According to information provided by the RTSD under the regional Internal Affairs Directorate, the main task of the inspections is to identify vehicles that have been modified using illegal equipment and changes that could affect road safety.
During the raids, inspectors discover cases of installing additional lighting devices without permits, using special signals, illegal window tinting, as well as the use of unregistered gas equipment (GEO).
According to current legislation, such violations are subject to an administrative fine of 5,500 soms.
In addition to fines, police officers implement a number of additional measures:
- vehicles are placed in specialized impound lots.
- vehicles remain under arrest until the identified violations are rectified, such as the dismantling of illegal equipment or removal of tinting.
During the raids, a “Mercedes-Benz” vehicle was stopped. The driver was issued a report for illegal tinting of the front side windows, with a fine amounting to 20,000 soms.
The Road Traffic Safety Department of the Talas region reminds drivers of the necessity to strictly adhere to technical regulations and emphasizes that any modifications to a vehicle's design must be officially registered with the relevant authorities.
