In Simferopol seized pit bikes from two teenagers without rights

Employees of the traffic police identified two teenagers aged 15 and 16, who drove pit bikes without a driver's license on Balaklavskaya Street in Simferopol. The equipment was seized and placed in a specialized parking lot, and administrative protocols were drawn up on the parents. This was reported in the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Republic of Crimea.

During the inspection, the inspectors found that the boys of 15 and 16 years were driving pit bikes, not having the right to drive. The offenders were immediately removed from control, and the vehicles were seized and sent to a special parking lot.

In respect of a 16-year-old teenager, administrative material was drawn up under part 1 of Article 12.7 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation - driving a vehicle by a driver who does not have such a right. The parents of both minors will be issued protocols under part 1 of article 5.35 of the administrative code of the Russian Federation - for failure to perform duties on the maintenance and upbringing of children.

All materials were sent to the commission on juvenile affairs under the administration of Simferopol. They will take measures within the framework of legislation and carry out preventive work with adolescents and their families.

Recall that riding pit bikes without rights and the necessary training in the Crimea has repeatedly led to serious consequences. In November 2025, in the village of Ukromnoye, Simferopol district, a 17-year-old boy, driving a pitbike without a driver's license, shot down a pedestrian born in 1962 to death.

The teenager also suffered injuries and was hospitalized. Then an administrative report was drawn up on his father for improper performance of duties on upbringing, and the materials were sent to the commission on juvenile affairs.
