"The authorities cannot fail to respond to this. Especially since the people have made their views known... The point system had already been launched, but it was not approved," he said.
However, according to Klymenko, this is a rather lengthy process, and the sanctions must be clear to the public.
"Right now, the focus isn't on points, but on how the system works... For example, 10 violations would result in certain sanctions – such as the suspension of a driver’s license, restrictions, or having to retake the driving test," the minister added.
Klymenko noted that the point system will be the next step, as it requires the appropriate infrastructure.
"Together with the National Police, members of parliament, and legal experts, we will begin working on this starting this week," he said.
Klymenko clarified that a draft of the proposals is already being prepared, and the matter will then be up to the experts and members of parliament.
