In St. Petersburg, traffic police officers detained a 22-year-old video blogger from Izhevsk, known by the pseudonym White Hastler, for the third time. His car was sent to a special parking lot to check the authenticity of the VIN code.

Authorities detained a BMW driver for executing circles at a crossroads in St. Petersburg.

The reason for the latest detention was new video recordings showing the young man performing dangerous maneuvers on city roads. Previously, in December and November, he had already been held accountable for similar violations, receiving administrative reports and losing his vehicle.

Several incidents of stunt driving have been recorded by police in the area recently.

«They»re taking my car for the third time; the car doesn«t even belong to me, my friends lent it to me for a few days. As a result, they lost the car,» the blogger commented on the situation.

During previous detentions, the racer explained to police that he committed all traffic violations with the aim of «honing his skills.» In December, his car was also sent to a special parking lot after a video with stunts was published.

Meanwhile, in the Moscow District of St. Petersburg, a 28-year-old resident of Bryansk in a BMW staged a demonstration by circling at an intersection in front of other road users.

Traffic police officers quickly responded to this incident. The driver«s identity was established, and the VIN code of his car was sent for examination. A medical examination showed that the man was sober, but the car was still towed to a special parking lot.

Recently, cases of dangerous driving have increased in St. Petersburg and the region. On Krestovsky Island, a young driver in a VAZ-2105 staged a drift show and received reports, while in the Vsevolozhsky District, a minor drifter was stopped after a chase and brought to administrative responsibility.
