According to Part 5 of Article 29 of the Law of Ukraine "On Road Traffic", vehicles with a right-hand drive are not allowed to participate in traffic. So, you need to reinstall the steering wheel. For this, the owner or an authorized person submits the vehicle for inspection at service centers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There you will receive an Act of technical inspection of the vehicle. This stage is necessary in order to document the type of vehicle and its technical characteristics before the conversion. Then, in order to convert vehicles, the legislation requires obtaining prior approval from a specially authorized organization.
