As reported by the Traffic Safety Department of the regional Internal Affairs Directorate, the main task of the inspections is to identify vehicles that have been equipped or modified in ways that violate road safety regulations.
During the raids, inspectors document cases of installing additional lighting devices without the necessary permits, using special signals, illegal window tinting, as well as operating unregistered gas equipment (GBO).
According to current regulations, such violations carry an administrative fine of 5,500 soms.
In addition to fines, police officers are taking other measures:
- vehicles are placed in specialized impound lots;
- the car remains under arrest until the owner rectifies the identified violations (removal of illegal equipment or tinting).
During the raids, a “Mercedes-Benz” vehicle was stopped. The driver was issued a report for illegal window tinting, resulting in a fine of 20,000 soms.
The Traffic Safety Department of the Talas region reminds drivers of the necessity to strictly adhere to technical regulations and emphasizes that all modifications to a vehicle's structure must be officially registered with the relevant authorities.
