In Krasnodar, police detained three drivers who blocked traffic on a street and organized an illegal drift show during a wedding, according to the Telegram channel of the regional department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Such actions disrupt public safety and traffic flow, drawing swift investigative attention from authorities and placing participants under scrutiny for their conduct during a public celebration.
The incident occurred the other day on Congress Street.
Those involved were taken to the police station after a court decision. They will be held accountable under Article 20.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation for violations of public order and disrespect toward society, as noted in the police report. The case highlights how authorities respond to disruptive acts that pose risks to bystanders and general traffic safety, especially during events with crowds and celebrations.
The driver of the VAZ-2106 was charged for violating the rules of passenger transportation, ignoring road signs, and the absence of a compulsory traffic insurance policy. The Hyundai Solaris driver faced accusations of crossing into the oncoming lane, resisting police officers, tinting the car’s windows, and driving without a license plate. The Mercedes driver was accused of disobeying police officers, a breach that compounds the severity of the incident when paired with other violations.
Video footage of the incident was published on the Telegram channel Krasnodar Teletype. The clip shows three cars blocking traffic by stopping with their emergency lights on, while two others circle along the road. The passenger in the VAZ-2106 is seen leaning out of the cabin as the car is dragged by authorities, a vivid reminder of the danger these actions pose to bystanders and official responders alike.
Earlier, in Surgut, a drifter attacked a driver, punching the Lada as they nearly collided, an episode that mirrors the broader concerns about street drift incidents and the potential for aggression on public roads.
