These penalties will also apply if the vehicles have no snow chains or other permitted anti-swerving equipment when driving over frozen roads, according to a Government decision drafted by the Ministry of Transport. The document also says 10% of the fines will be transferred to the state budget and 90% will be used on road maintenance. At present, the entire revenue from fines goes to the state budget.

The new draft also allows government inspectors access inside the headquarters and of transport firms and even their vehicles.
