In some places, even experienced drivers have quite controversial questions about certain actions during road traffic. One of these: whether it is necessary to give way to a cyclist at a pedestrian crossing.

According to officials, such a decision will help Ukrainian migrants who need a driver’s license to work in the EU.

Recall that the Verkhovna Rada returned duties and VAT on imported goods and customs clearance of cars from July 1. On June 30, the corresponding law was signed by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.
