Night chase in Urgench: 15-year-old teenager tries to flee from Road Safety Department in a «Zhiguli» (video)

A dangerous nighttime incident in the city of Urgench, Khorezm region, has put the public and road safety officers on high alert. A driver was spotted speeding through the inner streets of the neighborhood in a black «VAZ-2107» car, disturbing the peace of residents and making a lot of noise. Ignoring the lawful stop signal from the Road Safety Department officers who arrived at the scene, the driver increased speed and tried to escape with dangerous maneuvers along narrow streets. As a result of a high-speed pursuit by the patrol car with its special siren and flashing lights activated, the vehicle was stopped, and it turned out that behind the wheel was just a 15-year-old schoolboy with neither a driver's license nor a permit.

Widely circulated videos online clearly show the teenager fleeing from the patrol car and creating emergency situations at intersections and pedestrian crossings. In connection with the incident, the father who handed over the vehicle to his underage child was summoned, an administrative report was drawn up against him, and the «seven» was towed to the impound lot. So, how did the car keys end up in the hands of a 9th-grade student, what severe tragedies could such carelessness have led to, and what punishment will the parents face?

Giving car keys to children: A lesson of severe consequences

Experts and the road safety service warn:

• Risk of age and inexperience: A 15-year-old teenager cannot make quick decisions in unexpected situations, and high-speed escapes often end in hitting pedestrians or colliding with other cars;

• Parental negligence: Although it is often claimed that children took the car «without permission», the lack of supervision in the family and leaving car keys open are the main reasons for such situations;

• Strict punishment is inevitable: The Road Safety Department emphasizes that fines and restrictions will be strictly applied to anyone who hands over the steering wheel to minors.

This incident in Urgench once again showed all parents what regrettable and shameful situations can result from indulging their children or being careless about their actions.
