A 19-year-old Zhiguli driver faced penalties after a stunt that saw a car seat being dragged through the city like a sled by a friend

The incident led to formal punishment for transporting passengers outside the driver’s cabin in violation of Article 12.23, Part 2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. In addition, the driver did not possess a valid license. The case underscores how risky and unlawful actions behind the wheel can carry serious consequences even for young motorists.

Numerous traffic rule violations have been recorded against a resident of Novosibirsk who has repeatedly failed to settle fines. The total debt has grown to a substantial 77,800 rubles, illustrating the broader issue of nonpayment that can escalate penalties and complicate legal relief. This case highlights the persistent challenge authorities face in ensuring compliance with traffic fines and the risks motorists take when fines accumulate without resolution.

A video that shows a chair-like object strapped to a moving vehicle circulated widely on Russian-speaking social networks. In the footage, the vehicle pulls a car seat behind it at a speed of about 50 kilometers per hour. A passenger appears to be distracted by messages on a mobile device, and the ride ends when the passenger loses balance and sustains an elbow injury. The clip serves as a stark reminder of how easily modern technology can distract drivers and passengers alike, raising concerns about road safety and responsible behaviour behind the wheel.
