A video material has spread on social networks showing a driver allowing pedestrians to cross the road in Bukhara. This was reported by Upl.uz.
Although the driver followed the traffic rules, he was fined for creating an emergency situation. It became known that the driver had blocked the officials coming from behind.
They were delayed a bit while waiting for the pedestrians to cross the road. As a result, the driver who allowed the pedestrians to cross was fined 3,750,000 soums.
This decision has faced widespread criticism on social networks. People in Uzbekistan are calling for a review of this fine protocol and for all circumstances of the incident to be clarified.
According to users, if the driver was punished for the violation shown in the video, then the traffic service officer who formalized the protocol should also be held accountable. Because the driver performed his duty correctly by giving way to pedestrians.
This situation highlights the need for proper application of traffic rules and fair decision-making.
