With weather conditions expected to worsen, Astana police have urged drivers to replace summer tyres with winter ones in good time.
Using summer tyres during winter carries an administrative fine of 21,625 to 86,500 tenge under Article 590 of Kazakhstan’s Code of Administrative Offences.
Kazakhstan’s legislation prohibits the use of passenger cars and light trucks without winter tyres from December 1 to February 28. Winter tyres must be fitted on all wheels.
Police noted that cold weather and icy conditions often arrive in Astana before the calendar start of winter, and advised drivers not to wait until December to change their tyres.
The Astana Police Department also urged motorists to check their vehicles’ condition, keep a safe following distance, adjust speed to the weather and avoid sudden manoeuvres. Preparing a vehicle for winter can help reduce the risk of road accidents.
