Sverdlovsk drivers are queuing up for vehicle inspections.
In the Sverdlovsk Region, car owners have been standing in queues at vehicle inspection stations for several days. Those who fail to meet the deadlines are being fined, and license plates are being taken off their cars.
According to a resident of the Urals, there was a malfunction in the Unified Automated Information System for verifying technical inspections (EASTO).
“They took my plates because I couldn’t register the car on time. And a 500-ruble fine on top of that! But it’s not my fault — I’m standing in line. Yesterday I was ninth, and there were four cars behind me,” the Sverdlovsk resident, who has been waiting for the second day at the gates of the inspection station in Pervouralsk, told the E1.RU portal.
A similar situation is being observed at stations in various cities across the region.
“We called Yekaterinburg, Revda. Everywhere they said the database is unified across the country; it isn’t working. When it will resume is unknown,” the man added.
Several companies that conduct technical inspections have already confirmed reports of the system malfunction. The program’s website also states that it is operating intermittently.
