Abstract
<jats:p>The object of the author’s research is the justification of the necessity of responsibility for driving a vehicle in violation of light transmittance standards, as well as the issues of interpreting and improving the grounds of responsibility for the specified offense. As a justification for defining responsibility, the author indicates the responsibility to ensure road safety and personal safety of Police Patrol officers. Turning to the issues of interpretation of the grounds of responsibility, the author notes that in some cases administrative acts have been drawn up for the offense in question when a vehicle was parked. Meanwhile, it follows from the legislative wording that protocols for the described action can be drawn up only in cases where the offense is detected when the vehicle is in motion. The next issue is the disagreement between the Patrol Service of the Police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Administrative Court related to the interpretation of the blanket grounds for responsibility. The Administrative Court considers that administrative acts cannot be based on the provisions of the Customs Union Technical Regulation “On Safety of Wheeled Vehicles”. The author presents opposite arguments. The article also contains recommendations on improving the grounds of responsibility for driving a vehicle in violation of light transmittance standards.</jats:p>
