined in Crimea.
