Recently, in Academy City in the Kaunas district, drivers captured an Audi car arrogantly fighting for its priority in a traffic jam, accompanied by SUVs turned on by Safety Management Service officers. The latter, trying not to lose sight of the melting “four wheels”, does not bother to drive not only on the road surface, but also on the green grass on the sidewalk. The residents are convinced that this is how the officials who protect the President of Seimas violate the Road Traffic Rules (KET).
Peculiarities of atrocious driving
After the aforementioned videos showing a black car, accompanied by beacons on the BMW off-road BMW off-road, were posted on the Facebook group “Where is the tripod in Kaunas” with a rhetorical question: “And us mortals? ” , Internet users are floating.
On Monday night, the link to the videos in question reached the portal’s editorial committee. According to the residents of Kaunas, the politician lives in Ringaudai and every morning from the mentioned place he is accompanied to work at the Seimas through the Academy campus, it is likely that he will reach Via Baltica and, from there, to the capital.
It’s not the first time that you realize
So the situation captured on video is not the only one these two cars have been involved in so far, boldly demanding to give them their way at any cost, even with nature-destroying wheels, green grass.
“He is very angry because in the morning the parents take their children to school at the Academy. Congestion on this stretch is certainly not a rarity and all drivers wait patiently until they reach their intended destination. However, when such cunning people appear with their escort, everyone, no matter what, has to withdraw from the road, ”Kaunas residents resented.
They are not surprised by the choice of such a policy: to go to work at a time when vehicles are barely traveling on the road and form the longest queue.
“We understand that a person does not want to stay in Vilnius, he spends the night with his family in Ringaudai. However, is it not possible to go to work at the Seimas leaving home earlier, when the congestion is not so great? So drivers will not have to leave to clear the road, and the passenger and their representatives will not have to break the rules. I wonder if it makes no sense here if the elector’s desire to pay attention to himself and show that not all are equal, are there more equal? ”- the portal readers were surprised.
What in the car – did not reveal
I wonder if it does not make sense here, or is it the desire of the chosen ones to draw attention to themselves and show that they are not all the same, are they more equal?
To find out if said BMW SUV really accompanies V. Pranckietis’s car, the journalists of the portal sent a request to the representatives of the Security Management Service.
Rymantas Mockevičius, director of the Security Management Service, who responded to the sent request, wrote in the sent letter that he could not provide information about the protected person, that is, if the president of the Seimas was driving in the specific case in the car Audi.
How do you accompany protected persons?
According to him, the officials of the Security Management Service, who ensure the protection of protected persons, follow the laws of the Republic of Lithuania, which states that drivers of special vehicles with blue and red beacons and special acoustic signals can use beacons blue and red activated (or only blue) and special beacons. by acoustic signals and in case you are escorted and accompanied by the protected persons specified in the Law on Protection of Management of the Republic of Lithuania. Drivers of special vehicles can disregard the rules as long as they do not endanger road safety and only if they are convinced that they are given a road. This right is also exercised by drivers of vehicles accompanied by special vehicles.
Citing the law, the Director of the Safety Management Service also mentioned point 12 of the KET, which establishes that road users must immediately yield to special vehicles that approach with blue and red beacons (or only blue) and special sound signals and their accompanying vehicles. Vehicle drivers must stop on the right side of the road or, in their absence, on the right edge of the road.
“We regret if the Service officials experience inconvenience or misunderstanding in the performance of their duties and, in turn, ask for the understanding and cooperation of road users,” R. Mockevičius commented briefly.
