The Mayor of Vladikavkaz may be fined for violating driving rules
The head of the capital of North Ossetia, Vyacheslav Mildzikhov, drove a car along the streets of Vladikavkaz. While driving, he inspected the condition of the roads and filmed a video, which later appeared on social networks.
 
Soon, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, without naming the driver, reported that they held the official accountable for driving a car in violation of safety rules. The video footage shows that the driver was not wearing a seat belt. The media reports that this is Vyacheslav Mildzikhov.
 
“For violating the rules for using seat belts, the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania drew up a protocol on an administrative offense against the driver of the car, provided for by Article 12.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, which entails the imposition of an administrative fine,” the Ministry of Internal Affairs for North Ossetia said in a statement.
