There will be other changes as well.
"Beltekhosmotr" has launched a new service—consignment sales of vehicles. Previously, the organization introduced another service for the public aimed at those wishing to buy or sell a car. "Zerkalo" has compiled a list of recent changes introduced for drivers this summer. We’ll also remind you of other changes that may be coming.
Changes from “Beltekhosmotr”
This organization has launched a new service—nighttime vehicle inspections. The cost is 170 rubles.
“Beltekhosmotr” has also launched a new service: consignment sales of vehicles. This service became available on July 15 and is currently offered at only one diagnostic station in Grodno. The cost is 1,000 rubles.
This service includes, among other things, a pre-sale inspection of the vehicle’s technical condition, washing, detailing, as well as photo and video documentation. “Posting listings on leading online platforms, social media, and the company’s website. Full legal support—verifying the vehicle’s legal status and drafting the sales contract,” Beltekhosmotr previously reported. — Organizing test drives for potential buyers.”
As a reminder, “Beltekhosmotr” previously launched a new car sales service for the public. This service is free for car owners. “You can post an ad to sell your car on the company’s official website. The service is available to individuals,” Beltekhosmotr previously reported.
New Regulations on the Special Fee
Starting July 1, Belarus introduced further changes to the recycling fee for cars imported from countries of the Eurasian Economic Union. These countries include Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia. The changes are provided for by a government decree. Also, starting next month, another new regulation regarding the recycling fee for cars imported from abroad will take effect.
Changes to the Code of Administrative Offenses
New provisions in the Code of Administrative Offenses and the Procedural and Enforcement Code on Administrative Offenses recently came into force in Belarus. A number of amendments concern the activities of the State Traffic Police.
Some changes have eased administrative liability, while others have tightened it. The latter apply to individuals who operated personal mobility devices while intoxicated or who were pedestrians. A warning will no longer be issued in such cases. This offense is punishable by a fine of 3 to 5 base units (135 to 225 rubles).
Liability has also been introduced for individuals who violate the rules for transporting child passengers. From now on, this offense will result in a fine rather than a warning.
Penalties have been reduced for drivers who operate a vehicle with an expired driver’s license. The minimum fine for this violation will be two base units (90 rubles), the same as for those who allow such drivers to operate a vehicle. There has also been a more lenient approach toward individuals whose driving privileges have been revoked.
What changes might be introduced
In Belarus, a proposal has been made to revise driver training programs at driving schools by increasing the number of practical sessions and introducing training on how to respond in extreme situations. These and other measures to improve road safety were discussed at a meeting of the relevant commission under the Council of Ministers.
The development of an automated system for recording traffic violations was also discussed. As noted by government officials, “Since July, cases of driving without seat belts and the improper use of cell phones while driving have been detected.”
In addition, cameras automatically record speeding, running red lights, violations of maneuvering rules, failure to yield to pedestrians, and a number of other violations.
