Use of technologies:
Use modern technologies such as GPS programs that provide information about speed limits on specific road sections.
Careful observation of signs:
Pay attention to road signs that indicate speed limits, especially in new places or unfamiliar areas.
Warning signals from other drivers:
If other drivers slow down or warn you about a police situation, be careful and keep to the speed limit.
Appeal to legal services:

Fines for violating the speed limit in Ukraine can have various consequences, including:
Financial expenses:
Paying a fine is the main consequence of violating the speed limit. The amount of the fine depends on the specific violation, but the fines can be significant, especially for repeated violations.
Loss of points on the driver's license:
According to the system of fines in Ukraine, drivers can lose points on their driver's license for violations. This can lead to a temporary suspension of driving privileges.
Possibility of impounding the car:
In cases of systematic violations or non-payment of fines, the court may decide to impound the car to fulfill fine obligations.
Restrictions on participation in road traffic:
In case of non-fulfillment of the penalty obligations, the authorities can limit the right of the driver to participate in traffic, for example, cancel the registration of the car.
Appeals and court costs:
If the driver does not agree with the fine, he can try to challenge it in court. However, this may require additional financial and time costs for a lawyer and other court costs.
Entry in the driver's license history:
Information about the violation may be included in the history of the driver's license, which may affect the possibility of obtaining insurance services and other privileges.
Avoiding fines and obeying traffic rules is the best way to avoid the above consequences.
