A white Mercedes-Benz crossover sped through Moscow, moving ahead of traffic with the license plate abruptly removed. The act occurred in the moment when the vehicle breached traffic rules, and the evidence was captured on the dash cam of another driver. The footage later appeared on a Telegraph channel known for sharing road incidents, Moscow on the roads, drawing attention to the reckless behavior witnessed that day.
The commentary accompanying the clip described the scene with a mix of disbelief and irritation. The video shows how the car halted in a growing traffic jam, after which the driver and a passenger deliberately detached the license plate bearing the registration code C 001 SS 199. The moment is stark, underscoring how quickly an ordinary drive can devolve into a dangerous display of disregard for public safety, as bystanders looked on in real time.
Following the plate removal, the driver steered onto the separating island marked by traffic notation 1.16.2 and proceeded to use a lane designated for public transport. The Mercedes-Benz AMG GLS 63 4MATIC then continued its course, weaving through lanes that were not meant for private vehicles and complicating the flow for other road users. The scene, captured from multiple angles, raised questions about enforcement and the choices that lead drivers to flout established rules in the first place.
Earlier reports noted a separate incident in Krasnoyarsk where traffic police, after a pursuit, detained a couple visibly under the influence who were operating a vehicle. These stories together paint a broader picture of risky conduct on the road, the potential consequences of such actions, and the ongoing efforts by authorities to curb dangerous driving and protect pedestrians and fellow motorists on busy urban streets. The footage reviewed by observers highlights the gaps that can exist between lawful driving and the impulsive decisions some drivers make, especially when there is a sense of anonymity behind the wheel.
