The government has approved new traffic rules. According to the document, from May 1, front-seat passengers will have to wear their seat belts.
During a press conference at the Agency for Information and Mass Communications, Aziz Rakhmatullayev, a representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' traffic police, said that an unfastened passenger in the front seat would pay the fine, as an offender.
The size of the fine will be half of the basic unit, or 135,000 soums. Relevant amendments and additions have not yet been made to the Code of Administrative Responsibility.
