Fine for warming up cars deemed absurd by a lawmaker, who has called for its repeal.

Member of the Mazhilis, Nartai Sarsengaliyev, has sent a request to Vice Prime Minister Roman Sklyar, addressing issues related to taxi operations and concerns of motorists. This information was reported by Bizmedia.kz.
Депутат назвал абсурдным штраф за прогрев автомобиля и потребовал его отмены.

He paid special attention to the fine for warming up a car for more than 5 minutes, calling this prohibition absurd.

According to him, this rule was introduced 20 years ago, but it has long become outdated and causes dissatisfaction among citizens. Now, drivers can be fined if someone films their car while it is warming up in cold weather.

The deputy believes that such a ban is unreasonable, as without warming up, a vehicle wears out more quickly, leading to additional repair costs.

Sarsengaliev suggested revisiting this law and pointed out that if the authorities truly care about the environment, they should first address large factories that release tons of harmful substances into the air.
