Riding a pit bike while intoxicated cost a resident of Yaran freedom and equipment.

      The Prosecutor's Office of the Kirov Region reported on the sentence handed down by the court in Yaran. A local resident was found guilty under Part 2 of Article 264.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Driving a car, tram, or other mechanical vehicle by a person in a state of intoxication who has a criminal record for committing a crime while intoxicated).

      Everything happened on August 16, 2025. The man, showing signs of intoxication, was riding a pit bike and moving calmly along the city roads. Police officers noticed the violator, stopped him, and removed him from driving.

      Upon checking his identity, it was revealed that this same driver had previously been held criminally liable. The article was the same — drunk driving.

      The court, agreeing with the position of the state prosecutor, imposed a sentence of 1 year and 1 month of imprisonment to be served in a general regime colony. Additionally, a supplementary punishment was imposed: a 4-year ban on driving any vehicles.

      At the prosecutor's request, the court applied Article 104.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The pit bike was confiscated. It is now state property.

      More than 40 drunk drivers were caught over the weekend. The court in Sun took away the car and license from a drunk driver from Arkul. A Kirov recidivist stole a friend's car, crashed it in an accident, and received a sentence.
