How drivers deceive speed cameras.

The speed control system in Ukraine is constantly being tampered with by unscrupulous drivers who suddenly reduce their speed before the cameras and then exceed it again. However, experts from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are finding solutions, together with members of parliament, to make amendments to this control system.

The new system will measure the average speed between two observation points. If the average speed exceeds the limit, the automatic system will detect the violation and make it impossible to manipulate braking before the cameras.

In Ukraine, about 70 thousand surveillance cameras are in operation, but the system still lacks a unified standard. This undermines its effectiveness in combating violations. However, despite this, the collected video materials play a key role in detecting 9 out of 10 crimes, as well as helping to identify Russian war criminals in the occupied territories.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs plans to quickly adopt a draft law to improve the effectiveness of the speed control system and to make it impossible to bypass traffic rules.
