Disruption Caused by Motorist Using Fuel in Astana Capital City
In two separate incidents in Kazakhstan, drivers have been caught disregarding traffic rules and public safety, causing public outrage and prompting action from local authorities.
The first incident took place in Astana, now known as Nur-Sultan, where a driver attempted to bypass a traffic jam by driving on the lawn. The video of this incident has sparked outrage among Kazakhs, as driving on sidewalks endangers pedestrians and disrupts public safety. The behaviour is considered a serious traffic violation, as sidewalks are designated for pedestrian use only.
The Astana Police Department has commented on the incident, with the driver being given a preventive talk and being held administratively responsible for the violation. The authorities have also warned that any such violations will be stopped under the 'Law and Order' principle.
In a similar incident in Karagandy, a garbage truck was seen evading police. The video of this incident is also circulating on social media, but it has not been reported by Liter.kz. While the behaviour has not sparked the same level of outrage as the Astana incident, citizens have expressed concern and view it as a disregard for rules and public space.
The Astana Police Department continues to enforce the 'Law and Order' principle to stop such violations. They encourage citizens to contact the 102 channel if they identify similar cases.
It is important to note that driving on sidewalks is illegal and can lead to fines, administrative sanctions, or even criminal liability, depending on the severity and consequences of the infraction. Public perception is generally negative, as such behaviour is seen as reckless and irresponsible.
For exact penalties and public attitudes in Kazakhstan, one would need to consult the Kazakhstan Road Traffic Safety Code or local law enforcement sources in Nur-Sultan, as these laws can be subject to updates and specific regional enforcement practices.
This serves as a reminder to all drivers to respect traffic rules and public space for the safety and well-being of everyone on the road.
The Astana incident, involving a driver on the lawn, has led to a public outcry about disregard for traffic laws and public safety in general-news, while the evasion of police by a garbage truck in Karagandy has sparked concerns in crime-and-justice. The Astana Police Department enforces the 'Law and Order' principle and encourages reports of such incidents, whether they are related to sports or other aspects of life.
