According to the press service of the department, police regularly conduct raid activities aimed at preventing road traffic accidents and curbing violations of traffic rules.

In Pavlodar, at the intersection of Tolstoy and Baizakov streets, police stopped an Audi vehicle.

"Incoherent conversation, erratic movements, and dilated pupils – all indicated that the driver of the foreign car was in an inadequate state" , the Pavlodar region traffic police noted.

Following a medical examination, it was determined that the driver was under the influence of narcotics.

The vehicle was towed to an impound lot. The materials were sent to court.

It is noted that since the beginning of this year, Pavlodar police have recorded 96 instances where intoxicated drivers operated vehicles despite already being deprived of their licenses.

"Investigations have been conducted in each case, and appropriate measures have been taken in accordance with current legislation" , the regional traffic police emphasized.
