A taxi passenger in St. Petersburg climbed out of the car window while the vehicle was moving and then walked away, according to a post from a public page called Road Inspector on the social network VKontakte. The incident reportedly took place in the Primorsky district, with the car traveling along the Western High-Speed Diameter at roughly 100 km/h. Video footage from the cabin camera shows the passenger placing a plastic bag to the side, opening the window, and exiting the vehicle.
The fall left the young man, born in 2002, with minor injuries, and he was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. He claimed he decided to leave because he felt he was being taken in the wrong direction. After the landing, he appeared angry and explained to the driver that the dispute involved a girl they were arguing about.
Two administrative charges were brought against the 29-year-old taxi driver: one for transporting a passenger without wearing a seat belt and another for violations of traffic rules that could cause moderate harm to a person’s health. The case underscores concerns about passenger behavior and adherence to safety rules inside moving vehicles.
Earlier, in Rostov region, a separate event involved a dog briefly taking control of a bus by throwing its passengers and the driver off the vehicle for about two hours, a startling incident that raised questions about bus safety and animal disturbances on public transport.
