Traffic police in Voronezh detained a driver who was intoxicated after he abruptly halted upon spotting patrol officers. The incident was reported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs Media and illustrates how alcohol impairment can lead to dangerous behavior on the road.
In Liski, state traffic inspectors on Sverdlov Street observed a foreign automobile. The driver stopped suddenly when the police car approached, raising concerns about the driver’s sobriety and road safety. The moment the gray crossover halted was captured by the video recorder inside the patrol vehicle, documenting the unexpected stop and subsequent interactions.
The driver agreed to undergo a sobriety test but asserted that he was not operating the vehicle and that he stood still during the procedure. After the test, it became clear that the 29-year-old man was intoxicated. He now faces a driving ban for 1.5 to 2 years along with a fine of 30,000 rubles, reflecting the penalties prescribed for driving under the influence in similar circumstances. This case adds to the ongoing enforcement efforts aimed at deterring impaired driving and protecting road users from needless risk. — Ministry of Internal Affairs
Earlier, a drunk driver in Transbaikalia attempted to avoid penalties by using another person’s name. The suspect claimed to be someone else, a tactic aimed at evading revocation of driving rights, but authorities pursued the legal consequences through proper procedures. The incident highlights the challenges law enforcement faces when intoxicated drivers try to obscure identity or misrepresent their status. — Ministry of Internal Affairs
