In Voronezh, the local traffic police reported that eight administrative protocols were issued to a city bus driver for a series of traffic violations. The information came through the Telegram channel of the State Traffic Inspectorate of the Voronezh region, providing a concise timeline of events and the actions taken by authorities.
On June 24, investigators identified a 40-year-old resident operating the PAZ bus number 22, which runs a route from the Rehabilitation Center to Budenovskoye Cemetery, traversing the Kuibyshev and Bogdan Khmelnitsky districts. The inspection found that eight violations occurred within a span of less than ten minutes as the vehicle cruised through city streets, highlighting a notable spike in risky driving behavior over a very short period.
Footage of the incidents was shared with law enforcement by an eyewitness who used a chatbot to transmit the video to the authorities. Review of the registrar’s footage led to the drawing up of administrative protocols against the bus driver. Allegations included stopping in an unspecified location and at a crosswalk, running a red light, failing to signal correctly, and using a mobile phone while driving. In total, fines to the driver amounted to seven and a half thousand rubles, reflecting a swift response to the documented offenses.
A separate note from regional authorities indicated that a traffic police inspector in Kostroma faced a situation that involved a dangerous maneuver intended to apprehend a drunken driver who crossed into oncoming territory. This anecdote underscored the ongoing challenges faced by traffic enforcement officers in enforcing safety rules in diverse situations across different cities.
Earlier in Voronezh, the Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee reported that a driver responsible for throwing firecrackers at traffic police officers faced additional legal actions. The case involved consideration of compulsory psychiatric treatment, signaling how authorities pursue cases where threats or harm to public safety are alleged and require broader medical or psychological evaluation as part of the process.
