In Sochi, a 15-year-old was stopped by traffic police for driving a vehicle without proper licensing. The car, a compact model commonly known as a Zhiguli, had not been registered in the required way, and the driver was legally underage. The incident brought attention to road safety concerns and the responsibilities that accompany youth access to motor vehicles in urban settings.
During a routine patrol by officers from Sochi’s traffic police division, the team observed a young driver operating a car on a city street. The vehicle lacked the appropriate registration, and the young driver did not hold a valid license due to age restrictions. The officers proceeded with standard safety and legal protocols to assess the situation and prevent any potential risk on the road.
The minor’s legal guardians and a juvenile inspector were summoned to the scene to participate in the follow-up actions. After outlining the next steps, representatives from the Children’s Affairs Commission were alerted for review and possible measures, while the school or educational institution involved was informed to collaborate on preventive guidance and support for the student. These steps reflect a coordinated approach that combines safety enforcement with education and welfare considerations for young drivers.
The Zhiguli was moved to a secure parking facility for safekeeping and to facilitate thorough documentation and verification. Authorities intended to determine the appropriate course of action in line with local traffic laws and juvenile protection policies, ensuring that the welfare of the youth is prioritized while accountability is addressed.
