COLLECTED AND VERIFIED AUTOMATICALLY
The Prime Minister presented an initiative to protect vehicle owners' rights, targeting abuses in the private parking market and car sales. Under the new rules, drivers will gain expanded opportunities to dispute fines and charges issued by private parking operators if they believe them to be unfair or unjustified.
The initiative also includes enhanced oversight of auto dealers who practice mileage rollback before selling used cars—a fraudulent scheme that misleads buyers about the actual condition and wear of the vehicle. Such manipulations can result in financial losses for consumers and create safety risks, as concealed actual mileage often means an increased likelihood of technical malfunctions.
Authorities state that the measures being taken are designed to restore balance in relations between consumers and businesses, protecting the rights of millions of vehicle owners from unscrupulous practices. The new rules are expected to establish clearer procedures for appealing private parking fines and strengthen accountability for mileage fraud on vehicles.
The initiative was a response to numerous citizen complaints about the lack of transparency and inflated demands from private parking operators, as well as a growing number of fraud cases involving the sale of vehicles with underreported mileage.
