In Tashkent, an unlicensed driver carrying 25 kindergarten children in a Damas was identified

The Tashkent City Police Department reported that a driver carrying 25 kindergarten children in a 7-seater Damas was identified in Tashkent.

On September 4, a traffic police inspector on duty on Ohangaron Street in the Yashnobod district of Tashkent stopped a white Damas for inspection. During the inspection, it was revealed that the vehicle was carrying more passengers than the established limit, namely a total of 25 kindergarten children.

When the driver's documents were checked, it was established that he did not have documents granting the right to drive a vehicle. It turned out that he had previously been deprived of his driving license by a court decision for driving under the influence of alcohol.

For putting the children at risk, the driver apologized to their parents and the kindergarten staff, stating that he would try to comply with the law in the future.

The vehicle was placed in an impound lot for temporary storage.

Transporting kindergarten children in 4-7-seater cars in violation of safety rules is quite common in Uzbekistan.

At the wheel was the head of a family kindergarten who did not have a driving license. As a result of the incident, the woman died, and the children were hospitalized with various injuries.

Following this, from May 1 to May 8, the Traffic Safety Service identified 125 cases related to the overloading of children in transport. According to Zoyir Yuldashev, the head of the department's information service, in some cases, up to 25-28 children were transported in Damas cars, and up to 18 children in Spark cars.

It is worth noting that despite regular reports and warnings about the severe consequences of such violations, as well as ongoing enforcement measures, cases of transporting children beyond capacity, putting their lives at risk on the roads, are frequently encountered.
