In Tashkent region, yet another flagrant traffic violation has occurred: an SUV driver, repeatedly breaking traffic laws, nearly caused an accident. A video, which quickly spread on social media, captured the SUV speeding onto the wrong side of the road to overtake a line of stationary cars, then running a red light, and finally cutting into a flow of vehicles on a turn, almost triggering a serious accident. And for all these violations? Just a fine and a temporary trip to the impound lot.
But this story is just a part of a much larger problem. Unfortunately, incidents like this have become a frequent occurrence on the roads. Despite all efforts and warnings, some drivers continue to show blatant disregard for traffic rules. Why? Perhaps the punishments aren’t severe enough to make them understand the consequences of their actions. As a result, not only do the violators endanger themselves, but they also put the safety of everyone sharing the road with them at risk.
What’s especially concerning in this case is that the authorities did not disclose the exact fine imposed on the violator. This raises questions: does the punishment really match the risk faced by other drivers, and do other drivers see this as an example strong enough to change their own behavior?
This incident shows that fines alone cannot solve the problem. Stricter measures and constant monitoring on the roads are needed. And as long as such violators continue to drive on our roads, traffic safety will remain under threat.
