In addition, criminal liability threatens the owner of the car, who wants to decorate his garage with such a sign. Sergey Radko, a lawyer for the Freedom of Choice auto movement, told socialbites.ca about this.

The lawyer said that if the design of the needle is not damaged, the driver will be fined.
