In their account on the social network Facebook, Lithuanian police officers shared a photo in which the registration number of a Renault truck was “improved”. Some of the characters on the plaque were painted.
“It is prohibited to participate in traffic with such numbers. After establishing all the circumstances, it became clear that the vehicle had not undergone a compulsory technical inspection test either,” the officials emphasized, adding that a fine had been imposed on the driver. .
Another driver caught the attention of the police in Kaunas. Here, officers captured an Audi with a special film attached to the board, which masks the board when the speedometer flash fires.
An administrative crime report was produced for the girl driving the car and a stiff fine was imposed. According to the Code of Administrative Offenses, a fine of 240-340 euros and the deprivation of the right to drive from six months to a year for concealing or disguising a number is granted.
“We have heard about these cases before, we are actively following the information, monitoring the social networks, where these films are sold,” emphasized Ramūnas Kemzūra, head of the Highway Patrol Company of the Highway Police Board of the Police Commissariat. of Kaunas County.
According to him, such a movie could have appeared in the numbers, because the driver tried to avoid liability for KET violations. R. Kemzūra warned that using such a film is like pulling a lion behind the mustache, because sooner or later those cars will come into the eyes of officials, and the driver will not only have to pay a hefty fine, but also “rest” from driving.
Earlier this year, police officers detained a driver who also covered his car’s license plate numbers with the same reflective film. Not reflecting or seeing the numbers, the police made sure to turn them on in an instant.
More than 300 punished
As the head of the Lithuanian Highway Police Service, Vytautas Grašys, told Lietuvos Rytas Television, there were many attempts when the drivers tried to trick the speedometers; This year alone, fines had to be imposed more than 350 times.
“Films, paints, duct tape – we try differently. False information about who was driving is sometimes provided, not provided at all. There are cases where attempts are made to hide the number on the ground, although state numbers are on several highways. they must be clean and clearly visible ”, emphasized V. Grašys.
According to officials, speed enthusiasts often take such steps, but when a violation is discovered, the fine is often much higher than speeding.
