Incident in Novosibirsk and a Shift in Traffic Enforcement in Chelyabinsk
In a striking episode from Novosibirsk, a man was restrained in a car seat inside a Zhiguli, a moment that drew attention across social media for its daring and audacity. The scene unfolded as a driver tied a contraption described by onlookers as a “cheesecake” to an IZH automobile and navigated the busy streets of the snow-lined city. The car traveled in the right lane, but at one point the improvised object swung into the adjacent lane, prompting concern among other drivers and pedestrians. After video footage surfaced online, traffic authorities launched a search for the person responsible for this risky maneuver. The act of transporting a person outside the cabin is penalized under the Russian Administrative Offenses Code with a fine of one thousand rubles. This episode has sparked discussions about road safety, vehicle modifications, and how authorities respond to unconventional violations that surface on social networks. The public conversation continues as officials assess the potential dangers and the need for clearer guidance on creative or reckless acts behind the wheel. Ren-TV reported on the incident, underscoring the swift attention it received from both police and road safety commentators.
