Riding without glasses turned for Kostroma bus driver fine

The traffic police raid in the Kostroma district turned into a fine for the bus driver. The inspectors stopped the man to check the documents and found in the license a small but very important mark – “GCL”.

This abbreviation means that the driver is obliged to drive only in glasses or lenses. Asked by the inspector where the corrective means were, the driver said he did not need them because his vision was excellent.

However, ignoring medical restrictions qualifies as driving a vehicle by a driver who does not have the right to drive (Part 1 of Article 12.7 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation). An administrative protocol has been drawn up for the man. The sanction of the article provides for a fine of 5,000 to 15,000 rubles.

The State Traffic Inspectorate of the region reminds that the GCL mark is put solely on the basis of the conclusion of the medical commission.

By the way, for 9 months of this year, 59 accidents occurred in the region due to the fault of bus drivers.
