Amid the growing number of fatal road accidents, Ukraine is preparing to tighten the penalties for drivers who violate the speed limit. A bill has already been registered in the Verkhovna Rada, which changes the system of fines and cancels the current “leniency” for exceeding the speed limit by up to 20 km\/h.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was reported by the First Deputy Head of the Patrol Police Department, Oleksiy Biloshitsky, emphasizing that the current fine of 340 UAH for speeding is a “ridiculous punishment” that does not deter violators.<\/p>\n

According to police data, from January to September 2025, more than 16,000 road accidents with injuries occurred in Ukraine. The main cause of fatal accidents is speeding.<\/p>\n

The bill proposes:<\/p>\n

1. Cancel the permissible speed limit of 20 km\/h \u2014 that is, fines will be imposed for exceeding the speed limit by more than 10 km\/h.
2. Introduce a new scale of fines:<\/p>\n

exceeding the speed limit by more than 10 km\/h \u2014 340 UAH;<\/p>\n

for more than 20 km\/h \u2014 680 UAH;<\/p>\n

for over 30 km\/h \u2014 1,360 UAH;<\/p>\n

for over 40 km\/h \u2014 1,700 UAH;<\/p>\n

for over 60 km\/h \u2014 2,720 UAH;<\/p>\n

over 80 km\/h \u2014 3,400 UAH.<\/p>\n

If speeding leads to an emergency, the driver’s license may be revoked for a period of 6 months to 1 year.<\/p>\n

The document is currently under consideration in parliament. If the changes are approved, the new fine system could come into effect in the near future.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, the Cabinet of Ministers proposed to change the terms of voluntary and compulsory payment of fines for road transport safety violations, which are recorded automatically.<\/a><\/p>\n

As reported, from July 1, 2025 , updated rules of liability for traffic violations came into force in Ukraine.<\/a><\/p>\n
