Kyrgyzstan to have single fine for unbuckled seat belt
Fine for the unbuckled seat belt will have a single size in Kyrgyzstan. Deputy Prime Minister Zhenish Razakov told at a press conference.
According to him, the interpretation of the article «Use of seat belts» was as follows: the fine for unbuckled seat belt in a city is 1,000 soms, in the countryside and on a highway — 3,000 soms.
He added that drivers would not be able to evade responsibility and refuse a medical examination for alcohol intoxication. The legislation imposes a fine of 5,500 soms, and for drunk driving — 17,500 soms.
«This contradiction needs to be eliminated. The driver, being aware that he is drunk and refusing the examination, will also pay a fine of 17,500 soms,» Zhenish Razakov expalined.
