A Pavlodar resident has paid the price for trying to conceal his car's registration plate: a court placed him under administrative arrest and revoked his driving license, infohub.kz reports.
According to the official Telegram channel of Pavlodar Region courts, the Zhelezinka District Court heard an administrative offense case against a Pavlodar resident. The man drove a car using materials that obstructed the identification of state registration plates and allowed them to be altered. These actions constituted an offense under Part 4 of Article 590 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
The court established that in September of this year, while driving a Toyota Camry on the Omsk — Maykapshagay highway, the man covered his registration plate with a piece of paper to avoid identification. After the violation was detected, police seized the vehicle.
During the court hearing, the driver fully admitted his guilt.
When imposing the penalty, the court took into account the admission of guilt, remorse, and the fact that the man had not previously been held administratively liable. No aggravating circumstances were found.
By court order, the man was found guilty. He was sentenced to administrative arrest for two days with revocation of his driving license for one year.
The seized car was ordered to be returned to its lawful owner. The ruling has entered into force.
