Driver from Kurgan region penalized for failing to secure seatbelt while driving at a quick pace
In the village of Olkhovka, situated within the Shadrinsk district of Kurgan, Russia, an incident involving an ambulance has sparked controversy and concerns about road quality. A video shared on social media showed the ambulance struggling to navigate through muddy roads, ultimately failing to reach an emergency call.
The incident has not been linked to the previous ambulance driver seatbelt fine incident in the region. However, it has led to a renewed discussion about the regulations on traffic fines for ambulance drivers during emergency situations in Kurgan.
While general Russian traffic law practice exempts emergency vehicles such as ambulances from traffic fines and rules when responding to emergencies, provided they use sirens and flashing lights, the specific regulations for Kurgan remain unclear. For precise and up-to-date information, one would need to consult local traffic enforcement authority regulations in Kurgan, the Russian federal traffic code, or official publications from regional government or emergency medical services in the area.
The fine for the ambulance driver who did not wear a seatbelt during the emergency response has sparked outrage among medical professionals. A post on the popular Russian social media platform, VKontakte, criticises the fine, arguing that ambulance drivers should not be held financially responsible for traffic violations during emergencies. A letter from the traffic police confirming the fine is attached to the post.
Despite the fine, no disciplinary action has been taken against the ambulance staff (yet). The Shadrinsk City Hospital has launched an internal investigation into the matter. However, no information is available about any ongoing investigations or legal assessments related to this incident.
The incident has also brought attention to the road quality in the Kurgan region, with complaints pouring in about the state of the roads. As emergency services rely heavily on being able to navigate quickly and efficiently, this issue is of significant concern.
