Astana police brought two 20-year-old BMW drivers to justice for organizing noisy races on the night streets of the capital. The young men not only lost their cars but also were arrested. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
According to the police department, the young men drove around the city at night, systematically violating maneuvering rules. One of the car owners had modified his car's exhaust system to amplify the sound.
