It is noted that the growth in the number of fines occurred against the background of the increase in the country's car fleet. Over the year it grew by 1.8 million units, reaching 67.75 million cars (52.9 million - cars).

At the same time, the annual growth in the number of decrees slowed down. In 2024, it amounted to 6.2%, while in previous years this figure reached 11-17%. The reason for the slowdown is called the reform of systems of photo-video fixation of violations, carried out in the fall of 2024.
