Additional reading State Automobile Inspectorate of Ukraine

State Automobile Inspectorate controls the road traffic. State Automobile Inspectorate of Ukraine is a separate structure, though it is a part of Ministry of Home Affairs. With the exception of the State Automobile Inspectorate of Ukraine all other police workers are strongly prohibited to interfere in the traffic in Ukrainian roads and even to stop the vehicles.

Currently the State Automobile Inspectorate of Ukraine conducts its activity in a way that the traffic police inspectors perform their duties only in patrol cars with the special marking and they may stop the driver in the sole event when he/she violates the Ukrainian traffic rules. At night they are allowed to stop the cars only at the illuminated section of the roads in the settlements or near the roadside service facilities. So you could ask a question – if at night in the empty road someone who looks like an inspector of the State Automobile Inspectorate of Ukraine, requires the driver to stop, could he/she keep driving? Our answer is yes! The administration of the State Automobile Inspectorate of Ministry of Home Affairs informed that in such case the driver must contact the nearest police office and tell about the current situation.

Or you can call the hotline of the State Automobile Inspectorate of Ukraine at +38 044-272-46-59. You can call this hotline in any circumstances, in any situation strange for the driver or his/her passengers. Example: when the State Automobile Inspectorate worker charges you in violation which did not happen, or in case of problems with driving (vehicle breakdown).

Most often the foreigners who have already traveled in the Ukrainian roads do not complain of the traffic inspectors. They would tell you how to get to the destination and give you some advices. In general these guys are polite and tactful. The only problem is that almost nobody speaks any foreign language. If you do not speak Russian or Ukrainian you will have to use the sign language, or use the help of the professional interpreter. However, they say that soon there would be no such problems: within the scope of preparation to the European Football Championship EURO-2012 all police and State Automobile Inspectorate workers must master the English language – at least to the level which allows to make their demands and to answer the questions of the foreigners.
