In Ukraine, a court has, for the first time, restricted a man's right to drive due to violations of military registration rules. This was reported by Opendatabot, citing a ruling from the Kuznetsovsk City Court dated January 22.
According to the case materials, this concerns a resident of Rivne region who was obliged to update his registration details but failed to do so. The local Military Commissariat requested the police to bring the man in for protocol drafting. However, it turned out that he was abroad. Consequently, the prosecutor sought “the imposition of a temporary restriction on the defendant's right to operate a vehicle during mobilization”.
It is known that the accused received driving licenses in categories “A”, “B”, and “C” in July 2009. The man did not provide any evidence in court that losing his driving privileges would impact his sources of income.
Judge Tetiana Demchyna supported the claim for the temporary restriction of the Rivne resident's right to operate vehicles. The decision can still be appealed in the appellate court.
Additionally, it is noted that currently, there are at least 41 court cases registered related to the restriction of driving rights due to violations of military registration rules, as found through the court registry search engine “Babushka”. According to analysts, in most cases, courts return cases, particularly due to the failure to pay the court fee to the Military Commissariat, but this situation may change in 2025.
