Tickets for major speeding violations are to be increased 6.5 times, to $122, under a law expected to be passed this month by the Rada at second reading. These fines would be levied on drivers exceeding speed limits by 50 km or more. Penalties for drunk driving will also be increased to include jail time and loss of license for up to 10 years, Anton Gerashchenko Deputy Internal Affairs minister, told reporters on Wednesday.
