"Ukrainian car plates' numbers" Top 5 Page for this destination Ukraine Favorite Tip by OlenaKyiv

Favorite thing:
Do you know that in Ukraine there are special auto plates? There are some plates exist that tell police about to what class the driver belongs to: rich, police (militia), secret services, government or just common worker. Why is it so important for people to have different plate numbers from a common Ukrainian? Because if such a car will speed up on a road, militia won’t stop it, otherwise, a militia will be in a big trouble. You will ask me why? Because of corruption and bribes. For rich it is the privilege to have car plates like “777777” or “333333” (sorry I don’t remember how many digits on Ukrainian plates).
Last time I visited Kiev, I watched TV news about 100 privileged plates that were given to common Ukrainians. The drivers were happy very much. Militia was proud to do such a generous gesture. But I was sorry to see that simple happiness and could not understand why such numbers should exist at all? Do we, Ukrainians, live in medieval age to have masters and slaves?
