Some bloggers report that there is now a new way to express their disagreement with road police has been spotted in Ukraine. When a driver doesn’t agree with some speeding tickets or other penalties from the road police he turns his plates up-side-down to show his disregard for police. Actually in Ukraine it has not been clearly stated in the traffic laws how the car plate should be mounted, so they cannot be penalized for this.

AM I FIRST!!!!!!!
typically you do not get a traffic violation ticket in former soviet union. all you do is bribe the cop and you are free to go.
Good idea but it won’t foil photo radar…
Turning plate upside down,is also legal violation.how many days you drive your car with that stunt?in my opinion,just few hours! ! ! ! ! !.
True. And on top of that, knowing how the former soviet union deals with people who defies and confronts the law/authorities, man, you have to like getting into trouble…
I am pretty sure it is a female driver
.
Agreed.

I expected that one. How original is that?
eheheh this is normal in Russia
Don’t blame the traffic police if you suck at driving.
It’s also possible that there are some overzealous cops. I know there are plenty of them where I live (I got pulled over and ticketed once for not having a front license plate when Illinois law states that i only have to have a rear one, and on another occasion a cop gave me a ticket at five in the morning for not having an up-to-date village sticker).
Usually this happens when a cop has to “show service”, meaning it’s getting close to the end of his shift and he has to prove somehow that he actually did some work.
This “show service” thingy is also noted in South America — maybe except Chile.
Once in St. Petersburg I saw a big truck performing a u-turn when the driver pointed a blitz. Of course there was room enough to do that (most streets there have at least four lanes).
cars stink
yeah. agreed. They big smelly dirty things that just cant make up their mind.
Pheasant
From Latvia I know that plates startin with AA are the police or government
So what? I’ve seen many cars in Russia driving without any kind of license plate, not even a temporary one.
I lost my license plates from my toxic waste truck
this one is from Dnepropetrovsk…my birthplace.
DP has AA on the license plate.
No, it’s just the way Ukrainians think.
