Contrary to the position of the European Commission the Latvian authorities categorically against registration in the country of right-hand drive cars. Lithuanian transport Minister Eligijus Masiulis said that Lithuania did not agree with the requirement of the Evrokomissmm allow from cars with right-hand steering and ready to defend their interests in court. Lithuanian authorities believe that with the emergence of a large number of roadside right-hand drive vehicles will lead to an increase in the accident rate. The fact of the matter is that for three years in Lithuania from the Uk imported more than 9 thousand vehicles, most of which are right-hand drive. All these cars converted for left-hand traffic and only then officially registered in Lithuania. Bureaucratic Setup on the free movement of goods must not go beyond common sense, said the head of the Ministry of transport of Lithuania, criticizing the European Commission officials. In Russia, most recently right wheel defended advocates for motorists.
